Chapter 5

Bella telephoned early in the morning. She said that the call time is moved to an earlier time because according to her , the editor panicked after learning that Andrea is not the model. He wants to finish the pictorial as fast as they could.

Before 8 AM, Stacey was already at the studio. Her half sister was still asleep when she left so she didn't have a chance to talk to her like she planned.

Amy, their help, accompanied her to the pictorial to help her with her stuff.

She went in the dressing room. Her eyes widened when she saw what she is supposed to wear for the shoot.

It's a two piece lacy black underwear. It's very sexy but she sighed in relief that at least her most private parts will be covered. As they say, be thankful for small mercies.

During the whole pictorial, she set her mind to think about beautiful things. She just imagined that it's just her and the photographer inside the studio so she will feel less conscious. Aside from the photographer and Bella, there are two women and two men in the studio. One of the men is in charge of the lights and the other one, with the props. The female in black top and jeans is the wardrobe assistant. The one in white is the make-up artist.

The room is chilly and with her scanty wear, she is starting to feel a little cold.

She was given a fifteen minute break before the interview. Bella brought her a small bowl of veggie salad and bottled water.

"Wow Stacey! Your shots are really good! You are great! To think that you only had a 30 minute briefing and tutorial! How did you do that?! " the talent manager asked.

" I just told myself that I have to do it well so it will be done soon." she said before forking some of the salad.

"Very good! That actually worked! By the way, during the interview, you should sound husky and seductive, okay? And remember, from the start until the end, you should act and speak sensually. The interviewer will ask some naughty questions. Be ready to answer them .No holds barred! Here are the questions. " Bella handed her a piece of paper. " Practice answering them while I talk to one of the editors and big cheese of Spice Up publishing company. They are the publisher of Not Eye Candy Magazine." Bella said before going out from the dressing room.

Stacey pouted her lips when she saw some of the questions.

When did you lose your virginity?

How many boyfriends have you had?

Do you sleep naked?

Are you into oral sex?

She massaged her temple.

Gosh! How will I answer these questions? She asked herself.

"Mate! Where are you? Hurry up! The interview will start in a few minutes."

"I am on my way up. This should be really worth my time. I had to cancel my last meeting for this! " Nick said while sounding slightly irritated.

Billy called him and he said that he has a surprise for him. His friend's brother is the editor of a publishing company which is owned by Billy's family.

Nick is not a subscriber of Not Eye Candy Magazine but since he and Billy are best friends, monthly, he gives him the latest issue. Most of the time, he just gives them to his older brother because he is not that interested. Why look at women's sexy photos while jerking off when he can have any woman he wants?

Billy is not directly involved in their business but he always comes here from time to time to checkout the models.

In the past, he tried to hook him up with some of their prettiest models but he said no. He prefers career women like flight attendants, writers, nurses. He had also bedded a female gym instructor, a teacher and even a university student. He is fussy when it comes to women he fucks. He doesn't want women with a lot of sex experience. Most of the models he knows have a lot of men. Ain't his thing. He never had the same woman twice. He has a rule.. one woman, one fuck.

He just got out of the lift when Billy came up to him.

"Mate! In here! ! " He called him excitedly.

They went inside an average sized studio. There are few people inside.

They positioned themselves in the dim side of the room. All the lights are directed to a small stage. There are two chairs which are across from each other.

"What's this?" Nick asked with a light frown.

"Miss June's interview!"

"DAMN IT! I came all the way here for that?" he rasped.

"Cool it mate! This is not an ordinary interview! I was also surprised this morning! I heard that the model is not Andrea!" Billy said with a smirk.

"The hell I care! I don't want to waste my time for this!" he angrily said before turning around to leave.

"Wait mate!" Billy tried to stop him from getting out but he didn't even look back at him. He continued walking out.

"Stacey Ledesma is the new model!"

Nick halted and his back straightened with what his friend said.

He cursed under his breath.
