Leslie smiled, leaning and giving him a quick kiss. She was very much aimed at taunting Jane since she had mentioned she climbed up to his bed, she might as well show her how much gain she had for climbing on the right bed. ‘’You know everything will be okay,'' Leslie tells Dave after their short shared romantic moment. Leslie turns to Jane with a proud smile on her face. ‘’I will try not to disappoint’’ Jane tells him with a cheeky smile. Her words were not entirely true nor were the lies. She was indeed willing to put up with Leslie and do her best to cost them another scandal, but it also meant she would not disappoint in giving them the result they did not want if Leslie stepped hard on her toes. Dave stared at Jane intensely but he still could not figure out what was on her mind. A few months back he would have boasted to anyone how much he knew her, but the woman standing before him was not the same as a few months back. She was very good at masking her thoughts and the calme
‘’Leslie trust is not the issue here. I want you to understand I do believe in and trust you. But this battle is such that you can't afford to lose’’ Dave's words carried so much authority and determination. With all she had just said losing shouldn't be an option. ‘’I know I can do it, you don't have to worry all the time. Jane is no match for me’’ Leslie was proud, she had the confidence Kelly had mentioned she was missing, however looking at her situation one could tell the confidence was indeed wrongly placed. While Jane was getting ready, her phone rang. Regina and Pamela quietly excused her after seeing the name on the screen. ‘’Hello,’’ Jane answered casually through the phone. She was on set and Damon understood she could not address him the way she pleased. She still had a long way to go before telling the world she had been taken by him. ‘’I saw the interview and I must say I love my wife,” Damon praised her. His ways of doing things were rather too different. Jane flushe
Leslie flaunted her beauty, no one could resist praising her and giving her good compliments, she was shining as the stars of the night. Everything Was just perfect, whereas Jane was not the same. She sat so quietly making some forget she was even there. She did not see the need to talk or hold small chats. Leslie was not the same, she held long conversations with literally everything and everything. It was even easier for the staff to term her the easygoing one amongst the both of them. While Jane had no emotion on her face, they could not say if she was happy or just proving arrogant, but of course, they all went with she was just arrogant. ‘’Miss, Leslie since you appear to be done, why don't you join the photographer and have your solos taken first?’’ the photographer's assistant said, ushering her in. She was a young lady of better 19 or 20. She had good command over both the French and English language which was impressive for someone of her age. Leslie stood up giving Jane a
Dave came back just a minute after leaving. Jane and Leslie both turn simultaneously towards him. ‘’The next shot will have both of you in it. Jane, I expect you not to cause problems and the same goes for you Leslie’’ Dave warned both ladies sternly. ‘’Of course, Jane had been the one causing all the problems so I will surely keep an eye on her,’’ Leslie replied arrogantly. Dave did not like the attitude he was getting from Jane. She was quiet throughout and wouldn't spare him a word. He had expected her to say something after seeing them together or have sought some reaction but nothing came. She rather turned to the Makeup artist asking for some stuff he was careless about. He was enraged. She had said she loved him, she was ready to marry him a few months ago and now seeing him with another woman did not make her react at all. Dave could not help but question himself. had he been the one using her or could it have been the other way around? Jane was fast rising and so was her
Jane and Leslie continued with the shots. It took a good number of posts and captured closure for them to be finished.Once they were done, Leslie hung around and took every praise showered on Jane by the crew. She did not understand French and hence could not tell every word said by the crew and the photographer was not for her but for Jane. She held herself up high, according to her, it was her time to shine. Jane did not insist nor did she push her out of the way, on the contrary, she let Leslie make a continuous fool of herself. Her translator was too embarrassed to tell her the true meaning of the words. Nothing they said was for her, it was all Jane and not Leslie. A high pompous model like her would think the poor translator would be lying if she were to be told the truth. Jane sat back down patiently waiting for her to be done. Once Leslie had enough of the compliments she quickly ran back to the fitting room where Dave was waiting for her. The photographer did have the tim
Leslie had been so consumed by anger that she did not notice the glass of water Nathan had handed over to her slipping away. The shattering noise filled the room. Just when they all thought all was okay, Pamela let out a heart-wrenching scream. ‘’Oh, Jane you're bleeding’’ she rushed over examining the little cuts. Regina could not believe Leslie had the nerve to do such a vicious thing to Jane. The smile on her face made it clear it had been anything but a mistake. A model's legs are her most precious asset, but Leslie just dared to ruin Jane forever. ‘’oh my god, Jane your leg, oh how will we tell..’’ ‘’Pamela, you should get my phone so we call the insurance company’’ Regina was quick to stop Pamela from saying anything more. She was in shock and it was understandable. ‘’Insurance? Jane come on we all know it was only but an accident’’ Leslie spoke up. Contacting the insurance company would mean going to court if need be. The room had security footage and there was no way she
While waiting for Regina to bring the car, Jane watched Kelly walk from a distance straight to her. ‘’Today is not your day is it?’’ Pamela jokes. Kelly had this mocking smug on her face. They were staring right at each other. Jane was not going to let her intimidate her. She did not break eye contact, Kelly walked right up to her slightly pushing her shoulders as she walked past her. ‘’The day of the release would be the time Iwill show you just where you belong. I will make sure it is your last in the modeling industry’’ the loudness of her voice was worth mocking. Jane could not help but feel the siblings were finger-tight around Leslie. How much did they believe in her to think she alone was enough to send her away from the modeling industry? ‘’And how are you going to see to the finalization of that? Do you believe Leslie is so capable of taking me down?’’ Jane sure did want to know. ‘’Jane, I know your pride comes from having spent so much time internationally in your year
When they arrived home Jane was still very much fast asleep, Damon wasted no time in carrying her to their room. He made her comfortable before stepping out to get the first aid box. When he was done tendering her wounds, Regina and Pamela drove in. They had deviated from a cup of caffeine. Despite their win and anticipated announcement. They both knew Damon was waiting for them. Their big boss would need answers only they could provide. Hiding things from him was the best of options as he was like a shield. Everything that came through had to go by him first. Regina peeped into the living area making sure it was empty before they could walk in. They were not the ones who had hurt Jane’s legs but they were scared. It was due to their carelessness and underestimation of Leslie that Jane now had small cuts on her legs. Both ladies knew they couldn't run forever, however they were willing to take their chances. Pamela was scared of what he might do to Leslie and Dave. Unlike Jane,
Everyone was gone as Dave was busy with getting things ready for Leslie and Kelly was rather focused on finding a newcomer who looked more like Jane and with similar features. They were going to use Jane to promote the new commercial. But while everyone was looking out for each other, Leslie was rather in a world of her own. Her paranoia had gotten to the highest level. She wanted fame at every cost and her words were enough to make Nathan stand at a freezing point for minutes not sure of how to react. ‘’Book me an appointment after the night Galaxy event, I can't have anyone getting to know of this baby”’ ‘’what?’’ That was all Nathan could bring out of his mouth. His brain suddenly left him. Secretly he was envious of Jane, she had managed to reach great heights without the help of Dave. To top it up she has not only succeeded in standing tall and moving ahead but also done so with all the troubles Leslie and Dave have put her through. Nathan did not see the same path for Leslie
Jane had to wake up alone. Damon was long gone but not without leaving a note for her. On the note he made sure to inform her of who would be walking her down the red carpet while also letting her know the relationship of Pamela and Edward may be none on that day. While Edward and Pamela were both only employees to Damon and Jane in the eyes of the public, they were more than that in private. Edward and Pamela knew of the risk they were taking and as such were more than happy to let Damon know ahead of time so as not to cause an even bigger problem for Jane. Jane stayed all day at home going through her page, it had been a while since she last logged in and her fans were more than happy to have her. While they all asked the same question, if she was attending the Galaxy event, Jane was wise enough to give short answers and only mention she would be busy that night shooting for Lookious magazine. Her fans felt disappointed but supportive. While Jane was live catching up with her
While Jane had given up on asking Pamela where they were headed and just sat in the car patiently. Unlike if it would have been another which would have made her worry, Jane was more relaxed as she closed her eyes to get some rest. She still had some shootings of Mrs. Carter to take care of before the Galaxy night event and knew devious entertainment would be on her case to make sure she was not attending. Once the car came to a halt, Jane opened her eyes not sure why Pamela had brought her to her biggest shopping mall in the country in broad daylight. She was scared her fans would recognize her. ‘’Don't worry, I had this prepared for you”’ Pamela tells her handling a bag. Jane had more than one question in the end but chose not to ask. She quietly slipped to the back of the car and put on the jean shorts and crop top with a facemask and a hoodie. The look was something very new to her as it had been years since she dressed as such. She was more of a fan of modest dressing but see
While Jane walked out, the words of Dave made him stop in her tracks but not turn. ‘’Why don't you take a break and revert from the path of vengeance then things will be even better. You will drown yourself’’ Jane could only carry her lips up. Since they knew she was going to drown, there was no need to ask for help. ‘’As I drown I want you to do nothing but watch, do not save me for you don't have the capabilities to do so’’ She turned her head slightly to the trash and her torn invitation had still not been taken out. Was it revenge she wanted or fairness? All she wanted was for them to give her what was hers but they have always chosen to double-cross her. How can he call her actions revenge, when he had never treated her with any fairness? Jane did not stop in her tracks as she went ahead. She felt it was rather amusing how they were all pretending to be looking out for her now when they were certainly the ones going to drown. Dave of all people was going to drown in the water
Jane and Pamela had a great time just watching Damon and Edward go about with their work since no one was allowed to say a word or spread rumors, Jane was even more relieved as she lay on the couch and watched her man work. When it was time to head home, Edward drove Pamela who was visibly tired from all the work she had to take care of during their shooting. While Jane and Damon drove home, he glanced through the biggest event in the entertainment industry which was upcoming. ‘’So you and Leslie would be attending, have you chosen an outfit or do you need help with it?’’ Damon asked Jane who turned to him with a perplexed expression. ‘’What are you talking about? Where would I go be going with Leslie?’’ Jane asked not sure if she understood what her husband was hinting at. There was no way she would be willing to share a stage with Leslie again as she had done with Lookious. She was aware of how great she was and Leslie did not stand the chance to be even a backup of hers. If D
Once Leslie and Dave were at the office, Kelly was quick to present them with the invitations. “‘Why is that of Jane in the trash?’’ Leslie had noticed the invitation of Jane was not only in the trash but also torn. ‘’An upcoming artist who is too proud of who he dragged and will make it even easier for her to fall. Dave now that Leslie is doing better, I think we have a better chance’’ Kelly could not hold back herself. She was so obsessed with controlling others and saw this as a chance to step on Jane like she should have done long ago when they were in Belgium. ‘’What do you want me to do? She is the most earning artist the company has now and it is going to be difficult to convince the board to lay her low”’ Dave squeezed his hands together not sure of what Kelly was hinting at. “‘She may be the top earner, but if they get to know she has plans of leaving I think they would reconsider and go for an artist who would be here for an even longer time and also invest more into th
Despite everything Leslie did and was willing to do, not once did Nathan think of judging her. She was his employer and he understood what she was going through. While her biggest rival was having a blast in her career, Leslie's was falling at a rather questionable rate. As they drove home, Leslie looked through the window trying hard to forget, but how could she forget the hands of Mr Will on her body? She felt so disgusted and angry. ‘’I am doing all this because you've pushed me to the edge but I will get back, just you wait’’ Leslie clenched her fist so hard her knuckles turned white. While she was rather dreaming of taking her revenge on Jane and putting herself in the way of even more scandals, Leslie was unaware everything she was just doing had only made it easier for Jane to target her. Once they got home, she was quick to head for the bedroom stripping off every piece of cloth as she stepped naked into the bathroom. Leslie cried in silence as the water failed to watch
While Jane went straight to her seat, Pamela noticed Dave walking right straight to them. Pamela was worried but Jane told her to stand down. ‘’What do you want again? I thought we were over?’’ Jane asked as soon as Dave was close enough to hear her. ‘’How can we be over when every time you sit you are always thinking of a thousand ways to crush Leslie and me?’’ Jane did not want to but he was forcing her. It was not her who was thinking of ways to crush the other but the way around. If they had not stood in her way there was no way they would have gotten to the stage they are right now. ‘’Dave, to you I am the devil, you were the one to suppress me and cancel my jobs, you were the same person to push me to the wall, back in Belgium and now you say I think of ways to crush you two? I've said it before and I will always say it. I do not step on those who do not step on me first.’’ Jane had no more words for him as she walked out to enjoy the scenery of the night. The noise and th
As everyone, cleared the way and continued chatting in small groups, Kelly turned her focus to Dave who still did not get why she had not announced she was to be the new manager of Jane as they had planned. ‘’Jane would leave, devious entertainment if I should announce taking over as her manager. Dave, I have not worked with Jane for a long time but I have a little perception of the type of person she is and I can tell you this is not all she has up her sleeves. Why don't you go see her and let's hear what she has to say”’ Kelly held on so tight to her wine glass. She never would have thought Jane would find out ahead of time and threaten her so much. Dave was quick to head towards Jane who had a smile all along. Pamela had joined her by the time he got to her, since Damon had offered to drop her off, there wasn't a need for Pamela to come to pick her up, hence they had agreed on coming separately. Once Dave got close, Pamela was quick to stand in front of Jane protectively. ‘’ wh
