CHAPTER TEN

 Standing before the judges, I auditioned

the best I could but the conversation I

had with the mean trio kept running

through my mind. I Googled everything

about Doja but there was no news that

mentioned him having a fiance which

means it's a secret. The judges each

wrote down the scores which I don't

know the numbers then I was asked to

leave. I went back to the reception area

and my stomach felt troubled because

I was tensed. I wasn't tensed because

of the audition, it was because of the

new piece of information I just got.

When I met Doja at the bar that night,

I never knew who he was. Now I have

two questions running through my mind.

Since he got me a slot to audition, will

he secure the spot for me or will he give

the spot to his fiance? Every A list model

in town is clamoring for this spot because

it is an international collaboration. So

being selected has many benefits. It

means you get to have it all. The fame,

money, meeting new people and

making new connections. Finally, at

9 p.m., our attention was called to

listen to the results. Our scores were

displayed on a screen and according to

the scores, Ima secured the spot while

came in third place after Shulamite. I

laughed quietly and said wow! Well-played

Doja. I picked up my bag and turned

around to leave but Ima held onto my

arm, pulled me back, and said, "Chris, I

want you to remember that you will

always be beneath me. I warned you

and asked you to leave because the

spot was mine already but you refused

to listen and wasted your time

auditioning. The same time you would

have spent auditioning for local and

small brands like SeaWorld Resort,

Lantern Bar, or even Melanthe Fashion

House." I laughed and said thanks for

the advice and suggestions at least now

I know I will always be beneath you in

crude ways and in using sex to secure

jobs. As for the local brands you

mentioned a while ago, I just want to tell

you that in the nearest future, local brands

like Kamil Shoes will be too sophisticated

for your level. "Chris your only problem

is that you never learn. The only way you

can win in any competition or audition is,

if I am not there." While she was walking

away, I said hold on, do you know who I

spent the whole of last night and part of

today with? Ask your fiance Doja where

he was last night through this afternoon.

We had mind-blowing sex and he kept

telling me how sweet I am. These were

his words; oh Chris you are so sweet,

you are so good, I am addicted to you, I

can't let you go. Now seeing that he has

a fiance who is as tall and stiff as the

Chinese bamboo tree, I can understand

why he was clinging onto a breath of

fresh air like me.
