Silje made an effort to make sure her eyes didn’t waver.
When the elevator stopped and the door opened, the man leaned back against the elevator wall and gestured like a gentleman for her so she could leave first.
His brown eyes continued to study her as he asked, “So did you come here for an audition? This is the Sherian headquarters after all. I’m right, aren’t I?”
Silje was about to get off with a thanks when he asked the question. She turned around to face him again.
“Oh, I…”
After a brief hesitation, Silje replied confidently, “Yes, I came here to become a Sherian model.”
Silje sounded strong and determined, and the man looked at her with interest. His light brown eyes smiled attractively.
“You sound very determined. I like it. Well then, good luck, Miss.”
A kind smile.
However, there was something else in his expression. The man walked away le

Excellent. May I get a glass as well?”When Rolf and Ingrid stared at him rigidly, Kail gave them a nasty grin.“I realize my attire doesn’t fit this fancy party, but I’m sure you can be generous enough to allow me to drink.

With another big applause, the curtain opened to reveal the bright white stage again where all the models were standing.Each model walked out individually, and people cheered for them.

To Silje’s surprise, Christian caressed her hair gently.“You are like a warrior, Silje. I can feel your strength and determination. I think a short hair style would suit you better. Your white neck and delicate face will benefit from it.”“Pardon?”Silje flinched in surprise but Christian seemed oblivious. He started to walk away as he added, “There are too many models with long hair, don’t you think so? Silje, your current look overlaps with Liu Wen’s.”He meant that she didn’t stand out.Liu Wen.One of the top Asian models from China.Christian was encouraging her to improve herself.To differentiate herself from the rest of them.As the elevator door closed, Silje watched Christian walk away.It wasn’t that she wanted to cut her hair.But she did, and the main reason was because of a piece of advice from the famous photographer Joel Hurs

She thought she would look more boyish with short hair, but it only made her look more delicate. Somehow, she looked more feminine.The hairdresser said to her, “Wow, it looks better than I expected. You should’ve done this a long time ago! Shorter hair suits you.”The lady then smiled and added, “I swear, you look better with shorter hair. You look more modern.”Another hairdresser, who was working nearby, nodded as well with a smile.Silje looked at herself in the mirror silently. After cleaning up, she was guided to a sink for a wash. During the shampooing, Silje heard a few girls chatting loudly next to her while getting their nails done.“So when did you arrive in New York?”“Last night at JFK. It was such a long flight.”“And you sat in first

Boom, boom.Loud music filled the stage and the models all came out at once. They started to dance as they walked one by one to the center and to the audience’s surprise, each model had a small vinyl record attached to her forehead.The models danced teasingly under the 80’s disco ball. They laughed and danced in colorful knitted t-shirts while walking confidently at the same time.[That’s all they really want…Some fun!]Silje danced as well excitedly as she walked. Her short black hair was curled, and bright eyeshadows adorned her eyes. She was also wearing very shiny lip gloss which made her look girly.The models looked at each other and laughed. They were having a lot of fun and the performance looked more like a party than a serious fashion show.Afterward, the audience applauded.“Wow!”“Bravo!”As the only Asian model in the show, Silje was cheered on as wel

“I apologize for not consulting with you and Father before deciding on my career. It wasn’t easy, but I finally am starting to become an established model in New York and I plan on keeping this career. I am sure you and Father will cheer for me. If you continue to disapprove, I will be sad, but I am an adult now, so…”Silje didn’t want this conversation to go down this path, so she took a deep breath and closed her eyes. She had to change the subject and get to the point.“I know I did something terrible that can never be forgiven. I know you and my father will never forgive me, and I’m sure you are still very angry at me, but I don’t regret what I have done… I was so lonely and desperate back then.

Unfortunately, Olga didn’t seem to like Nolita and Soho, the two areas Silje enjoyed the most for their vintage and free atmospheres.“Do you come here often, Silje?”“Yes. It’s close to home, so I come here sometimes to shop. For groceries, there is a big store near the apartment that I go to.”Olga still seemed unhappy as she listened. When she didn’t say anything, Silje became disappointed.She obviously made the wrong decision.The Italian restaurant Silje chose was a popular place, but Olga was a very picky eater. Silje’s adoptive mother was an excellent cook, so it was very hard to satisfy her.Olga may not have liked the place, but she must’ve appreciated Silje’s effort. Olga ate her tiramisu and asked, “Did you make a reservation in this restaurant for me?”“Yes. If we had more time, I could’ve taken you to a place in the Upper East Side&hellip
