Chapter 43- The Fashion Show
“ You girls have to give this your best, remember that you're representing the Miller's Cooperation and whatever you do out there is very important, do you understand me?" Arrogant Ariana asked the models and they all answered in unison.
“That would be all, do your best," She said as she looked at them one more time before walking out of the dressing room.
After the slap she gave me I've been staying clear of her path before the next thing she does would be to shoot me.
I wasn't ready to die.
We have been busy the entire day trying to make sure that the fashion show was a success.
Arrogant Ariana hasn't said a word to me and I didn't know if I should be grateful for that or worried. What if she was planning to kill me? The woman is never predictable.
I was going through my phone when I felt someone beside me and then I turned to see one of the models.
She wasn't blonde and even if she was I wouldn't want anything to do with her.
“ Whatcha doing?" She asked as she looked at my phone, which was rude.
I locked my phone screen as I turned my attention to her.
“ Is there something you want?" I asked with raised brows.
" Nothing at all, I was just wondering if we could, you know, get a drink to celebrate after the show and everything?” She asked as she looked up at me expectantly.
" There would be a celebration after the show, so we'll all be celebrating together,” I said.
" I know, but we could just, you know celebrate just the two of us,” She said.
I wasn't a fool, I knew what she was hinting at, with the way her eyes kept looking down my body and how she wouldn't stop biting her lips. I knew the signs well, she wanted something and I wasn't ready to give what she was asking.
This is work and I don't mix work with pleasure, it's the rule.
" I wish I had time but I work for the CEO so I'm a very busy man,” I said as I immediately watched her demeanor change as sadness clouded her face.
" Okay,” she whispered before walking away.
Did I just break her heart?
She can't be sad, not when she has to walk the runway with the jewelry in about thirty minutes.
Why won't these women leave me alone?
Earlier I had to drag the blondie who I had a flint with and warned her not to make a fuss. I never imagined that she'll end up being a model for our company one day and it was just one time, it was always one time but they never seem to get enough.
They want sex and then a ring or something, I don't want that and I don't do that, I always tell them.
“ I'll leave everything to you now, take care of the girls," I said to the studio manager before walking out so I could watch the show too.
I walked to my reserved seat beside arrogant Ariana and soon enough the show started.
The host came to give an open speech before he disappeared backstage and then models started walking out.
Damn, the girls were fine and tall, it wasn't my first time sitting down and watching models on the runway but it never gets old especially when I have to see beautiful women.
Our company was collaborating with the host company as our models were wearing dresses designed by him and at the same time showcasing the jewelry from our company.
The first model from our company walked out and with each slow step she took it was like she was commanding you to follow her with your eyes. She looks dazzling.
The way she walks, move her hands and the radiant smile from her lips, it was compelling.
I remember her from the audition, she wasn't this good, I'm surprised arrogant Ariana picked her, maybe she was groomed and taught what to do.
Now she's like a lava that has matured and has become a beautiful butterfly.
The necklace around her neck was shining like a thousand diamond stone as I watched everyone's eyes fixed on it, I couldn't help but smile.
The necklace was doing it job, or rather the model was doing her job.
The first model walked away as the second model came out and just like the first, the beautiful emerald necklace on the models neck had people mesmerized.
I hope the host doesn't think we wanted to steal his show, because we were only trying to showcase our best just like him.
By the time all the models walked on the runway before they all walked out together, I knew that our coming to Paris wasn't in vain. We achieved what we wanted.
Once again the host came up to give a vote of thanks and just like that they show came to an end.
“ We had such a wonderful time, all the dresses were amazing," Arrogant Ariana said as she hugged Mr. Louis the host.
“ I should be thanking you, I'm not going to say this out loud but your company has the best when it comes to jewelry," he whispered as arrogant Ariana chuckled.
“ I'm honored to work alongside you and to see the success of this show, it's just amazing," She said with a smile.
“ Your grandfather would be very proud of you, you're representing the company well," Mr. Louis said with a kind smile.
“ Thank you,"
“ As much as I wanna keep talking to you there are a few people I must give my appreciation to before they leave,"
“ Oh that's fine," Arrogant Ariana said before he walked away.
She suddenly turned to me with a smile and I just looked at her wondering what she was up to this time.
“ We should celebrate, we should definitely celebrate, call the models, get everyone together, just…you know what to do.” she said with a giggle before walking away.
How did my life turn out to be like this?
I sigh as I shook my head.
I was about to walk from where I was standing when something or rather someone caught my attention.
I scrunch my brows in confusion. What the hell was he doing here?
He wasn't supposed to be here.
His presence didn't mean well and I knew that whatever reason brought him here wasn't a good one.
