Chapter 16. Go to hell
Mason’s car stopped in front of Edna’s company then he looked at Skyler.
“When you’re ready to leave, call Alvin to drop you off and I think I should assign a personal bodyguard for you,” he said, more like he was talking to himself.
“No need, I’ve been working without a bodyguard for twenty years now” she rolled her eyes.
“I still insist, the world is not as safe as you think,” Mason replied.
Skyler knew Mason won’t listen to her so she just gave him a dry nod before stepping down from the car.
She waved at him and he only nodded at her and watched her enter the company before he faced the front and Alvin drove off.
The company was quite big, the space was wide enough for people; workers, and security to patrol.
Skyler looked around and hung her backpack properly before she finally found the reception.
She walked over to the woman in glasses, pressing her laptop with a serious look on her face.
“Good morning ma’am, is Miss Edna Delgado on the ground?” Skyler asked politely.
The woman looked up from the laptop and gave her a professional smile.
“Hi! Do you have an appointment with her? What is your name please?” The receptionist asked in a professional tone.
“Yes it’s a private appointment but let her know it’s Skyler…” She began thinking if she should say Delgado but she shook her head and decided to use her last name instead.
“Tell her it’s Skyler Wang, I want to help her in designing her dress for the red carpet event,” Skyler said.
“One second then” the receptionist brought out her telephone. She dialed a number and after a few minutes, she gave Skyler a pass.
“Take the escalator to the third floor then turn right” she directed.
Skyler nodded and did as told till she found herself standing in front of a door then she looked at it.
It revealed a man dressed in the form of a woman but she didn’t mind because she had seen things like this when she worked on glamorous designs.
“Who are you?” Zita looked at her from head to toe but not in a bad way.
“Come on Zita, let her in” Edna rolled her eyes and began walking over to them.
She was dressed in an expensive black flare gown stopping at her knees with red heels.
“Good morning there sister-in-law, I’m glad you made it” She moved closer to Skyler and cheek pecked her on both sides.
“Sister-in-law? Is she married to one of your brothers, Edna?” Zita gasped as he watched Skyler walk in.
“Zita leave me alone and watch over the other models” Edna rolled her eyes and sat down on the couch before crossing her legs together.
“Don’t worry ma’am, I’ll come back later for the gist!” Zita blew kisses at her before leaving the office.
Edna stared at Skyler with a smile and Skyler looked like she didn’t know what to do.
“Come on sis, sit beside me,” Edna said.
Skyler nodded and took off her backpack before taking the space beside Edna.
“So what are you planning to do concerning my dress?” Edna asked.
“You can tell me what you have in mind and I’ll sketch them” Skyler replied and she brought out her sketchbook and pencil from her backpack.
“Okay,” Edna stood up and faced Skyler.
“Take a look at me, I want this slim fishtail gown that would help in bringing out my bóobs, curves, and ass that I don’t have ” Edna rolled her eyes before going to her dreamland again.
“Then there will be this giant bow tie behind my back. The dress would have some shining feathers and… I don’t know but I’m picturing myself to look graceful, like the angel I am” Edna sighed with a smile before looking at Skyler who was busy with her sketchbook.
After some minutes, Skyler showed it to her.
“Something like this?” She asked.
Edna’s eyes widened as she collected it. “Hell, it’s just like I imagined, who taught you how to draw like this?” She looked dazzled.
“It’s a gift, I have a passion for fashion design,” Skyler smiled and stood up.
Edna was too surprised to talk.
“How do you want the color to be or should I look for one?” She asked.
“Cream mixed with a light blue sort of, I will pay for all the expenses, send your account details!” Edna gave the book back to Skyler.
“Thank you, I will start working on it because it will take time,” Skyler smiled at her.

STARBUCKS STUDIO★
“And cut!” Director James said.
Ivy and Blake stopped the scenes they were shooting immediately.
“That was perfect, we’ll continue tomorrow,” he said and the cameramen began leaving.
Ivy began limping to a nearby chair. She hurt her legs earlier while shooting.
“Still hurt?” Blake came to sit beside her and she nodded.
He took her legs but she pulled back. He gave her a stare before taking off her heels and placing her legs on his thigh.
It was swollen red.
“Looks bad, a soft massage will be fine,” he said before looking back. “Can anyone get some leg ointment?” He asked out loud.
A few minutes later, a worker brought the ointment and he began using it on her legs gently.
“Blake” a family voice called him and he turned back to see Regina. She didn’t look happy with what she was saying.
“Babe… oh it’s not what you think, she hurt her legs so I’m helping her” he immediately explained.
“But it still looks inappropriate since you’re a man,” she said before shaking her head.
“Oh no, I forgot the present I bought for director James in my car, babe can you help me get it? I’ll take care of Ivy ” Regina said with a sweet smile.
“Sure” Blake nodded and stood up and left. Regina sat beside Ivy and then took her legs.
“You should know that you’re nothing but a co-star to my boyfriend so you should shake whatever you’re having in your head or you will get it from me” Regina gave her a warning look.
Ivy just stared at her face, she couldn’t blink until Blake came back.
“Here are the flowers babe,” he said.
Regina stood up and hugged Blake’s arms with a smile.
“Ivy is fine, I took care of her legs,” she said to him.
“Really?” Blake looked at Ivy but she looked elsewhere.
“Yes babe, come on let’s go see the director” She held his hands and pulled him out.
Ivy only stared at them till they were out of sight.

D•S STYLES★
Mason finally closed his laptop after a two-hour online meeting with some online investors who seemed to be interested in working with him.
A knock sounded on his door and he adjusted his face mask.
“Come in” he replied and the door opened and Sunny stepped in with a small carton in her hands.
“Boss this package arrived and I don’t know if you know the person that sent it to you” she reported.
“Drop it and leave” came an order she obeyed.
Mason sighed and opened the carton. There was a letter and he opened it with a blank look.
His eyes narrowed when he saw the blood-stained ink of writing that said ‘D•S is mine, go to hell’.
