Undercover: Book 3 — Chapter 61

I waited impatiently, my nails tapping my cheek as I waited for the results of what Mrs. Thompson thought of my new designs. This was nerve wrecking.

"Claire?" I heard her assistant call and I abruptly stood up.

"Yes?" I asked, walking over to her and she smiled.

"Mrs. Thompson is ready for you,” she said and I nodded, heading into her office. Sitting there was another blonde woman who looked very similar.

"Claire, I'd like to introduce you to my daughter, Clover. I was very impressed with your work here and although I never stay in a place too long before the end of your year as an intern you will have a chance to make real clothes instead of just doing sketches. You will watch your clothes get modelled and you will see the real fashion industry for what it is. Clover here has specifically agreed to model this line of clothes if you're willing to make them,” Mrs. Thompson said and I only could stare at her. Was she serious? I didn't know how famous her daughter was or how much experience she had when it came to being a model but it sounded like a good enough offer to me.

"Wow, uh thank you so much," I said shaking her hand and her daughters.

"You're very talented, Claire. I hope to see your work in the future,” she said smiling and I returned the smile.

"Thank you again," I said before letting Mrs. Thompson dismiss me as I walked out I bumped into a familiar face.

"West?" I asked surprised and he smiled throwing his arms around me.

"Yogurt girl! It's been awhile. How have you been?" he asked and I shrugged.

"I've been better. What are you doing here?" I asked, surprised to see him at a fashion place.

"My cousin kind of owns the place,” he said and I gasped. West's last name was Thompson. How could I be so stupid?

"Oh, wow I feel really stupid right now," I said nodding and he only chuckled.

"It's cool. What about you?" He asked and I held up the little folder in my hand.

"I kind of work here now. Only as an internship,” I said awkwardly.

"We should catch up soon. I'm in school now so my schedule's a little busy, but I'm sure I can fit in a cup of frozen yogurt for the one and only,” he said and I couldn't help but smile.

"Sounds great. Just text me sometime soon, okay?" I said and he nodded before giving me one last hug. I returned to my station as he went inside his cousin's office. Everything was slowly turning out great and I don't think I could be happier.
