Chapter 74: Unfortunate News
The soft hum of the air conditioner filled the quiet office as Brooke carefully laid out her designs on Brandon’s desk. Her fingers traced the intricate lines and vibrant colors, a testament to countless hours of meticulous work, not just hers.
"What do you think of my work?" she asked, her voice a mix of confidence and pride.
Brandon leaned in, his eyes scanning the designs. A slow smile spread across his face. "These are incredible, Brooke. You have outdone yourself."
"I could tell that you were beginning to doubt me." She pouted.
Brandon had indeed been worried that bringing Brooke to the fashion house, and annoying Lyse enough that she had quit had been a huge mistake. However as he examined the work in front of him, he had to acknowledge that Brooke had done some great work.
"Why would I ever doubt you?" He refuted. "Your award winning designs were spectacular, and I know you only needed time to get back on track."
Her heart swelled with happiness at Brandon’s feedback and praise, she just wished that he would shower her with as much affection in their relationship.
"Thank you Brandon," she replied, a blush creeping up her cheeks. "I did not want to disappoint you so I had been working on them for weeks to make it perfect."
"What about your submission for the contest, can I see it?" Brandon asked.
"No." Brookr answered too quickly and when Brandon raised an eyebrow she hurriedly explained. "I am not finished with it yet."
Brandon nodded. "Well, judging by your work, I am certain you will win and make us proud."
