Click. Click. Click.

Flashes. Flashes. Flashes of lights coming from the front, left, right, and back as Rosa maneuvers her walk at the recent Quant Spring Fashion launch.

Rosa walks back in front of the stage amidst the thundering applause donning the launch's finale dress.

As she tries to get out of the complicated dress with faux sunflowers attached to it to change to her normal clothes, her phone kept buzzing. She struggles to rummage into her purse to answer the call.

"Congratulations, Ms. Eder!"

"Oh, thank you."

"I just talked to Brie and she said you have no other engagements as of the moment."

"Really? What about my personal schedules?"

"Shut up. You do not have one. And even if you do I'm still bringing you with me. It's non-negotiable."

"So, where to, Madam?"

"Welcome, Rosa." Brie spreads her arms as soon as the airplane's door opens.

"Oh, hi Brie. You're here already. So you went ahead of me. I do not think we've discussed this."

"There's nothing for you to discuss," Madam Desta Apta butts in.

Brie shows her megawatt smile. "I agree. There's no room for discussion. Right, Madam Desta?

"I am paving another opportunity for you. Quant International and I came to an agreement that aside from featuring their latest runway fashion show, you'd be on my magazine cover with an interview spread as their top model."

"Madam," Rosa puts her hand on Madam Desta's arm while walking. "Do you think I should fire Brie as my manager? I think you are way better when negotiating for me."

Madam Desta just giggles.

"So, you think you are capable enough now?" Brie stops on her tracks and put her hands on her waist.

Rosa smiles mockingly at Brie and gets on the limo with Madam Desta.

Madam Desta Apta owns one of the biggest publications in Europe. As one of the few of Violet Eder's closest friends, she treats Rosa Eder like a daughter. Rosa started modeling when she was just 14 years old for Madam Desta's teen magazine. Madam Desta has been eyeing Rosa when she met the little girl when she was just 9 years old. She liked Rosa's posture when she stands and sits like a princess with her glowing eyes every time she smiles timidly. When she was about to launch her adolescent magazine, she pestered Rosa's mother, Violet, to agree and convinced Draco Eder, Rosa's father, to let Rosa be her model. As Rosa's number one patron, Madam Desta made sure that Rosa would be on the magazine cover for its maiden issue. Rosa's smile and expressive eyes on the cover paved way for many agencies to call the publication looking for Rosa for a photoshoot and ramp modeling offers.

Madam Rosa contacted Brianna Nords, a seasoned professional modeling agent and her trusted friend, to manage Rosa. Madam Desta assured Violet that Brianna or Brie's character was very reliable and Rosa's modeling career would be smooth and they would be appeased that their little Rosa would not be put in any murky deals under Brie's guidance.

Brie is very particular when it comes to contracts and cunning in dealing with clients especially those lecherous executives and directors. Nobody can get their way with Rosa over Brie's dead body. But when it comes to professionalism they cannot say anything about Rosa and Brie. And Rosa engulfs thousands of followers from social media which enhances the demand to hire Rosa. From there on Brie and Rosa became a legend tandem in the fashion and modeling industry.
