Chapter 3: Representing Her Company
Dernière mise à jour:
2024-12-04 19:38:16*Five Years Later*
It was a cold morning in Icon Models, one of the biggest modeling firms in Canada.
A lady probably in her late forties could be seen sitting in her office while going through some files on her computer.
Suddenly a soft knock was heard from outside, causing her to turn her gaze towards the door.
"Who is that?" She asked while raising her voice a little bit so that the person that is knocking could hear her voice.
"It's me," a female voice sounded from outside.
"Come in, please," the lady instructed, and with that, the door burst open, revealing a young lady who was no one else than Amelia.
"Good morning, Mrs. Cassandra," Amelia greeted the lady with a warm smile as she walked into the office.
"Good morning, Amelia, please have a seat," Mrs. Cassandra, who was the owner of the firm, said to Amelia as she pointed at the chair opposite her, and with that, Amelia walked to the chair and sat down.
"So how was your vacation?" Mrs. Cassandra asked Amelia after she sat down.
"It was perfect, Mrs. Cassandra," Amelia said to her with a warm smile.
"I'm happy to hear that," Mrs. Cassandra said to Amelia, who still had a warm smile hovering over her face.
"Well, the reason why I called you is to inform you that our company was invited to participate in this year's international modeling competition." Mrs. Cassandra announced to Amelia.
"Wow, that's really good news," Amelia said to her.
"Yes, that's good news, but that's not all," Mrs. Cassandra said to Amelia, who furrowed her brows in anticipation, waiting for the next good news.
"Well, the main good news is you are the one chosen to represent the company this year," Mrs. Cassandra said to Amelia, who widened her eyes in surprise.
"Really!!" She exclaimed, not minding how loud her voice was.
Like every other model, it has always been her dream to participate in this competition, and for the past two years, she graduated from modeling school and started working in the company. She has dedicated herself completely to her work, hoping that she will get the opportunity to be invited to represent the company.
"Yes, Amelia, your hard work and determination since you started working in this company have been visible to everyone, and that's why you were voted for, so you deserve it," Mrs. Cassandra said to Amelia with a warm smile.
"Thank you so much, Mrs. Cassandra. I really appreciate this, and I promise I won't disappoint you," Amelia said to her with a determined tone.
"I know you won't disappoint me, Amelia," Mrs. Cassandra said to her with a reassuring tone.
"So when and where is the competition taking place?" Amelia asked her.
"Well, the competition is in a week's time, and it will be taking place in New York City," Mrs. Cassandra announced to Amelia, and immediately the smile on her face disappeared.
"New York City?" She muttered as the memories of everything that had happened five years ago came back playing in her head.
"Yes, New York City, hope you are okay with that? If it's not okay with you, we can choose someone else to represent the company for this year; maybe next year you can represent us. . Cassandra said to Amelia, seeing how her facial expression changed when she made mention of where the competition was going to take place.
"Can I think about it?" Amelia asked her with a pleading tone.
"Yes, of course, but just know that you have up to tomorrow morning to think about it. If I don't get any positive reply from you before tomorrow morning, I will choose someone else," Mrs. Cassandra said to Amelia, who nodded in reply before standing up.
"Thank you so much, Mrs. Cassandra," Amelia said to her before standing up and walking out of the office with thousands of thoughts running through her mind.

"Come on, Amelia, how could you refuse such an opportunity?" Sarah's displeased voice sounded through the phone.
Getting back home, Amelia, not knowing what to do, decided to call her best friend and ask for her advice.
"I didn't reject it; I only asked for some time to think about it," Amelia said to Sarah through the phone.
"Amelia, you have worked so hard for this, and I don't think it's a good idea to allow something that happened five years ago to ruin everything for you," Sarah said to Amelia through the phone, and with that, she heaved a sigh, still not knowing what to do.
"And by the way, for how long are you planning to keep Dave away from his father? If you ask me, I will tell you to accept and represent your company, and you will also use the opportunity to present Dave to his father; you won't want him to hate you in the future for keeping him away from his father," Sarah said to Amelia through the phone.
"Well, you are right, Sarah, but what if he takes him away from me?" Amelia asked Sarah with a helpless tone.
"He can't do that, Lia. Dave is still five years old, and even if he takes you to court, his custody will be granted to you," Sarah said to Amelia, who sighed heavily once again.
"Okay, I will represent my company. Thanks so much for the advice," Amelia said to her, her tone filled with gratitude.
"Don't mention it, bestie; I can't wait to see you," Sarah said to Amelia before hanging up the call.
Once the call was hung up, Amelia heaved a sigh before placing a call to Mr. Cassandra, who picked up after some minutes of ringing.
'Hello, Amelia," Mrs. Cassandra's voice sounded through the phone as she picked up the call.
"Hello, Mr. Cassandra, I have made up my mind; I will be representing the company," Amelia said to her through the phone.
"Okay, that's good then. You will be flying to New York City first thing tomorrow morning; your ticket and every other thing needed for the competition will be sent to you earlier this afternoon," Mrs. Cassandra said to Amelia through the phone.
"Okay, I will be expecting it," Amelia said to her before hanging up the call, and at the same time a car drove into the mansion, and from the corridor where she was standing, she could clearly see her son Dave, who got down from the car, and immediately their gaze met; he smiled at Amelia.
Seeing his handsome little face that was an exact replica of his father's face, Amelia swallowed hard.
After all these years she was finally going to meet him again.

"Well actually, I want us to get back together," Brian said to Amelia after some minutes of silence."What?" Amelia asked him as she immediately choked on her food.____________________________"Hey, take it easy, please," Brian said to Amelia as he quickly grabbed the cup of water on the table and handed it to Amelia, and with that, Amelia took it from him and immediately gulped it down."Thank you so much. "I'm sorry about that, by the way," Amelia said to him after gulping the water down."Come on, Amelia, there's no need to apologise; normally I'm the one who should be apologising to you. I shouldn't have brought up the issue while we were still eating," Brian said to Amelia apologetically."That's okay. What were you saying, by the way?" Amelia asked Brian as she began eating her food once again."Are you sure we shouldn't wait until we are done eating?" Brian asked Amelia."There's no need for that; you can say whatever you want to say while we are still eating. I won't choke on

After the commotion caused by Mira in the dressing room, it was finally time for the photoshoot to begin.In the room where the photoshoot was taking place, the cameraman could be seen giving instructions to the models on how to pose as he snapped their pictures in different outfits alone and later on with Brian. After some while, it was finally Amelia's turn, and just like the other contestants, the initial shots were taken alone, and after each shot, she changed into another outfit that was provided by the organisers of the competition.As the shoots were going on, the cameraman couldn't help but admire how all the outfits she was putting on fitted her perfectly, and unlike the other models, the cameraman wasn't even the one telling her how to pose while the shoots were going on; it was as if the cameraman had already told her how to pose beforehand, but that wasn't the case.Being a professional model, shooting photos was something Amelia does on a regular basis, so she doesn't ne

After some minutes, the staff who had left to call some of her colleagues returned back accompanied by three other staff, and with that, they began searching the bags of all the models in the dressing room. After searching the bags of some of the models in which they didn't find the necklace, it finally got to Amelia's turn, and with that, she nonchalantly handed her bag to the staff who wanted to search it. Meanwhile, Mira, on seeing that Amelia's bag was about to be searched, couldn't help but grin ear to ear as if she was already sure that the necklace would be found in Amelia's bag.Some of the models, on seeing the reassuring look on Mira's face, were immediately convinced that the necklace would be found in Amelia's bag, and to get on Mira's good side, some of them secretly took their phones and started filming the scene, as they knew that if they managed to get the video of where the necklace Amelia denied stealing was found in her bag and then give it to Mira, they would sure

"And here we go again with your long story excuse," Sandra said to Amelia, and at the same time Mira's angry voice resounded through the whole dressing room."Who the hell stole the diamond necklace that I left in my bag?" Mira asked while glaring angrily at Amelia as if her question was addressed directly to her. ____________________________________"I said, who the hell stole my diamond necklace?" Mira's angry voice resounded through the room once again as no one gave her a reply. At the same time, one of the staff who had come to call them as the competition was about to begin walked into the dressing room."Mrs Richard, please, what is going on?" the staff asked Mira as she heard her angry voice as she was walking inside."Someone has stolen the diamond necklace that I left in my bag. I wanted to put it on during the photoshoots, and now I can't find it, and I'm very sure that Amelia was the one who took it," Mira said to the staff while glaring angrily at Amelia, and with that
Mr. Edward's Substitute Bride Chapter 46: The Guest Model
When Amelia was done with her make-up, she was surprised to see that none of the models who had left earlier had returned, and the noise that was coming from outside hadn't also stopped; instead, it had even gotten louder.Sighing heavily, she arranged her makeup kits inside her handbag before heading outside to see why the other models hadn't returned yet and what was also the cause of the commotion outside.Getting outside, Amelia was surprised to see many reporters surrounding a man whose face she couldn't see because of the crowd around him, including the reporters.Not knowing what was going on, Amelia walked towards Sandra, hoping she would explain to her what exactly was going on."Hey, what's with all this commotion?" Amelia asked Sandra as she got closer to her."Well, the guest model has just arrived, and it seems like the reporters and his fans learnt that he will be showing up this morning, so they came ahead of him to welcome him and to also get his autograph," Sandra sai

"Mrs Jones, you are late," the staff said to Amelia, who was still panting heavily._________________________"Yes, I know, and I'm so sorry; I had some complications while coming," Amelia said to the staff while still panting heavily."What complications?" The staff asked Amelia with furrowed brows."Well, sincerely speaking, I can't recount everything to you right now; it's a very long story, but believe me, it was never my intention to come late. I left my house very early, but along the road, I had some issue with the taxi driver," Amelia said to the staff, who nodded in reply."Well, since it's your first time coming late, I will take your word for what it is, but I hope it will also be the last time. Mind you that when selecting the winners of the competition, little things like punctuality are also taken into consideration by the judges," the staff said to Amelia before marking her name on the register she was holding."Thank you so much," Amelia said to the staff with a warm s
