Chapter 37: Tell Me You Miss Me
It’s been a week now, D•Styles was already open, taking in some people that came to audition for the competition with their drawings and designs.
Skyler looked at herself in the mirror for the umpteenth time, she was already at D•S but she was in the restroom. Earlier she talked to Mason about being fair with those competitors and not to give her any favors because she was his wife.
“Nervous?” A female voice sounded behind her and Skyler turned back to see a girl in red short hair.
“Cynthia Roberts” she stretched her hands out as she introduced herself.
“Skyler…” Skyler thought she shouldn’t tell Cynthia that she’s married so she used her original name instead.
“Skyler Wang” she smiled and accepted the handshake.
“Chinese?” Cynthia narrowed her eyes.
“Hmm, half Chinese half American” Skyler replied and Cynthia nodded but didn’t let go of Skyler’s hands when she saw the diamond ring on Skyler’s fingers.
“You’re married” she said and Skyler immediately withdrew her hands.
“Hmm, my husband is in support of me coming here” she let out a smile before excusing herself away from the restroom.
The next person she bumped into was Felix. Her eyes widened in a little bit of surprise.
“What are you doing here?” Felix asked.
“I should ask you that, you’re leaving glamorous designs to chase your path here?” She crossed her arms under her chest.
“Shouldn’t I tell you that, you did exactly the same thing I did so I don’t care what you say” Felix scoffed and walked past her.
“Good luck getting in without needing my help!!” Skyler shouted after him and he stopped on his tracks then turned to her.
“What did you say?” He slowly asked.
The smirk on Skyler’s face widened as she stared at him.
“You’ve always used me when we were together right? You couldn’t do your projects without asking for my help and now it’s slapping you right across the face. You can’t do anything without me now so good luck” Skyler smirked, staring at him daringly.
Felix burst out into laughter.
“So are you trying to say you need me back?” He asked.
“No, I’m married” she showed off her ring before walking off.
Felix wanted to go after her but the door to Mason’s office opened and Sunny stepped out.
“Felix Newman?” She looked around.
“Here” Felix raised his hands.
“It’s your turn” she replied and went back in.
Felix arranged his collar probably before moving forward, opening the door and going in.
Mason was busy going through some files, he felt someone was in his office but he didn’t bother to look at who.
“Have your sit, tell me what you’re hoping to archive, bring for the company in the future and your works” He ordered as he flipped through another page of the file he was going through.
Felix took his head and dropped his sketchbook on the table.
“First I would love to say I love you so much, I’ve been a huge fan and you’re my role model” he said with a smile.
“That’s not what I asked” Mason wasn’t looking at him but he rolled his eyes.
“Okay, I want to be an upcoming fashion designer. I want to be able to own a big company one day and come up with new ideas that would increase the sales and fame of the company. Here is my work” he passed his sketchbook to Mason.
Mason collected it and began going through it but they all looked familiar. It felt like he had seen this exact type of drawings before.Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
He raised his head up to look at the man in front of him and it all occurred to him. This was Skyler’s ex, he stole her work and he got the guts to sit opposite him.
Felix smiled when Mason looked at him. He couldn’t recognize Mason because he had his nose mask on but with the way Mason was staring at him, he could guess he loved the work.
“Do you think this is child’s play?” Mason suddenly asked him.
“Excuse me?” Felix looked confused.
“What are these you showed me?” He asked afterwards.
“Designs sir, they are really good, don’t tell me you don’t actually like it” Felix looked surprised.
“Sorry but if you want to work for D•S then you would need to show us better than this sham. The exit is that way” Mason closed the sketchbook and passed it back to him.
“No way Mr Mason, I don’t think you’re seeing all the details, have you seen this one?” Felix opened another page and dried, forcing it on Mason’s eyes.
“Mr Felix Newman, please open the door” Sunny who had been standing behind them forced a smile at him.
“Please just one minute, you can’t kick me out, let me show you another..”
“It’s either you leave or the security will escort you out, a warning, they are not nice” Mason said with a blank face.
Felix was still reluctant to leave and Mason took his telephone.
“Fine I will leave but you just threw a gem away and you would regret it! All of you!” He glared at them before taking his sketchbook and storming off.
Skyler was sitting somewhere and waiting but seeing him storming out with an angry face made her smile.
“So what happened? You couldn’t do your designs without me?” She smirked at him.
“Actually we are not getting accepted, I stole your past work and it got rejected which means whatever you have there with you will also get rejected” he sounded so sure.
Sunny came out.
“Skyler Wang?” She called and Skyler stood up with a smile.
“Here” she raised her hands and began moving forward but stopped after a few steps.
“I was foolish in the past but not anymore, I’ve wised up now and I know the difference between A and B” she added before resuming her steps back to the office.

“Look at my skin, super glowing isn’t it?” Edna smiled and rubbed her face in front of the camera.
“I bet many of you are still wondering what the secret to this flawless skin, well I’ve told you before and I’m telling to again, shop @reylond•com to enjoy this glowing skin with me” she smiled and raised a body lotion up.
“And cut!” The director said and the cameras stopped shooting her.
“Zita, how do I look on screen?” Edna proudly asked the moment she stood up.
“One word, stunning” Zita blew a kiss and walked up to her.
“I know, just wanted you to hear you say that” she rolled her eyes and Zita chuckled.
Her phone began ringing and she checked the ID, her eyes brightened up immediately as she picked. They said some things before she hung up.
“Zita, let’s go to the airport, a friend of mine is waiting” she smiled widely before running off.
Zita rolled his eyes and ran after her.

D•S STYLES★
About twenty people including Skyler and Cynthia from earlier were the ones who got picked to attend the competition for the upcoming fashion designers.
They were all sitting on the reception outside when Sunny walked up to them with a smile plastered on her face.
“Congratulations everyone for being part of the completion. The class starts tomorrow at 7pm sharp and everyone will be given their ID cards, the rules and regulations will be given to you tomorrow, you’re all dismissed” Sunny announced and walked away.
Everyone began standing up and leaving. Skyler was about to leave when her phone beeped.
Mason: Do you want to stay behind?
Skyler began replying: Where do I stay?
Mason: Come to my office.
Skyler: if someone sees us?
Mason: Don’t worry about Alvin and I will make sure Sunny won’t step foot in today.
Skyler smirked: Okay I will come if you tell me that you miss me and you want to see my face.
Mason: If you come I will tell you face to face.
