9 Chapter 8 — Training with the arrogant etiquettes expert
Shiela accompanied her to head to the venue where she will undergo training for wearing high heels. She also spent a few days practicing walking in heels inside her unit. That was the first assignment Shiela requested so that she would not have much difficulty when she was training to wear 3—4 inches heels or taller.
They entered an exclusive workshop. She also saw numerous women training inside. Shiela told her to have a seat on the side because she will talk to her new mentor.
As she waited. She thought about opening her cellphone and staring at the picture of her children.
She misses them so much. When she left them, Lutos was only two years old while Rose is just a year old away than her sister. She gripped her cellphone while staring at the picture.
She will do this to get her children back. She would do anything to get them from William. When that happens, she will take her children out of the messy life. She will take them abroad and there, they will live freely.
Just wait for me, my children. We will be united again.
" So, she is my trainee?" asked the man to her temporary assistant Shiela. She glimpsed at him and instantly frowned when she remembered his damn face.
"Oh...I remember you," commented the man after who recognized her.
" Have you know each other?" Shiela intruded.
" Yup. A funny setting and sharing insulting dialogue " the man replied while grinning. He glanced at her posture and shook his head of disliking her simple outfit.
" I don't like your outfit. It's boring," he commented harshly.
What is the problem with my outfit? This is not boring, this called simplicity.
She's not attending a ball party or even a wedding anniversary party. Should she need to wear classy clothes for attending workouts?
" What's the problem of wearing a t-shirt and faded ripped jeans?" she annoyingly inquired.
She heard him murmured something. She was shaking her head in disbelief. This is why she hates to meet people who dislike simple and cheap clothes.
" Did Shiela forget to tell you that I am not going to accept women who are afraid of showing their confidence through wearing some conservative clothes? " he said.
" No. But, she insists to wear that. I can't force her to wear clothes she's not confident to put on," Shiela explained.
He looked at Lilian, so does Lilian. They were looking at each other for a moment. He understands the woman's side but she possessed an undeniable beauty. He wants to do something to make her show it off.
" You're having a bad attitude but in terms of fashion, don't be stupid. Follow your assistant's advice, " he reprimanded. She rolled her eyes in annoyance.
" I don't like your attitude too 'cause your arrogant," she answered back. She will not let him insulting her without fighting. They exchanged simmer glances.
Shiela gave a discreet cough to break the flame.
" Mister Wind, looks like we need to get started?" Shiela distracted.
" Even his name...tells very windy," Lilian mumbled.
Windy-headed simple means are boastful or arrogant.
" Not yet. I want to hear her apologize to me," the mentor replied coldly.
" Excuse me? Why do I need to say sorry? You're the only one who can't understand. I've never expected that you're also an etiquettes expert then you look unschooled," she whispered the last phrase.
" I heard it. I was educated and excuse me, what happened the other day was just part of a prank," he clarified. She didn't immediately believe it.
" Brenna," he called his assistant.
She was surprised when the woman reached where they were. She is the woman who scoured and swept the trash thrown by this arrogant man.
" She's my assistant," she acquainted. She didn't utter a word. The man flashes his smile.
" So, let's start!" He blurted and clapped his hand like a boss calling his pooch.
" Follow him," Shiela instructed. Brenna gave her away before she went followed.
She chose to wear 4 inches heels. And the mentor began to instruct the four of them. It's good that she with the three women were also a beginners to wearing high heels.
" When you're wearing high heels don't forget your postures. Your posture must be addressed in order to walk in your high heels correctly." They all nodded. He walk around and carefully examined their posture.
" Stands straight, Lilian " he instructed. He caressed her bare shoulder and adjusted her to better posture.
" Remember to work the inner core. Good posture starts with having a strong core. To feel more stable in fabulous shoes, you need to have a fabulous core," he continued.
" Your step really matters. Walking might not be as easy as 1-2-3 especially when using stilettos 3–4 inches or even taller. The key to walking in heels is trying a Y-step. Each time you step, land on the outer border of the heel and toe-off. Do you understand? " he asked but he was focused on her.
Obviously, she was the only one who dislikes by him.
After he explained the easy tips in wearing high heels, they started walking to test if they were doing it right. While doing some baby steps, Wyndell carefully watching his trainees.
Lilian can't keep the struggles to walk in heels. Her calves especially the ankle feel numb and enervate due to her 3 days of heavy work-out and training.
" It's not so hard after all if you always remember the word HAPPY. H for head held high, A for abdominal muscles pulled in, P for pelvis in neutral, and, another P for press chest down. The Y for Y-step", he said for final tips.
Lilian can take no longer stand in heels, her legs are shaking a little. She decided to stop and felt if she could take another step.
She's about to take another step but suddenly it turns her to fall down. A muscular body seized her torso. She glimpsed at who was carefully hold her.
" Watch your step," he said in baritone. Her legs eventually lost strength so she was held tightly into his arms.
They were silent place on the side. He treats a massage to her numb legs. He gently presses both thumbs into the balls of her feet and massages in a circular motion.
He repeat it many times on both feet. She just stared at his handsome face. The numbness of the muscles in her legs was somewhat relieved.
" Take care of your feet. You've only got two," he concluded before he stood up. She politely nodded.
