4 Chapter 4

After fifteen minutes, i arrived already the function room of the hotel room where the casting will be held.

And then, i am surrounded by these women who also wanted to be selected in this casting.

I roamed my eyes inside the function room and couldn't help but feel a little nervous for my self.

Shit! This is it! There's no turning back cassie. You can do it.!

I sighed heavily to calm myself.

As i was sitting at my chair, there were a girl who sitting next to me. She's a bit thin and a can see that she's kind. So i approached her politely.

" Hmmm. Excuse me? Did they start already?" the woman looked at me innoscently.

"Ahm, a bit. But i think they're expecting for someone to come, i don't know exactly. I don't have idea." she answered me gently.

" Oh! Okay then. Is this your first time?"

" Hmm, yes! That's why i'm kinda nervous a little."

" We're both the same. This is my first time too. Anyway, i'm cassie. "

" Oh! Bea. Call me bea. Short name of beatriz. "we shook our hands and after i gave her a genuine smile.

" Nice to meet you bea. "

" My pleasure cassie. "

I studied bea's feature appearance while she's making herself busy on writing something on her pad.

She's beautiful. Yeah. With a milky skin, and she's taller as me as well. She's qualified for a role model.

After our brief conversation, i chose to just sit and roamed around inside the room.

I don't like the scenery inside here. It seems like i don't used into this kind of place. I feel awkward though.

I leaned my back at the backseat of the chair. Instead of thinking the things that were in my mind. I focused my attention at the front side of the function room where i think they are the persons what they called the executive directors who will going to make a decisions. They were sitting confidently.

So these are the judges as well who will going to choose some models for the campaign ad?

As i noticed, i had already sitting from the chair in a couple of minutes as i arrived. In fact, i was already late when i arrived but they seemed like they couldn't decide yet. Well, that's good to know.

I looked at bea next to me. She's just silently sitting and patiently waiting for the decisions. I could see the redness on her face. She's oviously nervous.

I smiled at her and turned back my attention in front side of me.

" i feel nervous. It's as if i'm waiting to be hanged here.", she jokingly said.

"take it easy bea. Look at me. This is also my first time . Though i'm also a bit nervous but see? You don't have to be nervous right?" i encouragely told her. She nodded.

"Do you have any idea who they are waiting for cassie?"

"hmm, honestly i don't know bea. This is my first time in here so... No."

"This is why i'm a bit nervous then. Maybe they're waiting for some demonic man who had some demonic behaviour who'll judge us?" I was about to laugh at her teasing statement but i chose to just shrugged my shoulder.

" We'll find out that later. " i said with finality to our conversation.

I wondered who are these executive directors are waiting. Why they can't even seem to be able to decide right away?

I know for myself that i'm lacked of the ability for this stint. I feel like it is too high end for me.

I don't think i am appropriate for this modeling career. I don't think i am deserve to be a model of a classy, elegant, to a high end yatch company.

Who would have know right? I'm a beginner! So there is a chance that i could be one of the luckiest applicant among of them, right?

I continued myself watching at the front side where the executive director's seated.

I pretended to ignore these people around me and to the fellow women around. I am not in the mood. I have no intention to start a conversation in any of them. Well, except for bea. She looks like kind and innoscent. So i liked talking with her a while ago.

I want them to decide now. I want to know who are the lucky ones. I want to end this day. So that i can breath easily just incase i am included. I want to know if i would be chosen or not!

Later on i noticed the middle aged director stood up from her seat. I noticed how elegant of her clothes. She could be what? She called some names which made me feel uncomfortable.

"Everyone please pay attention. Listen and please step forward as you are called.!did i make everything clear! I won't repeat again after i called your name. So pay attention!" the director strictly informed us.

Not so long, she finally ended up calling some names who luckily included. And unfortunately, i was not included.

I was a bit disappointed but i did not let any of them noticed my dismay. I shrugged my shoulder so that no one would notice the dismay i had and slowly stood up and prepare myself to leave.

This time i feel really disappointed and frustrated for myself but i don't want to think any of these two either.

It would have been easier for me if i would just ignore the experienced of disappointment i had today. Like what everyone did who were not selected, i also start packing my things to get out from the room.

I was suddenly taken a back from what i'm doing when the door slowly epen near at the table where all the executive directors sat.

My eyes widened and my mouth half dropped open when i figured out who was the man came out from the glass door!

Shit cassie you are too lucky for this day! This man! Ufff

"That's why he's that arrogant!" some models turned at my direction as i murmured something. I ignored their presence though. Your opinion won't matter to me idiots!

I saw the reactions of the executive directors at the table where they had been sitting lately.

They slowly stood up and gave respects to man who slowly walking towards their table.

I immediately bowed my head as he reached the table of executives. I couldn't watch him straight in the eyes.

He was the man i had just met at the entrance of the hotel earlier. No doubt! I can't be wronged!

Shit cassie how stupid are you! Shit.. If i just known him earlier than that incident in the lobby happened.... God! What have i done!

I tried to continue and focuse myself on disposing some of my things even though i heard what they were talking about after the man reached at their table.

"Riege." a normal tone of voice called him. If i'm not wrong he's the man who's not old among the executive.

"Mr. Del Rio." i heard an old voice mentioned his name. Is it his last name, then?

"Sorry for being late. Some unexpected things happened earlier so...." him. Using his business type of barritone voice. I heard some executive laugh a bit joking.

"Yeah riege. For the first time?" someone said and let out a bit of laughter.

"Yeah gerald."

"Shall we celebrate for being late of the Ceo?"

"Tss." the name gerald laughed even more.

"Don't worry about it Mr. Del Rio. Then, shall we start and proceed to the models we have chosen?" i didn't heard any response from him so i continue packing.

So he's the CEO and at the same time the owner of this company.?

What's his name again? Del Rio? Mr. Del Rio? I heard a man called him that name earlier and he politely answered afterwards.

If this so... It would be better for me to be not selected for this casting so that our way won't cross.

Our first encounter did not go well. I acted immaturely. I'm pretty sure that i got him annoyed but because he is very respected and has reputation, he chose to held back his temper from my behaviour.

God cassie what do you think he's going to feel after then? He's a respected man and yet you did something like that in your first meeting!

God! What the hell i have done! Of all people! Why the hell he was the one i encountered earlier in that lobby! And in that situation..........

So what? That was his fault anyway.

It is better for me to leave now. I'm just wasting my time and effort here. I started to get up and about to leave the area.

I put my bag hang over my shoulder. I don't know but it looks like someone pushing me to look back at him.

I turned back my head at the man's direction. I saw how he roamed the place around using his head. Maybe he's making sure that the selected candidate is eligibly fit for the job. But i am certain that i am not one og these eligible candidates.

Surely, he won't recognize me. I only have two options in my mind. Either he will recognize me, or he will not recognize me.

I turned around and started walking towards the door.

"Excuse me.!" i heard someone calling. I ignored it and continue walking.

"Miss, excuse me! You! Please pay attention.!" i noticed nobody answered from the woman who kept on calling.

"The woman who's wearing green t-shirt and has a short hair! Please stop! Listen!" the voice of an elderly woman echoed throughout the function room. From there, i stopped walking and slowly turned my head back at the woman who just called me. She smiled at me after i faced her.

" Your name is cassie ambrocio right? "i nodded.

" Please come closer and seat aside of the chair." surprisingly, i stepped closer.

Wait! Will they include me for the line up of the models? Is it possible that they changed their mind and saw me eligible for this job! But hell no! It's so impossible! Especially if this man right in front of me will recognize who i am.

My eyes focused on the figure of a man who's standing confidently next to the woman who called me recently.

Is he going to scold me that's why he call me? Is he going to insult me for what i did lately?

God! Is this the consequence of my behaviour?

Seriously? He is really the CEO and the owner? I confirmed it already and yet i asked myself about this again! My confirmation is very clear already and there's no doubt for that.

I stared at him. I couldn't read the expression on his eyes. It seems like there is some strange beating of my heart as our eyes met!
