Chapter 67

Three months has passed since the fire incident and everything has gone back to normal, the photo shoot took place two months ago and Athena was brought to the limelight. It didn t help that Sean introduced her as his girlfriend at the dinner party that Brand Entertainment always host after the release of their new face. It wasn t long and news about her started coming up but there was nothing against her except the fact that she was Frank Jones ex girlfriend, but rather than mock her, a lot envied her because she was the one that finally caught the heart of the famous Sean Brand.
Happy with herself for making the right decision and following her heart, Athena had pleaded with Sean to talk to Leo about giving Frank his job back, which she had explained her reason as it was better to settle him and have him out of her life for good for she won t rest well knowing that he was out of work because of her and that fact was bound to tie her to him because whenever she sees him, she would feel sorry for him and she doesn t want that.
To make her happy, Sean had agreed and talked to Leo and in a week s time, he was called back to work. His Red Sea was finally released and he indeed hit a jackpot with the design. He had tried so hard to meet up with Athena for the past month but she never heeds to his call or even bothers to tell him that they had broken up, to her, she didn t feel the need.
Sean had asked her if she wants to be a model and her answer had been no, she told him she would prefer working, that being in the limelight as the Face of Brand and also as his girlfriend had let her understand that she didn t really want a noisy life, with fans and everyone wanting to know what she did or was doing at any given time. Sean had respected her decision and was secretly happy about that, he had never wanted his woman to be a model; just standing tall and beautiful by his side was enough. But he had wanted to make her that when he thought there won t be a future with them because he wanted her to have a means of livelihood and to stand proud. But now with his wealth, she doesn t need to become one.
He had never wanted to expose someone he loves to the lustful eyes of men, or have her struggling to rise to fame, although with him around, Athena wouldn t have to struggle but he doesn t want that, neither does he want his other artist to feel inferior because all his attention would be on her. So it was better that way, and suits everyone perfectly. The only thing he knew was that no one, absolutely no one was going to take her place as the Face of Brand; she would be that until the day she chose not to anymore.
Leo finally took a bold step three weeks ago to propose to Gloria at the Broadway, just after she had finished walking the runway, making their relationship official. The reporters weren t surprise at the outcome; they have always known that the two would end up together, despite breaking up twice. The fact that they always find their way back into each other s arms already proves that they were made for each other and they have only been waiting for when they would take the big step which they have finally done.
Sean had thrown an engagement party for them and it was amazing, people attended and fans of Gloria stood outside and cheered them on.
It was Fashionista s fall; they would be releasing their newest designs, all consisting of the designs of their famous designers, including Augustus and Frank who had risen to that title with the release of Red sea. The fashion show has been the talk of town for a while now and having the day finally coming to pass has made everyone so happy. Models tried to show off themselves, ordering different gowns with lots of zeros to the price. Famous actresses and actors would be present. Fashionista s fall only takes place once a year and absolutely nobody loves to miss it. The live show is always the most tuned in station for that night for people who can t attend always watch from their homes.
"What are we doing here? I should be preparing my models for the big show tonight," TB whined as Sean dragged him into the mall. Not actually dragging him but forced him to go in with him and he couldn t say no.
"Stop whining," Sean reprimanded and he rolled his eyes.
"What are we doing here anyway, there is nothing you want you can t have delivered to you."
"I said stop whining."
"I m not whining, I m just curious," he shrugged.
Sean ignored him and went into a jewelry store; he couldn t help but follow him with his mouth in awe. He looked around them at the glistening jewels, each piece worth a fortune, he turned to Sean to ask what he could be doing at a jewelry store but he saw him busy searching for something or rather someone as a man in his late forties with mixed black and white hair smiled and approached him. "Mr. Brand, I have been waiting for you."
Sean smiled, "I got an email that it s ready."
"Indeed sir, please come with me," he smiled and turned around, Sean ignored TB s look and followed the man. TB sighed and followed after, he has to get to the bottom of this.
The man led them into a room, he walked straight to a box that was covered with a piece of cloth, "have a look sir, and know if it s exactly want you requested," he pulled off the cloth to reveal a glass and inside the glass was a piece of diamond ring. It was molded in gold with tiny words written on it and a big diamond at the top that was reflecting with the lights around.
"Oh my God," TB wowed with his eyes fixed on the blinding beauty, he couldn t believe what he was looking at, neither could he start imagining what it signifies for.
Sean smiled, he was in love with the ring already, "let me see it."
"Very well sir," the man answered and opened the glass, bringing out the beauty. He handed it to Sean who took it in his hand and had to shift away to avoid TB s look that followed the ring around. He caressed his thumb on the words, remembering the night he had thought of it and asked for it to be written on it so that it would be his first vow to her.
'In the sun and underneath the moon, my heart will be yours, and inside the ring it was written, 'forever .
"Christ, Sean, when did you have this made?" TB ended up asking when he found his voice.
Sean smiled, "a month ago."
"What?" he looked at him, "you want to propose?"
Sean cast him a look, "what else is a ring like this used for?"
"Well, um…" he shrugged, "it s just that, it s been four months of your relationship, I didn t expect this to be happening, you know, you have to get to know each other and stuff."
"And how long do you need to know someone?" Sean raised an eyebrow, "Tobias, no matter how long you court someone, you can never really know them. The important thing is searching to know if the person has at least seventy percent of your desires and want in a spouse, and then endure the thirty percent which they don t have, because no one is perfect."
TB said nothing, what was there to say? He must admit that he was really happy that he wants to tie the knot with Athena, they really complement each other and he don t know of any woman that suit Sean better than she does.
The man packaged the ring for them and they left the store with Sean making a call to the manager of the restaurant he wants to use, to make sure that everything was in place and would be ready by the time they arrive.
