GOLDEN GIRL CHAPTER 53
Shay's POVThe next morning, Chase texted me the coffee shop's address where Jason had agreed to meet me and after reading the text, I got this weird nervous fluttery feeling inside my stomach. I kept reminding myself along the drive that I'm only meeting up with Jason and there is absolutely nothing to feel worried or nervous about. But the feeling never went away and it remains with me till I finally arrived at the coffee shop and parked my car before going inside. 'Chika' is the name of the place, with mahogany interior inside, bookshelves aligned in one corner, green couches placed on the side with decorating vines raining down the white painted walls and a big red neon sign behind the counter that says 'Mama's coffee is the best'Since it's still early in the morning, there like 5 to 8 people sitting inside and as soon as I walked in, the smell of freshly brewed coffee suddenly greets me. I sat in a booth near the door and ordered mysel

Shay's POVThe days quickly flew by and Jason and I regularly meet up to discuss the next steps of the plan. Things were slowly starting to progress in a positive way and our cosmetic products received a great profit rate this week and I felt more than happy when I checked the feedback report from the duty-free stores in San Francisco International Airport. Our plan is slowly working and I'm learning a few things from the guideline that Jason gave me and everything about becoming an executive director is nothing I can't handle. Yet, the way Shelby described her job was like a huge burden that she's secretly trying to get rid of. It's no wonder why she wanted Shawn's position in the company so bad.Sometimes I stayed late at the office just to finish my share of work in a day and then later work on my SFO project. I kept checking the deadlines, review the weekly reports, read the feedback and replied to pending emails sent from business clien

It was just the right of makeup to make me look pretty for today.

Jason's POVI was a little surprised why Shelby Falcon called me in the middle of the day asking if we can meet and since our meetings are usually included in my everyday schedule, I'd say that this one was a bit weird. After my appointment with my client from a special advertisement company based in Japan, I drove straight to Falcon.Grp to see Shelby. As soon as I arrived, I went straight up to her office and her secretary greeted me with a nod before I went inside her office after the secretary informed her through the phone about my arrival.She was sitting on the armchair in the middle of the room, drinking something from the white china cup in her hand. I sat down in front of her and unbutton the front of my suit jacket while she stared at me with a serious look on her face."Congratulations on that new Japan investment. I'm really impressed with how you managed to get Aoki Uzi to sign the deal."

Shay's POVI arrived back home and handed the keys to our butler to park my car back in the garage before slowly going inside the house. When I walked past the living room, I saw mom sitting inside with a glass of green colored juice in her hand and a book about healthy lifestyle on the other. She caught me staring at her and then motioned for me to go inside. I walked towards her and sat down on the couch in front of her and gave her a small smile. After my meltdown the other day, we haven't spoken to each other since then and to think we're now on good terms would be unbelievable. It's not like I'm expecting to get along with her now but let's just see how this conversation goes."I invited Chef Di Angelo tonight, I've been craving for Italian dishes for quite some time now. Are you okay with Italian cuisine for dinner tonight?"I nodded and looked away."Yeah. I'm okay with anything."

He offered to pick me up from home so I quickly left my office and hurried home to get ready. After showering, I picked out a dark emerald dress from my closet along with a pair of black high heels. I put on my outfit and then sat down in front of my vanity to do my makeup, then after I'm done, I slipped on my heels and grabbed my purse lying on top of my bed before leaving my room.My parents were sitting quietly inside the living room and dad was aimless staring at the tablet in his hands while mom was sitting across from him reading a book with a wine glass in her hand. She looked up when she saw me and she winked at me causing me to smile. Dad suddenly looks up and he frowned upon seeing me all dressed up and ready to head out but he didn't say a word and looked back at the screen of his tab

As I sit here, reflecting on the whirlwind of events that have unfolded in my life, it's hard to believe how much has changed in such a short span of time. Traveling, modeling, and chasing my dreams have taken on a whole new meaning. Vincent, with his enigmatic presence, crashed into my world like a silent storm, shaking up everything I thought I knew. And truth be told, I'm grateful for that unexpected collision.Before Vincent entered the picture, my life revolved around two things: traveling and my modeling career. I was passionate about both, but I had always approached them with a certain level of detachment, keeping myself at arm's length from truly embracing the experiences that lay before me. I was lost in a robotic existence, constantly pushing myself beyond my limits to maintain an illusion of perfection, covering up the cracks within me, all for the sake of fame and the spotlight.But Vincent ch

Shanelle POVAs I sat behind the wheel of my car, driving down the bustling city streets, my mind was consumed by thoughts of Vincent. It had been two long days since we had last seen each other, those fleeting moments when he and Dan dropped us off at our hotel, leaving without much of a goodbye. Yet, despite the brevity of our encounter, I couldn't shake him from my thoughts.Did he think of me too? Was he caught in a whirlwind of memories and emotions just as I was? These questions tumbled through my mind, blending with the cacophony of car horns and the distant hum of city life. The uncertainty gnawed at me, twisting my heart in knots.

Shanelle POVI stepped into the safe house, the familiar scent of home welcoming me. The adrenaline from the day's events was finally subsiding as I closed the door behind me. We had made it back safely, and a sense of relief washed over me.

GOLDEN GIRL CHAPTER 9
Shanelle POVI sat on my bed the next morning, clutching my phone tightly in my hands. The screen displayed a seemingly never-ending stream of notifications, each one more anxiety-inducing than the last. My heart raced as I watched my video from the frat party trend across social media platforms. It was as if people couldn't get enough of it, sharing it from one corner of the internet to another. And with each share, a flood of comments and feedback poured in, all directed at me.I had worked so hard to maintain my "perfect" reputation. People saw me as a walking embodiment of flawlessness, and I had meticulously crafted that image. But now, this video threatened to expose the cracks in my carefully constructed facade. It made me feel vulnerable and exposed to the judgment of others, and it terrified me.
GOLDEN GIRL CHAPTER 8
Shanelle POVAs the anticipation built up inside me, I glanced at the clock on my bedroom wall. It was already 9:00 p.m., and I hurriedly surveyed myself in the mirror, making sure every detail of my outfit was just right.I had opted for a sleek black dress that hugged my curves in all the right places. Its off-the-shoulder design added a touch of sophistication, while the knee-length skirt showcased a playful edge. I paired it with strappy heels that elongated my legs and completed the look with a statement necklace and a bold red lip. I couldn't help but feel confident in this ensemble.Beatrice and Kayleen burst into my room with equally limited excitement for tonight's mission or whatever they wanted to call it. They looked stunning in their own dis
