Seeing the look on her face, I looked away, averting my eyes from hers. Thinking she would take a step, and just walk away but surprisingly she didn't, I looked up to see Bella looking down at me. “ Why do I feel so small with her looking down at me” I whispered to myself and then stood up from the seat, arrange my clothes and made to take a step forward but Bella blocked my way."Fancy seeing you here, Selena!” Bella said, but I said nothing. I moved to walk the other way but Bella blocked me again.“I wonder what you could possibly have to talk to Dr. Andrew about. He must be very busy already with all his important patients in his list." “I'm sure whatever it is, it's none of your business.” I respond, dismissing Bella‘s remark.“ Well….!”Lisa and I met Bella in College in our first year, we became friends and we decided to become three best friends Forever but then it never worked out, Bella and I fell out after three years of friendship. Although she's still friends with Lisa,
As soon as Jasper asked what Mr Zack does, I couldn't move or say a word. Telling Jasper, Mr Zack is actually Colin might bring up issues. “ Are you still there?” Jasper interrupted my thoughts. “ Yes…Ehmm he's a game developer, yes a game developer” I answered, hoping he wouldn't get caught on with that, I know his aware of Colin being an App developer. “ Oh, have you finalized everything with him?” Jasper pressed. “ No, not yet!” I whispered trying to think of a way out, I really don't want to hide it from Jasper but then again I can't tell him the truth. “ We haven't finalized it,” I added. “ Alright, and I really don't want to be away from you Selena but now I got no choice” Jasper said all of a sudden, but then went silent. And I said nothing. “ I almost forgot, with Vera’s help I was able to find out that one of the photographers is actually Colin's friend, I mean the guy with met with him at the restaurant named David. and funny enough I didn't notice it, at first I won
Colin walked off and I sat there losts in thoughts for some minutes before gradually eating my meal. I was about finishing my meal when one of the staff walked to me.. “ Miss Kings, the car is ready, Miss Rachael and Mr Martins are waiting for us at Luxe Scents. “ Okay” I replied, stood up and we both walked to the car, soon the car Zoomed off. We arrived at Luxe Scents and I was greeted by the CEO Mr Martins. Who showed me the fragrance I would be modeling. And soon we went on with the contract signing.i “ You would be Luxe Scents model for the next Six months, you can choose to make it a year if you want” Mr Martins explained. “ I’ll go for the six months plan first, but will I be in Paris for the next six months?” I asked, and immediately stole glances at Rachael who shaked her head and Mr Martins continued. “ No, miss Kings, you’ll go back to Boston Hills, But you will need to come to Paris anytime we need you as a model, that's the essence of the contract!” “ Oh, okay”
Immediately I pushed Colin away from me and landed him a slap. “ I told you we aren't a thing, I'm here right now because you are one of the company's clients, you called Rachael to arrange this meeting as a CLIENT” I emphasized, “don't cross your boundaries Colin and get that into that head of yours!" I spat. Colin placed his hand on his cheeks and I could see the shock in his eyes. " But you forgave me when I apologized," Colin explained, trying to move forwards to touch me. " Don't get your sticky hands on me" I spat. " You apologized for dragging me on the day I got discharged from the hospital, that's it. I’m here right now because you are a Client. I'm literally emphasizing on the word Client right now, don't forget that!” “I'll leave now” I added, and walked out of the restaurant, I got outside, stood at the road side and kept waving at passing Taxis but none were stopping, i waited for 15 minutes but there were none passing by.I took out my phone and checked the GPS of my
On hearing what the leader said, I stood behind Colin frozen in fright, I stood there watching with bated breath, my heart pounding as the leader moved steps closer to Colin.“You’re not as tough as you think, youngman” the leader smirked and blew a breeze on his knife, sending shivers through my spine.“I don’t need to be tough,” Colin replied, standing tall, and strong. “I just need to be tough enough to save her from you.” Colin added and immediately, Colin lunged forward, catching the leader by surprise grabbing his hand as he grappled for control over the knife.Through the struggle, Colin punched the leader to make him free his hold on the knife but he didn't, surprisingly the other men moved backwards on sighting blood oozing out of their leader's nose. “Don’t just stand there,” the leader shouted at his men as he struggled with Colin. “Get her!” he yelled angrily. On hearing that, I looked up at the rest of the men and they started walking closer to me. One of the men rushe
“What?" I asked, surprised by what Lisa just told me, I recall Zack said he is single then how..?, I mean How…? Did he end up getting a girlfriend so soon, how? He just arrived at Boston hills."Are you sure it was Zack? Maybe you just saw someone who looked like him, it does happen.” "No Selena, I'm sure it was him," Lisa responds. "I mean, I didn't want to jump to conclusions when I saw them, but they were holding hands and laughing together. It looked like they were on a date or something."My jaw dropped. "This can't be happening. I mean, I know Zack is still single, how?.""I don't know what to think anymore Selena, he said so himself that day,how can he lead me on, I can't believe he would become a two timer!” Lisa added, I could hear her sniff her tears in.“I’m sorry, Selena. I know you were hoping and was about trying to help me get together with Zack, but it's really complicated now. It seems like Zack isn't interested, sorry I made you go through that,” Lisa replied and I
“ I..I mean…Are the staff awake yet?” I asked, chuckling awkwardly.Rachael sighed “ Miss Kings I don't know what you are talking about, but one thing I know is, get a grip of yourself, you seem lost minded right now”.She continued,“ Today is the last Shoot, And A male model will be introduced!”“ A male what?”“ A male model, so you need to finish your shoots early before he arrives".Rachael said, turned and was about walking out but then stopped.“ I almost forgot,” she turned over. “ how did it go with Mr Zack last night?” Rachael asked.“ Mr Zack! Ehmm..., It went well,” i replied, “Mr Zack and I, discussed the characters for the game and some other details needed.” I lied.Rachael nodded, not suspecting a thing. “Well, that’s great."Rachael glances at her watch again, her expression so serious now. “You have a meeting with Mr Martins Company fashion designer this morning to try out the new clothes for today's shoot,” she said. “You should get ready now.”I nodded and stood up
“ What?” I asked still in disbelief, I recall telling Mr martins to find someone else a Paris model why this?. “ Mr Martins, like I said ….”“ Miss Kings” Rachael interrupted my speech and took my hand, pulling me aside. “ Miss Kings, I mean I should talk casually right now, Selena this is the only way this can work, Mr martins couldn't find a Male model despite talking on several calls for almost an hour, and also you can't tell the company what to do, you just needs to accept it, this is how it works.” Rachael explained.I looked up at Rachael,and I understood what she meant, but being in a close space with Colin like last night!, I shouldn’t allow that. “I don't have to do this,” I replied.“Look, Miss Kings, the company has the final say,” she said. “And frankly, you need to make this work. If you don't play nice, they could replace you. Do you really want to risk that? The Flight to Paris, your accommodation here, and meals here was all paid, canceling it all, you’ll need to ref
