11: Old Friends
Fenella’s POV"Oh, hey, Greg. It's nice to see you. We haven't met in the office lately," I welcomed with a light peck on each of our cheeks."I know. We've been busy with our own projects," Greg smiled broadly.Greg and I joined this mother agency only two weeks apart. Since then, he has always been my partner on small projects. Over time, as our success grew, we started to have our own busy schedules. The last time we worked together on the same project was a magazine editorial photoshoot half a year ago."Hey, guys." Kiara approached us this time."I'm glad to hear you're both so successful. It's a shame everyone will retire in time," she said with a smile.Damn, she mentioned retirement! That topic was sensitive for Greg and me. We were considered too old and were starting to lose to the younger models newly recruited.While Kiara was our junior, she was three years younger. Initially, she was recruited as a model. When they first recruited her, she snatched and stole many of my pr

12: New Rules
Fenella’s POVThe whole room fell silent for a moment as Ms. Lola stepped down from the stage. I thought the new CEO would be as strict as Ms. Lola. I was completely wrong.Suddenly, the speaker played an upbeat song. The man named Alan immediately appeared on stage in a white three-piece suit, a white shirt unbuttoned to his chest, and black shoes. His dark brown curly hair was thin at the bottom and on the sides but thick and slightly long on top. It was long enough for some of his curly hair, combed to the side, to fall onto his thick eyebrows."Everybody, rock up!"My mouth dropped in amazement as I watched him dance on the runway stage. He danced and invited everyone to dance. Then he walked on the catwalk like a model. I have to admit that he was very confident and walked perfectly like a model.He started singing, and his voice was surprisingly good. He walked back to get off the stage. With his dancing style, he greeted each attendee with their own dance. Each person greeted

13: Talent Show
Fenella’s POVAlan wanted to pull out the weeds, as Jessy explained beforehand. I thought Alan was the type of person who was laid-back and liked to party. Who would have thought that he was actually being cold-blooded in his work? Alan demanded perfection, and that's what the models and actors at Gene had to show.Ms. Lola used to promote Yuri Wu as the top model. Unfortunately, Yuri Wu stopped being a supermodel ten years ago. She was now more focused on being a housewife to her husband—a vocalist in an international rock band—and their two children.Because of that, Alan wanted to re-evaluate which models would be prioritized in promotions. He was looking for new faces as Gene's management icons to replace Yuri Wu.To vie for that position, we had to showcase our talents. One by one, we would demonstrate our abilities in photoshoots. The camera would take our photos five times automatically, with a three-second interval between poses. All we had to do was display our best pose each

14: I'm a Professional
Fenella’s POV"What's wrong with her? Why does she always feel unhappy seeing others doing better than her?" I asked Jessy, watching Kiara walk away.Really, it reminded me of Amy, my bully in high school. Why is there always someone like her in this world? Is this the effect of unhealthy teen movies?"Pfft, that's called being toxic. Don't mind her." Jessy waved his hand and focused again on watching the other models.I waited until the second session started for the models. In the second session, Alan asked the actors to portray one of their favorite scenes. For the models, Alan asked us to walk on stage to showcase the clothes we were wearing."I've seen what your fashion tastes are like. The next question is whether you can persuade others to wear that outfit just by walking on the catwalk," Alan said to the 20 Gene models, including Kiara, who insisted on returning as a model."Start!" With one shout from Alan, we began to line up beside the main stage.One by one, the models sta

15: Something in the Air
Fenella’s POVAlan walked onto the main stage. He cleared his throat and suddenly put on a friendly smile. He clapped his hands and rubbed them together."I deeply apologize for the inconvenience caused. Especially to Fenella, who has acted very professionally despite the unexpected changes during her performance. Applause for her."Alan's palms opened, gesturing for the audience to clap. I smiled with flushed cheeks. I clasped my hands in front of my chest, bowed briefly, and whispered my thanks to Alan and the audience."We'll take a 15-minute break. After that, we can continue the show with the models who haven't walked yet. Thank you."Alan then walked off the stage. He approached me. "You're amazing, Fenel

16: Bad Blood
Fenella’s POVJessy knocked on Alan's office door on the third floor. As usual, after knocking on the door, he would immediately enter the office.When the door opened, we immediately saw an unexpected sight. Kiara was leaning over Alan, who was sitting in a chair. Her one hand was trapping Alan in the chair, while her other hand was on Alan's blazer collar."Oh, sorry. We didn't mean—" Jessy stuttered and quickly tried to close the door again."It's okay, Jessy. Kiara was just leaving," Alan said with a wry smile."What? But our talk isn't over," Kiara protested to Alan."Yes, we're done. You're fired," Alan said, still with his arrogant smile."What? You're firing me?" Kiara stepped back from Alan with a surprised shriek. Jessy and I were also surprised by Alan's words. We looked at each other without knowing what had actually happened."Yes, Kiara. I won't take back my words or reconsider," Alan said, rising from his chair and straightening his white suit.Both of Alan's hands wen

17: Golden Opportunity
Jessy’s POV“I actually have no problem at all with Kiara. I also don't know why she's so mean toward me. She was three years younger than me when she joined here as a junior.""I only knew when she first entered that many of my projects had been replaced by her. I didn't retaliate or anything for that. I thought it was her chance. But the longer she stayed, the more hostile she became towards me and other models, especially after her films failed."Fenella told Alan everything as it was. I didn't know why Kiara's attitude was so annoying towards others, especially towards her. Fenella didn't even try to reclaim everything Kiara took from her. I just tried my best to find new projects for her. Oh, poor girl."So, she was jealous of you?" Alan asked again."Yes, I think so." Fenella shrugged."Is that true, Jessy?" Alan asked me this time."Yes, that's all true. Fenella didn't protest at all when Kiara took over her project. In fact, I protested to Kiara's agent and Ms. Lola, but they

18: Angel From Above
Jessy’s POVThat man had shoulder-length curly hair, a sharp square jawline with a thin beard, and a sturdy physique. I could clearly see his broad chest under the white shirt he was wearing. His shirt sleeves were rolled up to his elbows, emphasizing his strong forearms, adorned with blue veins. Even his blue jeans couldn't hide the bulge at the base of his thighs. And the gold zipper further emphasized the treasure map-like pattern behind it.When the man raised his hand to sweep his long hair back, I felt a refreshing breeze with a fragrant scent hitting me.Oh, God… What kind of tremor is this?"Hello?" The man spoke again while my mouth was still agape.

19: An Invitation
Fenella’s POV"How about it, Fenella? Will you allow Jessy to handle Mike as well?" Alan asked me."Er... Sure. No problem. Jessy used to handle two models at once anyway," I replied, occasionally glancing at Jessy.I knew very well that Jessy must be thrilled. It was evident in my eyes how Jessy blushed every time he glanced at Mike. It could be said he had fallen for the guy. Would I be willing to stand in their way? Of course not."Then it's settled. Jessy, please take Mike to start preparing for his debut," Alan requested with a friendly smile."Now?" Jessy asked hesitantly."Yes, now," Alan affirmed."What about Fenella's new projects as the face of Gene?" Jessy asked."I'll have a more detailed discussion with Fenella first before offering her the best contract. I'll get back to you later, Jessy," Alan said patiently."Alright. Please follow me, Mike." Jessy stood up from the sofa, and Mike followed suit.Jessy and I exchanged meaningful glances. From Jessy's gaze, I knew he was

20: Chatty Mouth
Fenella’s POVI finally followed Alan down to the second floor. On the second floor, I could see Mike and Jessy chatting at Jessy's desk. Jessy looked embarrassed, while Mike clearly teased Jessy.Wow. Happy for you, Jessy."I feel like Jessy has already forgotten me in her mind," I told Alan after we reached the office lobby."Ah, you sound jealous," Alan chuckled.As soon as Alan stepped out of the door, a black Range Rover immediately approached us on the side of the road. Alan opened the passenger door just before the driver got out to open the door."Please," Alan said to me."Thank you." I got into the car somewhat awkwardly, trying to maintain politeness because the passenger seat was higher than my butt. After we sat in the car, the driver immediately drove the car away from the office. Alan and I sat side by side in the passenger seat.Honestly, I didn't know Alan, and this made me a little uneasy because I wasn't with Jessy. Whenever there was a work meeting, Jessy always a
