Amara didn't overthink her decision. She had refused the appointment because she didn't want to do another piece for that client.
Simple.
Xavier Dracarys' life was too tangled, too complicated, and Amara had no interest in having her threads caught in it.
She had already sewn his wedding suit. She had already worked on his fiancée's dress. That was enough. More than enough.
To her it felt as if Everytime she got involved with him either in person or in business it always seems to bring trouble or an unsettling situation.
'Like how she saw Lilian in that alley a few weeks back, and how the thought till lingered in her mind, not knowing what to do with it."
She just didn't want to be involved.
In his business especially now that it's now connected to his company.
"To Her."
Clients came and went. They brought their fabrics, their deadlines, their details, and when the work was finished, they left.
That was how she preferred it.
Xavier had come to her shop himself to push, to negotiate, to convince. And fine—she agreed to take the project.
Just because he said she was perfect for the job, and if there is one thing she likes it's to take challenges.
"It keeps her entertained in this boring life of hers."
"But to her."
It didn't change anything.
She would do the work. She would finish it. And then she would move on.
"And pray that this should be the last piece of clothing he requires from her."
Then she will finally be done with him.
No threads tangled.
No stories woven.
In the complicated life of his.
Exactly the way she wanted it.
Gathering her thoughts she went back to work, wandering when the preferences of the clothing she is to design will be brought.
"The sooner the better, she thought."
