“So you’re really just going to let it happen?” Nora said with a snort.
I shrugged helplessly, knowing nothing I said would make her look at me in a positive light, probably.
“It is her life, so it’s not like I can stop her. She’s absolutely sure she knows what she’s doing, or so she says. So, I wanted to show her some support, as her brother.
I don’t want it to break my family apart. My office is near here and she’s been trying to get ahold of the store to make her appointment, but their lines always seem to be busy.”
“I am so sorry about that, sir.”
A new voice entered the conversation, and I turned to see the first attendant had come with someone.
“Sorry about what?” I asked, turning to the two women. “It’s only an unfortunate coincidence, isn’t it?”
The second attendant let out a light cough, her expression looking awkward.
“My name is Isabell, if you could please come with me, I’ll explain everything and we can deal with your appointment.” Then, she turned to Nora and Brooklyn. “Ladies, sorry to disturb you. Clara here will continue to help you.”
I walked away with Isabell, turning once to see Clara leading Nora and Brooklyn away, probably to change into another wedding dress. I forced myself to look away, my feet feeling heavier the further from her I moved. Thankfully, we didn’t go so far that they would be out of sight if they came back out again. It would only be hurting myself to see, but I couldn’t help that either.
Six years ago, I had genuinely loved Brooklyn. Six years later, and that hadn't changed.
“So, Isabell,” I started. “Can you explain to me what the problem is?”
The awkward expression on her face told me the situation wasn’t normal. I’d thought the same, and just figured Maria said it as an excuse so I could do this for her. She claimed not to have the time to do it herself, but I knew she was out with her boyfriend doing who knew what, so she talked me into doing this for her.
It turned out, there was actually a problem with the store.
“The issue about the cell lines, they’re not busy.”
I frowned. “Then what exactly is the situation? Because my sister complained she’s been trying to make a call for an appointment for a few weeks.”
She ducked her head. There was a tablet held in her hands, and her hands tightened on the device.
“On this issue, I am very sorry. The issue is actually with our cell lines, they’re currently not working. We’re still in the process of getting them fixed, and we only realized the problem when walk in clients walked in and let us know this week. We hope this inconvenience won’t make you change your mind about working with us.”
I put my hands in my pocket, only mildly interested in this whole thing.
“The issue wasn’t your fault. And my sister is set on working with you, so it’s not a problem. But please, have them fixed or give me a number that does work in case my sister needs something.”
“I’ll handle that right away,” Isabell said, raising her head and lifting thee tablet up. “As for the appointment, I can handle that now. Can you let me know whatever time your sister would find it appropriate?”
I wasn’t really sure myself, so I took out my cell and texted Maria. We communicated like that, with Isabell asking for details and me getting Maria to give me the information. Brooklyn went through three other dresses by the time we were done.
“Please thank your sister for choosing to work with us, and we look forward to seeing her.”
With a nod of her head, she walked off.
Now that I was free, I could pay my full attention to Brooklyn and Nora. They must have finished trying on dresses, because they were just standing around talking to the assistant. Technically, my job here was done, but I didn’t think I could just leave. Even if there might not be hope for us after all these years, I was incapable of giving up without
a fight.
I hesitated until the attendant left them, then I approach.
“Are you ladies ready to leave?”
Nora sneered, but Brooklyn caught her arm and she settled down, stepping back with a pout. Brooklyn looked up at me with a calm smile.
“Did you sort out all your problems, already?”
