Masukhey... so, i finally found the motivation to start writing the rest of this story. i really really want to finish this story now, and it's all for the readers (if there are still any) that still supports my writing up to this day. i'll try my hardest, and i'm sorry for keep on ghosting my responsibility. i'll try to be better this time ♡ (p.s: still lazy but i'll really try)
After I left the building, I went to my store to mingle with customers for some time. I have to show up more often now since I want to inform everyone about my brand expansion in Asia. I just want them to spread the word for me, and encourage other people to show their support even just on social media.It’s already a huge help, and I’m not even paying them any amount of money.“I’m on my way. It’ll only be a couple of minutes.” I say to my father over the phone.He demanded me to go to his mansion without telling me the reason why. I am currently driving while wishing in my head that I won’t be stuck in traffic.My father abruptly ends the phone call without a single last word uttered.What is going on with my old man? I’m not used to this version of him.He’s cold, but he’s not this cold before.“Fuck,” I cuss to myself when the car in front me stops because of the red light ahead.“It’s not even rush hour yet, but this is already happening.” I sigh; trying to calm myself.Should I
“Are you listening?”The moment that I hear Kevin’s voice, I am instantly pulled out of my reverie as I act being attentive to the meeting happening right now.It's about my jewelry brand's expansion in Asia.“Yeah, of course. I'm just trying to think of other possible factors.” I smile to hide the lie.I wasn't listening at all, but he seems to believe me when he nods with a small smile.I hope you're listening, Kevin. Because after this, I'm going to need you to retell me the details 'cause I'm not listening at all.My mind is too occupied with something else, and I know that I should've just rescheduled the meeting, but I'm overly excited about our launch next week.Finally! It took us 6 months of hard work to attempt entering the business borders of Asia. It was a tough patch, but I was persistent to push through. I have a strong good feeling about this and I just can't ignore that. It's going to be good for my brand and for my name.I've been praying for this to happen, and now,
“Showtime, Ms. Aglauros.”As I prepare myself to grace the runway, I take a deep breath to relax.Anything could go wrong. It's been a while since I walked the runway for a brand—especially a lingerie brand.“3, 2, 1...” I brush off the anxiety and then plaster a sweet yet seductive smile.I start to execute my signature catwalk strut with my feet moving according to the song playing.It's Gimme More by Britney Spears. An all-time favorite by many.The crowd goes wild at the sight of me. Cameras flashing left and right; fans raising their placards with my face on it. I wave at the camera before blowing it a kiss when I reach the end of the runway.The lacy lingerie I'm wearing right now is one of the sets I wore when I did the photoshoot weeks ago. The photoshoot went very well, and my photos boosted the sales of the magazine where my photos were featured. The brand couldn't resist but had me wear the lingerie that stood out the most in the runway because of the photoshoot.And I could
When I finally got home, I had to convince myself that this night is not only revolving around that awful family dinner.I can do something to change the mood that I'm in right now.Hell, I would even do a photoshoot even if it's already past eleven.Wait... that's it! Photoshoot.Goddamn, I forgot that my manager informed me about a photoshoot today.That could lift me up in an instant. I miss being in a set.With that in mind, I quickly forgot about the family dinner as I fumbled for my phone in my purse.I try to turn it on, but it's unresponsive.“Fuck, it's dead.” I murmur to myself.I walk inside my bedroom to charge my phone and use it while it's still plugged on.When it finally lit up, I wasted no second and dialed my manager’s phone number.“Hey, I know it's late—”“Where were you, darling? I have been calling you since eight.”I couldn't tell if my manager is mad at me or not. But that's not my concern right now.“It doesn't matter. Of course, we're still waiting for you! E
As I play with my food on the plate, I tell myself that all of this will be over any minute now.Keanu and his father are talking about how peaceful life was in Germany. And Keanu was the one who spent years in Germany, yet Uncle Naveen is the one that has a lot to share with the family.He claims that his son was never a failure like how the public had captured him to be, when he vanished after the cheating allegations spread like wildfire.Among us, Keanu was the only Aglauros in our generation that had married and got divorced after it was proven that he was cheating on his wife with a stripper in Vegas.Now, if it happened to any of us, I know how it'll excite Uncle Naveen to call us a disgrace in every family dinner.Especially if it happened to me.“Keanu certainly missed being here with us. Germany wasn't much of a challenge for him.”I bite my lip to contain my laughter. Wasn't much of a challenge? Before he left he was met with great challenges, yet what did he do? He abandon
“I’m surprised you’re here.”Lucan greets me with a kiss on my cheek before leading me inside the family’s mansion.“I am too.” I kiss him back on his cheek. “But since I’ve already had enough shame this week, I decided I need to be here because I don’t want to be disowned by my father.”Lucan gives me a disappointed face, “Yeah, I heard that from Trudy too.”As we make our way inside, the maids greet us all smiles and enthusiastic. But I know very well that they’re faking it. I don’t really think that there’s a single maid in here that genuinely shows us that they love to be here and that they love to serve.“I think this is the only time that we’re not complete for the family dinner.”I instantly feel the need to ask Lucan. “What do you mean?”“Well, out of the seven Aglauros brothers, only four are present with their families. The others? They won’t be able to make it.”This just shows that the family is not really fond of Uncle Naveen and his tricks. And who the hell will be fond
