Jane had woken up from her nap and Damon was nowhere to be found, she quickly glanced over at the wall clock and it was past midnight. ‘’He should have returned by now’’ She had not intended to sleep for such a long time. She walked over to the bathroom to relieve herself when she noticed a suitcase close to hers. It was that of Damon, if this was here that meant he was over-rounding up on some work in his study. Jane knew he had not made use of the one in the room so as not to disturb her. She went in and did her business before stepping. She still felt so sleepy, that rather than going and disturbing him, she decided to go back to bed. She made a mental note to ask about her travel destination first thing in the morning. But what she had not anticipated was waking up to an empty room. His luggage was gone and the maid had confirmed he left when she was fast asleep. Jane was afraid to interfere in his work so she decided not to call. Her flight was in a few hours hence she headed
‘’They….?’’ Regina could not find words to finish the statement. Her reaction was rather pleasing to Pamela who watched in amusement. ‘’Yeah I know, I was shocked same as you when I found out.‘’ Regina quickly glanced over at her phone and typed some words then turned to Pamela and displayed a good number of sites all saying Damon Miles was single and very much available. ‘’How can they be married, I mean when did it happen?’’ every word that left her mouth was unfiltered. Regina did not just react. She has been her manager all this while and only thought she fooled around him. Now she almost digs her own grave. Who would want to get on the bad side of Damon Miles, staring at the ruthless king of the entertainment industry being so tender and caring towards Jane was enough to know Dave and Leslie were practically idiots. ‘’I know right, well let's say she got married on the same day she was to wed Dave, he had been so busy with his mistress that he postponed the wedding yet aga
Finally, the long flight was over, and they all left the plane together. On arrival, Kelly was already waiting. Dave practically ran into her arms like some 2-year-old kid. Kelly was not the type to be considered the main attraction. She looked nothing like her brother, with broad tiny legs and a slender waist, she could easily walk her way into the entertainment industry. Her dream was to pursue a career as an actress or a model, however, she did not grow to be the face the entertainment industry served hence she settled for managing those qualified. ‘’Oh hello there Jane, it's been a very long time since I heard from you’’ She did not go in for her usual hug which she had given her the few times they had met. Since she chose to settle for a handshake, Jane had no problem granting her wish. ‘’Indeed it has been a long time Kelly, hope you're doing well?’’ Jane asked, trying as much as she could to keep the conversation civil. ‘’’ Well I must say, work has been taking too much of
Kelly had arranged for a good dinner with Dave and Leslie. They were going to stay over for the entire trip. Leslie could not help but act weary of her. They've known each other for a very long time but not one had it because she was her brother's side piece. ‘’I am not totally in support of what the both of you did to Jane, but since you are one my brother has settled on, I will do my best to see you through’’ Leslie was satisfied, all she ever wanted was her support and recognition. ‘’Big sis, I feel bad for her and we did not intend to hurt her. But we all know the heart wants what it wants and she is not ready to forgive’’ Leslie has always portrayed herself as the victim. Playing the victim has always been her greatest card. ‘’I know that yes I do not agree with the steps you two took but I did not see I was happy with her as well. She should have done better regarding the last stunt she pulled.’’ Kelly sighed. Jane was a good model, to her she was the perfect match for Dave,
Regina stared at Jane with so much meaning. ‘’Jane, is it very clear your purpose has been served and they want you out’’ The message was loud and clear. ‘’Leslie and Dave are taking too much, how dare they want to get rid of you after using you to bring that slut over to Belgium? If not for one thing a well-deserved slap would be how I welcome them tomorrow’’ Pamela was furious, she did not like it as they used her friend at every given opportunity. While Pamela has worked with Jane for a good length of time, she has never gotten the chance to come in contact with Kelly. She had no idea of how scheming Kelly was or how controlling she was towards her artist and any artist in general. Jane was indeed right from the very start. Kelly liked controllers and she began to see her manifest it over Leslie. ‘’This is with the support of Dave and very little say from Leslie, but it is all the doing of Kelly… Pamela, I know how bad your temper is but for these very shoots, you will have to
Ever since the outburst of Jane, Mrs Carter has not been herself. She was still to look through the other artists' portfolios, given by Kelly but something within her wouldn't let it through. She felt she did need to and Jane was more than Kelly had mentioned. She quickly dialed her assistant who rushed in. ‘’Clara, I want everything and anything you can find on Jane, and also do book a venue for my lunch with Mrs Cobswell.’’ Clara rushed out in a daze. It was a busy time and Clara had barely gotten any meaningful rest. Lookious was at its busiest moments and every employee flight the stress cut through their bones. While models could not wait to begin shooting, employees like Clara couldn't wait for it to be over. She wanted to rest, her body craved it. When Jane and the others arrived at the house, Pamela was trembling in anger. She had expected Dave and his mistress to do something but not as vile as this one. Not only were they good at freezing Jane's jobs but they had not provi
‘’What are you talking about? Isn't she just some newcomer?’’ Mrs Carter asked, visibly panicking, she was dumbfounded, how could a newcomer know Miss Cobswell? She has never seen her friend so red from anger. ‘’What newcomer? I hope you treated her nicely for how you could. Do you know just how many companies are willing to work with her just at the mention of her name? Tell me who dares to call her a newcomer?'' Mrs Carter wished at this point the ground would open up and swallow her. How could Kelly have lied about something as important? If Jane was to be the best student of her friend, that means she did not fall under the newcomer category she was given. Indeed she had said she would regret it before the end of today. Well, she was already regretting her decision. ‘’You should be happy she is willing to sign with you. She is such a rare talent and I can proudly tell you she will do a wonderful job. More than anyone and it will be an even bigger hit’’ Mrs Carter could not brin
Late into the night, Mrs Carter had sent out another email requesting the presence of Kelly, Dave, and Leslie for another meeting. It was so late into the night when Jane had given her an answer, hence the message was sent late and consequently every took note of it only in the early hours of morning. ‘’The contract signing has to be on another day, why does Mrs. Carter want to meet with us so suddenly?’’ Leslie asked Dave, leaning in his embrace. It was still early for her to start preparing. ‘’Maybe she wants to do things fast, also didn't my sister hand over some other models to her yesterday? She might have made her decision. Just don't overthink issues. Jane would be returning home by nightfall and this contract would be yours’’ Dave gently kissed Leslie. He had already made sure there was an available flight for Jane to leave. He did not want to take the chance of her staying behind and scheming behind their backs. It was 5 am and he dialed her number. When the phone rang Dam
