-Eleonora-

Almost a month had passed since Italy, but the magazines seemed to think it was still fresh news.

"Romatic hideaway! Now the best places to have a romantic trip in Italy" Miles teased when I reached the reception

"Another one?" I commented tiredly while taking a sip of my latte

"You're the couple of the season what do you expect?" he said handing me the magazine

"I hate this picture, I had just woken up from the flight" I commented looking at the front cover. This photo was taken right after we arrived Italy, we were getting out of the private jet.

"You still look good" he commented while applying lipstick "oh by the way... Crazy Sarah called again" ah yes Sarah... Sarah wanted to be best of friends with me, it appears she has been calling non stop to Miles so she could reach me, she also appeared at home which i said to the lobby guys say I was out. So Miles took the freedom to call her crazy Sarah since she has been so obsessed in wanting to see me. "She wants you to be maid of honor"

"I told her no already"

"She says she would like you to come to the dress fitting" Miles informed me

"I have talked with that women for 10 minutes in my whole life what is that obsession of hers?" I question making Miles shrug his shoulders

"Maybe she is a sicko that wants your husband"

"She is going to marry his brother I don't think that's the problem" I let out

"Is he as hot as your husband?" he questioned with a smirk

"Thrutfully... Not even close" I said

"She is jelly" He said making me laugh "or maybe she is just really sticky and wants a good sister in law"

"Yeah not happening" I said taking the magazine with me

"You need to be good for people" Miles joked while I walked to my office.

I entered my office slowly closing the door behind when I see a figure standing in front of me making my heart give a loop-de-loop and almost killing me right there!

"What the hell Connor?" I shouted taking a hand to my heart trying to normalize the rhythm again

"I'm sorry Mrs.Maxwell! I though you were already in. It's 9" he said plainly, I swear he looks like a machine created by Blaze. He comes here enters my own office without saying and still manages to say I'm late by five minutes.

"I wasn't. What do you want Connor?"

"Mr.Maxwell as proposed a job to you"

"I don't want it" I smiled taking my magazine and placing it over the secretary.

"He says you'd want it" I raised my eyebrows at his words. What made Blaze think that he knows what I want.

"What is it?"

"Mrs.Borris." he said getting close putting a some papers over my desk. Oh look another biography... "She has a business of bags, her new edition launches today and she doesn't know what to dress"

"Are you kidding me?" he got to be joking, I work in marketing I am not her fashion stylist or her manager

"No. Mrs.Borris has a special relationship with Mr.Maxwell. She, herself wanted you to go with her shopping"

"She wants to know me?" I asked making Connor nod "Why?"

"I guess she wants to see if your a good wife"

"I am not, you could've just say that and save her time and mine" I respond

"I suppose Blaze was also in this but somehow he escaped" I said looking at Connor

He nodded " Mr.Maxwell had a very important deal with a Jewelry company" I rolled my eyes, and my phone buzzed two times.

Jackass
Come to my office.
With my assistant.

"Of course, he had " I took a deep breath and got up taking the latte with me "What happens if for some reason Mr.Borris doesn't like me?"

"I recommend you to not do it Mrs.Maxwell! Mr.Borris is a fan of Mr.Maxwell if she doesn't like you she will surely make your image to the press very blurred and criticised"

"Do you think I prefer this?" I questioned giving him the magazine. I walked trough the hallway where Miles and Jennifer were

"Hey boss" Jennifer greeted seeing me.

"You're so late that Blaze's assistant is doing his job and yours"

"Really?" she asked scared

"No! He just came here to slowly make my life worst" I smiled in sarcasm

"Jenni-jennifer" Connor greeted gagging

"Connor" she gave a fake smile greeting him back... Weird. Jennifer didn't spoke about Connor anymore after two weeks she was kind of interested but after it she never came up with his name again. He wasn't a five star man, but he was pretty handsome and for Jennifer that was enough. Something weird happened between those two and I definitely want to find out.

"Are you coming Connor?" I asked looking at weird tension between them

"Yes" he said quickly walking to the elevator near me while adjusting his glasses.

We reached the top floor, and I got not before being greeted by the high pitched voice of Lisa "Good Morning Miss. Elonora" ah yes she had took the chance to treat me more formally by Eleonora and not Mrs.Maxwell. It didn't bothered me very much, only her consistent tries to lunch with me, Miles and Jennifer...she sort of has a crush on Miles. He is an handsome man but doesn't play for her team.

"Hi Lisa" I smiled back

"How are you Miss? I haven't seen you since last week."

"I am fine. Just like last week" I responded, waking away with Connor

Connor sat down at his desk and I walked inside Blaze's office

"Knock!" Was the first word he exclaimed when I got in

"I dont really do that. I thought you would know by now" I responded "What do you want?"

"Mrs. Borris wants to know you" he stated looking at me

"I know. Connor said"

"She's waiting downstairs fot you to take her to a cafe and then shopping" he said while looking at his computer

"What is she? Your grandmother? Cause not even your mother wanted to know me so bad." I stated " I mean she did the whole lunch thing but that really wasn't a great effort because it ended up really bad and she kinda knew that would happened" I murmured to myself

" Mrs.Borris is a very nice old lady. She treats me like a grandson"

"Congratulations to you "

"If you fail this she is very likely to ruin your image to the world" he advised, who the hell was this woman?!

"That should bother me?"

"Yes, I can't be married with someone who is not accepted by the media...it was in our contract" he stated while roaming through his papers. I looked around at the boring blue and grey office. Oh candies, I never noticed these, they were in the center table near the crystal whiskey bottle

"Will you divorce me because of this woman?" I asked hot getting his point

"Well... Let's hope everything goes well. I don't want to give up on your father's company"

I nodded sitting down on the couch looking at the candies "That would be so sad" I said sarcastically

"She has been telling me she wanted to meet you for a while...she will make your questions, and will test you on different matters, try to do your best "

"I won't need it, she will love me. Everybody does" I shrugged my shoulders while stretching my hand to take a candy.

I heard him snort at my words "If she tolerates you that's a win"

"As if"

"Don't touch the candies " he demanded, I closed my hand catching his gaze

"If she loves me you have to eat my pancakes at breakfast for a whole week " I dared

He laughed in response "Fine, that will never happen. If you lose, you have to drink the green juice I drink"

Just the thought of the juice made me gag "No way- I'm not drinking that, it's built of vegetables and weird proteins, and it smells awful" I informed

"Are you afraid?" he asked I rolled my eyes getting up.

"She will love me" I stated getting out of the office. I declare war Mrs.Borris! You will love me

- - -

I met Mrs. Boris downstairs she wasn't very pleased to see me honestly, her face was always meh. I wondered if she had any expressions at all, the amount of wrinkles she had made her face longer and maybe she couldn't portrait any emotions any more with weight of her fallen skin.

I'm being mean? No, I'm not. I'm being very nice actually... This women she is the devil in person.

"Are you listening to me?" she asked in her cranky voice

"I am Mrs. Agatha" I lied making her quickly slap my head "ow"

"Don't lie to me"

We were now at a Boutique, a Boutique from the 20's, it looked like I entered a time machine but a rusty one. The mold was making my nose itch and the dampness on the walls was making me squeeze into the couch the smallest I could.

I don't know what she wanted from here, in fact I actually do. A dress and a matching hat, turns out Mrs.Boris here liked to the dress like the Queen Elizabeth. The difference is, Queen Elizabeth has style and knows how to combine colors and patterns Mrs.Agatha thinks a leopard coat with a crocodile bag matches perfectly. 

Blaze was not kidding when he said she was a hard person, she treats me like her servant everywhere we went she calls me a lot of funny names like girl, bimbo, gold digger and my personal favorite moll, which was a way of politely calling me a whore, she also makes me her personal coat hanger and bag hanger after insulating me. Not to mention she made me pay for everything she bought, she didn't come up with a bad or good excuse like Jenny does 'forgot my wallet' or 'i will pay you back' ... No, no she simply said 'C'mon do something and pay, that's what you're here for'.

She's wasting my time, my money, my patience and the last bit of sanity I have left. And I do need a lot of the last two because I am not getting alive from my marriage with Blaze if I don't have patience and sanity.

"Is this good?" she asked while pointing at a zebra dress

"I guess"

"Be polite you bimbo" the woman spat, I rolled my eyes in annoyance trying to keep my cool

"Which one?" she asked pointing at the two dresses that two assistants held for her, the big decision was between a leopard dress and a shinning yellow one bathed in emeralds. They are both horrible, it's like I can't find any positive factor in neither it's awfully and sad. This is a known woman from a known bag brand, she was popular and famous, this woman was a celebrity and she walked around in zebra dresses.

And not the ones you say 'Hm cute, I wouldn't, but it's cute' it's those that make you say... Well, nothing just makes you take your eyeballs out no words are needed.

"Girl, I'm talking to you. Didn't teach you proper manners? Which one?" she asked

"Honestly" I said taking a deep breath "none they are both awful!"

"Look here!" she stood up and demanded the employees walk away with her walking stick "Blaze is a pure boy!" she exclaimed making me snort, what Blaze was she talking about?

Thump.

Waking me up from my thoughts the woman tapped the walking stick on the floor, her look fierce like she was ready to eat me alive.

"I don't allow any kind of disrespect to that boy! He is wonderful and the most prettist of souls walking around this world, and if you dare to hurt him, to ridicullarize him. I will not hesitate in destroying every bit of your life." she threatened "You are despicable, why did he marry you? You are nothing but his escort!"

She spat I aggressively stood up, not taking anymore of this bullshit. I have things to do, places to be, but instead I am being willingly insulted by an old woman. Hell no!

"That's it! I am done!" I exclaimed placing all of the bags on the floor

"What do you think you're doing?"

"Walking away... Which I should've done a long time ago" I said

"You got mad for me saying you were his escort? Grow up!"

"Ok listen here you thesaurus! I am married to that man whether you like it or not, it doesn't bother me at all, because on the end I will continue being married to him. You can treat me bad, you can call me names but this ring" I said showing her my hand "will not leave, even if he wants. I came here because my husband asked me too, but I do not in any circumstances will stand here willingly being bad-mouthed for some fricking old bat like you or anyone for that matter! If you try to put me down, go ahead, but I will gladly do the same to you! So I will politely get out of here!" I let out angrily looking at her widened eyes and shocked face "You should go for blue it enhances your eyes! And stop matching animals' skins it's hideous and psychopathic"

I grabbed my wallet and walked home leaving the elder woman with her bodyguards and employed and dresses there.

I didn't know I was that far away from home, it took me about two hours to reach home. It was already late, Dorothy had probably left and I had to heat the food.

I arrived to a dark home, I placed my bag on the little table near the coat hanger alongside my coat. I took my shoes effortlessly leaving them on the floor and walking to the kitchen. I opened the fridge to meet rice, pasta, and some steaks. I took out the boxes and prepared my dinner.

"Shouldn't you be with Mrs.Boris at her edition premiere launching?"I heard Blaze say from the living room scaring me

"Don't know how to announce your presence in the room? Or do you just like to scare me?" I questioned

"Yes and yes" he said getting up

"Before you say anything. You won. Also if she tries anything around the media I will fireback" I warned

"As much as I hate to admit... I don't think I won" he said turning on the Tv. I putted down the food and watched carefully the news. Agatha Boris was wearing a beautiful blue dress on her premiere laughing edition with matching glasses her hair tighten up and a beautiful and subtle make up.

"You always wear patterned dresses for this events. What made you change Mrs.Borris?" I heard the interviewer ask.

"A very beautiful woman with lion claws, a good sense of humor, and lot of live to give. She reminds me of myself when I was young. She was the one that told me the ugly truth me, faced me with no fears and spoke to me 'Blue enhances your eyes'" she said smiling to the camera

I smiled back at the TV "I told you everyone loved me"

"Yeah yeah" he mumbled walking to thehis office
