Kelly's POV “What!? Come on Bae. You know how uncomfortable I am with a driver or someone looking after me like I am a kid.” I grumbled, storing the ice cream in the fridge and slamming it shut in Ivy's face while she flinched slightly.Alex cupped my face, kissing my forehead while Ivy grabbed his fingers attempting to feast on them.“But it's for your own safety and protection. No one knows who we are up against now. The first time it was a mysterious guy at the mall and now it's a car driving at full speed with the driver having a creepy smile on while racing to scramble me like an egg. Today may just be luck but luck doesn't come easy, My dear.” My brows furrowed slightly, my lips pouty in slight anger.“The incident that happened at the mall could just be purely coincidental but that doesn't mean I'll have to take a guard around and also a driver. It's so inconveniencing. Bae, you have to change your mind. This decision of yours doesn't sit well with me.”“It’s for your own sa
Kelly's POV Three days later.“I have been busy for the past few days. Life has been so dramatic for me.” I sighed, standing by the window side and staring out into the rising morning sun.“That's actually sad. I would have called you earlier but I thought that since you had become the model you dreamed about, that you wouldn't have the time to answer an insignificant person like me.” Jasmine uttered over the phone, her voice laced with disappointment.“Don't talk like that, Jas. Of course I would never consider you unimportant. In fact you matter to me as much as ivy matters to me. It's been a while since we last spoke. How's your mother-in-law?”. “She's great. She's been in good health. She's really worried because she misses Ivy.”“Awnnn.. How sweet and compassionate of her. Ivy misses her as well. Tell her we will come visiting one of these days. She should just have a little more patience. Alex and I have her in mind.”Jasmine sighed over the phone and I could clearly tell she
Kelly's POV “I beg you to overlook Mrs Amanda's display of childishness. If I knew this was how it would eventually turn out, I wouldn't have asked you to meet up with her.” Mrs Cathe apologized genuinely.“It’s not your fault, Mrs Cathe. I would have punched her face if you weren't here.”Mrs Cathe chuckled lightly, shaking her head. “I know you would have punched the living cells out of her, Kelly. You have such a fire in you, and honestly I really admire how you controlled your rage. Because believe me when I say that Mrs Amanda is not worth your anger.”I sighed, crossing my arms. “i still can't believe what my ears heard earlier. She called me greedy, Mrs Cathe. Can you imagine? After offering me such a cheap deal, that woman still has no respect.”“You’re right,” she agreed softly, placing her hand on mine. “But I would plead with you, Kelly on’t to let her words weigh you down. Better offers will come, and when they do, you’ll know your worth is more than what Amanda tried to
Kelly's POV “You arrived just in time, Mrs Kelly. Please have a seat.” Mrs. Cathe offered, pointing at a cushion in her office.I perched myself on the seat, straightening my dress while anxiously waiting for the arrival of the client.The door opened gently after a knock and Mrs Cathe’s secretary walked in.“Mrs Amanda has arrived, ma'am.” The personal assistant stated, her eyes lowered in respect.“Usher her in.” Mrs Cathe bothered and after a few seconds the client walked in with so much aura that made the room shift.My eyes quickly assessed the client from head to toe. She looked like a woman in her early fifties, her wrinkled skin a testament of how matured she was.She was dressed in a neat navy-blue suit and matching trousers that spoke of her class and authority. Her eyes lit up the moment they fell on me. She smiled, the skin around her eyes wrinkled.“Oh my goodness, Mrs Kelly,” she said warmly, her smile genuine. “ Oh my gosh. You are breathtaking. You look more beautiful
Kelly's POV “You should have walked out, Kelly. Is this so-called Mr Adrian trying to sell your dignity or not?”. Daniella noted, her voice rising.“You are interpreting it wrongly. Mr Adrian just wants to give you what he feels you are worth. I think I trust him.” Alex uttered, smiling to emphasis his thoughts I looked between Daniella and Alex, literally not knowing what to think or how to think about it. Daniella and Alex both see him in different ways, and that’s what confuses me,” I muttered, rubbing my temples gently. Daniella folded her arms, her brows furrowed. “Kelly, men like him don’t give without expecting something back. I don't just think he is worth your time, Kelly.Alex leaned closer, shaking his head. “Not everyone is out to harm you Kelly. Sometimes people just see potential and want to invest in you. You might be getting it all wrong.”Their words made sense but in an indifferent way. Daniella didn't trust Mr Adrian and she had a valid reason to but Alex seemed
Kelly's POV “A lot you say, Mr Adrian. You seem to know how to choose your words properly. I am amazed. By alot do you mean, connections and other stuff that comes with it?”.Adrian’s eyes sparkled as he leaned back, his fingers tapping lightly on the table. A waitress passed just in time.“A bottle of cold water, please.” I ordered, my gaze fixed on the waitress though I could feel Mr Adrian's gaze fixed on me. “Yes ma'am. What about you, Mr?”. The waitress asked Mr Adrian.“The same order this adorable woman here placed.” He replied rather lusciously, earning a soft lips smack.The waitress bowed slightly and walked away to get our orders.“As we were saying, Mrs Kelly. I am here to help you. I am here to give you connections, influence and doors that will open for you without you even knocking. I am offering you more than just a position in my magazine. I am offering you a stage where the world will see you and never forget your impact. You will be known as the model of the cent
