Chapter 2

Mrs Valentino gives a relieved sigh because her phone is with, if not a whole her, the wife of the richest man in America would trek.

She dials the number of their second driver, The Valentino's have up to ten drivers.

The driver arrived immediately after the call,if he gets sacked, there isn't a place he will get the amount the Valentino's are paying.

They arrived at home shortly and Mrs Valentino went straight to Drake's room.

But the doors were locked, she knocked on the door repeatedly and Drake didn't open up.

"Drake, if you are listening, you need to be well behaved as of now because soon you are getting married!" Mrs Valentino said angrily.

"Marriage!, What is that? Me being tied to a girl right, I wouldn't, go and marry the girl" he replied without opening the door.

Mrs Valentino smirks and leaves his door.

She was going to the compound to meet the driver who acted stupidly, but surprisingly she met the driver in the sitting room and on his knees.

"I'm sorry Mrs Valentino, I couldn't decline the young master order, please pardon me!" He begged.

"Who gave birth to young master? Who employs you? Who paid your salary?" Mrs.Valentino asked.

"Of course, you are the one, after Mr Valentino's death" he replied and Mrs Valentino signals him to stand up, which he did trembling.

One thing about Mrs Valentino is that she shouldn't be offended, if offended then the human should be awaiting immediate judgement.

"That is the way out, and never come back here" She said.

"Please, Mrs Valentino, I promise this wouldn't happen again" he pleaded crying.

"Of course, it wouldn't, because this is your last day in this house" She replied and a guy entered.

The guy bowed and Mrs Valentino smiled.

"It's good, you are here Mudrock, throw this thrash out" She said to the guy.

Johnny Mudrock, he is more like a bodyguard to Mrs Valentino, people only see his first eye, the second is covered with an eye patch and he is always in black suit.

She trusted him the most and he just arrived from her errands.

"1, 2" before Mudrock can count the rest, the driver is nowhere to be found.

"So how far…"

"Evelyn, where are you? You keep mega cream waiting, I asked you from Amber and she is staring like she is mute" Mr Ronald, Evelyn's boss asked.

"There is an emergency at home, so I went there," Evelyn replied.

"I hope there is no problem?" He asked.

"Nope," Evelyn replied.

"Then we can continue to shoot for Mega cream," Mr Ronald said.

"Yes, do I need to change or have a little makeup?" She asked.

"Of course, you have to clean your makeup, we will use your nude face for before and your light make up face for after" Mr Ronald replied.

"Alright" She replied and left for her dressing room while Amber followed hastenstly falling down.

Mr Ronald PA, Nathan quickly rushed there, he helped her up but she glared maliciously at him.

"Are you hurt?" He asked touching her hand but she removed his hand from hers and stood up.

Evelyn looks back at Amber and shakes her head at her clumsy nature.

"I told you not to interfere in my business again, I detest your ugly face" she replied and Nathan left heartbroken.

They enter Evelyn's dressing room.

Evelyn stretches her hand while Amber quickly gives her some tissue.

She sat in front of the glass and wiped her makeup carefully.

"You are always falling and he is always helping you up, what does that mean?" Evelyn said and Amber looked down.

"I guess it's love, why don't you give the boy a chance, you are both 18 and Nathan is a good boy" Evelyn said and Amber handed her another tissue which she used to clean her lipstick.

"At least, you can date a person who loves you and not a person you have never seen like in my case" She said with a sigh.

"Sis, in my own case, I'm looking for a prince charming, who is so tall and has pink lips with sexy dimples like my Drake," Amber replied dreamingly making Evelyn remember the guy, who called himself anonymous.

"I will say it's not a dream because I have seen one but he doesn't have dimples" She replied.

"Sis, should I show you my Drake, he is the youngest richest billionaire in America, he is your age," Amber replied, bringing out her phone.

"The shoot is starting now" Nathan said and maintained eye contact with Amber before withdrawing his eyes.

"Alright," Evelyn replied and stood up, Amber followed.

"Camera, are you ready?" Mr Ronald asked the photographer.

"Of course" He replied and a white chair was carried there by the trainees.

Evelyn sat on the white chair, she was wearing an off shoulder gown and her hair was tied up by one of the trainees.

The off shoulder gown exposed her white radiant skin.

A white bulb exactly like the color of her skin shone brightly under her head.

"Photographer, are you set? Evelyn straightens your back" Mr Ronald.

"Are you set, Miss Evelyn?" The photographer asked.

"Of course" she replied and the photographer clicked the camera.

"Give us another pose!" Mr Ronald said to Evelyn.

Evelyn pouted but the photographer didn't click the camera.

"Click it, she looks cute, and the two are okay, I'm sure Mega cream will pick the one she pouted" Mr Ronald said with a smile and the photographer clicked the camera.

"You did well Evelyn, the second shoot will be after an hour" Mr Ronald said, people clap and Mr Ronald was about to leave

"Lunch treat on me!" Evelyn said and Mr Ronald walked back to them, the workers all laughed.

If there is another thing Mr Ronald likes after his work, then it is good.

They all drove to a restaurant in the company bus.

They arrived at the Value restaurant.

Each table has two chairs, it's you and your partner and it's designed in red and white.

"Wtf, how are we supposed to sit? This restaurant is for couples," One of the trainees said.

A girl rushed to them.

"You can have your seat, but we are sorry, the chairs are designed for couples because it's Valentine's Day.

"Fuck, we all forgot already that it's february 14" Mr Ronald said.

"Well, I know," Nathan said and maintained eye contact with Amber.

"Is that why you drop this flower when Amber falls down and you are wearing white shirt and red pants, so cute!" A trainee added.

Amber looks at him and Nathan prays for the ground to open and swallow him.

"Happy Valentine's, everyone," Evelyn shouted.

"Am I not seeing clearly, Miss aren't you the popular model Evelyn Brown or am I seeing the whole ANNING?" The waitress asked.

"Of course, would you like to take my autograph or I should snap a picture with you?" Evelyn asked.

"Oh, thank you, you are so nice and happy 21 birthday" The waitress said and ANNING team gasp.

"We don't remember our goddess' birthday, happy birthday Evelyn," Mr Ronald said, hugging her.

"I have even forgotten my birthday," Evelyn said, breaking the hug.

"So that means today is my prince charming, Drake's birthday, he always celebrates his birthday on sis day, gosh can't wait to greet him" Amber said and the people ignore while Nathan feels sad.

"So, all bills on the birthday girl" Mr Ronald said to Evelyn as ANNING team took turns in hugging her.

Happy birthday, sis!

More popularity, role model!

Young forever, happy birthday!

Happy birthday, ANNING goddess!

Pray to see your face as an American goddess cuz you are ANNING goddess already!

With many wishes, Evelyn's smile, she classified the ANNING team as her family.

"Thank you, everyone," Evelyn replied happily.

"Where is the waitress?" Mr Ronald asked.

"Here sir!" She said coming with a man.

"We are happy to have you in our restaurant today and we are happy to even have Miss Evelyn here and all bills on value restaurant because it's her birthday and Valentine" The owner of the Value restaurant said.

"Oh, we really appreciate it and I will repay this favour by advertising your restaurant for five months at no charge," Evelyn replied with a smile.

"Thank you so much Miss Evelyn and happy birthday" The owner of the restaurant replied.

"So you can come anytime you are ready, even tomorrow," Mr Ronald added.

"Sis, can I snap with you now?" The waitress asked.

"Sure darling!" Evelyn replied.

The staff and the owner of the Value restaurant all snapped with Evelyn and the ANNING team and they left to bring their orders.

"Since the table is for two, why don't we chill, I, the boss lady, will set you up with your partner, rest!" Evelyn said with a smile and they saluted her playfully.

She starts to matchmake until Amber, Nathan and Mr Ronald remain.

Amber was praying to be matchmake with Mr Ronald.

"Amber and Nathan!" Evelyn said and Amber's eyes widened.

"Sis, no!" She shouted but Evelyn ignored her by winking at Nathan.

Mr Ronald sat down and Evelyn sat beside him tiredly after the whole matchmaking.

"I want to tell you something!" Mr Ronald said, looking at Evelyn.
