AUBREE’S POV
The ‘So In Love’ campaign was a success.
Most of the influential couple here and abroad inquires about the Inarez Couple Bag.
Unlike the other brands, we will only produce one pair of bag in every design that we will release. The bag designs were also limited, it will only be good for 10 couples. That is why we were very careful in choosing the eligible couple.
Seb also want us to have the said couple bag. But I already told him that it will be very impossible for us to be chosen because we’re not yet married, and my profile will not pass the screening for the approved couple of Inarez Bag.
This is my last day in IGC.
I will surely miss working here. This is my long time dream before, to have my own office.
I will also miss my team. I think this is everybody’a goal, to empower and lead people.
I will also miss every employee in IGC, from the guards, receptionist, hr, accounting and of course the big bosses. I can’t say anything to them but pure admiration.
Mrs. Inarez always tell me that the real secret of their company’s success is the people working for them. If it weren’t for this people, she’ll doubt that they will succeed. And I totally agree with her.
I’m also so thankful with Mr. and Mrs. Inarez because of the trust that they have given me. Even before when they were still my client they already trust my capability. Also for accepting me for Gavin and even now that I am no longer with their son.
And last but definitely not the least, Gavin. I didn’t expect that because of the unplanned deal, I will be this close to him to the point that I will fall in love with him.
The only consolation I got is that, I will still work for Inarez as their model. And I don’t have any plan to change my agency.
****
After my last day at Inarez, aunt Laura allowed me to take a vacation first.
So I thought of staying to my parents for the mean time.
A lot of things happened. And all I want right now is to breathe.
Because of the things that happened between me and Seb before, I wanted so hard to succeed so that his parents can finally accept me.
But I did not notice that while I was busy getting approval from someone else’s parents, I didn’t notice that I became aloof to my own family.
I forgot that I also have my own parents.
“Are you okay Aubree?” My mom asked.
I look at my mom and I could see worries in her eyes.
I shook my head.
“I’m not okay mom. It hurts so much.” I said while crying.
My mom immediately went to me and hug me tight.
“Maybe this is my karma because I became a bad daughter.” I said.
My mom shakes her head. She held my face to face her.
“That is not true Aubree. We are so proud of all the things that you have achieved. Never think that you were a bad daughter because you are not.” My mom said to comfort me.
I shake my head. “No mom. I am became a bad daughter to you and dad. I did all this not because of you but because of someone else’s parents. Because I want them to accept me.”
“I want them so much to accept me that is why I neglected you and dad. Mom I’m sorry. I’m really really sorry.” I can’t stop my self to say sorry to my mom.
I knew that I have wronged them. I neglected them.
“You don’t need to apologize to us. We understand where you coming from. And look at where that desire lead you? Look at all your achievements.”
“Achieved a lot of heartaches you mean mom?” I joked.
My mom chuckled. “Silly girl. Why are you always so pessimistic? Why can’t you also see the positive side of the situation? Like your career, who would have thought that you will become a model? And we were able to see you face on the billboards?”
I smiled at my mom’s statement.
“Why don’t you start to focus on yourself first? Stop thinking about other people.” My mom suggested.
I frowned. “What do you mean mom?”
“What I mean is, why don’t you start doing things for yourself now? Stop thinking other people’s opinion nor approval.” My mom explained.
I released a sighed. “Mom I have already been selfish all my life. That is why I hurt a lot of people because I only think about my self.”
My mom shook her head. “No Bree. All this time you do things to please others and not your self. This time do what makes you happy. Stop thinking about your love life first.”
I laughed at my mom’s statement but I understand her point.
I nodded and smile at her: “Yes mom. Thank you and I love you!”
I hug my mom real tight. “I love you too baby.”
“Power hug! Let me also join!” my dad butt in.
We laughed at him.
My dad also joined our power hug.
There’s no place like home.
