Hollywood Zenith

" Sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Miriam, the owner of this store." Seeing the exciting eyes of seamstress while looking at Elise Samuel could only shake his head helplessly.

Another one bits the dust, Elise's cuteness was too terrifying! He could tell what she was thinking just by looking at her.

" Miss Miriam, what do you say? Can you make clothes for children?" Eleanor asked again.

She had surveyed the products of this store, everything was top notch, from the material to style, it fit her requirements perfectly.

Samuel could also tell a hint of respect in his grandmother's voice. He remembered there were few textile and fashion industries under Morgan family.

He never thought she would be a connoisseur of fashion but it seemed like he was wrong. He himself never really paid much attention to it after all he had many titles related to various industries but he never got around to fashion and designing stuff.

" Ofcourse, ofcourse but I am afraid it would take some time after all I am the only employee of this store." Miriam said with a hint of embarassment.

Samuel and Eleanor were surprised to hear it. From looking at the store they could tell the business was okay, it would take weeks for her to produce so many clothes.

After asking her about it, she told them that she knew the owners of the mall and they gave her a discount on rent. She had been renting the place for years, it might not popular as other big brands but because of loyal customers she was able to afford it.

When asked why she was not employing other people or going the brand route like other stores she could only admit with difficulty that it was because she was a bit of a perfectionist.

Most of the brands tend to follow asian countries through the OEM route because of low wages. She loves her craft and didn't want to lower the standard by mass producing her designs. Beside, her youth has already passed those days of dreaming about becoming famous fashion designer or making herself a household name had lost luster in her eyes.

" That's unfortunate. I never knew such a place existed in quiet corner of this massive mall. But at the same time it's wuite commendable on your part." Eleanor gave a rare compliment.

Miriam only smiled in response, she could tell the woman opposite of her had unusual background still even compliments from sucha person wouldn't faze her. She was true to her words, only caring about making new clothes.

Eleanor put forward her request, a set of twelve dresses of various designs. Someone would bring her the materials she would need after all in Eleanor's eyes even of the store procured good material for the craft it was far from satisfiable for Eleanor's taste.

It was suppose to be her first girft for Elise, she wanted best of the best and something truly unique. It was one of the reason why she asked her people to find a store which was not geared toward the rich.

No matter how much they tried to sell their latest and limited addition clothes, she knew there was bound to another person who would have same clothes. After all she wasn't the only rich person in the world and clothes don't cost much too.

Samuel was surprised but also thankful. If they appeared with million dollar clothe collection for Elise's closet. Not only him but Mayra and Kayla would also feel distressed to accept it.

" I can do it but...it will take few weeks. I can take measurements and if you have any requirement with design you can tell me." Miriam accepted the job. She was excited to see the result and also hoped to take few photos of Elise after all it would be hard for her to find such a cute model!

Samuel was left to do his own thing while Eleanor and Miriam talked. Eleanor had quite a lot of ideas for the clothes, they both started brainstorming excitedly, drawing their concepts on paper.

Elise who felt their conversation was too boring was also given few stationaries to pass time. She naturally came to find Samuel whom she knew was good at drawing.

Occasionally, people that passed by the store would see two old woman discussing feverishly in the corner while a young man and a little girl was laying on the floor scribblings and laughing together.

It felt less like clothing store and more like family gathering. They would wonder what was going on especially when they would see Elise, the cute little girl that would smile from time to time while hugging and hanging on young man's neck.

It was a harmonious scene which warmed their heart. Knowingly or unknowingly, there was a small crowd gathering outside the store peeking inside but none dared to interrupt the atmosphere.

After about an hour of discussion they finally noticed the strange crowd who were gathering outside Miriam's store. The reason why it was strange because everyone had weird expression on their faces like they were amused and happy at the same time.

Eleanor and Miriam understood why after looking at Samuel and Elise, they were like perfect pair of father and daughter immersed in their own little world which made every appreciate the scene.

" It strangely peaceful." Miriam said softly.

Eleanor nodded her head and smiled. She could tell her grandson was not bad, atleast he knew how to take care of children. She couldn't wait to hold another great-grandson in few years. It was biund to happen when he was 'playing' around so much.

After their talk, they barely managed to escape the crowd and came to the food court under the urgency of Elise. After walking around for hours, she was hungry and since it was her day, both adults had to comply with princess' orders.

She selected the dishes and ate happily, there were still few people who would look at them but it didn't hinder them. With Eleanor's work done, they left the mall ready for their second adventure of the day!
