Chapter 1

"Joy Sebastian, come down here now" a voice resounded in the house as Joy smiled upstairs and gently climbed down from her bed, wore her cute pink fluffy slippers and walked out of her room to meet her father. The impatient almighty Goerge Sebastian was already climbing up to meet his daughter since she refused to respond to his calling. 

"finally, the goddess decided to hear my calling" he said as they met at the stairs. "Dad, let's talk in your study, you won't want aunty Mimi to hear us scream" she said silently but audible to the man in front of her, "so now, you know what this is all about, hmm" Goerge said but she pulled her father's hand with a cunny smile on her face and led him to the study, she looked left and right before shutting the door of the study. The frustrated George immediately sat on his favorite gray chair and watched his daughter as she comfortably sat on the opposite chair like a queen in a ceremony.

"May I know the simple reason you have to send your new Nanny away" Goerge said with a red eye. "Dad, don't scare me like that, I surely do have a reason for sending them away" she said reluctantly, "ohh, please tell me it's one of those your silly reasons like, she packed my lunch pack wrong, she doesn't know my favorite plate, she gave me watermelon instead of pineapple, if it's one of it, I don't want to hear it, give me a tangible reason or I will bring her back now" Goerge said mimicking her attitude and voice whenever she make complains of her nannies making her to laugh. "Dad, I do have a tangible reason this time. She pulled my hair roughly while combing it and when I complained she ignored me, I complained again and she said no wonder my mum left me, that I am just a lousy nagging baby" joy said and Goerge raised his eye to see if Joy said the truth or not. "I couldn't hold on having a nanny insult me because of my mother's irresponsible attitude". After close scrutinizing, Goerge asked her one more time if she is saying the truth and she confirmed. Goerge knew certainly at the back of his mind that Joy was hurting behind that smile of hers but he still couldn't help more that this, he doesn't want to hear her crying because of this anymore, she was born a premature and prone to sickness, and evach time she cries heavily, she falls sick and get admitted for days. 

"Okay, I have heard you on this, we won't talk about it again but next time, inform me before you send any nanny away" he said as he stands up and rubs her head. "Dad, did you rush from work to confirm the reason why I sacked a nanny?" Joy asked and Goerge smiled, "go and change, I will to go on a date with you, my lady" Goerge said and joy was shocked, "are you been sincere right now?" She asked in disbelief as she raised her head to look at her father's face who had his signature smile on his face. "Yes, let this gentleman spend time with you today" Goerge said and urged her to go and change, joy immediately went out while Goerge checked on his job updates before he went to change to casual date wear. He met joy sitting on the chair in the sitting waiting patiently for him, "let go milady" he said and stretched his hand to her and she held his hand and they went out. They got to the parking lot and joy picked the call of her choice, she claimed she wanted a low profile date, so she picked an Audi R8 and George drove her to the restaurant of her choice.

In Academy of art university, Durham, exactly 3:55am, two level 3 fashionists who were deeply engrossed in their work in the work room, they were joyfully working on their projects while playing romantic songs and singing along, dramatically getting their works done. "I can't wait to see the surprise on my dad's face when he sees my project" Maria said as she has a look of satisfaction on her face while looking at her almost done work and Beatrice smiled, "you know, this project is the last for this semester, I can't wait to go home to my father and also see Sam, I miss them, Sam will have grown taller than me now" she said and keep working on her fabric, "I also miss Sam, my forever sweetheart" Maria said as she looked at her work again with a look of satisfaction.

"The teachers will be surprised to see our project, especially yours, this isn't my best but this is the best for a short period of time, I'm proud of myself" Maria said as she rested her back and eat her chocolates, "don't tell me you are tired already" Beatrice said as she eye her and continued her work, "I have tried my best, it's almost day break, I can't even feel my feet anymore,I am aching all over, we started in the evening till now, trust me, I will faint if I should continue working" Maria started her complaint with a pout."are you sure you want to be a fashion designer or just a rich fellow who loves to dress herself and know what is best for her skin" Beatrice said as she walked to her and picked the chocolate from her side, biting little before sitting and observing her work from sidelines. "I just want to be free, no stress" Maria said as she placed her head on Beatrice's shoulder looking for comfort.

"Then just be a ghost, then I will give your crush out to Cassandra Cain" Beatrice said and Maria immediately raised her head and glare at Beatrice, "don't you dare to touch my man, and don't mind that fakie before me, she is just to fake and arrogant" Maria said with a cold eye. Beatrice started laughing at her, it was then she realized she had been fooled, Beatrice was just trying to talk her into realizing that she still needs to work.

 "Up, up, few minutes before day break, so let's be fast, you can't win the heart of the great Basse like this, you win him over with your dedication and hard work, not with your lazy ass beauty"she said, "at least I'm beautiful enough to woo him over" Maria said as she watch her start her work again, she couldn't help but envy her zeal for fashion and her dedication to designing, "I envy your zeal, Bea" Maria said and they started their work back, as they were dancing and eating their snack till day break.
