Mia gestured for me to take a seat in the plush chair in front of the vanity table. She is a renowned makeup artist that did the makeup of most celebrities and public figures.

She was all about confidence and creativity, and I could tell from her demeanor that I was in good hands.

“Let's get started. What kind of look are you envisioning Mrs Blackwood” she asked professionally.

I thought for a moment, unsure of what to say.

“Oh! I can tell what she really wants” a sissy guy with Mia responded.

“She wants a soft glow with a bit of drama around the eyes” he said, demonstrating with his hands as if he could picture the after look.

“Oh! Common Elias. Stop discomforting our client” she said with a gentle laughter.

“Perfect choice ma'am! We'll make you look radiant,” she said, gathering her tools with precision.

Mia blended the foundation seamlessly into my skin, thereby enhancing my natural beauty.

The soft brush strokes felt soothing and I found myself relaxing further into the chair.

  • The Billionaire's contract    Chapter 79. Fashion Home

    I reluctantly entered his car, still feigning displeasure as he drove out of the parking lot. I just want to live like a free bird with no one policing my every move. The mere thought of it made me cringe. “You know you look so cute when you frown” Brian said and I found myself pouting to his compliment. I watched as he laughed hysterically not knowing what hilarious gesture I had made. Brian drove through the bustling street and finally parked in a familiar setting which I quickly recognized. “This is Catherine's fashion home” I said to myself. Apparently, she had reached out to Brian and he accepted. “Welcome… welcome” Catherine said, in her usual light hearted tone in “Thank you Miss Catherine, “ Brian humbly replied. “Where are the others?” “Oh, they are all covering an event this weekend. But I asked for the help of another agency. They'll arrive soon” “Oh Brian” Catherine gestured empathically “Avery is the lead model, so we can start with her till the rest of us com

    I came downstairs on hearing the sounds of chattering and laughter.“Catherine” I called out“Child,” she said, standing up for a hug.She had her usual free-spirited demeanor as if nothing had transpired over the past months“Hmmm. I miss you” She said, as she tightened her grip around me.“Mom, you shouldn't be here” I said, giving off an awkward feeling.“No child, I came to see how my daughter-in- law is faring.“Mom” I called out.“I am no longer your daughter-in-law” I said“Ethan is no longer my husband”“Nonsense!” she bluffed“Ethan is just waiting to get something together. After which he'd come back for you” Catherine playfully explained. But the thought of Ethan coming back for me sent a certain unexplained feeling of excitement. But just as it came, I pushed it away.“Come have a seat” Catherine urged.“Come sit close to me, child”“Mom, this is my house. I can sit anywhere” I muttered “I want you to sit with me,” Catherine insisted.“How have you been? What have Jane

    These words erupted like a rainfall, disturbing the peace of the once quiet room. Ethan sat in silence staring at me as if he was enjoying the whole chaos.“Do something, Ethan” I said to myself but was too reserved to speak to him.After a moment of undisturbed chaos, Ethan finally spoke.“Silence everyone” Ethan called out casually and the room immediately went silent.“Avery Pierce” he called out“You heard what everyone has to say”“You cannot get back your share from the harrison's group. At least not now”He continued…Harrison's group is going through a little financial crisis. Especially since we just bought the company from Grant's family and are still trying to put some things together.“But we only own fifteen percent shares”I know that but we can't afford to give that now. Especially not to a representative”I went silent trying to process all that he had just said.“Since there is nothing more to discuss, this meeting is over”“Wait!” I called out silently but no one hea

    “Popular Billionaire CEO spotted with another woman”“Ethan Blackwood's new girlfriend”The headline caught my eye like a bolt of lightning. My heart dropped and a familiar knot tightened in my chest. I clicked on the article and my breath hitched as I saw the accompanying photo.Ethan walked hand-in-hand with Sarah. Though they didn't appear to be doing anything overtly romantic, the mere thought that Sarah was back in the picture sent a rush of insecurity through me. I thought I had moved past this but seeing them together, even in simple moments like this, turned my thoughts dark.I took a deep breath, reminding myself not to let things get to me. Despite that, I couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy clenching around my heart.“Don't let it get to you” I whispered to myself as if I could physically dislodge the thought.With a deep breath, I got out of the bed to freshen up for the day.I dressed in a tailored navy blazer over a crisp white silk blouse that hugged my frame just

    There was an unusual silence as Brian drove me back home. My mind drifted off to nothing in particular.“Are you always this quiet? He asked, jolting me back to the present.“Uhhhh. No “ I stuttered“I don't just feel like talking”“Why? Are you scared that I might eat you up?” He said sarcastically, earning him a chuckle from my end.“No sir. I mean, Brian” I said, lightheartedly.“So why aren't you talking?” He pressed on“I just don't have anything to talk about”“Okay, how about we have dinner together. Maybe then, you might have something to talk about”“Am not sure Brian. I just want to go home” I said, with an unsettled expression.“Sorry Avery, I don't take no for an answer” he said as he swerved to the parking lot of a fine dining restaurant.“Let's have dinner here” he said, staring deeply into my eyes.“Okay” I nodded and watched him open the door for me.We both sat opposite each other as we enjoyed our meal.“Why did you consider modelling after your separation “Nothing.

    As I stepped into the bustling atmosphere of the pits modelling agency, I was both excited and nervous. I was about to take a career I never dreamt off.“Welcome, Avery!” Mr plies called out. His voice boomed across the room.“Let's get started” I nodded as I trailed behind him, hands clinging together with my hand bag.“Alright, let's see what you've got. We're going to start with a few poses and see how you move in front of the camera. Follow my lead and don't be afraid to express yourself”He said, scanning me with his eyes as if assessing my potential.I took a deep breath reminding myself to stay focused.We moved into the studio and the light flickered in, illuminating the space with a bright glow. I could feel the hot gaze of the photographers and the crew, all waiting for me to step into the spotlight.“First, let's try a classic stance,” Mr Piles instructed, demonstrating how to position my body to highlight my features.“Shoulders back, chin up and give me that confident sm
