Abigail pov contd.


    I hid myself behind the curtains. As a prouddy, I was sure she would not wait and check the curtains or other areas. I heard her footstepsing closer and then leaving farther away. I took a breath of relief. If she would have caught me, she would have thought that i was trying to spy on them or envious of their rtionship.


    Once I was sure she was far away, I walked to Be''s chamber. Knocking on the door, I entered. She was still eating the snacks her mother bought for her.


    Her eyes twinkled looking at me as she smiled brightly.


    "Abi, i was just thinking about you.'''' She ran towards me and held my hand.


    "I thought you would not have the time toe and meet me, since you have only a few hours break then you have to return to the royal pce. And you have a lot of work to do at that time.`` She walked me to the sofa and made me sit there. Then she passed me the te of pie.


    "Try this, mother has especially made it herself. You know mother cooks delicious food." her eyes were sparkling so much that for a moment i felt inferior to her there.


    Was there anyone who cared about me so much?! Father and Nick are always busy and posted far away.


    "So, how is it?" the piece just stuck in my mouth with the lump forming in my throat. I somehow gulped it and smiled.


    "It is perfect. I have never eaten pie better than this.`` I lied, as I did not even feel the taste of the pie due to the surging of emotions.


    I have surely be a cry baby as I have be young again.


    "You can take it all if you want. I will ask my mother to cook for me again." she shoved the te in my hands with a bright smile. I wanted to deny the love, the pie was for her, not for me. But I did not have the heart to deny it when she was looking at me with those bright eyes.


    "Thank you, Be. I.. i was here to ask do you want toe with me to see the dresses that are going to be worn with the jewels you have designed.`` she frowned as she listened to my words.


    "Abi, aren''t jewels disyed in the mirror showcases. Why do we need dresses for that?" I smirked at her words.


    "Because we are going to have a fashion show for your jewels." she blinked as she did not understand what i was saying. How would she! There was nothing like a fashion show in this world. They have no idea of how the fashion industry works.


    Selling and buying a monotonous set of clothes and jewels! I would bring change in the industry.


    "Beautiful young women would wear luxurious dresses in contrast to the jewelry sets and then walk and perform a dance show. So, nobles could see the luster of jewels and dresses and buy it." i exined to her in simple words but it only increased her frown.


    "But from where did you find so many girls and prepare a program in a day. Weren''t you going to showcase the jewels on Sunday only?" I nodded, it was in my mind too.


    "I have asked Amayra to find dancers that are habitual of performing on the stage. All I need is a few musicians and then the clothes should be fitting to them.


    Therefore I am going there to check everything personally. And then me and Amayra will sit and write the invitation letters to all the nobles and richmoners."


    "Oh, that means it will take almost the whole day. Should we not include more friends so that we can manage it better and get more ideas." she asked, i nodded and i sighed.


    "But as you talked about war conditions. Brother and Noah both did not return. So, I do not have anyone except you." her gaze softened and she hugged me.


    "We can take Oliver with us, since he already knows about everything. He had helped us in making jewels too.`` I could see that she had immense trust in that boy with golden eyes.


    I wonder if her heart would break if she knew that Oliver is not like he looked. But I could be wrong too. So I decided to stay silent for the meantime. And keeping him close would be better since I would be able to keep an eye on him.


    "Sure, bring him too. We will leave in half an hour." I replied and she nodded with a smile.


    "Then I send a message to him and change my dress too." She stood up hastily when I held her hand.


    "Are you sure, you do not have any other ns? I mean it is your first holiday. Maybe you want to go out or take a rest or have a n with your mother.`` I hinted at her as she was forgetting that her mother had asked her to go to the market with her.


    "It is fine. This is more important. After all, tomorrow I will know if I am good enough to make jewels! I want to help in everything that will increase the sale of jewels. So, I am doing this for myself, not for you." she added, shaking her head. She walked to her table and wrote a note and passed it to her maid in attendance.


    "Pass this note to Oliver and ask him to meet us near the carriage in twenty minutes."


    "Yes, mydy." The maid bowed and left and I sighed. The young chirpy girl is growing day by day and I still did not know how to handle her. I could only pray that her mother would not me me for this too.


    "I will see you near the carriage too." she gently shook my sleeves as she told that and i nodded and left her room.
