First assignment
𝙎𝙚𝙧𝙚𝙣𝙞𝙩𝙮
The only thing that was draining me out every day was Val's thoughts every night. The daytime didn't bug me so much but the night hours crushed me to the core. Every day it was a harsh time adjusting to the situation and every day I grew to realize that maybe I was the one in the rush but my soar thoughts wouldn't make a difference to the situation I had put myself in. After a long time in life, I felt lonely, not alone.....just lonely. I had no clue why this overthinking was killing me every day but I surely did know it was draining my energy out. It was starting to get visible to others.
" Sera, are you ready? " asked Mr.Moreau
" just a minute " I replied
I quickly grabbed all the things I needed and rushed downstairs. It was an important day at work, it had been 5 months since my life took a wild turn and dropped me off at this place with everything but nothing at the same time. Every corner of this place was worth millions but at the same time, they were nothing but some hollow corners.
"good morning Mr.Moreau" I greeted Mr. Moreau while shoving my mouth with his delish French Avocado bread.
"Slow down sera and good morning to you too" he replied, chuckling.
" noo— " I took a minute to swallow the dry bread "I cannot be late today Mr.Moreau! " I replied and took another bite of that delicate bread
" and you will not be sera " he replied
A slight smile flashed across my face and as soon as I finished shoving the breakfast down my throat, I was on my way to the venue assigned for our company's winter runway. This was the first time I was going to represent M&K, I was going to represent Val. Throughout the ride my nervousness was killing me, I always had a tough time rolling in with strangers and today I was on my own with no familiar figure to look after and feel a little less troubled. At the time I arrived at the venue workers were setting up the broad runway and the ot maintaining the other decor. I rushed to the backstage and everything was a mess. The models with nothing but a rob they their und, one and a make-up artist doing their make-up while they were busy doing their things on the other half of the space everyone was panicking with rushing to get things done.
"thank god you are here! " one of the crew members exclaimed as soon as he spotted me on the set. I nervously walked towards him as soon as I could, he handed me a list of the events that were going to take place and the people who were required to do a particular task. Luckily everything was on the right track and manageable or I thought so.
" WHERE IS MY COFFEE! " a sound of yelling caught my attention from the crowd. It was the infamous Lisa Mc.carter, she was known for her flawless runway walks. I quickly reached the site and found her venting on a crew member.
" what is going on here? " I whispered to a girl next to me
"ApparThis boy is having a bad day, he forgot to bring Miss. Lisa's coffee " she replied in a low tone which was only Audible to me.
" I see " I replied.
The show was about to start in a few minutes and I couldn't bear to get Val's prestigious reputation to dirt because of some coffee. I quickly jumped in and apologized to the lady.
"Who are you? " she asked.
"I'm Serenity Swansea, Sir Val's assistant. I'm in charge of managing this event since he is abroad " I replied
"Who said Val is abroad? " she asked.
" I— uh— what do you mean ma'am? " I asked, hesitated.
" OKAY! Enough guys! Let's get moving. The show has started " the director shouted from the other corner of the room and I could've sworn Lisa gave me a disgusted look before rolling her eyes and walking away. I was at a loss for words but didn't have the energy to process all these surprises life got me. I quickly got moving with all the work going on backstage, for the first time in as long as I have lived, I realized being a celebrity or model was never easy. There was no privacy, no second chance, no forgiving, and no mistakes. Eyes were judging you, people were mocking you and yet you had to perform the best you could. Most of these models starved for the day without a sip of water to get in that dress perfectly. I peeked through those giant maroon curtains to see critics, investors, businessmen, and so on judging every work of this art, it was thrilling and uncomfortable but most little it was theatre show was afternoon, oandnonceall the models started to leave my curiosity rose and I tried to search for Lisa but she left long ago, right after her performance. So in the end I decided to give up and grab lunch, while I was walking down the street I came across a bakery and a wave of memories hit me, I always wanted to own a bakery with my finest creations. I still remember the day Granddad brought me a chocolate cake, it was delicious.

" I'm back Mr.Moreau," I said
"Welcome back, sera " he greeted me warmly.
"It was a rough day! But Sera saved the day once again! " I proudly stood there like a monkey
" sera must be tired then " Mr.Moreau chuckled.
" ALOT! " I stomped my way to the couch like a kid
" fresh pastries coming up," Lily said Bringing over a tray full of all sorts of sweets and a fresh cup of mocha coffee.
" yummy! " I exclaimed starting to devour them.
" are they that good? " Lily asked
"The best! " I replied.
After having my stomach filled with delicious food I found my way through the endless corridor to my room and decided to take a lovely long warm bath. After soaking for what felt like an eternity I decided to spend some time reading my favorite book.
