Chapter 4_ Being a model

Getting inside the building, a man was standing right in front of us.

"Good day sir, we've been waiting for you Please follow me" And we followed behind him.

On the way going, I looked around the place. The interior decor, the clothes, and the designs were amazing and expensive. Scarlet Beauty lived up to their name as being the best and the most extravagant clothing line.

When we got to the meeting room, there was a man and two women sitting there. The one on the left was putting on a red turtle neck dress and the other one was putting on a white gown with decorations on the left hand making her look elegant and she looks like she was in her thirties.

The woman in white greeted us.

"Good day Mr. Hughes it's been a long since we last saw each other"

"what can I say, I'm a busy man Mrs Forbes" Jason replied.

"Please call me Carina," Mrs Forbes said.

"Ok if that's what you want" Then we sat down opposite them.

They brought out some documents. Then the man sitting with them said.

"These are the documents on our new clothing line. And if you invest in this new brand, I promise you will not only be our biggest investor, but it will also promote your Company's reputation and you will also have a 30% percent share in it" The Man said.

"I don't think it's good enough for me," Jason said. "Laura " he called. And immediately I brought out a file and gave it to them. After going through it Mrs Forbes cleared her throat.

"Mr. Hughes, we can't do this. the demand is too high" But Jason didn't say anything he just kept quiet. After debating on it with her colleagues they finally came to a decision.

"Okay, what if we increased it to 35% percent?" Mrs. Forbes asked.

"50% percent or no deal" Jason replied looking relaxed on his seat like a king.

"Okay, 45% Percent please Mr Hughes that's all we can offer" Mrs Forbes pleaded with him.

"Okay, I will make do with that," Jason said.

" Thank you so much Mr Hughes I promise you will not regret it, now can we sign the deal?" Mrs. Forbes was just so eager to close the deal.

" Hold on" Jason stopped them. Everyone turned to him eager to hear what he has to say.

"Before I sign this contract I would like to see the new brand for myself".

"But Mr. Hughes, our models are not available now. And we can't call them out of the blue" Mrs Forbes tried to explain.

"Then that means no deal, you can't expect me to invest in a brand I've not seen do you?"

" But, we sent you the designs and everything about it" Mrs. Forbes was perplexed.

"Are you doing this or not, I don't care how you do it. I want you to find a model in the next five minutes or else the deal is off" Jason said firmly to them.

"But, Mr Hughes"

"No buts" Jason cut them off.

They all sat down there looking at each other wondering what to do. I began to feel sorry for them because there's no way they can get a model get in the next five minutes I think Mr Hughes is being too hard on them.

When I looked up to see their faces, they were all looking at me with pleading eyes. Before I was able to say anything Jason interrupted.

"She is just an assistant not a model so just take your wishful thinking out of your minds," Jason said to them.

" She has a great body, I think she will be perfect for it," Mrs. Forbes said. "What do you think miss... "

"Laura. Laura Jones ma". I said to her.

"Tell me, what do you think Laura ?". Mrs. Forbes asked me.

"Well, I don't know, since I've never done anything like that before in my life".

" Just say yes and we will take care of the rest," Mrs Forbe said.

After thinking about it, I said yes.

"Okay, I will do it".

"Without wasting more time, Mrs Smith please take her to the dressing room," Mrs Forbes said.

I followed Mrs Smith her assistant to the other part of the building. there were clothes of different colors, designs, and textures all over the place, I can't help but wonder how much they cost. And I was sure that my life savings will not even be enough to buy one of these dresses. She took me to the dressing room and asked me to wait for her, after a few minutes she came back with some clothes and two assistants with her.

I took off my clothes and I put on a red crop top and a black short skirt above my knee with a little tear on the left leg and a Matching black leather jacket, black shoes with some pieces of jewelry and light makeup.

Standing before the mirror, I looked completely different. This was a completely different side of me that I never thought I had. Mrs. Smith started giving me some advice, lastly, she said.

"Don't worry just be yourself and everything else will fall into place. now go out and show them what you got"

"Okay," I said nodding my head.

when I stepped out of the dressing room, I saw that everyone was sitting on their seats looking at me. Then I started walking towards them when I got to them I stopped, made a post, and turned back just like Mrs. Smith taught me. This goes on for about an hour changing into a different outfit. Now I'm in the dressing room getting ready for my last outfit.

" Whoa, Laura this dress looks beautiful on you. please let me know if you ever want to be a model" Mrs Smith said with a smiling face.

Right now I'm wearing a floor-length blue gown. and some diamond decorations at the top and there was a tear from the button-up to my thigh showing my pale skin. It was a v-neck dress revealing some part of my breast and some jewelry.

" I think it's too tight," I said to Mrs Smith.

"No, it's perfect Laura, this is how it was meant to look, To highlight your great curves and every other thing you've been hiding. Oh my gosh. You look amazing" she complimented me.

Then she parked my hair to one side and decorated it with some hair pins.

"One last thing. The shoes" she said. It was a silver high hills, " my God they look amazing" I said out loud. It has never crossed my mind that one day I will be wearing this kind of expensive clothes.

"Now go get them, girl," Mrs Smith said excitedly.

When I walked out of the dressing room, everyone was staring at me looking amazed.

"Whoa Laura, this dress looks stoning on you" Mrs Forbes exclaim.

That was when Jason lift his head to look at me. Then our eyes meant for a moment. right there, the whole world seems to disappear leaving just the two of us. After a few seconds, he cleared his throat and said.

"Okay, I've seen enough, give me the contract let me sign," he said to Mrs Forbes. And I went back to change into my clothes.

When I came back out, they were already done.

"Come on let's go," Jason said to me. We were about to leave when Mrs. Smith came and gave a shopping bag to me. I looked inside the bag and saw that it was one of the outfits I changed into.

"Mrs Smith, why are giving me this?" I asked confused.

"Don't worry Laura, this is just a token of our appreciation for your help" Mrs Smith replied.

" No. I can't take it Mrs Smith please take it back" We started going back and forth with each other.

"Are you taking it or I should just leave you here?" Jason said with an angry look.

"No sir... I mean. I'm coming, I took the bag and followed him out.
