She was having a dilemma!!
She can't do the 'negotiating'. She was only 9 years old!! It would raise suspicion from Stella the witch!! But if she remain here she will go crazy from Stella the witch and her 2 half sisters. She can wait for atleast 3 years and can do the negotiate thingy. So all she could do as of now was to build her foundation!! She wanted to be a star!! So she need to know how to sing, dance and act. She's already beautiful enough to cause a continent's downfall and most especially she also need to earn money and earn her popularity!!
Money makes the world go around!! Money means power and so is popularity!! Popularity can wait but money cannot!! In her past life, she studied fashion design via a scholarship. She can do sewing and design clothes. In the past, she had an online shop to sell her personally designed clothes and although it's not branded clothes she was still earning a lot through it. She stopped designing clothes after she entered the agency and the rest was history.
Her crystal blue eyes held sorrow and pain as she reminisce her past life. She was born an orphan. She had no company as she grow up but she never gave up. She earned money through her talent and pursue her dream to be a star as she self supported herself and spent almost 5 years trying to debut. After gaining a sponsor and having the chance to debut. The chance was suddenly out of her grasp as she was ruined by her own best friend. It was all too late to mourn for this. The God was not blind!! It has given her another chance to pursue her dream!!
She suddenly felt her lap becoming wet. Her eyes has involuntarily teared as she was reminiscing her past.
She wiped her tears as her eyes flashed with determination. I won't fall for that trick again!! People are the most dangerous thing on earth!!
She hastily stand up and rign the bell for the maid.
"Yes mistress?" - the elderly maid said as she bowed
The elderly maid was Trina. The one who had taken care of her since her Mother has died. The maid in the house were all Stella's minions but Elder Trina was the only one who were true to her. She would always try to defend her when she was being bullied and the one who fed her when she was being locked up.
Her eyes warmed as memories of the girl about this elder flashed in her mind.
"Do you have a sewing machine and some unused cloth or silk?" she ask elder Trina with excitement
She was unable to control her excitement. It has been a lifetime since she had been able to touch a sewing machine much less to sew some clothes. It has been her first love other than singing and dancing.
Elder Trina seemed stunned upon seeing her young mistress excitement. It involuntarily eases the elder's worries as she was really worried to her young mistress well-being and feelings.
"I think we have a sewing machine on the attics and I also have some unused cloth but we have no silk young mistress" elder Trina replied after being stunned
Rosea nodded "Just wait Elder Trina" she said and stand up from her bed to rummage on her bedside table. When she found the thing she was searching for she abruptly gave it to Elder Trina.
"This... Young mistress..." Elder Trina was speechless when she saw a pair of beautiful earings in her hand
Rosea smiled and tried to act cutely.
"Such things had no worth to me. Please have it pawn and buy some silks, sewing kit and some of your needs Elder Trina" Risea said and smiled warmly paired with her ethereal beauty Elder Trina couldn't help but be awed by her young mistress.
"But young mistress If the other maid found out about this. Stella... I mean Madame Stella would probably lock you up" Elder Trina tried to reason but Rosea just continued to smile
"I'm not afraid anymore Elder Trina and I trust you" she said
Her reply was short yet it explain a lot.
Elder Trina was even more stunned and amazed. Her eyes getting teary. 'My young mistress is already growing up!!' even though she was confused that her young mistress seemed different. She was more happy to accept it. 'Her young mistress has finally matured and become more sensible!! If only late Madame could see this'
"And also put all the things in the attic" she said
Elder Trina nodded and immediately leave after pocketing the pair of earings.
Stella the witch hated having in contact with dirt so she never enter the attic. The attic was the only solace Rosea ever had.
***
After Elder Trina has left. She decided to go to the study room. The study room has lot of books and it was also the only room that has a conputer. Stella hated her to the very core and she like flaunting her richness so althiugh she was mistreated by her. The small mansion has everything but it was also a prison to her. If Stella was not in mood. Stella would locked her up and never give her any food for 2 days or worst it would be extended for 5 days until Stella's mood became good again. Stella never raised her hand at her because she was worried that it would make her dirty so she abused her through not feeding her for days, locking her up and making her do all the household chores. Stella treated her basically like an animal.
If Stella tell her to sit, she would sit. She was basically a dog.
She was so angry upon seeing the memories so she cpuld only kick the study room's door but let out an 'ouch' as her feet came in contact with the hard wood.
'Damn it!! It hurts!!' she cursed and hopped on her other leg as she walk insie the study room. She locked the door for privacy.
It was 2009 and online selling was still not popular but it was already invented. To make an online shop. She would need to make a page or a site. She need to do some decor to make it more attractive. She need to put something to prove it's legitimacy. She could use a pseudo name to represent her shop and the person itself. Her online shop in the past was (french name). She could use it to represent her shop and herself.
If she would ever pursue the Fashion design industry. She would have more advantage as she already saw a lpt of attractive designs and modern clothes in her past life. She could use her past life as a foundation for her new life!!
As she make her page. She already got some pencil and paper in the study room to sketch some of her designs that is inspired by her past life. When her hand hold the pencil it draw, her hand expertly sketched as if it was not her forst time but as if she has done it a lot of times. Few hours has passed and she had already used a lot of papers and designed a lot of clothes. After realizing that she had already draw a lot. Her hand started to ache. She was amazed and also stunned ehen she saw her drawings alhtough it was not expertly sketched like in her past life it was still amazing that she can still sketch so accurately as before.
*knock knock*
*cough cough* "Young mistress I have already returned" Elder Trina's voice was clear yet she had also set her voice so low that she could be only one to hear it.
Rosea smiled as she applaud Elder Trina in her mind for being careful.
She shut down the computer and fold the papers before opening the door.
Elder Trina bowed and whispered to her "The things are already in the attic young mistress. I have distracted the other maids and has secretly put the things you wanted in the attic"
Roseau smiled and nodded.
"Thank you Elder Trina. You are the only one I could count on" Roseau said warmly
Elder Trina smiled and excuses herself and left.
Her hand suddenly trembled as her eyes flashed with stars. She couldn't contain her excitement as she decided to spend her night sewing clothes
Updates will be next week after my dance practice. Sorry for the slow update.
