CHAPTER 6
"YOU ARE SO cute at the same time humble. So, are you ready for the photoshoot?"Vanessa-san asked her and Zenah smiled while nodding her head in agreement.
"Yes, I'm ready. If I make mistakes or I pose different from what you instruct, please tell me and correct me if possible."Zenah said politely.
Vanessa smiled sweetly at her, "Okay. I'll do that then."She said while started walking to the other room, while Zenah was following her.
They already reached the other room which has a background of green and it was on stage, while the cameras were surrounding the stage.
Vanessa picked clotthathich she will be wearing for today, the dress that she pick is a maid-like outfit. The kind of maid outfit that she saw in anime. Vanessahandst to her and she accepts it.
Zenah went to the dressing room which is located at the back of the stage, it has a lot of curtains and course a door to prevent someone from doing something inappropriate.
When she was done dressing as a maid-outfit... she went onto the stage with a background of green. She gets the wood stick like she was trying to enchant the viewer with her stick.
The next pose is to smile and do the peace sign thingy white left hand while the right hand was on her waist. Sticking her tongue out while acting cute.
The last pose that she did is to look at the other side—doing the side view, while the props... which is the table with one chair and a cup of coffee that was put on the table then she pretended to drink the coffee while holding it using her right hand, while her gaze was on the left side like she didn't look at the camera to make it more attractive. The thing that she acts like she was drinking coffee, and wearing a maid outfit while looking at the other side and her mind was thinking of something.
When they already did the last shot, she sighed and put the mug on the table and then she look at Vanessa-san who was in awed, forming an 'o' letter on her mouth while looking at her then she rush in her direction.
"Damn. That was so good. I never meet a model like you, who looks good in any outfit that you would wear. I'm sure that today, the maid costume will be sold-out once I post the photo on the small Billboard in our store. I'm sure this time, our Fashion Gallery will have a lot of customers."Vanessa-san said with an excitement hint in her voice like she can't wait for the day to happen.
Zenah couldn't help but smile as well, "That's good. I also hope that this business will grow in the meantime before I move to another country."
Due to what Zenah said, Vanessa shockingly look in her direction while her eyes were open and her mouth was forming to an 'o' with a shock visible on her face, "What do you mean by that? You mean you won't stay here?"
Zenah sighed before she nodded her head, "Yes. I'm sorry, it's just that I'm hiding from someone and I need to move to another country once a week."
"What do you mean by that? You're not a wanted woman, right? I mean, a goddess and a gorgeous like you would be a wanted?"Vanessa said.
Zenah shook her head, "No, it's not like that. if he will found me and hugged me saying the words 'Found you're meaning, I lose and he would win. The condition if I will lose is I would marry him and give birth to his child and I will lose my freedom so as well as my normal life. But if I would win from our playing tag, I don't have to marry him and gave birth to his child and he said that he would convince my parents, to use his status in lending a hand to our family. Then I would leave my life just as what I wanted to be, the life where I am the master of my own life and I am the puppet of my own. I don't want someone to control my life and to control whom I want to marry in the future regarding his background status."She said making Vanessa hug her as soon as she finished telling her the reason.
Vanessa hug her trying to comfort her at least by hugging her, telling her that she was not alone. "I'm sorry to hear that."
Zenah chuckled, "It's fine. I'm already used to it so it's not already shocking for me. Anyways, I'm sorry that I will move to another country a week from now on."
"Don't worry, it's fine. You don't have to worry about that, I'm grateful that you would work for us in just one week."Vanessa-san said before she move away from hugging her.
Zenah smiled, "Don't worry, Vanessa-san I'm gonna do everything just to make your business successful i. just the meantime and I would gladly help as much as I can for your business."
Vanessa went in her direction to pat her head, "Thank you, I appreciate your kindness."
Zenah was about to open her mouth to speak when they were interrupted by one of their staff.
They both look at the woman who was huffing, catching her breath while her both hands were on her knees, she must be tired from running. Vanessa and Zenah went in her direction to ask what happened to her.
The woman answered Vanessa's question, "An l-lot of m-male and f-female c-customer w-wanted to buy the maid costume which was advertised by Zenah-san." She was still catching her breath.
Zenah gave her a bottle of water and the woman accepted it while thanking her before she drank the water.
"So, what about it?"Vanessa-san asked her.
The Fashion Gallery has three floors. The first floor is for the customers who would buy the costumes and other clothes or outfits that they would like. The second floor is for the photo shoot for the advertisement, while the third floor is for the other stock for the costumes and others. It can be also used for making costumes for the workers.
The woman took a deep breath before she talk, "Actually... they said that they would like to meet Zenah, then if that happens they would buy the maid costume if Zenah will be there to be the one who will hand the item."
Zenah looked at the woman before she looked at Vanessa who was looking apologetic.
"I'm sorry if this involves you... I mean you're trying to—"
Zenah chuckled, "I told you already, Vanessa-san that I would do anything just to make your business grow, so it's fine by me since it's still the second day of the month. Meaning, I still have a lot of time to hide in another week since Yvrozz was still in his penthouse for a month."
Vanessa nodded her head but she still has this apologetic visible on her face, "I'm sorry if this made you uncomfortable."
"I'm not uncomfortable with this. Looks like I became famous in just a day."Zenah said while laughing trying to ease Vanessa's uneasiness.
CHAPTER 7 VANESSA is still 26 years old, but she looks like she's 22 years old. She has a baby face and also a slim body. Her height is 5'7 and her motto is 'Always wear your crown, woman. Your crown symbolizes your true self including bravery, kindness, and generosity." She's still single and currently finding her true love in the fiction world which is called by many... a Fictional Character. Vanessa smiled at her, "Yeah. You're gorgeous that's why it feels like you're gonna be our lucky star to expand our business." She laugh at what she said, "That's not true. You're also a goddess, all of your workers have their beauty and their hard work will always pay off that's why it's not shocking if your business will be successful someday. I'd like to visit here again once I settle down." "Sure. You're always welcome here. So, are you gonna do exactly what the customers told you to do?"Vanessa asked changing to the main topic. Without hesitation, she nodded her head, "Of course. I wil
CHAPTER 8THE FOURTH DAY, as usual routine she did all of her morning routine and choose the t-shirt and jeans for her outfit, she wore the white socks first before the shoes, then her outfit for today is done. She just choose a simple outfit since she know that she would change the outfit which she will wear today to another costume for the advertisement.As usual, she take a cab and went to the Fashion Gallery. It took her 10 minutes to arrived at her destination. As soon as she step in to the door, Vanessa-san was waiting for her in front of the door, she was standing while crossing her arms, looking at the door to bell from time to time.When Vanessa-san saw Zenah, she immediately went to her to great her, "Good Morning. It's already fourth day of your stay here in Japan, time really flies fast. I'm sad because in 3 days from now, you will move to another country again."Vanessa-san said while a sad face visible on her face.Zenah can't help to be sad also
CHAPTER 9IT'S ALREADY 3:12 in the afternoon and the man who was holding the iPad was still in the Fashion Gallery while the other customers were already left because they already buy the items that they wants. Of course, the tuxedo which Zenah advertised was sold-out that's why, Vanessa—her manager and her boss told her that it's fine for her to went with the man. She's thankful that her boss is kind to her, but before she went out with the man who's holding the iPad, Vanessa gave her, her payment for today.And of course, she changed her outfit to a t-shirt and a jeans before she went out of the Fashion Gallery together with the man.She broke the silents in between them, "So, why are you here? I mean, who are you?"The man sighed before he answered, "I'm Ryuuichiro Satoma and I'm Yvrozz one of his circle friend. I'm here because he say so."Her eyebrow raised, "Oho... so you mean you stalk me because of what Yvrozz say to you?"Ryuuichiro
CHAPTER 10"Then if that will happens, I'm gonna pursue her again until she will say 'yes' to me. I'm not gonna give up on her just because she say 'no'. There's still a lot of letters in alphabet, if Plan A doesn't work, there's still more alphabets. If all of thr alphabets doesn't work? then, it's time for the Plan 1 to turn, and there are still a lot of numbers until it reaches the infinity which is never, meaning, I won't give up. 10 years is already enough."Ryuuichiro said making Zenah smile."That's nice. You better not give her up until she would say 'yes'. Ah... it must be nice to be to be in love with someone. Here I am, trying to hide from someone to avoid marriage and have a child."Zenah said while talking loudly , intentionally, she want Yvrozz to hear what she say and she succeed since he heard her loud and clear."Then, why not fall for me? I promise to be good to you."Yvrozz flirted her, winking while giving her his smirk.Zenah tsked, "No than
CHAPTER 11Yvrozz shook his head while smirking, "It's not because I'm still in my penthouse, I didn't even go outside of my penthouse just what I have promised to you. Besides, you already agree about using connections and devices, it's not my fault if I have lots of connections than yours."Zenah glared at him, "Damn you."She sighed, "Well whatever, just do whatever you want. Besides, even if you will know my location, unless you touch me saying the words 'Found You' it's still be useless since I'll just use my agility and speed when it comes to running.""Don't worry honey, I'm also a runner you know."A teasing smile plastered on his lips.Ryuuichiro agreed, "Yeah. Trust me, he run fast I think it's also the same fast as cheetah since he used to run away from trouble makers when he was in highschool and he used to also run as fast as he could when their pet dogs would chase him. Even though he tried to convince his father to return the dogs to the ward but
CHAPTER 12"So, what time is your flight?"Xuan—the camera man asked her.She look at his direction, "It's around 1:30 in the afternoon.""Time really flies fast. Damn."Vanessa commented and all of them agreed in unison."Let's take a picture for memorial."Zenah suggested and all of them take their phone to capture the moment.They were enjoying, laughing, eating, and drinking beers until they were drunk except for Zenah and Vanessa who is undefeatable when it comes to drinking alcoholic beverages."Tsk. All of them are already wasted."Vanessa hissed while looking at the staffs who were singing, dancing and other were doing some break-dances.Zenah chuckled, "Let them be.""Are you okay?"Asked by Vanessa.She sighed before she answered, "Of course not. I'm not okay with moving another country and I'm not okay with my responsibility as my family's heir, like why is it me? Why can't I decide for my own? Why do I have to be in a marr
CHAPTER 13ZENAH FROZED at what she said, "What do you mean? I didn't know that you have a little sister.""That's because I didn't tell you about it. But just like you, she also ran away from her responsibility, we are bound to marry someone but she refused to marry the man which was my mother keeps on bragging about because she fall in love with someone whom my parents can't accept with. She ran from her responsibilities to fight her love for that man. But one thing which saddened more is the man whom she was fighting for was fighting for another woman."She said.Zenah raised her head and she saw the sadness and anger on Vanessa's face. Every person has a story to tell but sometimes it's hard to tell someone because the story is always have end with a sad ending.Zenah wanted to speak but she don't know what should she speak about that's why she just hug her tightly."But what saddened more is her love lead her to death." Vanessa said while trying to
CHAPTER 14"OKAY. I'm at Baguio City right now, since I know you've been tracking me, I know that you know where I am today."Zenah said."Yeah. I'll book a flight this evening."Yvrozz said making Zenah choke by her own saliva."Stop kidding me, it's already 9:05 in the evening, yet you wanted to book a flight? Just book a flight for tomorrow!"Zenah said loudly."I know, but I can't wait to see you again."Yvrozz said.She hissed, "You already seen me, remember in Japan when you called?""I want to see you in flesh not in screen, it's different when I see you in personal."Yvrozz said making her rolled her eyes."Yeah, yeah, yeah, whatever and please refrain from saying sweet lines."Zenah said while she continued eating.She heard from the other line tapping the keyboard. Then once again, he spoke with a glint of happiness on his voice, "I've already book a flight in 10:00 in the evening, from New York to Philippines, Baguio City."
