Bella entered the agency and met her friend Damien on the way. She smiled seeing him.
Damien was an assistant at the agency and he met Bella in the initial days of his career since that day he admired her beauty and when he heard that the Sasha ditched him then Bella's name clicked in his mind because Sasha's beauty could only be replaced by Bella so he called her for the audition
"Bella, you are looking so good in this Valentina dress" he commanded Bella and looked at her up snd down.
When Damien called Bella on an urgent basis, she had no option but to wear the dress in her wardrobe. She was looking beautiful in a short red dress that fall on her knees
"Thank you so much Damien for giving me such an opportunity, you have no idea how much I need it" Bella thanked Damien
"It's okay baby doll, Sasha betrayed us in the middle of the shoot and instantly I think of you. And remember one thing that boss is coming to see the shoot so be prepared and don't make any mistake" Damien warned her and Bella nodded her head.
Damien took her to the changing room where all the makeup artists are present and all the other models but no one was as beautiful as Bella.
Bella looked around and found that she had a competition.
"Bella, they are new models like you but I know that you are going to get the contract because you have the charm so don't worry" Damien assured her and left from here.
She had five models to compete with but she knew that she could do it. Everybody was already ready in their lingerie and they were busy practising the walk for the final shoot
Bella braced herself and choose sea-green lingerie for her. The upper part had a thin strap on the shoulder and lower part fixed perfectly on her body.
She looked at herself in the mirror and she got confident that her body was looking amazing in this set of lingerie.
"Girls be ready in 3 minutes we are going to start shooting" Damien entered and said, he didn't look at Bella because their boss had already arrived and there was a wave of panic outside.
Bella wanted to ask Damien about her looks but he already left before she could ask him.
She had no assistant here to do her makeup and hair because it was sought of the audition but she knew that Damien would put good words about her to his boss.
Bella curled her hair and applied a nude lipstick to complement her lingerie, she looked at herself in the mirror and got satisfied.
Soon the girls stand in the line and Bella was in the third number and the walk toward the stage starts.
Her number comes and she took a deep breath and entered the stage which was full of lightning.
She walked with grace but halted in her steps when her eyes fall on Arthur who was looking at her angrily.
Arthur was standing with John and Damien and he didn't expect Bella to be there, he didn't like that her exposed body is in front of everyone but he maintained his calm and Bella was definitely in deep shit.
"How dare she come here without informing me," Arthur thought and looked at Bella who was looking so beautiful but he didn't like that apart from him there were two other men who were looking at her
"Come on Bella walk" Damien shouted at Bella who stopped in the middle of the stage
Bella came back to her sense and started to walk again with a slight smile on her face. She walked gracefully and advertised the lingerie product.
After finishing the walk she came backstage and her heart was thumping loudly. She was afraid of Arthur's angry face and she didn't know why he was angry at her in the first place.
Because he clearly mentioned in the rules and in the day she could do anything then why there was a hint of anger on Arthur's face?
She changed into her previous dress and she had lost all the hopes that Arthur would choose her because he loved to make her life hell.
Bella was sitting on the chair with a nervous expression when Damien come with the result.
"Layla, you are chosen as our brand face" Damien announced and Bella closed her eyes, she lost the opportunity just because Arthur was the boss.
Layla was indeed the beautiful blond woman but Bella was sure that she was the best amongst everyone.
Layla squealed in happiness and thanked Damien, everyone congratulated her apart from Bella.
It's not like she was jealous but she deserved the contract more in terms of everything.
Damien left and Bella followed him, she was not going to give up on her dreams without a fight.
"Damien, why you didn't choose me. I am good amongst them and you know it" Bella said to him with tensed face and Damien sighed
"Trust me, Bella, I pursued both my bosses to select you and indeed you were the best and john, my boss really liked you but Arthur who runs the company wasn't satisfied with you," Damien said with a sorry expression on his face
Bella knew that Arthur didn't select her intentionally
"Can I meet your boss Damien?" Bella asked him and Damien looked at her with a scarred face
"Are you out of your mind, he doesn't have time for casuals meetings and trust me he is not the man that you want to trust"Damien warned her but Bella was adamant.
She needed to talk with Arthur and she would
"Please Damien try at least for old time's sake," Bella asked Damien innocently and Damien sighed softly and nodded his head
"You wait here, I will see what I can do," Damien said and left her alone.
This time Arthur really needed to answer Bella why he was creating problems with her career.
Arthur company was the only company that would help her reach the stars and Bella knew about this
