Chapter Thirty Five

"I missed you, Mandy"

"I missed you too baby girl. We haven't had enough time to spend with each other since you've been working"

"You know I'll rather spend every minute of the day with you but work has been choking"

"I know that boyfriend of yours has been keeping you busier" she winked at me "Where is he?, Are you not meant to be spending the weekend in his house"

"He traveled"

"Awww, I know you are missing him. How is your relationship?"

"Cool, we've not heard any issue yet. I'm even helping him on his new project"

"Really!!!, That's great news. So when is the release date of the collection, let me start preparing my dress"

"He has not yet announced the release of his new designs, he's keeping it a secret. It's only him, the stylist and I that know and now you. He won't release anything yet until he has finalized everything"

"Do you have the sketches?" She asked "Can I see them" I was skeptical about showing her but I trusted her and so I went to the living room to get them. I went to the table to get it but it was not there. My heart skipped a bit

"It must have fallen on the ground," I thought

I checked under the table but it was not there. I went back to the room and opened the bed drawer. I prayed silently in my mind

"Please God, please" I chanted silently. My hands were shaky as I opened the remaining drawers. It was just my stuff there

"What are you looking for Euli," Mandy asked with concern

"I can't find the sketches I brought home"

"What, have you checked everywhere?"

Tears left my eyes "They are not where I left them Mandy" I sat down and put my face in my hands

"What am I going to tell Constantine. He trusted me with it"

"Calm down babes, I'll help you find it"

"I've searched everywhere and it's not there. What am I going to do now"

"Maybe, you did not check some places well. I'll go back and search again" she left the room

"How will I explain this to Constantine," I asked myself. "I'm finished"

I racked my brain to remember if I had actually brought them home or if I left them in the office but I remembered bringing them back home and keeping them on the table living room.

"Or did somebody take it? Who visited me?" It suddenly clicked

Larissa.

She came to my house and I know she is the only one that has a grudge against me. How could I have been so stupid to allow her to come into my house? When I knew she did not like me. She had planned this

"I did not see the sketches anywhere in the house. Did you have any visitors since you brought it to the house? The person might have seen it"

"Yes Francis and Larissa came to the house but now I have a feeling it's Larissa. She came here to threaten me"

"Who is this Larissa?"

"She's Constantine's ex who has sworn to make my life a living hell"

"If you think it is this Larissa girl then let's go to her house and confront her. We can even threaten her too"

"The problem is that I know nothing about where she lives. I just know she is a model and Constantine's ex"

"That's why we have the internet. If she's Constantine's ex, then there will be information about her on the internet. Before that, I think you should call your boyfriend and tell him now before things get out of hand"

"No, no, no, no, I can't do that"

"Why? You must tell him now before he finds out himself. He won't be happy when he finds out himself"

"He's going to be very angry at me. No, he will be furious. I don't think I can handle that. We will just find a way and get the samples back and then we act like none of this happened"

Mandy brought out her phone and googled Larissa. Everything about her was on the internet. She was even a divorcee. That was not my problem right now. We checked for her house address and it was there too.

'Why would her house address be on the internet' I wondered.

We copied the address down

"Wait" I stopped Mandy "If we go there without  evidence to prove, she can have us arrested"

"We will have to find another way to go about it"

Just then, my phone chimed and a notification popped at the top of the screen. It was business news and the headline was DANIEL CAESARE, SECOND BIGGEST UNDERWEAR DESIGN COMPANY HAS JUST RELEASED SAMPLE NEW DESIGNS FOR NEXT COLLECTION. WE CAN'T WAIT FOR THE LAUNCH.

According to the interview he had yesterday with a fashion magazine, he said this was just a teaser and the collection will be much more than you expected. He also promised this collection will be far better than the last one.

I scoffed as I read through the write-up. I scrolled up the part where the designs were uploaded and my eyes almost left the socket. Those were the sketches of the designs I was looking for, he had stolen them. But how did he possibly get them? I had not come in contact with that man.

"Shit" I blurted out and turned to Mandy

"What's that?, What did you see"

"Ummm, those designs are on the internet. The designs I was looking for our rival has claimed it as his own. Someone had clearly stolen them and given them to him"

"Fuck!!!!, This is worse than we thought. What are we going to do now?"

"I don't know Mandy, I can't even think clearly right now"

"I think is high time you call your boyfriend and let him know what has happened before he sees it online"

"I'm finished" I muttered to myself

I need to get to the office and do something
