Chapter 19.

"Aurora Kings, we did it!"

And I sat down on the bed, my sleep formally ruined with my assistants screaming over the phone.

I managed to sit up while rubbing my eye to get rid of the sleep. "Emily Smith, have you looked at the

time, it's 2 AM. What was so important that you couldn't wait till the morning? Or at least for a civilised

hour, two in the morning! Girl, you ruined my beauty sleep." I muttered in anger as I stood up and went

to the mirror checking if I had any baggage under my eyes.

Yup! I take my beauty really seriously.

"To hell with your beauty sleep Aurora, You will scream louder than me when I tell you what exactly

happenedy

I rolled my eyes, she was talking as if we got selected in my Miss Worlds. beauty pageant.

"What happened Emily?" I asked.

"My dear Aurora kings, We got selected for the world’s biggest jewellery show. Oh My God, I can’t

believe our designer house got such a big opportunity."

I frowned. "What! But how is that possible Em! We never participated in any show?"

"Well," she cleared her throat and took a dramatic pause before speaking again. "It was me who sent

your designs to them, as your last design was unique in itself. And I thought why not give it a try."

"Seriously, you did it, without asking me?" I was shocked. How could she do that!

"I know I should’ve asked you, but at that time, we were running short of time, so I sent it urgently and

forgot to ask you. Please don’t be angry Aurora, and see we got such a unique opportunity, isn’t it?"Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

She said, When I remained silent she started speaking again.

"Please don't be like this, Aurora. It's a great opportunity for us. Many big Jewelry designers crave to

be in this show but we got this opportunity. Can you believe it? You know, in excitement, I’m still

pinching my arm as I think it’s a dream in which all these things are possible. Damn! I can’t believe luck

has done such a huge favour. If we win this show, our Jewellery house will be recognised just like

Tiffany and many renowned and well-known personalities of the world will get associated with us."

"Just imagine, our dream of having our own brand will come true if we win this show. We would do it on

our own, Aurora, you will do it on your own."

I didn't know what to feel. I was nervous, excited, happy and everything. A shiver ran down my body

imagining Emily's excitement. I wanted to believe it but couldn't. There was an nth number of emotions

running in my mind right now.

"Oh Aurora, If we win this show we could be the next, Belle or Tiffany's…"

My heart was beating so fast that it took me a minute to calm myself and control my emotions. "Emily,

tell me everything now!" I ordered her.

"Okay, so we were the final contestants of this contest. There are almost 19 more contestants. There

will be some jewellery shows in every round based on the themes given by the judges and you will cry

happy tears hearing the name of the judges of the show."

"Who are the judges?" I asked, her excited smile rubbing on me now.

"The names include Rawls, you know that famous designer from The Belle…"

I was astounded. "Rawls…" I whispered. That man was one of the most celebrated designers in North

America. He worked with The Belle, one of the most popular jewellery designers here in the USA. And

everyone knows how strict he is about his work. I still remember the day when I first went to meet him

with my designs after dad called him. There he told me that he couldn't accept me as an intern

because my designs were not fresh. Since then, I have worked day and night to bring out the rawness

in my designs.

I went numb for a moment hearing his name. Do I even stand a chance in this competition, a feeling of

self-doubt immersed inside me? I bit my lip in anticipation but then Gabe's words came to my mind

over me having no identity of my own. His words hurt me fiercely when he suggested that I would be

depending on him after marriage and offered me a job as a dishwasher in his restaurant. The feeling of

self-doubt was still there but another feeling enthralled inside me.

The feeling of self-respect. Yes, my dad treated me and still treats me like a princess but I have an

identity of my own and after marriage, I would not be depending on him.

I can earn my own money and I will prove it to everyone.

"Hello...Aurora, are you listening to me or not!!"

I shook my head coming out of my thoughts. "Yes, I am listening. Tell me about the details."

"Alright, so listen to me carefully now. We have to go to Vancouver for two months as the competition

will be held there. If you accept the contest rules then you can't come back to Boston before two

months due to the copyright issues over the designs. The sponsor of the show could ask you to work

for him and according to the rules you can't deny that…"

I was listening to everything carefully. The details, the rules and everything she told me. "Emily, what if I

don't want to work with the sponsor…"

"Well! That's the point, Aurora, you can't deny and it's not like they won't pay you and trust me girl it's a

big opportunity if you get to work with the sponsors. They will pay you handsomely for your designs and

most importantly you will get experience to work with one of the most precious Jewellery brands in the

world. You could get an opportunity to work with Rawl itself."

I was excited and anxious at the same time. Cupping My chin between my thumb and fingers, I thought

about all the pros and cons of accepting this show's rules.

"Oh come on Aurora, what are you thinking about? It's once in a lifetime opportunity, grab it. Trust me

on this girl, I am your agent and I have gone through all the details of this contest's contract. It's only

about two months." She tried to persuade me.

I sighed, lowering my hand. "But Two months in Vancouver, without Gabe…"
