Miguel was very disturbed by this girl, from the day he saw her again. She became a real obsession for him, he even put her picture on his computer screen. He felt that she is the woman of his life, it's impossible why she obsesses him so much?

*Why do you obsess me so much Molly?

He wondered how to get her out of his head since the young woman was asking him to leave her alone. Now that he's sure she wasn't Pet's mistress but his girlfriend, he felt relieved. Molly didn't look like a woman who would be a man's mistress. He dreamed of having her in his life, for his wife, they were a united family with many children.

Miguel's secretary came to take him out of his daydreams.

_ Mr Miguel your meeting will start soon.

_ Okay Thank you Youde.

Miguel left his computer open on his desk, then he got out and walked to the meeting room, closing the door behind him.

Judith his partner and friend was already starting the meeting.

_ We are used to organizing parades but this one will be better and will require much more time and effort than the others. We all have to focus on putting in a lot more effort because the success of this show is about all of us. I thought of an ideal place for this parade, we will organize this parade this time in Paris, me and Miguel have been working for so long on this project, we have finally found the best place. We will organize it at the Théâtre de la Tour Eiffel in Paris.

The models gave cries of joy, some of them will go to Paris for the first time thanks to this parade.

_ Oh wow that's so cute.

_ You already know why organize a fashion show? This is an opportunity to showcase a designer's new collection. Since me and Sua have finished with our creations so we will put them in sight. This parade will bring us a lot of money, I have already sent hundreds of invitations to our usual buyers, on the company's website people are already looking forward to this moment when they see the publication. To participate, sometimes I could no longer receive messages, because I was asked questions about the parade.

What is the purpose of this parade?

* We have several objectives for this fashion show: 1) to make our brand known to the whole world.

2)Present our new collection.

3) Create more contact and earn more money.

I don't know if you have any questions before I give way to my associate.

One of the girls raised her hand.

_Yes .

_Are all the models going to this show?

_Of course yes, you all have an extraordinary talent. You are all selected for this parade.

_ Will Nouille be there?

_No, her accident is serious, she may not be able to parade anymore according to what the doctor tells me.

_Oh no, Nouille loves modeling so much, I feel bad for her. What would she do to survive? It was his only way out.

_Well we leave all that behind us, now we think about our parade. Get ready okay and I two more effort on your side.

All right .

The girl wondered how this woman could remain indifferent to Nouille's fate. She was one of the best models. She now sees that Her mother was right, she always used to her that people need you when things are going well, when you can do them a favor.

Judith turned to Michael.

_ I am going to follow up on the project we have in progress: I am going to tell you about the number of people we are going to receive at least five hundred people. Customers, buyers, celebrities, influencers and stores.

* This parade will be organized on the weekend on 01/05/2021, in the afternoon around five o'clock.

* The place contains enough space for the models, the outfits, the hairdresser, the stylist, the make-up and the choreographer.

* The choice of models is on the responsibility of Judith, she is a woman she knows more about them than me.

*We have already managed the staging of the collection:

-Makeup

-Hairdressing

-Stylist

-Fitting

-Accessorist

- Musical group

-Music

-Photographer

-And finally the animator.

_It's the end I don't know what you think.

_ It's a good idea Miguel and I'm sure everything would be so cool there. The meeting is over, I'm going to call the models to let them know about this show, especially Molly Alisier, the girl who replaced Nouille.

Alright, back to my office.

Judith looked at Miguel leaving, he's been doing the same thing for a long time after each meeting.

Judith always had a soft spot for Miguel but she always refrained from telling him, which is why she immediately accepted when Miguel presented her with the idea of ​​setting up this business together. Reason to always be close to him, even if she knows that Miguel considers her as a sister and a best friend but Judith hoped that Miguel sees her as a woman one day.

Judith went to join him at his office to invite him to lunch.

_ Miguel, you immediately went to your office after the meeting.

_ Yes, do you want to add something?

_ But no, I just wanted us to have lunch together.

_ No thank you Judith another time, I have already planned something.

_ Alright, I'll leave you.

_ Good appetite Judith.

_ Thank you Miguel.

Judith felt that she had just been stabbed in the heart but she said nothing and went back to her office. She wondered why Miguel answered her so rudely, usually he is very tender with her and he always accepts her invitations to lunch.

Judith knows that Miguel is not yet ready to start a new relationship, which is why she has never revealed her feelings to him. Judith wanted him to fall in love with her out of habit.

Judith and Miguel grew up together, they went to the same schools. At the end of their studies, Judith went there to a school of haute couture and Michaël to a school of entrepreneurship.

After their university studies, the two young people set up a business together, and it works wonderfully, they earn a lot of money day by day by organizing fashion shows.

Judith was pushing away every man that came her way, since college she's still single, hoping one day that Miguel would ask her out until now it still hasn't happened until now.

Their two families were impatiently awaiting the announcement of their engagement but still without success.

The ringing of Judith's phone snapped her out of her thoughts.

_ Hello Mom .

_ Hello my darling little girl.

How are you doing?

_ Well mom and for you?

- Well my darling

I just saw the announcement of the fashion show that will take place in Paris on your page. I'm very happy, you and Miguel have finally decided to launch yourself very very high.

_ Well you know mom a time for everything, it's a big project that requires a lot of work, you know that organizing a fashion show in Paris will not be easy. This project took us a year to implement.

_ I understand you my daughter.

Me and your father are proud of you my dear.

_ Thanks Mom .

I know I can count on you two. Enjoy your vacation.

_ Yes thank you my dear.

Take good care of yourself .

Your dad sends you a big hug.

_ Say hello to him from me mom.

Good day .

Every year Judith's parents like to go on vacation for a month or more, it's a custom for them, they started doing that since their marriage and until now.

Judith tells herself that she will do the same at her wedding. Because she loves the way her parents finally functioned so much, they were always looking to please each other.

She remembers when their parents would purposely throw dinner parties and invite each other just to get them to get together. Miguel was on the balcony, his mother had asked him to join him.

_ But why do mom?

-It's your future husband, you must know what he has, it looks like he's disturbed by something.

_You don't know Miguel mum, he will never talk to me about his problems. He is always ready to help me but it's about him, he refuses to let me approach him.

_It's up to you to destroy this shell, otherwise how will you do when you're husband and wife.

_Mom .

_What ?

-You get ideas.

_How so ?

_Miguel doesn't see me as a woman.

_But how will he see you?

_Like a simple friend and like a sister.

That's what you put in your head.

- No, you're the one putting something back in your head that will never happen.

_You must not lose hope, besides you are a big girl Judith, it is up to you to approach your future husband and conquer his heart.

_How will I do?

_ You're a Judith girl, you just have to use tactics.

Miguel's mother intervened.

_ Yes Judith your mother is right, I want you to be together above all.

All right .

The young woman got up, she went out to find him on the balcony.

_Hi Miguel.

_Finally Judith you must be inside, it's a little cold.

"Don't worry, I can handle it.

_Are you sure ?

_Yes .

He came to rub her arms.

_You are too protective of me Miguel.

_It is my duty to protect you my darling, we have been friends for a very long time.

_Why do you always talk about friends?

_It will always be so Judith.

_I feel that something is bothering you if any time you want to talk, I'm here.

_It's nothing serious thank you for offering me your ears.

_You are too personal Miguel.

_Why do you say that ?

"You never talk about what's bothering you to people even when we were at school. You managed on your own Yet when it's me you're angry so that I tell you.

_ You are a girl, it's up to me to take care of you and support you.

Friendship doesn't work like that, in friendship we support each other.

_You are supporting me Judith.

_ No, I feel in our friendship you are the only investor, you have to give me space so that I invest too because I really want to help you when you have a problem.

Ok thank you Judith, I'll be careful next time.

_You can tell me about it now.

_No for now it's nothing too serious and then I don't want to talk. I just want to go home, if I'm here it's because my parents forced me to come, nothing more.

'' So you didn't want to come home for dinner, to see me.

_To be frank No my friend.

Judith felt that she received a punch in the heart but she said nothing, she still wanted to see Miguel. It was enough to mention her name for her to accept, since her parents said that today we are having dinner with the Gatts. Judith didn't need anyone to tell her more, she already ran to get ready in her room because she still wanted to see the young woman.

_Good I let you enjoy the wind.

_I will come in a moment.

Judith left him, she returned to the room.

_Where is Miguel?

He's still on the balcony.

'' Did he tell you what's wrong with him?

_No, he doesn't want to talk.

You have a job on the board with such a difficult man.

Judith returned to earth, yes over time, getting to know Miguel. She discovered that he is a good man, a best friend who will put your well-being above yours. But all that worries the young woman is because he did not see her as a woman. Judith promises herself to make him change his mind, her mission is to win the heart of Miguel, her childhood friend.
