12 Modeling

----Anna's POV----

I'm outside the company waiting for Ms. V. I've been her secretary for a long time.

Ms. V found me in the streets when I was still a beggar. My life was complete a mess that time. I was ready to give up and just end my miserable life. My career didn't go well and I was left on lottering down the streets lottering picking scraps of food not knowing where to go. Out of nowhere she notices me, sitting beside of full of garbages and admitting that it's all over. Those gentle hands she offers me that completely changed my life. She then educates me, trains me to be her secretary. She never looks at me as a servant but as a friend. That's when I decided I will be loyal to her in my whole life. I wouldn't be myself today because of her.

Her family treated me as their own. I know her brother Mr. Vascana. I still remember they're sometimes fighting like cats and dogs in the past. I can't help but find it a bit thrilling. I then sigh... What a memory. When she became a great fashion designer the world has ever known she establishes her own Fashion Designing Company which she is the "Crown Company". It's tall and modernized building that in her authority's hands. All walls covered in shiny glasses. Clients have faced difficulty to have a personalized made dress by Ms. V. It's not easy to let her made them an engaging dress. It takes a lot of time to convince her.

As I was outside, a Dark Blue Aventador Lamborghini appears in front of me that I personally know the owner of it. The door opens, revealing Ms. V's shiny long hair as she goes. Her coat hanging in her shoulder. As she was carrying her small rectangular light blue leather wallet along with her phone. I slightly nod as I seeing her walking on the stair coming to the entrance.

I walk before her as soon as we got in. The bodyguard greeted her as she answers back. Warm smile she gives them as a response giving more people to admire her.

"Schedule." Ms. V says as we were heading on the Elevator.

"Checking the models for the upcoming Fashion show and Reviewing product for style and fit during presentation also examine the dresses ready for the show," I say as I was reading my notes on my tablet as we were walking towards the elevator.

"Hmm... Got it." Ms. V answers while we're at the elevator.

"And also we going on a business trip tomorrow right?"

"Yes, Ms. V" Didn't she know it?

"We're going to have a plus one to us," Stephanie smirks not looking to me. Plus one?

"Who?" I ask confusedly.

"You'll know, just some bodyguard."

Bodyguard? Who could that be?

The elevator rings as we arrived at their floor. Designers greeted Ms. V as she was heading to her office. She answers them with a polite smile. Unlike her brother who doesn't even answer his workers back. She's that type of person that always smiles even in her rough times.

"Oh, and you forgot something." Ms. V stop walking then turn around at me. Forgot something...? I look at my tablet and there isn't seem something I forget. I don't think I forgot something... I said while I was reading my notes. She then chuckles. What?

"Fool, It's not about the schedule." She playfully sighs to me. Then what is it? I was so confused.

"How many times do I have to tell you just call me by my first name and not 'Ms. V " Ms. V I mean Stephanie raises her left eyebrow to me as her arms crossed. She keeps telling me to call her by her name but I just can't to it. I feel that it's too disrespectful to drop Honorifics but I'll try

"Yes, Stephanie..." I awkwardly say.

----30 minutes late----

Ms. V, I mean Stephanie already at her office while drinking her coffee, waiting for me to gather the models. As soon as I gathered the models. I call out Stephanie.

"Pardon," I say while knocking at her door before entering.

"The models are already outside." I politely say. She was standing while drinking her coffee at the glass wall looking at the massive view, tall building, blue sky and cars moving around. Her coat has been hung on the coated rack. She enjoys her peaceful environment then looks at me.

"Okay, Let's go...."

I open the door for her as we leave her office. Outside her office, there's a big space in there where all the models line up one by one. All the models are about 6 feet tall, all have slender legs and a good figure just right to our concept.

"Ok, Listen. I am Ms. V I volunteer to be the one who's going to facilitate your movements. I know that all of you are professionals but I have to see it with my one eyes." Stephanie stares seriously at them.

If I would admit, Stephanie is so serious about her job that to the point she became bossy around her workers. She kinda got that attitude from her brother Mr. Vascana. Though she is bossy most of them don't take it to heart because all of them know she's doing this is for them also, but there are also some who take it seriously causing a bigger conflict to be made. What they like about her is that even though she's bossy she always gives a second chance to them and also has a cheerful side which she really is most of the time.

"Start of is that I want you to express your emotion to modeling that way you could be more comfortable on what you're doing that will make a better result of your walking, got it?" All of them nod to what she say. Stephanie then signals all of them to proceed. I hold her coffee for her to observe their movements peacefully.

One by one, All of them keep modeling flawlessly. Walking, turning as their hair waves shiny. Stephanie walking around to inspect more carefully as she was holding her notes grading them, Her eyes focus on every movement, nothing escapes from her eyes. From the looks of her eyes, she isn't that satisfied. I know that look... That look doesn't mean any good.

"Okay stop," Stephanie raises her left hand to them making them stop. She looks kinda frustrated and disappointed. They all both look at each other confusingly. I knew something was off.

"I think all of you misunderstood my words earlier." Stephanie sighs then put down her notes then looks at all of them seriously.

"I said I want you to put your emotion in it but what you did was horrible." They all went speechless as their eyes both went widen.

"What you did was force your face to have an expression you don't feel." Stephanie paused for a while looking at all of them but all they did was look down. Looking carefully at their expression when moving, all of their expression seems to be all exact and fake. They're not putting their heart on it. Their faces look like it was forced to be like that and it doesn't look realistic which annoys Stephanie. She always has a high standard of everything even if its small matter.

"I don't care what kind of expression you feel but I need you to put it through modeling cause I need to feel it, don't force yourself to have a fierce face. Just because having a fierce face doesn't mean your movement is excellent." She raises her left eyebrow to all of them, remaining silent.

"The reason why I want you to really feel your modeling and express your emotion is that that way you will be more comfortable to it and making less chance of mistake." Stephanie slightly yells to them. She sighs... leaving her no choice... Wait... Is she...

"Fine, I'll show you how." Stephanie put down her notes along with her pen. All of us left dumbfounded. Wait... What? Does she ever do modeling before? I started to panic. I was about to stop her but she looks in my way and winks at me. Nevermind... She can do it. I kinda feel rest assured.

"Wait... Ms. V is going to model?"

"Can she do it?"

All of them started to mumbles things, curious about how it will turn out. Stephanie stares at all of them who were muttering making them shut up. Then smirks at them

"What, think I can't do it?"
