A good eye

"Huh"?

He still didn't have a smile on his face so I didn't know what to do.

"Eyy, stop joking".

He raised his head and looked at me and the fake smile on my face vanished immediately.

"You... you are being serious"?

"Does it look like I'm joking"?

I sat upright and even though I was still very hungry, my appetite completely vanished.

"I'm done, sir".

He looked at me again.

"Won't you eat"?

"Ahh, I'm just so full".

My tummy grumbled again and I felt like beating it to bits but, I just couldn't.

Jameil was trying really hard not to laugh. Everything she did felt funny and he was hardly amused. When he noticed that she was having a hard time, he stood up and Zara immediately stood up with him.

"You don't have to stand up, eat your food I'll wait outside".

I sat down trying to understand what part of I'm okay it was that he didn't understand. I was still groaning when I noticed he paid for the meal. He turned to look at me and I couldn't help but smile. When he finally left, I dug into my food making sure I had my fill and when I was satisfied, I left.

I rushed to the car knowing that my boss was waiting for me. I got into the passenger sit in front and immediately thanked him for the meal.

"You definitely took your time".

I was fixing my seat belt when I heard him speak and I automatically came to a halt.

"I'm sorry".

Jameil gave a signal to his driver and we began moving.

"What time is my meeting at the airport"?

"It's in the next two hours sir".

He nodded and we went to the office. After a while, we got to the airport and I followed him to the meeting to get the minutes. When we got in, the lady was already waiting with someone who looked like her PA. It felt like I was drooling over her because, why not? She looked so beautiful and elegant with her legs crossed and her jacket hanging on her shoulder while her hands were folded.

I tried my very best to pretend not to notice how attractive she looked but I couldn't help but stare.

She didn't bother to stand up, only her assistant did but Mr Jameil didn't seem to bother as he also went over to sit.

"It's nice to meet you, I'm Jameil".

He said and stretched out his hand but she looked at it and completely ignored him.

To be honest, I was wondering why Mr. Jameil wanted to attend this meeting when it was just a signing with a brand ambassador but seeing her, I felt he found her attractive. Yet, I was beginning to find her quite rude, I mean, how could she ignore him just like that?

Her assistant shook my boss instead.

"I apologize, she having a very hard day, please".

She said and pointed to the chair. When we were all seated, Jameil began to speak but I noticed he began talking to the assistant instead of the model.

"Good, if this is all agreed upon, I'd like us to shoot some commercials on a plane. Don't worry, my company will provide everything you need".

"Excuse me, are you here to sign a contract with me or with my assistant "?

'Ahh, she finally spoke. I was beginning to think she was mute'.

I said in my mind and Mr Jameil finally looked at her.

"Were you expecting me to talk to myself"?

She scoffed at his remark but then, what Jameil said next surprised everyone including me.

This meeting is for her, not you".

He pointed at her assistant. I was so shocked that all my reasoning went out of the window.

'What... What is he saying'?

He then took out a card from his inner pocket and handed it over to her.

"Come to my office on Tuesday next week, we'll finalize the contract then".

He stood up and this time around, every other person stood as well, including the rude brat.

"But... sir, I'm not a model, I'm not even signed to any agency".

He turned back and looked at her.

"We'll make you one, make sure to be on time. Zara"?

He called my name and began walking out.

"Yes sir".

I immediately packed everything and rushed after him.

When Zara and Jameil left, the model began to shout.

"You'll pay for this, do you even know who I am? I'll make sure you don't get away with this. Ahh!!!!"

"Meli, it's okay".

"Shut it!! You did this intentionally, you dressed up and tried so hard to look nice, you seduced him and made him give you the contract".

"No, I never did anything of that sort".

The model was so furious she slapped her assistant. The assistant held her face down in pain while Meli walked out angrily with her purse.

When we got back to the car, I was still looking at him through the rearview mirror. He was looking at his phone but he suddenly spoke.

"Do you have something to say"?

"Huh"?

'Shit, how did he see me'.

"Uhh, no, nothing sir".

He said nothing and we left for the office. I still couldn't help but look at him and when we finally got into the office, he sat down and looked at me. I knew he was looking at me but I still couldn't stop looking.

"If you have something to say, say it".

"Why did you do that sir"?

"What"?

I was still standing but then, because of how curious I was, I sat down without waiting for his permission. Of course, with this kind of attitude, I'll get fired in no time.

"Well, I know she was a little bit rude but she's pretty and she had all it takes to make the brand you want to promote go perfectly well. So... why"?

"Are you a lesbian"?

"Huh? No".

'What is this? What does that have to do with anything'?

"Feels like you are very attracted to her".

"Uhm I mean, she is pretty".

"That doesn't do my company any good besides, her assistant is much prettier than she is and she'll be an amazing model".

"How do you know that? I feel we'll have to work on her a lot. Making a pose is not as easy as you think it is besides, she isn't signed under any entertainment company".

"I'll help her get signed. My younger brother's company is doing pretty well".

"Then get a model from him!!"

Jameil stopped reading the document and leaned back on the chair while looking at her.

"Why does it have to be her? She is not a model, even if you want to help her, she'll be a pure novice".

"She won't".

"And how do you know that"?

He smiled lightly.

"I have a good eye for things like this".
