Any guesses on who the new model is?🫣
The next day, Anna woke up in high spirits. She was looking forward to visiting the Wade mansion, not because she had any love for the family but, because her son was in there. She freshened up quickly and made her way to the breakfast table. As usual, Shayne was already seated but, she wasn’t alone this time.“Good morning, Anna.” Tristan greeted without looking at her. He was fully dressed for work and even had his keys in front of him. Anna wondered why he hadn’t already left just like before.“Good morning, Tristan.” She returned his greeting and settled down beside Shayne who was staring at the both of them through her lashes.“Finally! A normal breakfast.” Shayne said sarcastically and clapped, hoping to get rid of the awkward tension between her sister and Tristan. Neither of them said anything, avoiding eye contact like their lives depended on it.“Hmm.” Shayne hummed and shook her head, concluding that the both of them were completely hopeless.A few minutes into breakfast, A
Shayne arrived at Reyes Entertainment at exactly ten in the morning since she had a shoot at 11 am. When she arrived, a few of the other trainee models were already having their shoots and training. As usual, the place was packed so, she immediately went into the dressing room to wait for her name to be called. A few minutes into her shoot, she got a call from the manager, Mathew Lee through one of the makeup artists and she went to his office but, he wasn’t there. As she walked out, she saw one of the workers there and quickly pulled her. “Have you seen Mr Lee?” She asked and the worker immediately nodded. “I was just about to come tell you but it skipped my mind. You are needed at the conference room.” She said and Shayne’s heart skipped. Most times, when models were needed in the conference room, they were either about to get fired or get moved to another company or country for work which would eventually change their lives. She hoped it was the latter. “Thank you.” Shayne
“Wait, Shannie. Doesn’t Jacqueline work for Nathan Wade at Wades Fashion House?” Anna asked and Shayne’s face fell immediately. “What?” She asked with a terrified look on her face. The last thing she wanted was to get entangled with Wade. Working at Wade's fashion house would mean that Nathan Wade would be her boss. “Fucking hell, Anna! Are you sure?” Shayne asked, biting her lips nervously. Her excitement had suddenly flown out the window and she now found herself wondering if it would be right to work with Jacqueline knowing that she would be indirectly working for the Wades. “I swear, Shannie. Wait, let me confirm.” Anna quickly opened her laptop and searched for Jacqueline’s name on the internet. The first thing she saw was her standing beside Nathan Wade. The dark-haired beauty had her hands linked with Nathan and rested on his shoulder as they posed for the camera. Underneath the picture wrote ‘ Jacqueline and business partner, Nathan Wade at the Paris fashion show 2021.’ “Go
“Well well well, Miss Wellington. We meet again.” Nathan tucked his hands in his pockets and gave Shayne a flirty smile. “Such a small world, isn't it?” He added and Shayne held herself from making a rude comment. All through the ride to his company, she kept preparing herself and making sure her sharp mouth was in check. “I look forward to working with you, Mr Wade.” She said in a professional tone and kept a stern expression. “I don't think being polite suits you. I like you more when you're fiery.” Nathan revealed, clicking his tongue and shaking his head in disapproval. ‘I don’t care what you like, Nathan Wade!’ Shayne said in her thoughts but smiled in reality and looked at the door, praying that Jacqueline would return soon. Thankfully, Jacqueline walked into the office with two ladies and two other men who were a part of the planning team for the project. “I apologize for the delay, Shayne. Please, sit.” Jacqueline said and sat on one of the sofas in Nathan’s office while t
“You’re his mother, aren’t you?” Carla asked, pointing at Rowan. Anna’s eyes widened out of shock and she tensed up.“W-what are you talking about?” She cleared her throat and asked casually, putting on a nonchalant look. She didn’t know if she could trust Carla since she worked for the Wades so, she didn’t want to tell her the truth.Carla looked at Rowan’s face and then back at hers before nodding with a smile on. “You are his mother.” She whispered and moved closer to Anna.“I had my suspicions the last time visited.” Carla started. “You see, I have been taking care of Rowan since he was five days old and I have never seen him have a connection with any of his family members, including his supposed mother like he had with you the first time he met you.” Carla smiled and patted his back softly.“I don’t know how they cannot see it. It’s not just the resemblance between you too, it’s the connection you both have. He called you ‘mama’ immediately after he laid his eyes on you. That wa
AT WADES FASHION HOUSE Two hours later, the meeting came to an end and Shayne couldn't control the smile on her face. It was a dream come true for her so, she couldn't wait to start. Since the deal was between the two companies, the contract was going to be signed by her manager back at Reyes Entertainment. “I should be on my way now. Thank you so much for the opportunity, Jacqueline.” Shayne stood up and hugged Jacqueline who returned the hug happily. “Thank you for taking the offer, Shayne. I will see you tomorrow then.” Jacqueline said and Shayne nodded. “Definitely. Goodbye.” Shayne’s eyes moved to Nathan and knowing that it would be rude to leave without saying a word to him, she waved. “Goodbye, Mr Wade.” She said and turned to leave without even waiting for a response from him. Nathan stared at her as she walked away. He wanted to speak to her but she seemed to be in a hurry. A few seconds after she left, he tapped his fingers nervously, ignoring whatever Jacqueline and th
"If you are not like them, why haven't you told the world about what they did to my sister?" Shayne pursed her lips at him and folded her arms while Nathan looked like he had been slapped in the face. No matter how he searched, he couldn't find an answer to give her. A few seconds later, he sighed and lowered his head. "I…I can't. It will destroy my family." He whispered but Shayne heard him loud and clear. She scoffed and rolled her eyes at his statement. "Of course, you can't. Why would you? It's like I said, you are a Wade. I hope that explains why I hate you." She said and stood up. "If that is all, Mr Wade, I'll take my leave now." She finished and turned around to leave but Nathan held her hand before she could leave and stopped her. "Wait, please." He pleaded. "I do not want us to be enemies, Shayne. We don't have to be enemies especially now that we will be working together. It will be best if we are on good terms, don't you think?" "You don't have to worry about that,
Anna returned home earlier than expected as she no longer had a reason to stay at the Wade mansion. She could stand Emma’s presence but, not Garcia’s. After Jacob, it was Garcia she hated the most, and the last thing she wanted was to be in the same room with her for a long time. She was sure she wouldn’t be able to hold herself from doing something she might regret.When she arrived home, both Shayne and Tristan had still not returned so, she decided to keep an eye on her son through her iPad. She had been doing that all through the car ride. Anna was sure this was going to be a new addiction of hers.She took off her clothes quickly, freshened up, and changed into new clothes before laying on the bed and taking her iPad out. When she opened the screen, Rowan’s face was smiling down at the camera as he played with it. Since Carla knew about the hidden camera, she had turned to bracelet around so Anna could see her son. It was only when they were in the presence of the other members o
