Her Return, His Regret by Natie

Chapter 46-A dress

Days came and went and soon,. I was the day before the launch party.

"Are you ready for tomorrow?" Jason asked Lora on the phone.

As per tradition, Jason had called Lora before her bedtime.

Lora bit her lower lip before replying, "I am kind of nervous."

"Really? I never expected you to be nervous when everyone praises your work," Jason remarked.

Lora let out a sigh and said, "It's like that with artists. We always doubt ourselves no matter how good one is... there's always that anxiousness about whether people will like our work or not. I have confidence in my work, but I can't help but be anxious about everyone's reaction to it. Of course, I know not everyone would be a fan of my work and that's understandable. We all have different tastes but that doesn't mean negative comments don't get to me."

"You're only human, my love," Jason replied. "Your skills are exceptional. You don't have to worry."

"Yes but I just can't help but be nervous," Lora murmured.

"Well, for me, I can't wait to officially meet Miss L at the launch party tomorrow..." Jason teased.

Lora laughed heartily and said, "Oh stop it... you've met me so many times already."

"I have but not in this formal set-up. I'm honoured to be your plus one," Jason remarked on the phone.

Lora smiled, feeling warm. It turned out she had made the right decision to date Jason. He was so kind to her and always showered her with love and affection. Something she had never experienced when she was married to Ryan.

Although her relationship with Jason had no intense sparks or tingles, she felt at ease because Jason didn't give her a reason to be doubtful.
