When she got to the office she saw her colleagues crowding around Tina's seat
"Is everything okay"she asked as she walks toward them.
Although her relationship with all of them was just a normal relationship between workers,they still had there friendly moment.
"Tina's boyfriend proposed to her,the ring is so beautiful" a lady explained as they all gush over the ring.
Amyra reach her side and covered her hand when she saw the ring "Oh my god,this is so beautiful... congratulations girl"
"Thank you so much" Tina replied her with a blush rising up her cheeks.
"He even got her the latest bag that was just dropped by WB collections" another lady said.
"That is so nice"she replied
"Everybody it's time to cut and sew" a giant looking lady in an eight inches heel came in and clapped her hand while giving out the announcement.
They all scrambled back to their seat as they greeted her.
"The creative team has made a new design which will be added to the collection for this summer and it should be ready in a two weeks because we want all the clothes ready for the final fitting two weeks before the event " she explained as she stood in front of them.
"After it has been made for the first fitting in two week it will be sent to the factory for the production and I expect everything to go as planned " she paused "do you understand "
"Yes ma'am "they all chorus
She signalled to her Personal assistant to give her the folder in her hand. She leafed through it before putting her glasses on her eyes.
"Scott,Mark,Rosalia,Amyra and Tina will be required to dedicate their time to this production,Roselia and Amyra will go to the fabric warehouse to look for the required fabric for this dress" she looked up from the paper and glanced at both of them, "any problem" she asked.
"Not at all" Rosalia answered while Amyra shook her head reluctantly.
She has notice a kind of underlying tension from Mrs Grady towards her,she thought it was something she did the first day until it persisted and she came to realize that it was not her fault. Fabric shopping was something that was always done by another person who was not part of the production team for that particular project.
Anytime there was an opportunity to send someone out of the company she did not hesitate to push Amyra to the curb,she knew her name would be mentioned even before she did, anytime a new design came in and she was not busy with the production of one,she will always be asked to fabric shop.
"A prototype of the design will be passed to you and do not forget,if it gets leak all of you will be held accountable for it,I expect a decision to be made among you guys by the end of the day so that you the both of them can go to the warehouse today"she pointed to Amyra and Rosalia. Her assistant passed one of the sheets to Scott who was closer to her.
"But Mrs Grady,we don't know when we will be done with the consultation on fabric" Amyra said in a confused manner.
Mrs Grady frowned her face as she looked at her "I want that fabric by tomorrow morning,I don't care if you have to get it in the midnight. And who the hell do you think you are to tell me that nonsense after I told you to do something " she shouted at her.
Everybody starred at her her and some started whispering to themselves.
"If not that your sister is a well known model you think we would even consider hiring you good for nothing "she sneered.
Amyra looked down and decided not to say anything,she wanted to leave the company without having any issue with anyone and not getting on Mrs Grady bad side was one of it since there were rumors she is in a relationship outside her marriage with the general manager.
Mrs Grady gave her a dirty look before directing her attention to the others,she has always hated the look on Amyra's face,the look of someone whose world is perfect,the look makes her feel less of herself before but after she was given the free reign to treat her as she wish she has always look for opportunity to belittle her.
"I believe that is all for now,have a nice day" she said and work out of the room with her assistant at her tail.
The five of them assigned to the project went into the workshop took a seat on the chairs.
They gave themselves an awkward look while Amyra kept her eyes on the book in front of her.
After sometimes Scott cleared his throat loudly before speaking "This is the first summer project collection I will be taking and I hope we will all work together to make it the best"
Tina stood up and gave a huge smile "Let's make this team one of the best collaboration ever" she said loudly and that seems to remove the awkward tension around.
Scott stood up and walked towards the board in the workshop,he pinned the design prototype on it and dragged it closer to them.
"From what I can see here,this dress is an outdoor design,it has a mesh design as its upper part and the it has a loose boat neckline" he explained as he use a pen to signify the part he was talking about.
Amyra raised her head and spoke up "I thought the design was suppose to be sent as a soft copy for easier access" she asked
"I think it will be sent after sometimes "Tina replied her.
Rosalia stood up and walk towards the door "we don't have time to waste,I will meet up with Mrs Grady assistant and ask her to send it to the work tab" he walked out of the workshop and closed the door after him.
They all sat down while waiting for him to come back.
"I vote we hit pause and do a quick two minutes reset on the current mood" Mark joked with a silly grin.
They all burst into laughter at his remark which removed the tension in the air.
Mark came back few minutes later and they started the discussion and observation of the design to know which material and finishing to use.
After five hours with no break in between they later came up with an outfit outline.
They decided to go with the colour sky blue but there will be other colours base on demand for it,the dress will be in two form,a plain dress and a patterned one.
The plain one will be in viscose material which will give it a silky feel and will be a midi wrap dress while the patterned one will be in chiffon material with a little touch of white.
After they've decided on material and colour,it was sent back to the creative department for the final approval from the designer and they went for a short break.
It was delivered back to them after an hour with the approval and signature of both the designer and general manager.
Amyra and Rosalia both proceeded to go pick up the material at the warehouse.
