章節 13: A day without Aria

The next day,

"These are the designs?" Adriana asked her subordinate. "Yes, Ma'am" He responded confidently.

"You are joking right?" Adriana asked him with a sarcastic expression on her face. The man's smile froze and his whole body froze along with it.

Adriana handed him the design staring into his eyes asking him again if he was joking. "The details are horrible. *Sigh* start this over again. Fix these two parts. I told you before to think about how it will match with the bottoms. Complications such as rain and what if the person starts running? The material is strong enough but the design isn't. This can be considered a draft but you must be crazy to tell me this is your final result."

Adriana explained to him all of the problems and excused him out of the room. After signing a few more things she got up and packed up a few files to carry in her hands towards the meeting room.

KNOCK KNOCK

"Come in." She welcomed Natalie inside.

"Ma'am, everyone is waiting for you in the meeting room." She informed her Adriana followed her towards the meeting room.

Since she decided to meet Noah and get Aria she also needed an excuse. She had to prepare everything so that she could do the presentation to LABELS and have a good partnership with them.

The least thing she wants is bad blood between ex's and also working partners.

She listened closely to the group presenting the details to the new app they created.

They would add a special tag to the clothes with a code and a barcode. The customer would have the option to insert the code or scan the bar code. Once that's done the item will be added to their virtual 'closet'. All of the items they bought from LABELS and designed by JUSTINE would be there.

They could ask for recommendations of how to match their items or they could do it on their own virtually. Even before buying the item they could also scan the code or barcode and check whether they have anything in their current closet to match it.

Adriana had been wanting to do this for a while but she had never gotten the opportunity. LABELS is a big and powerful company. They are the perfect partners to execute this plan with.

She created the basics and worked with her team to make sure the app is going well. She would take their results to LABELS, present it and finally get the final opinions from the people there.

She wanted this app to be available for all stores and types of clothings including accessories and shoes. For now she would only work in her clothing and items from LABELS. She would work on expanding later.

"We had a few bugs last week but they are all fixed. Like you requested we had the best members of our team to fix up the recommendation list for the clothings." The person speaking finished the presentation and waited to hear Adriana's say.

"Good. This sounds great, do continue testing the app. We still have a long way to go but it's all good. We got this." She gave them a small smile and exited the room after explaining a few other points.

Natalie followed behind her showing her different designs she had in the folder she was carrying. "I like these two colors. Order more of this fabric." Adriana ordered her.

After the meeting they had sat down in her office to talk about a few other things. She told Natalie to order new fabric in the colors of her choice because she still had a few designs to finish which she wanted to add a little spark to.

Along with the app they would launch a new limited edition collection. She would provide the designs and plans, LABELS would give her the office and a team to work with her. They would also have jewelry designers to work with her in matching them with the clothing.

She wanted to do 10 different designs with only 3 copies of each in 3 different sizes. She had been working on it for a while but now she had the urge to add something to it.

After Natalie left her office she focused on her designing.

After finishing the first draft she created the half of the top. She wanted to see if she was going in the right direction. The collection's theme was black leather. It was a sexy vibe.

She created designs for both men and women and she hoped it would go great.

She had pretty big plans for her career. Now that she was recognized she wanted to do more and truly establish her name in the industry. Right now she is doing well but she must become more powerful to defeat anyone who tries to come after her.

After her work was done she headed home like usual but she wasn't in the best mood. She was missing her daughter but she would not be able to see Aria until a few days later.

********

Just like her Noah had a busy and ordinary day at the office. He did the same he would do everyday with Aria.

To his surprise Aria seemed to be getting closer with Chris.

Of course he wouldn't know that is not that they got closer but that Aria has him completely charmed.

Aria had been acting extra cute so that she could charm Noah and make sure he doesn't abadom her but while she tried that Chris ended up loving her. He would do his best to spoil her even!

One was working hard to prepare herself to get her daughter back, the other was watching over Aria to make sure she is okay with his presence and her new way of living. Aria and James on the other hand had been talking secretly.

When Aria found out that James snitched on her she was upset and she acted cold towards him.

"Brother..." She called out through the phone ready to confront him.
