She did lowly jobs before, like swiping the floor with her bare hands and even cleaning someone’s bathroom. But those jobs were easier to do than being humiliated like this. But she got no other choice.Her hands were about to touch the lace of her sandals when someone grabbed her hand. And pulled her up angrily.“What do you think you’re doing?!” he asked, raising his voice. Their director, Justin just roared like a lion inside that very room.“Direc

The rolls of fabrics were still in her arms, as she went near him.“You got some serious headache, huh?”But deep inside her, she felt guilty. Everyone is getting busier since the day their model, Bianca, rejected to return. Almost all of them were getting headaches because of the stress. They were rushing everything to meet the deadline.“Well. It’s been like this for a couple of days now. But don’t worry, darling. It’s always like this with the last two weeks before the events.” France looked at her. “You were watching the models’ auditions?”She nodded.“What can you say about it?”“Miss Hanna sure is strict. She was really looking for a perfect figure and a walking mannequin for the show.”“Did someone cry already?”“I guess so. Almost.”“I always told her not to act like that. She will be getting more wrinkles because of that.” France took a sigh.“So, any

You’re second.” Lumiere tilted his head and started thinking. “But I think you’re now third.”“What was that?” Gwendolyn squinted her eyes.“Nothing…” her kid whistled.“Tell me. Who’s your second prettiest girl now?” Gwendolyn crossed her hands.That made Ria laugh.“Oh. So our little man is now having his first crush.”Lumiere blushed.“Stop teasing me.

She was ready for the self-introduction but the head of their department never spoke more of who they are and what is their job.Even Ashley gave her a confusing look like asking her “Is that it? It feels like we won’t feel at home here.”Ashley was an average tall young lady around her age. Her vibes are so bright with the rainbow dress she wears. Even her curly hair was full of rainbow clips.Their department head, Miss Hanna, faced her.
