Welcome Party Instead

Misha keep on searching for Rachel. She's the only one she knew in the whole production of VS. She didn't pick up any of her calls since she arrived at the venue.

The club is particularly lively that night and she can see many models partying. She keep on turning her head left to right to find Rachel, but still, she couldn't. She noticed the huge runway in the middle of the mansion. Perhaps, it will be used later on. It's a long ramp with many lights on each side. VS really is another realm in the fashion industry. She called Rachel once again and the call went through.

"Finally! I'm here. Where are you?" she asked Rachel.

"Come up, we're at room 005." said Rachel.

"Okay, I'm coming." then Misha cut the call and proceeded at the second floor. She passed two huge bouncers guarding the stairs for the second floor.

She politely asked the two guards for directions. The club is relatively huge and she's afraid to get lost somehow. She still wanted to meet the director and owner of VS that's why she's quite anxious. That night, instead of filming the pre-runway, she stumbled upon a welcome party instead. She's still calm on the outside despite of the turmoil brewing in her chest.

The two guards answered her inquiry with care. They even lead her where the room is and she thanked them sincerely for that. She knocked the door and immediately got opened by Rachel.

"Director, Misha is here!" announced her. "Come on.." she initiated.

"Okay, thank." she let herself in and Rachel closed the door gently.

There are five people in the room. It was Rachel, the director, the head producer, the owner and another man which she did not immediately recognized. Rachel introduced her to the people in that room. She first greeted the director which is a tall and well-built man. He did not have any outstanding feature except his mole in his chin. He's quite charming when he smiled at Misha.

"Finally meeting our opening model!" the director exclaimed and then he exchanged kiss on the cheeks.

"It's my honor Mr. Favian." she happily complied. She glanced at the man sitting in the corner. She couldn't believe she would meet him again in here.

"Come! Let me introduce you to the owner of VS." he said while pulling her towards the woman in their table. She's a beautiful woman. Her features are quite extraordinary. Her chestnut colored hair is tide into a neat bun. She wear pearl accessories from Bvlgari. She still had that office look but she quite blend in the atmosphere. Maybe because of her queenly and seductive aura. Though she's sitting with her crossed legs, it didn't hide the fact that its long. She wear white long sleeve but half of it is unbuttoned, revealing her bosom covered with black-laced bra. It's quite an alluring site.

"Ms. Vivienne! Meet our model Misha, she will be doing the opening." the director happily introduced her to the owner.

"Hello Ms. Siene, nice to meet you. I'm Misha Lewis." she said smilingly however, the woman just stared at her from head to foot. She's assessing her.

"Hello." she just curtly said and afterwards, she didn't say anything during the whole evening. She talked almost to the people but not to Misha.

'Have I offended her or something?' she thought.

Mr. Favian dragged her towards the producer. "Misha, this is Leonard. He's the producer of the show. Leo, this is Misha, the one I'm talking about to you." he said excitedly.

'Ehh? He knew me?' she exasperatedly thought, looking at Mr. Favian.

"Hello, Mr. Leonard. Nice meeting you." she said while extending her hands out.

"Hello Misha! I hope my effort won't be wasted. Looking forward of working together with you." the man said as he accepted her hands. His tone is very flat with a tinge of annoyance.

"Haha! Rest assured Mr. Leonard." she deliberately shake his hand, thinking, 'What was that?'

She's been glancing at the man who's sitting in the corner quietly. She'd seen him sipping the liquor he ordered from the bartender from now. She didn't know that the man is currently observing her too and he would steal glances of her from time to time.

Mr. Favian is a happy go lucky man. He's quite spirited too maybe because of the alcohol intake and maybe because he is just naturally like that. He then dragged Misha to meet the man in the corner.

"Mr. Brandon Feine!" greeted Mr. Favian in high spirits.

"Mr. Favian! You sure have a great time!" the man replied while raising his glass.

"Ohh.. Yes, you are right! Hehe! By the way, I want you to meet your partner for this project." Mr. Favian said while raising his glass too in the air.

"Ohh.. Well, finally! Miss?" he asked with a smirk.

"Misha Lewis." she said. She wanted to punch Brandon while doing this. She couldn't believe the man's behavior. She knew Brandon way back from her New York project. He knew her too. In fact, they were close.

'Maybe because of the airport incident?' she thought while drinking her margarita.
