CHAPTER 1

"Ugh! These designs are driving me crazy." Said a very frustrated lady.

"Gosh! Of all times, why do I have to forget about these stuffs?" the lady groaned with more frustration in her voice.

"Oneesan. Oneesan." The lady heard a soft voice from the door and immediately guessed that it was her younger sister Hanako. All the frustration on her face vanished when she turned to the little girl.

"Yes dear. What do you need?" she asked with gentleness coating her voice.

"Mom wants to talk to you in the receiving room." The girl said innocently.

"Ok dear just give me a minute and I'll be there. Go ahead and I'll follow." She said and gave the girl a peck on the cheeks.

"Ok bye oneesan." The girl gave her a wind smile and dashed down the stairs.

Mikan Sakura, a 19 year old lady was finishing her self-made designs when her sister knocked on her door. She designs for their family's fashion empire while studying in the country's top university, Gakuen Alice. In a very young age she is recognized as one of the most sought after couturier in the country and is starting to make her name ring in the bigger world of fashion.

After keeping her work and organizing her things she went out of her work room and presided to the stairs.

The family's living room was a very wide, bright and comfortable one. It has an area having a ceiling to floor glass window that is topped by draperies that are tied in a neat way. Their house furniture sets are all high quality and are high-end. Cream and brown with a little touch of soft orange and gold dominated the room's interior.

Sitting on one of the chairs was a very sophisticated woman who sheds class and elegance in her movements. The lady was seated properly on the long sofa and was looking at her with a bright smile on her face.

"Hey mom." She greeted her mother and gave her a kiss on the cheeks. "What did you call me for?" she asked as she sat beside her mom on the classy furniture.

"Do I really have to have a reason just to see my daughter?" her mom said with a slight pout on her face.

She gave a sweet smile after seeing her mother acting like a young one. "Mom, there you go again."

"Ok. Ok. I give up, I know I'm not that young anymore but I just want to act you know?" her mom smiled at her too.

"So dear I just like to remind you about you flight to Paris two weeks from now."

"Oh! Is it really two weeks from now?"

"Dear! When will you ever grow up?" her mom gave her a soft laugh.

"Mom, I'm all grown up you know. Its just that I forget things sometimes and one brief example is now." She said and joined her mom in laughing.

The mother and daughter continued conversing until a ringer cell phone disturbed them.

"Oh. Here goes my cue." Mikan said as he turned off her phone's alarm.

"So I'll see you latter dear." Her mom said while hugging her

"Yeah mom, see you latter." She said while returning the woman's hug.

"Kiss me goodbye to Hanako."

"Ok, dear. Go now you might be late." They stood up and her mom accompanied her to the house's door.

The family butler approached them from the waiting car and further escorted her till she went in her silver Mercedes Guardian.

"Have a safe trip to school, Lady Mikan." The butler said with a smile on his face

"Thank You Butler Chen." She replied with another smile to the old butler.

She waved to her mom who was still standing on the front door and then she wore her sunglasses, started her engine and drove off.

Mikan was on her way to Gakuen Alice, the best university in Japan. It offers almost all courses in a high-quality level. She is on her last year in her course and is planning to proceed to a higher study in Paris'ESMOD (l'Ecole Supérieure des Arts et techniques de la Mode)
