Giselle invited Evangeline Rutherford to join the group.
At first, Eva doubted whether she should accept Giselle's request to join the group chat room that might have been created a long time ago. Who was she that she was suddenly in their social circle? To be honest, Eva was happy to be well received by the three of them.
After Max's return, she just wanted to rest because she knew she had a long day ahead of her. She couldn't even close her eyes, her thoughts were focused on Giselle's messages on her cell phone.
(Giselle: Why haven't you answered for so long?)
(Giselle: Are you asleep yet? Ah, I'm sure Brina's stepmother has tortured you to death. I am very sorry for your fate, Eva.)
Eva couldn't help but laugh. Her hand involuntarily replied to Giselle's message.
[Evangeline.R: You're right. Brina is a little cruel.]
Giselle replied with lots of rolling eye emoticons.
(Giselle: Hurry up and accept my request to join the grou
“Your work today was truly extraordinary, Giselle. All the photo shoots went perfectly and I think everyone involved in this project agrees that you are shining brighter than ever.”Giselle just chuckled lightly. She received a bottle of mineral water in her hands, which she immediately drank without hesitation. The midday heat was really scorching, burning the skin and leaving a thirst that never went away. Tiana, her loyal assistant, immediately came with a large umbrella, shading the model's head from the excruciating heat.I just observed from a distance.They praised her. As if everything was perfect. But behind the dazzling light of the camera flash, there was something that the outside spotlight couldn't digest. I knew her well enough to know that Giselle's smile didn't always mean happiness.“Thank you. You guys worked really hard today too. I feel very comfortable,” Giselle said with a big, warm smile while still keeping her distance. She is a star who knows how to shine, but
Actually, I never wanted to get back in Maximilian Von Ziegler's car. I refused many times, but he always managed to find a loophole to get me to sit in the passenger seat next to him. Including covert methods, almost resembling threats, regarding my performance in training sessions in the past few days. Even though I still clearly remember how Brina and Nico sincerely praised me. That I had crossed a line that I had previously been unable to cross.But still, I chose to remain silent. Refraining from the complaints that wanted so badly to come out of these lips—because in the end, this was the path I chose for myself. There was no turning back. I had already paved the road behind me. Besides, even if I turned back, the question of how I would support myself would always loom.“At the end of the road, there is a fairly popular bakery. Would you like to stop by?” Max asked, breaking the thick silence between us.This time, I preferred to silence my voice. Not because I was reluctant to
The floor-sweeping long dress studded with Swarovski crystals hugged Giselle's slender body perfectly—as if designed just for her. The cut of the dress depicted every curve of her body with deadly elegance. I knew that tonight, all the spotlight would be on her. Giselle was a star. And tonight, the stage belonged to her.I have witnessed countless similar scenes. But for some reason, every time she steps out in such a dazzling outfit, I am overcome with envy and admiration. She is too striking to ignore, and I know that Giselle's presence is a stinging surprise to everyone.“Are you sure this isn't an exaggeration?” she asked, fixing her hair in a neat bun, like a goddess from an ancient painting. ‘It's just a regular gala dinner, isn't it?”I—Evangeline Rutherford—smiled slightly. ’It may be just an ordinary dinner to you. But believe me, your presence will make it extraordinary.”She sighed softly, then clicked her tongue. “All right, let's go. I don't like to linger there.”A young
Nothing was more enjoyable for Evangeline Rutherford as she stepped through the lobby of Giselle's unit. Her steps were not as fast as usual, her body felt crushed due to the intensive training schedule ahead of this weekend. But she still came, fulfilling her promise to make healthy snacks for her three friends.In the midst of fatigue that gnawed at her joints, Eva's lips remained thinly curved. None of the pain could match the warmth she felt because there was someone waiting for her arrival.Just yesterday she wore various dresses, one after another. Accessories with intricate details and heavy wrapped around her body. It is said that the training aims to improve balance when walking on the catwalk. But what she wore was not just any object. A crown, with strands of crystal as clear as dew, was placed on her head. A crown that Brina herself called an original work, made of Swarovski crystals, gold-plated and other precious gems.Imagine if I slipped, Eva thought at the time, not o
Isadora put down her wine glass with a smile that wouldn't go away. Her eyes looked joyfully at the interlocutor who had just given her important information.“You can always count on me, Aunt Samantha.”The middle-aged woman smiled proudly. “I'd be much happier if you could count on me.”“Why should I refuse your help?” Isadora giggled. ‘You've always supported me for a long time, Auntie. How could I just forget about you?”Samantha waved her hands with a blushing face. ’I always felt that you were the most suitable wife for Roderick, not that burden of a woman. Why would my stupid niece just accept it?”The smile on Isadora's face vanished, replaced by a sad and sorrowful gaze. Her shoulders drooped weakly as if Samantha's words had really hurt her badly. “Rick said he did it reluctantly.”“You're right. It was all because of Marguerite's persuasion! That woman is just like Evangeline. Just a burden on the Langley family. Unfortunately, our grandfather, Kenneth Langley, really liked
“Aren't you asleep yet, Giselle?“ asked Harvey, who, when he woke up, saw his friend on the balcony. Alone enjoying the night.“Ah, not sleepy yet.” Giselle turned and gave a smile, even though her hand immediately grasped her warm chocolate cup. A sign that she was surprised by Harvey's arrival. “Why did you wake up?”“Thirsty,“ Harvey replied, narrowing his eyes suspiciously. ‘Did something bother you?’ He chose to approach Giselle, who was still loyal to her position.“Nothing.” Giselle shook her head immediately, still displaying the best smile she had. Their work resumed on Monday. They didn't want their mood to be ruined because of what Giselle was holding in—even though... she couldn't bear to be silent.The girl chose to leave Harvey because she was sure that her best friend would not let her go easily. She didn't want to be asked many questions about what she was feeling. Really, it was so annoying.“You're not the kind of person who brags like that, Giselle. It takes a skill
Evangeline took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. Once again she made sure that the dress she was wearing was appropriate, that none of the accessories were loose, including the straps of her heels this time. The training session was coming to an end and she had to master the stage immediately. Brina said that Evangeline was making fewer and fewer mistakes.Brina herself was surprised that Evangeline was so quick to master what she was directing. Could it be because of the week Evangeline spent with the three noisy models? If she could bring about such drastic changes, maybe Brina would loosen up the training time a little. Three days had passed and Evangeline really amazed her. Oh, it wasn't just Brina who was amazed, but Nico too. Many angels can be taken from various camera angles, and as a model who already has a lot of experience, Evangeline is able to do it.“I'm ready,” said Evangeline after making sure everything was worn properly. Her confidence was always at its maximum limi
Evangeline took a deep breath as soon as Marguerite Langley's car pulled out of her garage. Her thoughts were suddenly full and fatigue was eating away at her remaining energy. “I didn't think Rick was really that crazy.”But just as she was about to step back into the house, her eyes caught sight of the red car she knew so well. As well as the figure getting out of it.“Am I interrupting?” he asked innocently.The intimidating glare and the undeniably commanding voice were gone. Evangeline recognized that tone as Max's annoying one.“If I said I was interrupting, you would have forced your way in.” Evangeline hissed angrily, then opened the gate again with a single push. “Come in. By the way, Mommy Rita brought you a cake. You'll like it.”“Your ex-in-law?”A slight grin formed on Evangeline's lips. ”I can't think of it that way. We had a good relationship long before my marriage.”“But can I enjoy the cake with a cup of coffee? You know, I've been stressed out this afternoon.”Evang
The days passed quickly. Practice after practice that Evangeline went through made her more confident and much calmer about her nervousness. She had tried various styles of clothing just to smooth her steps on the catwalk. Brina even deliberately created an outdoor area so that Evangeline would also be accustomed to facing all the bad possibilities that could happen during the show.Although Brina said it was very unlikely, there was no harm in preparing.“I don't think I need to worry too much,” Brina said as she handed over a bottle of mineral water. The last training session was over. A look of joy and relief was clearly visible on Evangeline's face.“I'm trying my best, Brina. Without you I am nothing.”Brina laughed. “Say that after all the events are over, Eva. This is just the beginning, there will be many stages to go through until you are safe.”Evangeline laughed. Enjoying the refreshing water as it moistened her throat. Some people were busy tidying up the rest of their tra
