The next few weeks were simply horrible for Cia. His behaviour was very rude towards her. He would never enter her room. Infact he very rarely would come to the office. If he would come he would either be barking orders or would be snapping at someone. Gone was the Jay who would have a cup of coffee with her in the mornings sitting at her porch and discussing the office or even simple moments of their lives.
Everyone noticed the change in Jay’s attitude including Veronica who decided to take advantage of the situation. Whenever Jay would come to the workshop she would enter his office on one pretext or the other. She would find reasons to harass Cia . Once or twice Cia decided to clear the misunderstanding with Jay but whenever she entered hi s room either he left the room or she would find Veronica sitting with him.
Next month there was a fashion exhibition in Paris. Veronica was their lead designer so she was to accompany Jay to Paris. Veronica had her plan in place. She calmly informed Cia that Jay belonged to her and she would make Jay commit to her in Paris. She informed Cia that she would come back from Paris engaged to Jay She also told her that Cia had just been a fresh diversion for Jay but he would marry someone of his own status..
