Lost Love
(The Super Model)
Chapter 3
"La Croix, Cha Min and Weng Feng. You three would be on the run way for Paris.Couture. You know the rules, go there put on whatever they give you, do your thing and get out of there. Make sure to put your best into preparation, this would determine the amount of jobs you'll get for the rest of the year" the instructor finished his statement and left the conference room.
They was a little silence as everyone flipped through the magazine that was handed to them by the instructor. There looked at the dress designs, the postures for the pictures taken and admired the way the models used their bodies to tell different stories on the dresses they wore.
"La Croix, your name wasn't on the email that was sent to us, why is that?" Cha Min asked Davina giving her jealous glances.
The other models on the same level as Davina has never liked her a bit cause of the too many resources she's always got and what they call special treatments.
"They requested for an Asian American model, well here's one" Han Lee replied before leading Davina out of the conference room followed by Sinclair.
That right there upset the girls the more because they felt Han Lee was always taking everything and handing it to Davina based on the connection he has.
They'll go to Paris and Davina will use her charm to steal everyone's attention from the other girls, making it difficult for the other models to get recognition from other brands and companies.
"What was that? Why did he sound like that?" Cha Min who was a little bit confused asked the other people who was still in the conference
"You're taking too much at this point, just let it be babes. We'll get to that level but it won't be golden if we do it from jealousy so chill" Weng Feng replied her and walked away with her manager.
Thoughts of not been recognized because a model with higher status is walking the same run way as you feared Cha Min. She believes people are always covering her shine and not letting her progress in the industry.
Davina has been thinking about what Cha Min said while they were in the conference room and wondered what may be the reason for such questions or attitude.
"Why did she ask that question? It's not like they're as good as I am tho" Davina randomly asked sitting on the side bed in Han Lee's office.
"It's the fear of not getting recognized, don't worry about it. You were once there, they'll get over it" Sinclair replied her casually because she felt there was nothing to be bothered about.
"Come take a picture of me, I want to stir s**t up. I don't care if they're scared, there don't have the right to question me. They should be greatful they're working with me" Davina said and handed her phone over Sinclair.
"I've not known you to be some one who stirs s**t up, and it's unnecessary if i'm to say plus they're in the same level as you, you just have more recognition that them" Sinclair said staring at her like she's about to do some weird s**t.
"I don't care, come take the picture" Davina said and gave one of her finest pose for the picture.
Sinclair took the picture and handed the phone back to her. Davina admired the picture and thought of a caption for the post.
She posted the picture and captioned it "preparation for Paris.Couture". She knew once the netizens knew she'll be on that run way she'll be the top topic in Suzhou's Fashion/Entertainment news headlines.
**********************************************
Vera laid on the receptionist bed and stared at the ceiling thinking about her life and worrying about the fact that she doesn't know who she was or where she was from. They's basically no way for her to know what was going on in her life and how to continue. All she could do was begin afresh.
She thought about the money in her pocket and how to change it to yuan. She even wondered how she got in possession of dollars in the first place. She thought of asking the receptionist but she wasalso worried that she could not trust her. The receptionist has done a lot for her so it's only wise if she asks her for help on this one too.
She stood up from the bed and walked to the leaving room to talk to the receptionist.
"I have dollars on me, how do I change it to yuan?" She asked
"I have a friend who normally do that for me, I can ask him to come help you but he'll ask for his share of the money so be ready for that" the receptionist replied her and took another drag from the smoke she was smoking.
"That's fine as long as he doesn't ask for too much" Vera said and sat beside her on the couch.
Vera was about to say something when she received a text message that said "I can't tell you your name but you lived in Suzhou, that's the only information I can give to you. I wish you good luck. By D". The text message turned Vera's head upside down because she began to think or try to remember anything, but all she could see was herself in the run way, she couldn't remember anything else.
"Who's this D that keeps dropping hints for me?" Vera asked her self more worried than she had ever been cause she feels the person might be stalking her too.
"If the person keeps giving you hint that means the person knows what happened to you and why you don't remember yourself so all you have to do is follow the hints" The receptionist said to Vera who was looking too worried.
"You mean I should go to Suzhou?" Vera asked the receptionist staring at her phone
"Absolutely, Suzhou is approximately 9 hours from here in train but I can take you to the airport after my friend arrives" the receptionist replied her and trew the cigrate outside the window that was close to the couch.
"Why're you being so nice to me?" Vera asked the receptionist and she just smiled
"Because someone has been more nice to me in the past and all she asked me to do was to pay it forward and that's what I'm doing now" the receptionist replied her before saying
"I have some very nice expensive outfits that'll give you the model look and I'll pack them for you, we'll look for a nice little apartment for you so once get there you'll settle in then you'll prepare to become a model again" the receptionist told Vera and started picking out the clothes from her closet for her. She was stopped by the next words Vera said
"Why don't you come with me, be my manager or assistant or whatever. This is actually a big opportunity for us both. It doesn't look like you have anything keeping you here"
"Which money would we live by before you get into any modelling agency?" the receptionist asked her staring at her like she's lost her mind to suggest something like that
"The dollars I have is five thousand which is thirty six thousand in yuan, that's a huge amount and I bet with the way I look it won't be hard for me to get into any modelling agency" She relied the receptionist who saw sence in what she was saying and actually thought she had a reasonable amount of money.
"I also have twenty seven thousand in my account, money I got from striping. I hope I don't regret this. I'm Bia Huang, what do you call yourself since you don't remember your original name?"
"Vera Lin Wang, thank you for doing this with me" Vera said with big smiles on her face. Just hours ago she was looking like a begger and now she's about to become a model in Suzhou.
Two hours later the friend came and changed the money for them and they gave him five hundred yuan as his share of the money.
Bia called a friend of hers who's a banker to create a bank account for Vera so they could put the money and just go with the debit card.
She also called another friend of hers to make a passport, drivers license and an id for Vera so they could use the airport to get to Suzhou. She also gave her car to him to sell and send the money to them whenever he's sold it.
Vera was really happy that she found some one who was really nice and also agreed to go begin a new life with her in Suzhou. She felt the universe was on her side and was giving her favour because of what was done to her.
**********************************************
It was about twenty five minutes after Davina posted her picture she noticed a funny comment under her post. The netizens were angry because Davina just confirmed a post they saw earlier with her post.
"I can't believe, Lee Moo would stoop so low to take bribe from small Davina to remove another model from going to the event in Paris" a netizen commented
"I can't also believe it, so all these while we thought she was really good she's been bribing people all about" another one commented
"How sure are we that she hasn't been using her body to get what she wants, cause look at that body, nobody will say no to it" someone else commented
