Clementine Byrne sat in her car and blinked back angry tears. It
didn’t matter that no one could see her, she would not waste a single tear on
that conniving, devious piece of low-life offal. Symeon Francesco wasn’t
worth the spit in her mouth, let alone the tears in her eyes. If only she hadn’t
been such an idiot. She clenched her fists on the steering wheel,
remembering all her stupid defences of him.
Oh no, he’s one of the good ones.
Symeon says I’m going places.
Oh, I totally trust him.
Symeon says I have a special talent.
Symeon says, Symeon says.
Clem shuddered as she remembered Symeon’s last words to her.
You signed the contract. Your work belongs to me and you have no
right to any credit. And if you try to take me to court, you will be in breach
of the non-disclosure agreement you also signed. Now get out!
The ateliers remained hunched over their sewing machines,
desperately trying not to look at Clem as she began to cry. Her beautiful
clothes were hanging from the rails, ready to be shown in the following
week’s fashion show. Each seam that was being sewn right now, she had
spent hours sketching and draping until she knew the garment was perfect.
This was her best collection yet and she was overwhelmed with pride with
what she had achieved. Now she stood in the doorway sobbing as Symeon
spelt out how none of it was hers.
Life in the fashion industry could be cutthroat if you ventured out
into the deep waters too soon. And Clem had done just that. Full of
enthusiastic optimism, she had fallen under the spell of an older designer
who was brilliant and had his own fashion label. Each season he always
created something new and exciting. All she had to do was sign a simple
contract of employment to protect both of their intellectual copyrights. Or
so he had said. She snorted, turned the volume up and put her foot down,
the miles from Norfolk to Scotland slowly being torn up as she raged along
the motorways.
Clem had always struggled with reading at school to the extent that
she had failed all her exams. She knew she wasn’t stupid, but she still felt
the shame of failure. When Symeon had waved a massive contract at her
along with a bottle of champagne she had just turned to the last page and
signed. She trusted Symeon and this agreement was proof that she had
finally arrived.
A beep interrupted her music and she looked at the orange light on
her dashboard in consternation. Clearly one tank of fuel wasn’t enough to
get all the way to Ruacoddy Castle, and in annoyance she came off at the
next service station. Deciding to grab a coffee first, she parked up and slid
down from her seat. As she slammed the door closed, she heard a voice
shout out behind her.
