Being scouted?

"Hmm? What is it baby?" He honestly didn't heard anything. He left fast and only focus on the task at hand. To get it done faster.

April stood up and kissed Sky's head. She whispered, "I'll be back. Daddy is on the phone."

Sky nodded and went back to eating.

Alex had heard her and waited. April walked towards the garden, wanting to get some air.

"Your wife is back in England. She called me a minute ago, asking for me to stay away from you." April dropped the bomb on him. She sounded like a cat who was barring her fangs. She was a mother after all, her son's safety was her priority.

"Francesca? Baby, I'm sorry. I didn't know. She must've heard about us now. Don't worry, I'll call her. Please rest assured that she can't touch you. I have already asked James to get you some bodyguards, just in case." Alex sighed. He knew that it would be a matter of time. It was about time to settle with his wife anyways.

Only when April arrived in his life, that he woke up from his fantasy. The realization of having an unhealthy marriage.

"I won't keep you, you should go back and eat. Don't worry about Francesca, I'll handle her. I'll call you later, when I get time." Alex hanged up.

April sighed and returned to the dining room. Everyone was almost done eating. April finished her food, even if she didn't have the appetite anymore.

Her life now was too tangled with Alex. Although she wasn't having anymore episodes or anxieties, she still felt tired. She decided to take a day out by herself. She left Sky with Lauri and only brought the Driver along.

----

April was wearing jeans and a white long sleeves. She got her hair tied up into a Pony tail. It was the start of Fall and it was getting chilly out. April's Driver was standing behind her, following her everywhere. The Driver was also acting as her bodyguard, he was capable and had a gun hidden on his waist. She didn't mind it, She was used to someone following her. In the US, she had 4. Luckily, she only had 1 so far here in England. Now that Alex are getting her more bodyguards, it was only a matter of time.

She decided to buy some new books to read, she love reading. It was one of her favorite pastime. At one point, she was actually thinking about building a coffee shop. Where you can borrow books at the same time. Although she had the money to do it, she wasn't confident herself. Her parents had given her a bank account before she left. It was enough for her to live comfortably in the future. Aside from that, she also have a bank account from Alex. Her monthly allowance was different from the Black card. He reasoned that the Black card was for Her and Sky. While the bank account was only for her alone.

With all this Money, she honestly don't know how to spend it. Aside from clothes, books and other tiny stuffs. There wasn't anything worth buying for her. She wasn't interested in business nor investment.

She knew she should, but she didn't want to ask the people around her. She wanted to do it herself, to learn the ropes and whatnots.

She arrived at a bookshop in London. The Burghley Mansion was in between Brighton and London. Alex's parents lives in Cambridge, while Alex lives in London. To be closer to work.

The bookshop had a modern theme, They sold any kind of books. From Old Literature to Fictions. This was the second time April had been in this shop. The First was with Sky and Lauri. She had fallen in love with the shop, since they have all kinds of books. The shop was two story, she wasn't able to look around before.

She decided to go to the Row of Books, published from the US. In there, she found a lucky find. It was the 'Investment for Dummies' guide. April giggled at the book title. It suited her just fine. She held on to it, as she went to browse more books. Unfortunately, she wasn't able to notice that a pair of eyes were looking at her. Currently, the driver stayed outside. He usually stay outside, to keep watch.

Meanwhile, The pair of eyes followed April everywhere. It was observing her every gestures and every emotions. It nodded, seemingly satisfied.

Unbeknownst to April, she had been judge by that pair of eyes. Just when she finished paying and was about to leave. She was stopped by someone.

A woman in her 30's stopped April from leaving. April was stunned, she didn't know the woman. "Can I help you?" She asked.

"Yes. My name is Helly Adams. Im from AL Scouting Company. I saw Miss earlier and wondered if you're interested in Modelling?" Helly handed her business card.

April's eye furrowed. She had always think that wasn't a looker, plus she never wore makeup. It was the first time that someone had tried scouting her. It peak her interest. She was getting bored staying at home anyways and she loves trying new stuffs out. Is this a sign for her?

April accepted the card and read it. She haven't heard about AL Scouting Company. She don't even know how to model. She looked at Helly. She looked innocent and decent enough.

"I don't know how to model." April said honestly. She really didn't have a clue.

"Don't worry, Our company teaches our models on how to pose and what not. From your figure, you are perfect already. You won't need to lose weight or anything." Helly was confident on this approach. The woman in front of her was top notch. She had an exclusive look, She was somewhat asian but not. Definitely from a mixed culture. Even without makeup, she was stunning. She even noticed the other customers were eyeing on her. Her body was voluptuous, her mannerisms were feminine and graceful. Definitely from born from a high society. She could tell that her outfits were branded and her bag was a louie.

April's eyebrows crossed. Interesting. Yet, she didnt rush on agreeing. She wanted to see if it was worth it. "I'll think about it. thanks." April smiled and left the shop. Seeing April came out, the driver took her shopping bag and followed April behind.

Seeing that she had someone to carry her bags, definitely made Helly curious. Who was that woman? Helly wasn't only scouting Models, she was into entertainment business as well. She scouts Actors and Actresses.

She had never seen that woman before. Helly was determined to scout her. She smiled happily on her findings today.
