Allie's POV Silence. We were all peacefully throwing gazes at each other as if waiting for the torpedo among us to clarify the situation. I racked my brain for the best retort to give Aaron who kept gaping from my legs to his chauffeur whose head is now bowed and hands folded like a kid caught at the moment he was about to steal meat from the pot of soup. "You can leave and be back tomorrow morning" Aaron dismissed, referring to his palpitating driver, Richard scampered out without hesitation or utterance. Aaron gave me an intense knowing stare before spinning around to leave. I clasped his arm not feeling settled regarding the fact that he did not say a phrase. He googled at my hand on his arm and I left it like it burnt me. I cleared my throat and voiced out what was on my mind, especially because Richard had told me what was reckoned to be a secret and I had spurred it out and now this, I wouldn't like to be the source of his misery. "I was the one that invited him to dinner.
A month later~~~~~~~ Allie's POV Swivel, waist showcase, flip the hair, blow a kiss. cut. "yeah! That's great, "The head of our group said, applauding the brown-haired model. I later comprehended his name to be Mr Gregory. He is talented, which got me clueless about why they ranked us with the least points after the month's evaluation. I still haven't had the chance to explore though, and there was a time I had wanted to point out a mistake but I held back with the agitation of history repeating itself. "That's the end for today. Remember, Allie your first project is next Monday." he reminded me, hands clasped together and his eyes scrutinizing me that was straining to hide my excitement. My phone and his pinged at the same time. He inspected his own and a smug grin appeared on his face. Without saying any more sentences he twirls around pressing his phone. I also swiped my iPhone to check what was up, and I was stunned to see a credit alert of $80,000. My eyes went wide
My sleepy eyes flew wide open at the message. I firmly held the phone, in agitation and read it word by word and yet it was correctly typed. No typography error. My heart beat out of rhyme a few times, eyebrows tucked and a finger on my lips internally deliberating on those scribbled words, until I reasoned on the best rejoinder to resolve my dazed state of mind " He must have messaged the wrong person". I sighed with ease, put it in silent mode and pressed the off button. I stretched my hand to slot my phone on the couch horizontally positioned beside the low mattress but it vibrated before my hand could make contact with the divan. I grumbled irritatedly and forcefully swiped to read the message. I was already angry, as I fumed like he was here. "We are going on a date tomorrow. Come back earlier""On a date? Why me? What's my business with you, Mr Aaron? you have numerous women at the tip of your fingers." I scoffed, unbelievably, hunching my back to smoothen my top that had sq
"Is this some kind of sick joke? How the hell were you working for Austin all this while and I wasn't acquainted? " He muttered angrily, eyes honed at me in a query. His gaze shifted from anger back to being furious while I just stared at him like he had officially gone, psycho. Who asks such an absurd question? To hell, his behaviour is getting out of control. "Were you invited to the conference party? " he questioned, pinching the bridge of his nose with his neck still crooked at me. "What party?" I inquired, eyebrows creased in puzzlement. "I see you weren't invited" he confirmed, nodding his head, his facade conveying a taunting emotion. "No, I was invited but I decided not to go since today was an important day for me. I wouldn't miss that for anything" I said, shrugging my shoulders to convey a nonchalant expression. "Stop pretending to be cool with it. little one, You. and I know, you wouldn't be invited to Austin's party if hell froze over, a contagious disease infected
It felt like my feet were glued on the spot, as I stood there, contemplating whether to glance or find my way to my room. My feet automatically swivel around and my body does the same. Curiosity kills the cat. It won't kill me if I sneak a peek right? The man who was holding the single microphone seemed to be the M.C. He eventually stopped talking, probably reigning praises on the other one in a suit who had finally sat on a high director chair with a standing microphone opposite him. I whetted my eyes at Aaron and realized the pompous fella was already sitting on a recliner, legs crossed on the other. His knuckles folded and positioned under his chin. He was watching the event with keen interest. I pointed my gaze back to the television when I silently heard, "the diamonds". It was at that moment, my ears stretched wide open and my appeal was poked. My core thud once, when I detected the feature of the man was familiar, the man sitting. Where? how? Austin?! realization dawned
Allie's POVThe numbers of people continue rising and with shaky hands, I aggressively scroll through my phone to click on Lydia's digit. It went through after three beeps. "Where are you?" she asked. "I'm in the car. Why? What's going on? Why are there so many people at the entrance?! " "The main case is, are you safe? The securities are trying to control the whole buzz. Don't come out of the car, they are Kendall fans. I don't know how they got the information that she will be here. I was lucky to scale through. You need to calm down." she reassured me. "Okay, then" I breathed, holding onto her words that the situation would subside sooner or later. They better be quick. Once I had cut the call, I heard the siren. The corps had arrived. Even with the warning sound, the crowd still refused to quit their chants. It was now I figured out they were shouting "Our Queen, Kendall"I observed the corps attempt to make them take off, and at the same time, they were cautioning them not
Allie's POV Tuesday went by faster than I had deemed. I concealed my time and made myself gaudy with formulating slopes and satisfying sites for our next project. My next project. I also ensured to make an effort with our marketer on our marketing strategy. I have no idea when I will be appointed though, but I know sooner or later I wil. I need to prepare ahead. Recently, while I was going through some modeling documentaries. I longed to come across those that were employed on the same day as me. I hadn't set my eyes on them since then. I would love to know how they are fitting in. I grab my non-branded but favourite bag. I fell in love with it the first time I saw it, neatly hung on the marketer's rack. I straightened my skirt which had squeezed from seating for hours and grabbed my jacket. Thankfully I wasn't feeling exhausted like the previous day. Lydia darted her attention at me from her sitting position. She still has some work to deal with," Just some more minutes, pleas
I mulled on resuming from where she stopped for a while. Which I did. I concluded on eating the delectable-looking carrot cake dessert pizza as a side and Rice/Chicken/Salad. That contains the best recipe. Yummy. "I'm sure he doesn't want to eat it anymore with that stare of his and then again this ain't getting wasted," I thought considering the real owner of the food. I reversed back with three steps, spin and rushed out of the kitchen towards the direction of my room. I used a side eye to quickly scrutinize the living room if I could get a glance of those two, but they were nowhere to be found. Good for me. I flung my coat on my queen-sized bed, and hastily stepped into the bathroom, running a shower on my body. Normally, if I want to take the rate at which I was famished into consideration, I wouldn't bother to wash up but bruh… I stink and I wouldn't be comfortable while eating. I would love to enjoy my meal without any hindrance. I shrank my clothes into my laundry room. I
