Bad dreams and sleepless nights were Juliette's daily routine. That day wasn't the exception.
She got up and rubbed her right eye while yawning; she still remembered what had happened the day before, drinks and music, all her friends reunited...George.
Leaving bad things in the past she had taken the courage to go and visit them, now she was having second thoughts about it.
She shook her head a little and smiled 'No time to be regretting' She thought to herself.
Getting up, she sighed and went towards the bathroom. "Time for a good bath" Juliette walked beside a little table and checked her cell phone, Miwako had called her.
'I'll call back as soon as I finish dressing' …Minutes passed and she had already taken a bath and everything. It was 8:00 in the morning.
Juliette took her cell phone and called Miwako.
"Hello?"
"Miwako-chan, how are you this morning?"
"Juliette! Hello! I'm fine! You?"
"I'm quite alright, you called me. What is it?"
"Oh, I thought it would be a good idea for us to meet again today. I'll come and pick you up at the hotel. !"
"Oh…yes! I'll be waiting for you at 10:00 okay?"
"Sure! See you!"
Juliette put the cell phone back in the table and sighed.
She had an appointment at 8:30 so she got her jacket and left the room.
People looked at her in the street; she was in sight of everyone. Her stylish clothes made her shine above everyone else. She smiled and stopped in front of a big building.
Taking her cell phone out she called an unknown person…"I'm here"
"Oh, come in. I'll be right down"
She pushed the door and got in. A good-looking guy was smiling at her.
"Well, Well, What a surprise!" The man said.
"It isn't a surprise...We see each other often James." Juliette said with a disturbed voice.
This man called James Mayson was Juliette's right hand. She had met him in NY and since then they had worked together.
He had confessed his love for her several times but she didn't listen to him.
"Let's talk about you and your time here Juliette" James said while taking her to the elevator.
Juliette turned to him and lightly smiled. "Why do you want to speak about that? Weren't we going to talk about business?"
He smiled "Because I'm curious. We'll do that later 'kay?"
The elevator was going up and little numbers on the top of it lightened as it continued.
When a little bell rang, the door of the elevator opened and a luxurious hall appeared in front of them.
"Is this your little office, James?" Juliette chuckled as they walked through the hall.
"Yes, as you see, it is." He smiled and opened a dark-wooden-door.
Juliette walked in and sat in a big red sofa that was in the middle of the room. In front of it there was a big desk with papers and stuff. There were bookshelves and there was a big window behind the big desk.
James sat in a black chair and looked at her.
"Now, explain"
"What?" Juliette said while scratching her neck.
"Well, first. Why did you suddenly say that you had to come to Japan and made me move my stuff here so we could work?"
He said while crossing his arms and looking at her with curiosity.
She smiled "This year is important."
"It is?"
"Yes"
"Does it have to do with this guy called George?" James said while writing some things.
"Maybe…maybe not. Who knows?"
"Stop playing with me Juliette, I know it has to do with him."
"Then why do you ask?"
He chuckled and silence took over the place.
"If you're not going to say anything else, then we should start talking about our projects. Time is running James" Juliette said
"Ok, I listen to you"
"First of all, we need to increase our sales. You remember the boss told us to work as hard while we are here. So, tomorrow I'll search around town for new ideas and then I'll give you some sketches. We don't have time to lose. When they're set I'll look for the cloth and give it to you so you and your employees can work on your part. Ok?"
"Ok."
Juliette sighed and closed her eyes. "It sounds easy but..."
"You still like him?"…
She turned to James and looked at him..."Did you hear what I just said?!"
"I did, I did but I want to know."
She rubbed her forehead with her hand and sighed.
"I don't know"
"You don't know?"
"You heard me right? You know I hate repeating myself."
James stood up leaving the papers he signed in the desk.
He looked towards the city through the big window.
"You know my feelings for you, you know I'm here for you" He said without turning around.
Juliette smiled "I know" Suddenly her cell phone rang.
She picked it up and answered.
"Yes? Urie here."
"Hey, there"
She stayed there…Frozen. Her voice was paralyzed and all she came into her mouth was a weak "George..?"
James turned around and stared at her.
"Yes, it's me. Could we meet?"
Juliette looked at her clock. It was 9:00 AM. She had a free hour.
"Now? Sure. Where?"
"The Blue River´s front door. You know where it is right?"
"Yeah" After this, Juliette hanged up.
Quickly, she stood up and grabbed her purse.
"We'll meet later right?" James said already sitting in his chair and signing papers again.
"Yes, James. Laters"
She walked through the hall, and arrived at the elevator.
Her thoughts were naïve and she was daydreaming, leaning against the wall.
The doors opened and the reception appeared, she walked through it and pushed the glass door of the entrance.
Waving her hand she asked for a cab. When it arrived she got in and sighed.
"To The Blue River restaurant please"
The driver said nothing and the car started running.
A few minutes later the cab stopped and Juliette looked through the window.
George was already standing there… In the middle of the street.
