Chapter 9

Evelyn looks up with a smile.

"In your dream will I Evelyn bow to you not in reality, so it's true that you are back, huh?" Evelyn replied, crossing her arms.

"Of course I'm back, don't you supposed to feel scared, now that I'm back" Viola said.

Evelyn starts to shiver playfully.

"Gosh, I'm scared!" Evelyn mocked with a grin and Viola smirked.

"We will see who will have the last smile" Viola whispers and Evelyn walks to her with a smile.

"I don't feel scared or insecure because of you, it will be good now that I have an opponent, I'm bored of being the only popular model," Evelyn replied, pinching her brow.

"I don't have time for your rant, compensate me for the damaged car" Viola said.

"Oh, did you become so poor after reviving from the death, and I Evelyn doesn't have a dine to pay you" Evelyn replied fearlessly.

"You bitch!" Viola fumed through gritted teeth.

"Plastic face, will you get out of my face?" Evelyn replied.

"You damaged my car right? What I will damage will be more than you, mark my word!" Viola said and she got into the car angrily and the driver drove off.

Evelyn was in a sad mood throughout, her thought was not about Viola but about her being married.

She doubts that the heir will be good, she thinks he will just be like his mother.

She got to ANNING in a few minutes.

Amber rushed to her with a big smile.

"Sis, we are going out to shoot at a five star hotel, maybe I will get to see handsome guys," Amber cheered happily.

"After ditching Nathan, did you think you could see a handsome guy?" Evelyn retorted, walking to Mr. Ronald's office.

"I never dated him!" Amber replied walking faster after Evelyn.

Evelyn slows down and turns back to look at Amber.

"Don't fall clumsily because I don't think Nathan is in the right state to carry you up," Evelyn said and she entered Mr. Ronald's office.

Amber looked sideways before biting her lower lips, just as if Nathan was hearing Evelyn's word.

Nathan passed by her side without giving her a glance.

Amber thought it is good the way he handles his feelings immediately.

She walks back to Evelyn dressing room, she packs everything Evelyn will be needing for the photoshoot at five star hotel.

"Evelyn welcome, I was coming to inform you that you have a photoshoot at five star hotel or did Amber already tell you?" Mr. Ronald asked, looking at her face.

He noticed her face isn't bright as usual, her expression has that of a person who is moody.

"I came here to ask you, Amber was just bluffing," Evelyn replied.

"Are you okay? Your face doesn't look bright as usual," Mr. Ronald's caring voice interrupted.

"I'm good, it's just that I'm missing my dad," Evelyn lied, she can't afford to disclose that she is married because of a mere promise.

"You will be okay right?You know now that Viola is back, you have to buckle up," Mr. Ronald said, putting his on her shoulder.

"Yes I'm aware and I will try my best!" Evelyn replied holding her hand up and Mr. Ronald chuckled.

"So, we should go and prepare for the photoshoot," Mr. Ronald ushed and Evelyn left.

Mr. Ronald let out a sigh after Evelyn left, because Viola is her photoshoot partner, but Evelyn is there as the leading model.

At first Mr. Ronald doesn't want to take the job, but if he doesn't take it, it will be as if Evelyn is intimidated by Viola or the ANNING are afraid of the A.N JELL.

Mr. Ronald has patched up his feelings for Evelyn, now he sees her as a friend and nothing else.

Mr. Ronald was packing some files when Nathan entered.

"Everything is ready, we are set to go" Nathan mutters grumpily.

Mr. Ronald looks at him with a smile.

"Are you still sad because that clumsy girl rejected you?" Mr. Ronald asked, fixing his gaze on Nathan.

"You shouldn't call her that clumsy girl, she has a name" Nathan defended and Mr. Ronald chuckled.

"It's seem you love her very much to also been defending her after she rejected you but my advice to you is this… don't give her your attention like you always do and don't look her side whenever she fell down, you will see, she will long for you and come around" Mr. Ronald advised and Nathan sigh.

"I've been ignoring her but I don't think I can do that for long, but I will try" Nathan replied.

"A broken vase is advising a rejected cup, a pity" Stephen peeps in resting his hands on Nathan's shoulder.

"Pardon?" Mr. Ronald asked, pretending as if he didn't understand what Stephen said.

"No, I just read a novel titled feelings of the heart, and guess what, a guy can't express his feelings and one was rejected, the novel was very funny and I saw the first adage there" Stephen replied bursting into laughter.

"Oh, can you give me the novel, maybe it can solve my problem."

Nathan said not getting the clue that Stephen is mocking them.

"It's been long since I disposed of the novel, doesn't know where it is anymore" Stephen replied with a pout and Mr. Ronald smacked a load of files on Stephen's head.

Stephen looked up at his cousin in irritation and he rubbed his head in annoyance.

"Jokes apart, let's go and watch a movie" Stephen joked.

"The movie you mean, by chance, is Evelyn and Viola?" Nathan asked.

"Yep," Stephen replied, twirling around the room.

"None of you should disclose it to Evelyn that she is shooting with Viola, gerrit!" Mr. Ronald warned.

"Ye gerrit" They chorused and all left Mr. Ronald room.

They met Evelyn, Amber and the trainees that will be needed outside already.

"We are going to take two out of the company bus, Evelyn will be in one, and we all will be in one, '' Mr. Ronald announced and they all understood immediately except Evelyn.

"Why can't we all use one bus, it isn't a big deal or is it?" Evelyn asked.

"Of course it's a big deal, we want you to stand out and let the whole world know how beautiful our model is," Amber lied.

They wanted her to use a personal bus because of Viola, since Viola has arrived they must change everything about Evelyn, even to her stature.

"Why do I think you are becoming weirder these days?" Evelyn shook her head, not expecting an answer.

"Are we weird?" They chorused.

"See, they don't know" Evelyn replied entering into the bus, which the driver is in already.

ANNING has five company buses, most rich modelling companies have two, Mr. Ronald is the sole owner of ANNING.

"Are you entering or not?" Evelyn asked Amber who quickly made her way in.

The rest including Mr. Ronald took the second bus.

They arrived safely at the five star hotel in which the photoshoot will take place.

Mr. Ronald was nervous because Lovely perfume and soap are among the famous company which always move around with reporters

And there is a possibility that Viola will intentionally tackle Evelyn who isn't a dumb girl that won't reply instantly.

Stephen pacifies him that Evelyn is more mature than Viola even though Evelyn is younger than her.

Evelyn was helped with her make up and she has changed into Lovely company shirt. She was to wear it for the shoot and nevertheless she was looking extra gorgeous in the blue shirt and white skirt.

Evelyn went to Mr. Ronald because he hadn't explained the concept of the job to her.

"Mr. Ronald, sorry to disturb you but you haven't explained to me how everything is going to be" Evelyn said and Mr. Ronald stopped addressing the trainees.

"You and one other model will be modelling for Lovely, you will model for their perfume and the other model for their soap" Mr. Ronald replied.

"May I know who the other model is?" Evelyn asked a bit suspicious because it's been long since she collaborated with another model.

"She will be here" Mr. Ronald replied and a trainee enters.

"Mr. Ronald, the other model is here" The trainee said and Mr. Ronald let out a sigh.

Evelyn wasn't able to see the other model because Viola entered the hotel changing room immediately.

Mr. Cladius and Mr. Ronald exchange a silly smile.

Back then when Viola hadn't gotten into an accident, ANNING and A.N JELL were competitors, but after Viola accident A.N JELL couldn't stand beside ANNING, ANNING was the number one company that supplied the best model.

In the modelling company CEO's meeting, Mr. Ronald was made their president and this infuriates Mr. Cladius more, he wanted to get the position for himself.

He was seeking the way to become the president. He was going from one meeting to another, looking for beautiful girls all around America to make his model.

He thought God answered his prayer by sending back Viola to him.
