Believing In Love Again
A Change.
[ONE MONTH LATER] Ever since i quit my job at the fashion company, i got a lot done at the apartment. I began to sketch more interesting drawings for my next project. I was thinking of opening up my own fashion studio that will turn into a company. So i i began to look around town for studio spaces to create my work area. It took me a while to find a space but i found one and is debating if i should sign the lease or not. I took some time to think about it. During the month, Lila and Kai went on their honeymoon to Bali. They had already gotten back from vacation together and now they are moving into their new two story home. Lila had told me that Ryan is on the verge of opening his second restaurant in the city.
While i was at home working on some sketches, someone rang the doorbell of my apartment. I got up from my sofa and went to get the door. It was Scott at the door. He came inside of my apartment holding a package in his hands and into the living room. I followed him from behind. We both sat on the sofa talking to each other and catching up.
Scott : it's been a long time since we talked.
Jane : it really has been a long time.
Scott (*asks) : how have you been ?
Jane (*smiles & says) : i've been good. I quit my job at the fashion company a month ago.
Scott : i'm sorry to hear that. I hope you feel better now.
Jane : i'm sorry Scott for what happened between us.
Scott : i'm sorry too. I think i took it too far and blamed you for being you.
Scott : you were just doing how you felt.
Jane : well. That thing that i did hurt other people and i felt bad about it.
Jane : i don't deserve to be forgiven.
Scott : i forgave you a long time ago Jane.
Jane : yeah, but there is still one person who hasn't forgave me yet.
Scott (*asks) : Ryan ?
Jane : right.
Scott (*says & asks) : during the time that you've spent with him, did you fall in love again ?
Jane (*nods her head & says) : completely.
Scott : then you should go to him.
Jane : he hates me Scott. He doesn't want to see me ever again.
Jane : i really messed up this time and i can't redo it.
Scott : it's just been a month since you two argued. He can't be mad at you forever.
Scott : i kind of think that he does love you back and wants to be with you Jane.
Jane : i don't think he loves me back. He said those things to me and it's clear.
Scott : i promise you that he will forgive you and you two will be together one day.
I smiled and Scott continue to say...
Scott (*shows me the package & letter) : these came in the mail for you.
Scott gave the package and letter to me. I took it and looked at it. Scott says...
Scott : it was outside of your door so i took it inside for you.
Jane (*asks) : did you see who sent this ?
Scott : no but i think someone personally wanted to deliver it to you.
Jane (*says calmly) : Oh.
Scott : i want you to be happy, that's all i want for you Jane.
Jane (*smiles & says) : thank you Scott.
Scott : I hope you feel better Jane.
Jane : a lot better now.
Scott : i got to get to work now. I’ll see you later.
Jane : okay. Bye Scott.
Scott : bye.
Scott walked himself out of my apartment. I sat there opening the letter. It was an invitation to Ryan’s restaurant opening that was addressed to this week on Thursday at 6PM. The card was placed in a neat and nice envelope.
I smiled at the invitation and took a second to think about if i should attend or not. Then i opened up the package. It was placed in a yellow long envelope. There was a paper contract and i took it out. It’s a lease contract for a studio space in New York City. It had already been signed in my name and someone else’s name as well. I had no idea who it was because the signature was anonymous. It kind of made me think that someone out there is trying to help me out despite knowing that i was trying build a company of my own right now. The only person i told was Brenda and maybe she told someone else ? I wouldn't know. So i got the courage to go to the studio space lease to check it out. Once i got there, i talked to the manager who was involved and he told me everything. The place was so pretty and spacious to work with. I could really see myself working as my own boss there.
Manager : im so glad that you came today to check out the place.
Jane (*asks) : why is that ?
Manager : the other person who signed the lease came by this early morning to talk to me.
Manager : he said that you would come by this afternoon to check out the place.
Jane (*asks) : do you happen to know who it is ?
Manager : that, i can't tell you.
Jane : oh. This studio is amazing and spacious.
Jane : i can't believe nobody bought it before us.
Manager : the price wasn't for anybody so it's been on the market for a long while.
Jane (*asks) : how much was it if you don't mind me asking ?
Manager : it was $15,000 for the entire studio. It doesn't come with a deposit or anything.
Manager : it's all been paid for.
Jane (*asks) : how did that person manage to pay that much ? how does one get that much money ?
Manager : im not sure actually but he paid it all in one go.
Manager : what's interesting is that he said he’s doing it for the person he loves.
Manager : i guess you would do everything in your power to make the person you love love them.
Manager : it sounds just like a romantic movie.
Jane (*smiles & says) : it sure does.
The building manager gave me the keys to the studio building. Then he continues to say…
Manager : im going to leave it to you. Congratulations on the studio space.
Jane (*smiles & says) : thank you.
Manager : you should really thank the person who signed this place.
Jane : i wish i knew who it was.
Manager : you should find out.
Jane : thank you again.
Manager : have a good day.
The manager left the building to me. I took the time to measure out the space for the furniture. It took me a few hours and i went home afterwards. I spent the rest of the day looking at furniture on the internet. I sketched out an idea of what my fashion studio was going to look like. On one side of the studio will be my personal space for my office. The theme color is white. I'm going to have a white working table, white cushioned chair, plastic clear chair for anyone to sit in front of me while i work or hold personal meetings.
Since i already had a mac computer at home, i was going to bring it to the studio to work. I didn't need it at home so it’ll save me money to bring it to work instead of buying another one. On the other side of the studio space, i wanted to have a big island table for creation work space where we would work on new designs. The table isn't just a design work space but also a big meeting table for staff meetings together. It will be transformed into a big meeting table. It will be located in the middle of the studio.
Then the other side of the studio was going to be the employee’s office spaces. I wanted to start off with 5 employees possibility for designers, skechers, manufacturers, fabric distributors, and computer geniuses who will take care of orders and scheduling meetings. I didn't want to do too much until the fashion company builds up into the market, then i’ll add more staff members or hire interns. So that was my plan so far. I spent the next few days ordering furniture online and going to different stores in the city to find the right set of office furniture for the studio. It was all coming together in one piece and the company was being built slowly. I couldn't even believe it with my own eyes that i'm actually branching out and doing this on my own.
While i was at home working on some sketches, someone rang the doorbell of my apartment. I got up from my sofa and went to get the door. It was Scott at the door.
