#The/Benson/Mansion
The two women could be seen sitted at the exquisite living room sipping from the glass of non_alcoholic wine.
"I've been awaiting your visit since the very day I visited you at your house and told you about my Depressed daughter. What kept you?"Mrs benson asks and tucked her hair behind her ears.
"I'm really sorry my dear friend. I've been quite busy attending to my new project."Mrs Johnson said with a pleading gaze.
"It's alright, i know how busy everyone has to be just to make ends meet. So, i understand you perfectly."Mrs Benson shrugs with a sly smile grazing her lips.
"Exactly dear. You do know About the clothing brand I'd just opened, I'm working hard to make sure everything is in place. I'm currently in need of a model that could be modeling our products for quick sales."Mrs Johnson explains.
"Wow, That's a really nice idea you've got there. Do you have an actual model in mind?"Mrs Benson asks further.
"Not yet! Though, I'm currently searching for the best. Someone with a perfect body and of course a perfect height."Mrs Johnson mussed moving her hand according to her description.
"I think fiona should be the perfect description you've just made. She has had the passion for modeling since her childhood days."Mrs Benson chirped earning a surprised look from mrs Johnson who never knew about that.
"Then why didn't she chase her dreams? you've got the money to see her through it."Mrs Johnson asked the niggling question on her mind.
"I..."Whatever she was trying to say was cut short by Fiona's questioned.
"Aunt, You're in need of a model?"Fiona suddenly asks and the two women turned to her direction as she climbed down the few stairs.
"Yes Fiona."Mrs Johnson answered. "How have you been, Fiona? I'm sorry I've not visited you since the last time I took you to my son. I've been so busy with the brand preparation."Mrs Johnson apologize as she held her hands and pulled her to seat beside her.
"It's alright, Aunt. I've not been myself ever since Bryan said those hurtful words to me. Though, Those words made me want to get something doing for myself,Aunt. I don't want to continue depending on my parents. I want to chase my dreams. Soon enough, Bryan would realize how worthy I am to be called his wife."Fiona mutters with a faint smile on her lips. Mrs Johnson held her hands and gave her a reassuring smile.
"I'll always support you, fiona.To tell you the truth, I want you for my son.you're all he needs in a lady. I've got your back."She assured making fiona smile brightens alittle.
"Aunt, Can I be your model? it'll make it easier for me to get closer to bryan."Fiona asks giving her puppy eyes which she won't be able to resist.
"If that's what you want, I'll make you my model, fiona."Mrs Johnson said with a chuckle. Fiona pulled her into a tight hug as she felt so excited. she had never been this excited for awhile now.
"Thank you so much, Aunt."She grins widely as Mrs Benson kept watching them with a bright smile on her lips. She should had supported her daughter in making her dreams come through instead, She was against it Even when her husband was in support of her being a model. Seeing how happy her daughter looks right now, made her realized the pain she must had been feeling inside of her.
~Anna Pov~
Anna sat on her bed eating chips and scrolling through the Internet when she came across someone familiar to her. She scrolled back to have a proper look and her eyes grew wide in shock.
"Hold on, Isn't this Rukky? Is my eyes suddenly deceiving me? I'm sure this is Rukky. why is my crush holding her or should I say harassing her?Gosh! How did this happened?"She thought out loud.
"This Is Bryan's concert. How did Rukky end up being there?What's she up to?"She kept muttering to herself as she clicked on it to get more information.
"What! she'd be interviewed tonight! Oh my God! She's suddenly becoming popular!"She rolled her eyes. I should go search for her at her house. I need her to explain in details everything that happened that night. Rukky could be so deceiving. I'm sure she's the one who throwned herself on him.
She wore her flip flops and strolled out of the room muttering to herself has she made for the door.
"Where are you going ann? Her mom asked from behind startling her alittle.
'Damn!"She yelled and hit her head murmuring inaudible things.
"I'm so sorry mum, I literally forgot you where home."
"Oh, Really?"Her mom asks running her eyes all over her body. "Where do you think you are going putting on such a skimpy short."She asks with a frown. This was actually the reason she Didn't take permission from her. Ann rolled her eyes without her noticing.
"I'm just going over to Rukky's house. There's something important I need to ask her."Anna muttered staring pleadingly at her.
"You told me you both got into a fight or was that some sort of lie?"She ask giving her doubting eyes.
"That's never a lie mom. we indeed got into a fight. That's part of the reason I'm going to her house to sort out our friendship.'Anna said hopeing her mother buys it and let her go.
"I need you back home in few minutes!"She ordered making Ann squeals in joy and pulled the door open before replying.
"I'll be back in a jiffy"She chirped and banged the door shut.
