"We didn't get the loan, again," Susan informed both her friends. Her shoulders slumped in disappointment. Aurora sat on the chair in her living room while Susan sighed in dismay. "Maybe we are not made for this…" Emily murmured. Susan jerked her head towards her. "We are not losers, do you both understand me? We will strive in this business even if I have to…" she stopped herself from speaking further she didn't want to ask her father's help. "No, I won't join this team if you are going to ask for money from your father, Susan."Aurora was numb. Detached. She recalled how she told Gabriel two months ago that she will prove herself in the Jewellery business and now hearing Emily's words. She didn't know what to feel. She could ask her father and he would help her in an instant but she couldn't do that. First, Emily would never agree and second Gabriel, asked her to take a time of six months to prove herself without her father's help and if she didn't succeed then she would help h
Gabriel chuckled and led her to his apartment where he arranged a table for them. "Yes I can see that you have gained pounds in two months, look at other girls, Aurora they all are slim and beautiful and here you are gaining weight every day. You are lucky I am not like other men who want their girls to look like a model," Aurora looked at her figure in the mirror and felt ashamed of her body. He was right, I am good at nothing. Not a business and not in looks too. She swallowed a sob, "I will start dieting from today."Gabriel held her face in his hands. "Why? I love the way you are Aurora. I don't want you to change anything for me. I will always love you even if I have to live my whole life without getting any kind of physical satisfaction from you. I don't care about these physical things, what matters to me is your love."Aurora fidgeted her fingers, as she recalled the time when they tried to take their relationship to the next level and she told Gabriel that she didn't feel
Aurora Kings, we did it!" Aurora sat down on the bed, her sleep formally ruined with Emily screaming over the phone. "Emily Smith, have you looked at the time, it's 2 AM. What was so important that you couldn't wait till the morning? Or at least for a civilised hour, two in the morning!" She muttered in anger. It's been two weeks since Gabriel went back to his camp and since then she had done nothing except for sleep."To hell with your sleep Aurora, You will scream louder than me when I tell you what exactly happened," Aurora rolled her eyes, she was talking as if she got selected in the Miss Worlds beauty pageant."What happened Emily?" She asked."My dear Aurora kings, We got selected for the world’s biggest jewellery show. Oh My God, I can’t believe that we got such a big opportunity."Aurora frowned. "What! But how is that possible Em! We never participated in any show?""Well," she cleared her throat and took a dramatic pause before speaking again. "It was Susan and I who se
Aurora closed her eyes, trying to make a decision and the scene of Gabrial telling her about washing dishes in his restaurant appeared like a nightmare in her vision.She opened her eyes, determined. "I am ready Emily. Send me the contract and I will sign it.""Bravo! So I have already shown it to our lawyer, and Anderson is pretty much okay with it. No need to go through it again, just sign it and then we are off to Vancouver, baby.""Wow! Just thinking about winning the contest is like a dream to me…" She squealed over the phone. Even Aurora's tummy fluttered in excitement." oh and yes, I am standing outside the home, open the damn door, sweetheart."Aurora walked downstairs and opened the door. There stood one kf her best friend. She stepped in and Aurora hugged her tightly in excitement. "I can't believe it, Emily." she almost screamed in happiness."Wait till you win it, babe…" She nodded because Aurora couldn't find the words to explain her feelings. They both walked to the li
"Hello, Vancouver city…" Susan sang while stepping down the stairs. Emily and Aurora were behind Susan. The city greeted them with good weather and a lot of sunshine."I have planned the whole stay here. Hiking, boating, shopping…" Emily started but was immediately interrupted by their workaholic Susan. "Nope! We are here for work, not holidays, girl."Emily curled her lips to one side. "Will you stop telling me what to do and what not! God Susan, you behave like a mother hen." She said, throwing her hands in the air, clearly showing her irritation towards Susan.Aurora glanced at Emily and Susan, sighed and walked slowly away without any of them noticing her. Her father was shocked when she told him about the contest but he accepted her decision and only allowed her to leave If she let him take care of the arrangements in Vancouver. Aurora agreed immediately in happiness.The driver opened the door for her. She passed him a smile but before settling inside she looked at her friend
Katie smiled. "Please don't be offended. Mr Joshua has germophobia, he never shakes hands with anyone.""Oh!" She muttered while Susan and Emily nodded. "You are assigned to the presidential suite. Our contest will start tomorrow, all other contestants have arrived and are taking rest In their particular rooms. Please enjoy the services of the hotel but be ready till eight in the morning with your designs in the auditorium. There you will be introduced to the judges." They all nodded at the information. "Best of luck for the show…" She said flashing her perfectly white teeth as she handed Aurora the electronic key. "Your luggage has already been delivered to your suite.""Thank you.." Susan said as they walked away. Aurora widened her eyes in excitement. "We are going to rock this show…" she sang, clapping he hands softly and arching her brows. Even Aurora was behaving like her old self. The happy self. Emily blew Aurora a kiss. "We're gonna do that, but now let's go to our suite
What are you both doing here?" Aurora asked Susan and Emily while towel drying her hair. Susan sat on the bed and leaned back with her palms flat on the bed sheet. "What do you think, we came to call you, Our Pizza is getting cold girl!" "Oh!" She whispered and walked towards the mirror, starting the hairdryer, when she finished drying her hair Aurora turned towards her friends. "Let's go then, I am dying of hunger." They both smiled at the same time, Aurora scowled at them "are you both alright?""Ya!" They replied at the same time and Aurora sharpened her eyes at them. "No you are not! What are you both up to? You both are a human version of Tom and Jerry and right now you are behaving like civilised humans, spill the beans what's wrong?"Susan raised her brows. "Human version of Tom and Jerry? Really Aurora Kings!" She asked."I am sure, I am Jerry in your eyes. Am I right Aurora?" Emily asked, crossing her hands to her chest. Aurora giggled. "Well, Susan behaves like Tom.
Susan gave Emily an unimpressed look. "Ya as if it's that easy to kill her, stop this idiotic talk and let's sleep don't forget we have this big fat day tomorrow."The next day all the contestants were gathered in the auditorium."Good morning everyone, hope you all had a good night here but now the battle starts," Miss Kaitie announced over the mic while Mr Joshua was standing beside her again with that stiff face."She is hot!" Aurora heard a man whisper beside Emily who rolled her eyes. "Men!" She whispered. "Well he is not lying, is he?" She asked, being jealous over that perfect slim body of their hostess. ."Will you both shut up and focus on the big picture? We are here to win this battle. Our future depends on this and you both are worried about her figure. Grow up!" Susan scolded them in a mere whisper but looking at the features of the girl sitting beside her Aurora guessed she heard it. Susan followed her gaze and faked a smile to the other girl who glanced at Susan hea
