CHAPTER 21: QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

"If you're  at this crossroad and you find it difficult to choose, let me help you understand what each choice can lead to," Mr. Blaydes, like any other concerned parent brought up the topic regarding Audrey’s choice of career at the dining table for discussion. “In fact, you should use your degree in the family business,” he added while pointing his fork at her. "Joining the family business can be a one-way road, Dad, where there is no going back. I've to be really firm minded about this, as I know nothing about it," Audrey expressed her apprehensions. "You have your dad to mentor you and teach you how to run the company’s business, dear," her mother, Lucy Blaydes joined the discussion. "However, before committing to Dad’s business, I want to explore the world and do something for the upliftment of society," Audrey explained. "You

CHAPTER 22: CAMP SURPRISE

"Audrey," Dmitri whispered when the call connected. “Hey !” He softly said. "Dmitri ?” Audrey instant got up in the middle of the night when she heard his voice. “Is everything ok ? How come you're calling at this late hour ?" she asked in a concerned tone, all her sleepiness vanishing from her eyes as numerous worst case scenarios ran through her mind. "I just received the message of confirmation for my departure tomorrow for a medical volunteer camp in the interiors of the countryside," Dmitri informed. Audrey took a breath of relief, relieved that Dmitri was safe before she jerked back. Dmitri was leaving ? No ! She was going to miss him so much. "Which camp, Dmitri ?" Audrey asked. She was missing him already.  "It's a medical camp,” Dmitri replied. “It is a cam

CHAPTER 23: LOVE COMPETITION

"Good Afternoon, Doctor ! You're urgently needed in the intensive care unit of the hospital to check on excessive bleeding in your patient. It is an emergency," Hazel hurriedly but calmly informed Dmitri on call.  “How long will you take to reach ?” She asked. "I'm in the Director's room for a meeting, Doctor. I should be there in another 10 minutes," Dmitri responded and quickly rushed out of the room while the Director opened the door for him to take flight. Dmitri nodded his thanks and raced down the hall. "What is the matter, Doctor ?" Dmitri asked while quickly scanning the reports thrusted in his hand by a nurse. "Your patient, Mrs. Laura Emerson who underwent abdominal hysterectomy, started bleeding excessively within an hour after the surgery," Hazel reported . "I can see the surgery went well from the reports.

CHAPTER 24: DINNER DATES

Audrey noticed Rachel clutching a bunch of unfamiliar reports close to her chest but chose not to comment when she noticed Dmitri approaching them. "Plans with the good doctor, Ms. Blaydes ?" Rachel teased while nudging her elbows at a flush faced Audrey. "Yes and stop giving me that look. It's just a celebratory dinner at his home," Audrey huffed. "Congratulations, my love ! I'm so proud of you," Dmitri huskily said. "And congratulations to the Valedictorian !" Dmitri beamed at Rachel before shaking her hand with his free one. "Thank you, Doctor ! Now I would like to excuse myself as I have to find Leo. God knows where he is," Rachel huffed. "Enjoy the evening, you two !" she called out as she hurried away and winked at a glaring Audrey with a laugh. "She drives me crazy," Audrey muttered under her breath but chuckled nonetheless with a shake of her head. As

"Hey Dmitri ! Good Morning ! Where are you ?" Audrey asked. "I'm in the hospital, love" Dmitri replied and after so long, the nickname still made Audrey’s heart flutter. "How come so early today ?" Audrey asked. "There was an unscheduled, emergency surgery, so I came in the wee hours of the morning today. I'm about to leave for home in a few minutes," Dmitri said. "Can we meet in the Book Café for coffee and breakfast ?" Audrey asked. "Of course, we can meet ! I hope everything is fine, nothing urgent ?" Dmitri asked. "Oh yes ! Everything is fine, don't worry ! It has been a long time since we last met, so I was just wondering if we could spend some time together ?"Audrey said. "Alright. See you soon at the Book Café," Dmitri said as they hung up the phone.

CHAPTER 26: THE PROPOSAL

"Good Morning, love ! Get ready and come for breakfast and this is for you," Dmitri greeted his lady love with a kiss before handing over a beautiful floral opal coloured dress to Audrey. "Oh my god ! This dress is beautiful. Thank you, Dmitri !" Audrey squealed in delight as she saw Dmitri looking at her with all smiles. "Now, stop smiling and looking at me. Let me get ready. See you at the breakfast table," Audrey said, making Dmitri grin. "My smiles are constant, my beloved since you delighted me with your pregnancy news. I feel like I am in seventh heaven, forgetting all my worries and past. It is a feeling I can't put into words," he said as he walked out of the room and into the kitchen. Dmitri got a beautiful tray and dressed it up with flowers, fresh fruit and plated it up with an array of her favourite breakfast dishes in wooden cloches. He l

CHAPTER 27: BREAKING NEWS

"I guess, it is always super nerve wracking and exciting, sharing the news of the first baby with parents- the soon to be grandma and grandpa. I hope they will not be angry with me," Audrey nervously thought. "I'll only get one chance to break the news of their new status as Grandma and Grandpa, so I should make the best of it with a memorable reveal," murmured Audrey as she bought pink and blue balloons with grandma grandpa written on it. "What are these for, Audrey?" asked Mrs. Lucy Blaydes as Audrey entered her home. "Mom and Dad, read what is written on the balloons," Audrey said. Mr. and Mrs. Blaydes were shocked and angry but at the spur of the moment, they reigned control on their emotions somehow. For a minute, the couple just stared at each other before assimilating the news and starting a difficult conversation.&

CHAPTER 28: MEETING THE IN-LAWS

For Audrey, the weekend came sooner than imagined. Dmitri visited the Blaydes’ mansion to meet Audrey's parents regarding his marriage proposal.  "We live in a society in which the criteria for the selection of the perfect partner can turn out very differently," Mr. Blaydes commented while interacting with Dmitri at his home- his den. "You're right, Mr. Blaydes. Our world is driven by consumerism that often prevents us from seeing the things that really matter," Dmitri replied politely. "While some are looking for a better half with a great personality, others may choose their partner by economic factors. But is it the definition of love ?" Audrey asked, looking at her Dad dead in the eye, silently asking him to be lenient with her lover.  However, her father chose to ignore her and listened to what Dmitri had to say.

CHAPTER 29: GLAMOUR WORLD 

And from here, Audrey's journey to stardom began after three years working through many rejections and accomplishments. Though the experiences shared by the team of her agents in the initial years of work always stayed with her. After one of the strenuous tours, all the models celebrated their success at the round table with celebratory drinks in their hands and toasted for many more to come. Soon the topic eased to their personal stories which could put any commoner into disbelief. "Why is it that for everything you gain in life, something is always lost ?" commented an established model.  While some models recounted emotional manipulation and bullying, others claimed to have endured physical and even s*xual abuse at work. “As models, we're not paid for our talents. We're just renting our bodies and faces ! Our body isn't our own any

CHAPTER 30: AUDREY’S FUTURE PLANS

The stage had only gotten bigger since that fateful day three years back, when she had decided to enter the modelling world. The unstoppable multi-hyphenate, Audrey, had conquered every field imaginable in the modeling portfolio. But, not a day went by in these three years, when her eyes couldn't stop lubricating a stream of incessant tears. "Welcome, Audrey ! What brought you today to my cabin ?" Calvin asked as he greeted on the supermodel’s visit to the modelling agency's headquarters. "It had been a long time since I met you, so I just dropped in to say hello !" Audrey replied. "So, what is next on the horizon for my dear friend and supermodel after a string of epic highs ?" the handsome Calvin Hughes asked with a pleasing smile on his face. "I'm planning to be a voice for all the injustice that happens in our fashion industry, besides focusing and constantly
