''Ugh, we can talk about this later, why must you wake me up, I need my beauty sleep, call me back in thirty minutes. ''
Claire groaned and before Leo could say another word, she had cut the call.
Leo sighed and he tossed the phone on the passenger's seat, driving into his compound. His thoughts going back to the woman he met earlier.
That woman… he knew she would call him anytime soon, only a fool could reject an offer like that.
…
Tiana stared at the card in her hand, lost in thought. This…this could change her life forever. Jo' Lapel Fashion Industry was something every upcoming model wished for but could not get; the most famous models of the world were signed under Jo' Lapel, but here she was, some nobody, getting it all on a platter of gold.
It seems her fate wasn't so bad after all!
This was the best thing that had ever happened to her in years. Just one phone call and her life would change forever.
Tiana took in a sharp breath, feeling a tingling sensation in her stomach. Everything felt so unreal.
It's been two weeks since Gwen left for Christine makeup Academy New York, she had been terribly lonely, so she spent her days watching soap operas and reality shows.
She had not figured out what to do with herself yet, but she knew the money she had wouldn't last forever. She had considered working from home, but she didn't have the skills to do most of the profitable work from home jobs, other ones were very stressful and could take hours to complete and just for a few bucks.
She did not expect to meet such luck that day, and hell yes, she was doing this. There was no way she was letting this opportunity pass by. It seems not going to the makeup academy, wasn't exactly a bad choice.
Tiana's lips beamed as she dialed his number,
Leo lifted his phone to stare at it and a smile washed his lips when his eyes gazed at the unknown caller ID,
Right about time…
''Hello, Angel. ''
Tiana gulped as she heard the not-so-familiar voice over the phone;
''Have you considered my offer; '' Leo added immediately; and Tiana nodded, when she realized he wasn't in front of her she spoke; ''Yes… I'll love to; I'll love to work with you. ''
Leo beamed as he nodded; sitting up on his massage chair;
''So when can we meet, tomorrow, is that good by you? ''
Did he even need to ask? Any day was perfect; she literally had nothing doing at home.
''Yes, tomorrow would be great. '' Tiana replied eagerly;
''Alright, that's perfect! Text me your address, I'll send someone over to pick you tomorrow. ''
''No, save yourself the trouble, just tell me where I can meet you and I'll come over. ''
Tiana rejected politely, and Leo understood her fears; so he nodded.
''Alright, I'll text you an address right away. Welcome onboard, Angel. ''
''Thank you, Mr. Leo ''
Tiana held the phone to her ear for a good five seconds after the call had ended. Still in shock.
It was so unbelievable. So unreal! Was it really happening? Was it? She would have to wait till the next day to be sure because right now, it felt like she was in a movie.
She stood up and walked to the floor to ceiling mirror and gazed at her reflection; standing there for about ten minutes, just staring at herself, until reality dawned on her.
I AM GOING TO BE A MODEL! A F.U.C.KIN' MODEL~!!
…
The next morning
Claire pushed open Leo's large office and walked in majestically. She had an aloof face on. Her hair dyed red, and falling down her back, a Louis Vuitton sleeveless gown hugged her body, outlining her curves as she cat-walked towards Leo in her 6 inches Gucci heel shoes.
''Here comes the Volcano beauty. ''
''Stop with your teasing, bestie, where is she?''
Claire's eyes searched the room and they fell back on Leo when she did not see any other person in the office.
''The meeting is fixed by 12 pm; this is just past 9, sweetheart. ''
Leo was handsome and tall, he had a cute face, that any woman would just want to kiss, and bury themselves in his arms, and maybe remain there till forever. Claire had always bullied him about not having a girlfriend, despite being so charming. But then, she loved that he was single sometimes, at least she could take him to dinners or galas, whenever she didn't have a man available. They became friends when she joined the industry at age 14, he was a model then at age 17, and through the years they had grown fonder and closer. He was the only one that knew her deepest secrets, the only one she was very comfortable with. He was her best friend.
As soon as he said the word, Claire's aloof expression changed 360 degrees and she slumped on the couch.
''Oh thank God, now I can take off these shoes! I thought she was here already, thank goodness. Do you have a chocolate bar? I forgot to bring some. ''
Leo burst into a fit of laughter as he watched Claire relax comfortably on the couch and quickly undo her heel buckles, tossing it about the room and relaxing her feet in the feathery carpet.
''I was waiting for that. '' Leo continued laughing hysterically.
''don't you dare laugh at me; you know I don't like looking anything less in front of newbies.''
She sighed as she stood up and walked towards him on the office table;
''So do you have any chocolate bars? I didn't even have breakfast, just to look perfect! '' She groaned. Leo smiled as he watched her; chocolates were her favorite, he never forgot to keep some for her.
He pulled open the drawer and took out some chocolate;
''Awnn; I knew you would have some! What would I have done without you! ''
She exclaimed happily as she bit into the bar, shutting her eyes in ecstasy. Leo watched her unwaveringly.
''So tell me, is she prettier than me? ''
Claire asked absentmindedly;
There were only a few models in the industry that matched her beauty, so she wasn't expecting a newbie to be prettier, but then, she just asked;
''She is. ''
''WHAT?''
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
''Ugh, we can talk about this later, why must you wake me up, I need my beauty sleep, call me back in thirty minutes. ''
Claire groaned and before Leo could say another word, she had cut the call.
