My make up artist is now fixing me up, I have a lot of appointments going on for today, but others moved their schedule, so it was lessened as well as my worries it decreased.
But the issue yesterday started popping out on articles and news.
Damn it, I'm doomed if people will make it a big deal.
Being issued when you're a model can make a big effect on the job, maybe some of my clients will backdrop because of what happened yesterday.
I knew from myself that I didn't do anything wrong, besides someone saved me because he knew that I'm in danger and the majority of people in that club saw what happened.
But you know if someone hates you even though you're right, you'll still be wrong in their own eyes.
"Ms.Carolina your manager has been calling you for three times," My assistant said.
I snapped back to reality because I was driven by my thoughts and worries about what happened yesterday.
That was the first time someone disrespected me just because of how I dress. Why can't they just normalise everything now since we're already in a contemporary style of living?
Dignity isn't about how we dress, let people enjoy what they want to wear for pete's sake.
"What the hell did you do yesterday? Articles are stating that you slapped someone, is that true? Did you know how damaging is getting issued?" My manager asked fuming mad.
"Before you get mad at someone please let them explain. I just went there to hang out with Sierra, and this guy with a white suit made a scene because I spilt my juice on him. Believe it or not, I didn't do anything wrong and yes I did slap him because he was disrespecting how I dress."
"What the? That's all? Then why do articles and news are making it a big deal?"
"Yes, that's all and I don't have any idea why some articles are making it dramatic. Please do something about it or I'll be blacklisted within a day."
"Yes, I will. Alright, since the majority of the people saw what happened yesterday with you this issue will be easy to solve. I'll handle everything don't worry and sorry."
"It's alright. Let's go, Diane."
We are now driving to Clover Casino which is my next appointment.
"What's next after this?" I asked Diane, my assistant
"Meeting with a client."
"Who?"
"Mr.Dabal, assistant of the head of Griffin Men's Magazine."
"Okay."
My appointment this hour is a shooting for a casino's photo card and I have to be naked for this shoot.
Nudity is part of the job besides there is nothing wrong with showing off your skin unless you're obliged to do it or you wanted it, aside from that we don't actually have to show our private parts since we're a Glamour Model, not a Pornstar.
After the photo card's shoot, we went to Griffin's office to meet the client.
Heads started turning and gossips started spreading when I entered the building.
"What's your appointment ma'am?" The Lobbyist asked Diane.
"Meeting with Mr.Dabal."
"Name?"
"Carolina Benevolent De Guzman, Glamour Model."
"Ms.De Guzman please sign here first before we proceed to Mr.Dabal's office."
"Okay," I said and signed in a piece of paper.
"This way ma'am," The Lobbyist said glancing at me while leading us to the elevator.
This building has thirtieth stories and we went all the way to the twenty ninetieth floor.
"Diane, did you brought a water?" I asked because the movement of the elevator is making me dizzy.
"I didn't miss," She answered.
"Don't worry the office has a water inside, but Ms.De Guzman is the only one allowed to enter the office since she's the one who has an appointment with Mr.Dabal," The Lobbyist said I nod as an answer.
The elevator's door opened and a big wide open area with classical designs welcomed us.
"You can sit here while waiting for Ms.De Guzman," The Lobbyist told Diane.
"Sure," Diane answered.
"This way Ms.De Guzman, please wait for Mr.Dabal he's in the restroom. If you want some water there's a water dispenser inside," The Lobbyist opened the door for me in the middle of a wide glassed wall.
"Okay thanks," I said and smiled at her.
What the heck? This is his assistant's office?
His office is also in a classical way of design full of black and white colours.
And now that I entered I surveyed the whole area first while, waiting because I'm amazed by how it is made.
Astonishing, that's all I can say.
I suddenly stop at the painting in the middle, it's a topless man with a bulk body wearing a blindfold sitting on a big sofa with a Lion below him.
There's a small word written in the painting, but I didn't have the chance to see it anymore because someone suddenly opened a door at the left side corner of the office.
I was shocked.
The guy yesterday, the one who saved me.
"Hi!" I greeted him with a smile.
"What are you doing?" He asked lacking any expression on his face while walking towards my way.
"Uh... I'm just surveying the whole area because I-I'm amazed by the interior design and I'm actually here for Mr.Dabal," I said stuttering.
Now that I can see his face clearly, his presence is making me nervous.
He has this overawing effect which can make you uncomfortable when you're with or beside him.
"For how long have you been waiting?" He asked and sat on the sofa infront of me.
"Not that long."
"Okay."
"Are you Mr.Dabal?" I asked confusingly.
"Yes, why?"
Oh... So he's the guy I'm waiting for.
"N-nothing just shocked."
"Why are you surprised?" He asked spreading his arms around the sofa's backrest staring at me without even blinking.
"Uh... Cause I didn't expect that I will see you here. By the way, thank you for saving me yesterday," I said.
"What's your full name?" He asked without minding my last sentences.
"Carolina Benevolent De Guzman."
"How old are you?"
"Twenty three."
"How tall are you?"
"Five feet four inches."
"Aren't you tired of standing? You look like you're about to fall on the floor anytime soon,"
I settled down quickly on a single-seater.
How can he be so comfortable? When I'm here standing in front of him wobbling like a jelly.
"Why are you there?" He asked.
"What?" I asked full of confusion.
"Sit here," He said tapping his right side while staring at me.
What the hell?
I was about to stand but a bark of laughter suddenly filled the whole room.
"You're really going to follow what I said?" He asked grinning.
"Yes," I said directly.
"Why?" He asked turning his emotions back to serious.
"I mean no! But y-yes! Since you're my client."
"Oh... So, you're going to do everything your clients say?" He asked amazed "Okay then, strip."
"What!?" I bawled.
Why the fuck would he suddenly ask me to strip?
"You said you'll do everything your clients say right? Now I'm telling you to remove all of your clothes."
Ugh! This guy is getting into my nerves! He was acting like a hero yesterday and look at him now!
"I have to go and tell your boss that I'm not accepting his offer," I said and stood up to leave his place.
"Oh... Why?" He asked pretending to be sad of my departure.
"Because his assistant is rude."
He started laughing again like a mental hospital patient.
"Assistant who?" He asked laughing "Do you want me to introduce myself to you, Darling? I think you don't know who you are talking to," He stood up and went closer to me.
He tucked a strand of my hair behind my ears and whispered something.
"I'm dangerous."
I was confused. What is he saying? Who would name their child dangerous? Isn't it weird?
"Now leave if you don't want to accept my offer," He said having a strong expression in his face.
I slowly left the room, dumbfounded.
"Let's go," I told Diane but she kept on asking what's happening to me "Fast!" I shouted at her.
After reaching the elevator I breathe deeply to catch some air I left in his office.
"Miss do you want some water? It looks like you're running out of saliva and blood because you're so pale."
"Yes!" I shouted and grabbed the bottle of water in her hand.
I forgot to drink water inside because of that guy, damn him!
After drinking the water I snapped back to reality, what the hell happened to me? I mean what the hell did he do to me? Did he just hypnotize me?
"Ms.Carolina what happened with your appointment?"
"Is he really the assistant of the Griffin's CEO!?"
"Yes, miss he really is."
"Goodness! I need a break, cancel all of my appointments!"
"But miss you're already done for today."
"Whatever! Just drive me home! I need peace and beauty rest."
"I know miss, he's hot and it's so awkward to be around some hot guys."
"He's not! He's scary."
What the hell is happening to me, it's been the second time he's making me uneasy.
Yes, he saved me yesterday but he's telling me how to dress too and now he wanted to see my naked body!? If I would've known that his attitude is like that I would refuse to his offer or cancel my appointment with him.
Every time we're in the same space I'm getting so uncomfortable except him who can even tell me to remove all of my clothes!
Alright, I admit that he is hot! but he's scary! I hate how confident and authoritative he is, he's so arrogant and I hate everything about him!
He's like a predator and it's dangerous to be around him when you knew you are a prey.
Finally! Inner peace. This day is so exhausting and annoying.That guy ruined my mood. He's so full of authority and confidence, how come he's just an assistant? He should've switch positions with his boss.I was about to tuck myself onto my bed to take a rest, but the doorbell started ringing.When will I live a peaceful life?I opened the door and Sierra showed up holding two bottles of beer, damn this alcohol addicted woman."If you're here just to drink with me I'm not in the mood Sierra Simmons, I need to take a rest this day is so cruel to me," I said slowly closing the door.
"Up for a party?" Sierra asked over a call."Yes, please I need to have fun my days became miserable since I met that arrogant guy.""You're overreacting again, Carol just don't mind his arrogance and continue to live like what you used to. Besides, why are you so affected with him that much?""You don't get it, Sierra I'll tell you later what I witnessed earlier.""Great! I'll meet you at the club okay?""Yes, see you!"I'm wearing a nude dress and a nude pump. I don't need any foundations or eyeshadows, my face is perfectly fine it's just my lips who's pale that needs to have some color.As I entered the club people are staring at me, who wouldn't? If they saw an angel like me it's normal to turn their heads, lol just kidding.I saw Sierra sitting on the sofa with a girl, what the hell that traitor.
Four in the morning.Someone is calling me making my phone ring continuously."Hello," I greeted lazily."Hi, miss! Remember you have to be at Mr.Sapphirus office by seven good luck!""Tell him that I'm not coming.""Are you going to quit your job miss?""Yes!""But why?""Because of him and why would you call in the middle of my sleep? Goodness Diane!""Mr.Sapphirus asked me to call you though.""Tell him to mind his own business--""Give it to me. I'll talk to her," I heard the arrogant's voice behind Diane."Tell him that I don't want to work with him!""Good morning," He greeted with a deep tone."Nothing is good in the morning!""Can you lessen your v
The magazine cover that features me and Sapphirus went viral.Everyone is shipping us and commenting that we're a good match."Congratulations!" My manager said."Miss you became trending in social media because of your visual," Diane said.We are inside Sapphiru's office celebrating our achievement.I just smiled at Diane as an answer. After all, I'm busy answering my phone's messages because my auntie and friends are congratulating me."Since you guys became trending why don't you both pretend sweet to each other?""What the hell?" I suddenly stopped answering messages on my phone because of what I heard."Agree!""Like whenever Mr.Sapphirus go to an event with his co-business man, you'll be his partner.""This isn't included in the contract," I said and went back to
"What the hell do you want!?" I asked and shoved his hands."It's already past one a.m and Diane said that we have something to talk about right!?""So what!? It is not that urgent!""So your job is not important either flirting important!?"Everyone is already looking at us, even the ones who are walking while the others are taking pictures"Nothing is flirting with that!""Let's go," he said calming himself and opened his car's door.I entered the backseat and he started glaring at me and was about to say something, but he just let out a deep breath and ignored it."Why did you do that? And how did you found out my whereabouts?" I asked him as soon as we stepped on his office."You told Diane that you wanted to talk to me to clear things and to change your not appropriate actions to proper."
"Carol tell me what happened?" My manager asked, they went here because Brigor dismissed them."I don't know! He's acting really strange!" I said panicking."Like?""He k-kissed me, and then I stopped him.""Why the hell did he kissed you?""I don't know! He's acting so out of place! When he fetch me in the restaurant he was acting like a hero and then when he told his secretary to call me in his office he was swe-ugh! I can't say the word!""Sweet because he kissed you?"
"I will take this off on one condition.""What is it?""Come with me.""Where?" He asked and place his left hand on my thigh."Anywhere except this place.""Okay let's go," He grabbed my wrist and raised his hands on his friend as a farewell."Where are we going?""Anywhere except this place"As soon as we entered his car, he immediately removed my mask."I knew it," He said and kissed me passionately down to my neck"Wait," I said but he didn't listen "Wait!" I bawled and move my head in the opposite direction."What!?" He asked mad."Calm yourself.""Say whatever you want fast""Bring us back,""Yeah okay," He carried me and placed me on top of him
We were all shocked when he removed his coat and his polo.This guy is seriously insane."Is this okay?" He asked referring to his body.Nobody answered him cause their attention was centred on Brigor's body.I placed both of my palms on my face, ashamed of what Brigor did while the guy next to me couldn't stop his self from laughing."Damn Brigor," Zian said while continuously laughing."What?" Brigor asked."Superb Mr.Griffin," The manager said."What? You're going to remove me?" Zian asked chuckling."Yeah get out of there," Brigor said."Is this allowed?" I asked."Shut up and enjoy," Brigor said annoyed of my question.Why would they let Brigor change role with Zian? When in fact Zian was the assigned model?
