I was doing my job taking Julia's measurements diligently when I thought I need to make small talk to know why she was being so obedient.
"Don't worry Julia. Even with this little time I am sure to make you the most beautiful gown a bride can wear." I said. "I will make you the most beautiful woman on your wedding day to 'Brad'." I emphasized a little bit in the name.
I feel Julia stir a bit while taking her measurements. I smirked internally.
"I am sure you will be happy marrying him. I didn't know you were in a relationship. Why did you hide it?" I asked. "Looking at it Brad is a good looking man. And also he is the heir to the Collin company. He is a perfect match for you Julia. I'm happy for you." I smiled happily.
"You..." Julia snapped in anger.
"Julia!" Victoria shouted at her. Julia wasn't able to finish what she was about to say and began to calm down and became silent.
"I'm sorry for that Queenie. Please continue." Victoria gestured her hand for me to continue taking Julia's measurements.
After taking Julia's measurements we were preparing to depart. Victoria walked us to the door.
"Queenie I'm sorry if all the preparations were given to you." Victoria apologized. "I can't leave Julia here all alone. I'm afraid that she would do something stupid."
'What, like kill herself.' I thought.
"It's okay Victoria. Daddy gave me this task so I am certain to do this perfectly. And also Julia is my stepsister. I want to make her wedding day perfect." I give her a fake smile.
"Thank you." Victoria said.
Andrea and I entered the car and drove away.
"Somethings odd." I said.
"What do you mean?" Andrea asked.
"Don't you think Julia is being rather obedient?" I said curiously. "I was expecting she would fight until the day of her wedding."
"Maybe she just accepted that even what she does your father's words are final." Andrea said.
"No. I know Julia. If she wants something she will fight for it till the end. I know she wants to stop this wedding at all cost. But now she's being so submissive." I said.
I can feel something is not right but can't seem to feel what.
"Well anyway, when we return to the house I'll be starting to work on the gown. I'll surely be in my studio for quite a while." I said. "Please call my team so they can help me in making the gown."
"Sure thing." Andrea said and got her phone to make calls.
I look outside the window. Trees where lined up besides the road. Here in the outskirts of the city lies big and tall trees. The forest here is so big.
I look at them while passing. I still can't figure out Julia's reaction back there. She was being so obedient. I feel something is not right. 'I'm having a bad feeling.' I thought to myself.
