“Take care Bella. I’ll miss you!”
I smiled and hugged Candice tightly. If it wasn’t for her support, I wouldn’t be the person whom I am now. Patting her head, I spoke gently. “I’ll be there for only five months. Once my contract is done, I’ll come back here.”Her teary eyes blinked several times before she hugged me back. Her shoulders were moving slightly. This dramatic friend of mine is always like this so I’m not surprise at all.“Call me once you departed.”I held my phone tight before nodding. “I will.”While waiting for my flight, I could feel the heavyweight inside of me. Maybe because it’s my first time after three years that I will be away from my friend who used to comfort me when I feel down.After minutes of waiting, we were called out so I went to my designated flight number. I settled everything first and walked inside the plane to suit myself before looking outside the window, then it flew above.I watched how the water dropped from his hair to his slightly hairy yet hard chest. It traveled down to his skin until it disappeared beneath the towel that was being wrapped around his solid waist. His muscular biceps were wet and there was another towel that was on his head.He smirked devilishly. “So, you finally become someone whom you always wanted hmm?” His thin seductive lips rose a bit.I gave him a smug face and sat on the couch away from him. If I was the same person three years ago, I would’ve jumped into his embrace, too bad it’s not me anymore. I smiled and said, “My career is none of your business Mr. De Villa. I’m here for work. Nothing more, nothing less.” He suddenly let out a soft laughed and sat on the couch opposite to mine. The only hindrance in between was the small mini-table. I avoided my gaze to his inviting appearance and shameful actions. “I’m your boss now so you have to follow what I say Miss Daño.” His voi
Mariel took me to a shopping mall. It was not simply a mall, but one of the biggest mall in the world. I had no idea what should we do, but she was kind enough to discuss her thoughts.“Actually ma’am, my boss simply told me to accompany you today.” Her eyes looked down. She was wearing a ripped jeans and a white shirt. I nodded and pointed one of the stall inside. “Let’s go there.” I dragged her with me. “You suddenly rushed in my room and I wasn’t able to eat my breakfast so I’m hungry. Today is my cheat day.”Her forehead furrowed. “What is cheat day ma’am? You wanted to cheat on your boyfriend?!” She exclaimed, wearing a shock expression with her confuse eyes.I giggled. My palm uncontrollably patted her head as we got inside the food chain called Jollibee. “No. You don’t understand because you’re still young, but as a model, I need to limit the calories that I should take everyday.” “A cheat day means I can eat w
I hummed and not long after, we arrived. I pulled to park my car but soon, a guard stopped us. Mariel automatically went out and talked to the guard for awhile before she told me to give my car keys to him and I obliged. I went out, gave him my keys before he drove my car to park it at a more private place. Hmm, they truly treat me special.“I’ll guide you to where the photoshoot will be held ma’am. It’s almost eight so I think they’re already inside.” I nodded and followed her. Good thing that the building was more secured and the reporters couldn’t access here easily, I’ll be able to breath properly and not act hysterical if someone would suddenly asked me some questions about me and Clyde’s issue in NYC. The moment we went inside the huge building, the people stopped and looked at us, ----- looked at me. Some were obviously stunned and majority of them acted so surprised to see me. I was once like them too, when I was still bui
After attending to my schedule, I spent my free time working in the gym, burning my fats that I gained yesterday with Mariel. My coworkers added me to their group chat, they were very nice and welcoming. “Hello?” I spoke as Candice from the other side of the line called. “Is my dear friend so bored that you finally called me?” It was already seven and the welcome party would start at eight.“I just want to ask if your work is fine?”I started to do my make-up since I can do it on my own. “Hell yeah! It’s totally alright if it wasn’t for their boss.”“Who? Your ex-husba-----”“Well, I don’t know why but I still get irritated whenever I saw him. His face pisses me off, big time.” I exclaimed, trying to calm myself. She giggled. “His face? Like duhh…” Her voice imitated a sharp voice of a child. “Your ex-husband could even impregnate every woman in town, I know that they wouldn’t mind having the child of a billi
I glared at him then looked away, putting the wine of juice back on the table. As I explored my sight, I noticed a lot of people focusing at us. I wasn’t embarrassed, not at all. All I could feel was disgust and a slight anger for the person beside me.“Mr. Black, it’s good that I saw you.” A man in her forties said, glancing at me for awhile. “Let’s talk about the business plan that we’re about to work on.” “Tell me the details about your plan.” Black with his cold and distant tone spoke. His arms that was on my waist loosen and his gaze went to the man who was now sitting on his left side.They talked about things that I didn’t know so I stared at the people dancing at the center stage. Everything seems like golds and diamonds. “This is my daughter Mr. Black, she will be the one who will accompany you for business matters in the future.”“Good evening Mr. Black.” I automatically raised one of my eyebrows when a tall sexy wom
It has been two weeks since I started to work in the De Villa’s company. After Black countered my question that was supposed to be his, I stopped talking and waited for my way out before I left without a word. I didn’t want to be near him. My skin would instantly shiver and my eyes wouldn’t be comfortable to meet his alluring gaze.After he committed such confusing actions, my mind became chaotic in a way that I couldn’t understand it no more. I pushed him away, gave him a hard slap and managed to make him pushed the button that connected the walls so I could get out, I didn’t mind the crowd at all. It was too much for me to mind it that time.For the past weeks, my time was better because we weren’t able to meet. I would go to a specific studio and do my part as their exclusive model with Mrs. Kim’s team. It’s Saturday and Mariel informed me that my schedule is free so I was planning to meet my parents and brothers not far away from the hotel that I’m in
“Is boss serious?” I heard someone whispered.“Why would he be here and half-naked if not?” Mariel countered that made my heart pound.Right! The handsome Ceo of a top company is in front of us, being assisted by the team for our sexier photoshoot. Like Caleb, he’s also half-naked and damn, his muscles and biceps are flexing together. The hotness that he was producing could totally make our throat dry in an instant. He’s slightly taller than us yet his physical features were close to perfection. His slightly hairy chest that moves up and down, his six pack abs that made the girls here swallow their saliva’s hard. The nerves that popped up in his arms whenever his hands moves was hypnotizing. Well, for them of course. When the shoot was about to start, they changed the single chair into a two seated one that screamed elegance and power. The two men positioned themselves while my mind was in chaos on how to handle this very awkward situat
“Who was your boss talking about?” She shrugged her shoulders, telling me that she was also confused about what he said.I didn’t mind it deeply so we both went inside my car and drove back to the hotel. Since we both has a lot to do, Mariel would stay in my hotel room for a week. She was already so ready that she packed a lot of stuffs to bring. I informed her about her stay yesterday, and she felt ecstatic. I wasn’t even sure if she was in her right mind when she suddenly jumped and shouted, telling me that it was one of her list in her bucket list which actually came true just now. I smiled while driving, hearing her happy voice humming. Although Mariel is still an innocent girl, but she was already excellent in her job. Working while studying, though I wasn’t sure why she would bear it since her family is a millionaire.“Miss Bella, is it really fine?” She asked, for the nth time.I giggled. “Of course! It’s go
