I ran my hands thru my long wavy hair before dragging them down my face. I was super stressed as I sat at my desk in my office looking over complaints my business has received.
"I thought I was doing everything right" I mumbled to myself.
I own my own business. I run a clothing line. I make my own clothes also. But I always make sure to purchase the best fabric, but according to these complaints my clothes feel cheap, and people feel like they getting played out their money
To take my mind off the bad reviews I decided to make some new outfits to put in my store maybe switch the way my reviews are looking right now.
I grabbed my sketchbook and pencil and went and sat on the plush pink sofa next to the window that gave me a good view of the city below. That's sometimes how I would get my ideas on new clothing pieces. I would watch people walk by and if I found some thing on them interesting I would incorporate it into an outfit, or I would mix peoples outfits together to make a cute shirt or a whole set.
Just as I sat down and got comfy my personal assistant burst into my office frantically.
"Sorry to disturb you miss, but I just got a call from your children's school and they said your children need to be picked up because the school can't hold them anymore" she said
I looked down at my watch and checked the time. "Oh shit they got out 3 hours ago!" I yelled before putting my shoes on, grabbing my purse and dashing out my office.
I ran out the office to my car. I was so caught up with work I forgot about my kids! I backed out of the parking lot and sped to my kids school
When I got there I didn't even bother to lock the doors I just jumped out and ran to the schools office. "I'm here, I'm so sorry I was late I was to busy working, where are my kids!" I said frantically
"Um, hi ma'am are you the parent of Lorenzo and Semaj" a short white lady with strawberry blonde hair and freckles said to me
"Yea I am, where are my kids I'm here to get them" I said
"Well they were just picked up about 10 minutes ago by a person on their emergency contact list, we called him cuz we couldn't reach you" she said
My heart started pounding out of my chest. "His name is Keith Powers" she said. That name stung my heart like a bee. Without a word I turned around and fled out the office back to my car. I forgot I put him on the emergency contact list.
