View MoreFor some reason, I'm nervous about seeing my face. I open my eyes slowly and what I see utters me speechless.This isn't me.This can't be me.I turn disbelieving eyes to her. "Uhn uhn, you got that right sugar. That, is what I meant by real reaction.""Darcy, what did you do?" I gasp as I stare at my reflection in the mirror.Darcy beams with pride as she steps back to admire her handiwork. "I just enhanced your natural beauty, Mia. You look stunning!"I can't believe what I was seeing. My eyes appear brighter, my skin is glowing, and my features seem more defined. I look like a completely different person, yet still unmistakably myself."I can't believe this is me," I say, still in awe.Darcy chuckles. "Believe it, girlfriend. You've got the looks and the attitude to pull off anything."I smile, feeling a newfound confidence wash over me. I never thought of myself as a model, but seeing myself in a different light makes me realize that maybe I have been selling myself short."Thanks
"Come on, Mia. I've been asking you to do this for me for ages, can't you indulge me just once?"That's true though, she's been asking me to model for her for years now. She made some beautiful pieces using my measurements, and she's refused to make them for someone else so they can model the designs for her instead of me.I don't really want my face to be out there though. "I'd do it Dee, but I don't want my face to be out there.""How about this? I've been thinking on it for a while, I just didn't want to distract you with the exams and stuff. Let's do a faceless shoot. We'd take pictures of you without revealing your face."Hmmm, I can do that right?"Let's do it then.""Mia please just this_wait, what? You'd do it? You'd model my designs?" "Anything for you, Dee."It's her turn to scream now, silly girl, her's is louder than mine.She hugs me so fiercely we both fall to the ground. She doesn't mind and starts raining kisses on my face."Eeww! Stop it. My face belongs to one perso
"Good afternoon, Mia, I'm John Rowland. Please sit" the HR Manager begins, smiling warmly. "We're so glad you could join us today. Please, tell us a little bit about yourself and why you're interested in working for our company."I take a deep breath and begin to speak, my words coming out in a steady stream. "I just graduated from UCLA with a degree in Business Administration. I've always been interested in the real estate industry, and I believe that D.B Group would be the perfect place for me to gain experience and start my career."The Sales Manager nods in agreement. "That's great to hear, Mia. Can you give us an example of a time when you demonstrated excellent communication skills?"My stomach knots with nerves, but I think back to a project I worked on during my final semester of university. "I was part of a team that presented a marketing plan for a product to the class. I took on the role of presenting, and I made sure to practice my delivery and communicate the key points
We're both quiet on our way back. The only time we conversed was when I told him he doesn't have to take me home, he just said "it's fine" and that was the end of that conversation.Now that we're alone again, the nerves come back. I'm so aware of his presence."What's on your mind?" His voice startles me. I don't say anything for some seconds, I must look like a fool right now."Nothing," I say."I don't bite, you know. You don't have to be so rigid.""Yes sir." My freaking nerves. Damien raises one brow at me."Yes Damien," I correct. "Better. You were cool tonight, it was your first time wasn't it?" I can't form words right now, I just nod."The next time we have to do a work thing, I'll like to take you along. Maybe introduce you to some people."Oh my goodness."When you say next time, does that mean_""Yes. Come in for your interview tomorrow. I know you'd be good, but I can't hire you without following protocols. That won't be good for me, but it especially won't be good for yo
I turn in my seat to see Damien stand up and make his way to the podium.Are you shitting me right now? He's delivering a speech? How did I not know that? He could have at least mention it."Good evening, everyone. I'm Damien Black. I am honored to be here today for this charity event, which is close to my heart. Cancer has touched the lives of so many people, including my own acquaintances, and I know how important it is to support those who are affected by this disease." The audience begins to clap and he waits for them to stop before he continues.Damn the man for being so handsome."Through this charity, we are making a real difference in the lives of cancer patients and their families. We are providing them with the resources they need to cope with the physical, emotional, and financial challenges of cancer, and we are helping them to feel less alone in their journey.""I am proud to support this organization and the incredible work it does. But I am not alone in this effort. Eve
I am giving myself a final look in the mirror when Darcy runs inside to announce that the car is here. She'd been peeping through the window.We are both surprised when we hear the doorbell. We didn't expect the driver to come up to the door. She goes to get the door and at the other side is none other than Damien.I freeze immediately when I sight him. He looks like a cover model for GQ times…a million. He is wearing a black tuxedo with his usually unruly hair styled back. The tux accentuates his broad shoulders and narrow hips, it has to have been made for him. I can't believe he can get more handsome.He is also surveying me and I don't need to be told he likes what he saw. Even I know I look nice. Darcy deserves a gift for how good she made me look."Good evening Damien," I say and I'm pleased that my voice is surprisingly not cracking like I thought it would be.He clears his throat and just says, "the car's waiting, shall we?"I guess he doesn't really think anything of my dres
Damien's POVWhen Lucien asked me to meet at his office, I didn't know his intentions. I was actually surprised because in all the years he's been teaching, he has never asked me to help with a student's employment.Lucien could stop teaching if he didn't want to, he was one of the major shareholders at D.B. do he was a millionaire in his own rights, it's something he loves though and I'm not against it in anyway.In the two weeks interval between Mia and my first meeting and the time we met in his office, I've thought of Mia a thousand times.I've never felt this way before, it's a strange feeling. It's like there's a rope that draws me to her and that rope only tightened after I saw her again.Vampires don't do divorce, they are mated for life. It is very rare to see a divorced vampire, in my 199 years of living, I've only ever met one.Every vampire has a destined mate and they fall in love within a very short time. It's normal to see vampires get married after two months because o
"Hmm, what's the condition?" I ask.He crosses his legs and with one of his arms resting on the arm of the couch, looks like he holds the whole of America in his hands."How about you sit first?" he says, gesturing to the couch opposite him."I'm fine standing sir.""Two conditions actually. The first being that you address me as Damien not Mr. Black and definitely not 'sir'" he says.I glance at Lucien and he gives me a sideways tilt of the head which I take as my invitation to sit and take my seat.Damien stays silent while Lucien goes to the small fridge at the corner of his office and brings me a bottle of water. I open it and take a sip."It's a simple condition. Go out with me" Damien says and the water I'm about to swallow chokes me making me spill it on my t-shirt."Seriously D you couldn't find a better way to say that?" Lucien says as he pulls out a tissue from the box on his table, brings it to me and takes a seat beside Damien."What in the world was that?" I ask as I clea
Mia's POVI look around my home and satisfied with what I'm seeing, fall on the couch. I finished my exams a two days ago and slept like I was competing with the dead that night.Juggling a 10 hours daily job with studying was almost impossible. My house was a mess. I didn't do my laundry for a whole week. I love to cook but I've been eating takeouts for weeks now. Exams done, I finally had the time to clean up today.My boss, Mr. Smith is like a father figure to me. He gave me the week off to rest.I can't wait to enjoy the next few days. I already subscribed to Netflix on my system, I'm gonna be seeing a lot of korean dramas.I'm a kdrama addict, I could watch a movie for six hours nonstop.I switch on the TV just for the background noise. It's something I always do when I'm home, gives me a feeling of company.Just as I'm about to stand up and order dinner, I see something on TV that catches my eye.It's an interview with the CEO of D.B and he's no other than the guy I ran into t
As I rush out the door, I grab my coffee cup and take a sip, feeling the warmth of the liquid spreading through my body.Today's not starting out great for me. Traffic on the streets of New York is a bitch. My exams start at 9:00am and it's 8:20 am already.By the time I make it into the school premises, I have just 15 minutes to get to the exam hall.As I walk through the crowded halls of my university, I feel my heart racing with nervousness. I have to do well on these exams if I want to have any chance of landing a good job after graduation.I glance at my wristwatch - a gift from my best friend- seven minutes more. On this thought I feel a sharp pain in my head as I bump into someone."Oh my goodness! I'm so so sor…" I say as I look at the victim of my clumsiness and then I see his face.Dammmn!It should be illegal to look this hot.He is tall, with broad shoulders and a lean build that speak of athleticism. His chiseled jawline is accentuated by a hint of stubble, and his pierci
