CHAPTER TWO

MARK

My alarm woke me up by 6am, I just turned the fucker off. I stood up and decided to go to the gym in my basement. I worked out for about thirty minutes before going to take a shower.

I applied my skincare Products, I know I am a guy but growing up I had the worst Acne and then I had a glow up but since then I started using my skincare products because I don't ever want to feel like I did then again. Applying my hair product I decided to air dry my hair walking to my kitchen to make a smoothie. Drink my smoothie I opened my mac book going through my emails. Been the CEO of an entertainment company with lots of sub station is hard because i have to know a lot of things. Replying all important emails, I remembered that I have an interview for my new secretary today. My former secretary got married to my best friend and the fucker decided that she shouldn't work again stupid idiot. I love Nancy because she does her job so well but now I have to find a new person and that person has a big shoe to fill.

Going into my closet I pick a black Armani suit pairing it with black shirt. I went to my garage and picked my Bentley Mulliner Bacalar,I love my cars I have about 10 cars.

Driving from my house to work is about 15 minutes depending on traffic. On getting to my office I went straight to my elevator and went to my office. at around 8:30 Nancy walked in I immediately stood up with a smile on my face.

" Nancy good morning" I greeted her pulling her into a hug.

" good morning Mark" she replied hugging me back. She is my second favourite female first is my Older sister.

" so I decided to come myself to interview them so I can pick someone who I can vouch for " she said taking a sit.

She handed me a bunch of files of the contestants. And I was looking through them they all seem pretty OK but someone caught my eyes. A black woman whose name is Serene from her passport she looks like a goddess I really can't wait to see her in person.

She is 22 years old majoring in Business nice.

Exactly 9am We moved to the interview room and as much as I wanted serene to enter first we are picking at random.

The contestants all seem okay with the most basic answers about why we should pick them, seriously noone caught my attention.

Calling out another number the door opened and I looked up to see her standing in all her glory she is even prettier in person my God!, she was wearing a blue shirt that is covering her figure and worn out flats. She looks okay with a normal figure with what I can see. She hurried to her sit and then she looked up, her eyes went to Nancy first then to me, it looked like she was staring into my soul. She looked back at Nancy smiling at her. Sincerely I felt sad because for the first time I wanted a validation from a female, I wanted to know what she thinks of Me. I have heterochromia, with blue and Silver eyes they look weird and I know that.

Nancy asked her for her name and my God her voice is doing things to me. Then Nancy asked her the routine question and she was about to answer when.

Jane from Modelling station barged in running up to me

" Good morning Mr Avery, we have a problem. Hannah got into an accident this morning and she won't be able to take the pictures for the magazine" she said .

" is she alright? " I asked because health is important.

" Yes she is she broke her leg but nothing major, we need a new model before tomorrow and with her figure which is rare not many black women look like her" Jane said panicking.

My Magazine called AMORE features celebrities interview , Gossips, fashion ideas and fashion catalogue. And now without a Model we won't be able to publish tomorrow which is bad.

Nancy nudged me and looked towards Serene.

" she looks similar to her, we may just use her face and upper body" she said and I looked at Serene they look similar but Serene is way prettier I don't know how to explain it she is a goddess.

"Serene we need your help can you please Stand up" I said looking at her that was the first time I spoke to her.

"what can I do to help sir" she replied looking so confused she is cute.

"can you do a 360" I asked hopefully it doesn't sound weird.

She turn around and my God she is built different, I thought she wasn't thick which I had no issue with my seeing the kind of butt she has I just want her to sit on my face truthfully.

"they look like the same but she is definitely bigger on the lower part" Nancy said and you could see that the word bigger offended serene no one like to be called bigger.

" we need you to replace a model of ours that got into am accident on her way here, we need to submit a few pictures for us to be able to print out our magazine and we can't get a similar model in such a short time" I said hoping she will agree.

" don't worry we will pay you and then you will complete your interview. We pay our models 500 per hour but we would pay you 1000 because its impromptu" I added because I felt like it would influence her Decision.

Her jaws dropped literally. And she accepted. We left the office with her following me. We decided to take my elevator and on getting to the 10th floor everyone went quiet. They feared me for some reason

" Good morning Mr Avery" the photographer greeted. And from the corner of my eyes I saw Serene 's eyes widen I guess she didn't know who I was.

" Good morning James , this is Serene she would be replacing Hannah for this shoot, she is new to this so please make her feel welcome" I said

" Yes sir" he replied. " Jane show her the ropes and let's get started" he said.

" Serene drop your personal belongings in this box so we can keep it safe" Jane told her holding out a box to her. She wasn't with any purse or bag so brought out a single key and her phone from her waist band. I almost laughed at the way she kept her phone. But looking at her phone I couldn't help but wonder how she is using it. The phone is so broken that even a begger would reject it.

Then Jane walked her to hair and makeup station. Normally I don't stay for the process but I wanted to watch her. Just because she is new to this I convinced myself.

The hairstylist started weaving her hair which was strange because I haven't seen the process of styling a hair like hers before. Then they glued the wig and I haven't seen her face buy I know she would look stunning. It is a burgundy coloured wavy wig, reach just below her shoulders. Then they did her makeup which didn't take a long time because they didn't have much to do one her face the woman is a goddess.

Moving her quickly to clothes I couldn't wait to see how she comes out looking. Few minutes later she came out wearing a armless corset top still with her pants from earlier. She looks so Gorgeous I could look at her all day, she locked eyes with me and quickie looked away I wish she could look at me forever.

She got to the set which was a plain white background, and she was asked to strike a pose. She did the hands on the waist pose and it was okay but I guy James needed more.

" my love you are already stunning, just look relaxed and don't look into the camera, pick a familiar face from the crew and focus on the person" James said and out of no where I was angry because he called her his love.

Serene locked eyes with me and I was so happy because I was a familiar face to her. She kept studying my face and I started feeling self-conscious because I wonder what she thinks about me. James was just so happy with her relaxed face that he took a lot of pictures and then she was asked to change into a different outfit. This time around she Changed into a bodycon dress with cut out around the belly area she kept covering her stomach and James told her to drop her hands. She did and I almost gasped out loud she has a huge scar going from the right to the left. If it wasn't in the middle you would think its from a botched C section.

Everyone kept staring at her and I could tell she was uncomfortable.

" my love what happened to you there ?" James asked and truthfully I was curious too .

" my ex" she said lowly looking away. What the fuck what kind of Animal is he ?? Doing that to a woman.

" I am sorry about the scar, I can go and remove the clothes I am really sorry" she said and I felt so bad that I didn't even know when I talked

" Hey princess it's not your fault, just relax someone would cover it with makeup and the editor would do the rest" I told her looking into her face and she blushed at the nickname. What the fuck did I just call her princess. What's going on with me.

Five hours later she was done with 20 different clothes and I was also really happy because she has to eat something.

She changed back into her clothes and wanted to remove her wig. When the stylist told her she could go with it. That's how we do in My company the glue if removed forcefully can ruin the models hair line.

" serene come with me" I said after she picked up her key and phone. Walking towards a room on the floor I met with Jane who handed Serene a bag, with Few Items she modeled in today, a purse and heels. She looked so shocked .

" is this for me ?? " She asked

" Yes it is, we give our models sample product " Jane replied

" wow you are really amazing " serene said looking into the bag. We left for the elevator.

" you are coming with me for lunch and then I can pay you for the day. And since there is still time maybe we can conclude your interview today" I said to her.

" Yes Mr Avery" she replied and although I didn't like her calling me Mr Avery I didn't correct her because we are at work.

Leading her into my car, I drove towards my favourite steak house.
