Chapter 9: A. chess Game

TRACY'S POV:

I drove to the site where the shoot will take place.

There were as many reporters on the site as I had planned.

There were also people who were curious to know whom I will choose for the famous brand.

I entered the site with my body guards to avoid the reporters from approaching me, at least they are not needed right now.

“Miss Whitmore is here! The youngest billionaire in the city and beyond”.

“She looks so stunning”.

I heard different whispers as I walked past the people that came to watch what would happen.

I saw the shock on Ava's face as she saw me.

Anna, and Dante were also standing in surprise.

“Look, who is here, are you also here for the shoot? When did you become a star? Or did you climb a rich man’s bed to be able to come here?”. Ava who seems not to recognize my identity yet said with an arrogant tone.

“Did you also sulk up to your parents  for them to bring you here?”. She got angry at my question and wanted to slap me but one of my guards blocked her.

“Tracy, haven't you done enough already? What are you doing here?”. Anna asked with a glare.

“What I am here for is none of your business but Ava's business. She had the guts to bite the finger that feeds her; she would get the result of her actions soon”.

“What do you mean by that? Can you even afford the meal that I eat a day? Or the brands of clothes that I wear? Tracy, you are really overestimating yourself”.

I smiled at her and climbed up the pulpit in order to choose who would represent my brand.

“Hello ladies and gentlemen I am happy that each one of you has made time to come for this special event. I don't have much time left. I would like to call out the girls that want to represent the brand. This year's endorser will be chosen by the masses, each star will come and take their best picture and the masses will choose their favourite”.

“Tracy, what the hell are you doing? Is it in your place to speak what will happen to the stars and who gets to vote for us? I will call Miss Whitmore right now, to come and show you your place”. 

“Ava, why don't you go ahead and call this Miss Whitmore”. I challenged.

“Ava, who did you say again, that you contacted about this contract?”. Anna who seemed to understand what's going on asked.

“Her name is Miss Whitmore, she is a famous business tycoon. She deals on different business and they are….”.

“Ava, she is Miss Whitmore”. Anna announced to Ava who looked on with shock.

“Anna, what are you saying? How can this wretched fool be the feared Miss Whitmore?”. Ava asked in shock. 

“Remember the appointment that brought me to Folks city? She was also the same person that showed up for it after making me wait for so many hours”. 

“I can't believe this, Anna, let me call her then you will know that she is just an imposter”. Ava quickly brought out her phone while everyone watched her, I made sure that the reporters took pictures and videos of her.

She dialed the number and my phone started ringing. 

She was shocked but she refused to believe it. She dialed the number again and my phone rang.

“Satisfied now?”. I asked with a smirk.

“I know that I hardly appear in public, that's why Miss Ava is confused. Like I said before, I don't have much time, let's begin”.

Ava stormed out but before she could exit fully, I stopped her.

“Miss Ava, if you leave right now, you will pay for breach of contract”. 

“What are you talking about? I didn't sign any contract”.

“Think well Miss Ava, you signed another contract. I have my copy with me”.

“Tracy, you are evil. I will ruin you”. She said and stormed off.

I knew she would come back because I made sure that she signed that contract for a reason.

The stars came one after another and took their best shot. 

Dante was staring at me silently all these while but he never said a word.

I walked down from the pulpit and stood before him.

“Do you have anything to say to me?” I asked and Anna gave me a glare.

“I just wish we can make up. Please Tracy let go of the anger in your heart and let's start anew”.

I smiled because I saw this as an opportunity to achieve my aim but if I say I have forgiven him, he won't believe me.

“I will give you a chance to prove to me that you are worthy to be friend”.

“I won't disappoint you”. He replied with a smile. 

Dante, you are just a chess game in my hand now.
