Nicole had nothing to do but to frown as Natasha fixed the girl’s hair. Zara, on the other hand, kept looking at them. She didn’t even bother hiding how entertained she was watching the expression on Nicole’s face. She thought that there was a secret war that was going on between the two ladies, and there was only one reason behind that. It was no other than Kyle, of course.
Damn! What did they see in that guy for them to be so crazy about him? Yes, he looked like Clyde, but for her, her love was way better than him. She turned her head to look at the direction of the guy who was still busy preparing the background design for the photo shoot.
"Ouch!" screamed Nicole before giving her a glare.
"Ah, sorry!" she apologized. She really hadn’t noticed that she had been twirling her hair hard already. She was doing her hair like what she did with hers, just as what Kyle requested.
The guy even said that they no longer needed to call the make-up artist because Nicole’s face was already fine. He was also the one who would do the editing so the make up would be unnecessary.
Natasha concluded that Kyle probably didn’t like the studio to be crowded with so many people whenever there was a pictorial going on. He even asked Zara to leave the vicinity when the photo shoot was about to start already. The girl was about to oppose his request, but she could no longer do anything when Kyle repeated what he said in a serious manner already.
As she saw him work, she could see how serious he was with what he did. There wasn’t even any trace of the annoyingly playful look that he would always have in his face. He even looked more serious than Clyde when he was in that mood. She was even about to leave the room as well when Kyle stopped her.
"Please stay, Tash," he commanded without looking at her because his eyes were already fixed on the model in front.
She didn’t say anything, and just walked back to her initial position before sitting down, looking at the two. Kyle was giving several instructions to Nicole while he was also taking pictures with the camera that he was holding. Natasha couldn't help but be entertained as she watched them. It really looked like they were already used to that line of work.
She went to give Nicole a bottle of mineral water when they were taking a short break. She also assisted her as the girl changed into a set of fresh new clothes.
They stayed there for several hours until the photo shoot ended. She picked up the clothes that Nicole used before putting them inside the basket so that they’d be washed by the one assigned to wash them already.
Nicole was already dressed up as well when she walked towards Kyle who was still busy looking at the pictures. She was even the one who was surprised when the girl suddenly embraced Kyle as the guy was still looking at his camera.
"Wow, I thought I looked so odd but it turned out amazing! You’re really amazing, hon," she said in a gentle manner, her lips almost kissing the neck of the guy.
She saw no reaction from Kyle as he was still busy with whatever he was doing with the camera.
Natasha, on the other hand, felt the hair around his body standing because of what she saw. She decided to look away, and just continued cleaning things up. That was when the door opened, and Zara entered once more.
She saw the look of anger that was in the girl’s face when she saw the arms of Nicole that were already clinging into the waist of Kyle. Her steps were big as she walked towards the two’s direction.
"Kyle, we'll have lunch together, remember?" Her stares towards Nicole were sharp, they even seemed like they would hurt the girl in a second.
Nicole was not faltered with what she said, and just gave Zara a sweet smile. It was Natasha who was feeling nervous about the situation as she looked at them.
"You go ahead, Zara. I’ll just finish what I’m doing first. You may go now, Nicole. We're done today. Thank you," Kyle said without even bothering to look at the two girls.
No one moved a muscle when Kyle freed himself from the arms of Nicole before walking towards the direction of a table, and sitting on the chair in front of it.
"Both of you can leave now because I cannot work properly here,” he said, wanting them away.
Natasha quickly picked up the remaining things so that she could walk out together with the two girls. Hesitant, Nicole had no choice but to turn her back after putting her bag on her shoulder before walking out without saying anything.
Zara, on the other hand, didn’t say anything about it, but it looked as if she shifted her annoyance towards her instead.
"Miss Policarpio, after you’re done here, go to my office, and clean the mess there before you eat your lunch.” There was a hint of annoyance in her voice.
She was about to open her mouth to talk when Kyle spoke up.
"No, I will be needing her here, Zara. Find someone who’ll clean your mess for you or clean them yourself because I’ll be needing her here all day,” he said with his baritone voice.
Natasha wasn’t used when the guy was acting that way. She was used to him always annoying her with his teasing smile. It seemed like the guy was more appealing in comparison to his twin.
Oops! Why is she comparing the love of her life to his twin? She quickly shook her head to disagree with her initial thoughts.
“Why do you need her? She’s finished cleaning the mess here, right?” Zara said, confused.
"Do I need to explain everything to you, Zara? Do I have to ask for your permission?" That was when Kyle finally looked at the girl.
Disbelief was plastered right across the girl’s face when he said that. It seemed like Zara had forgotten that she was also an employee, and Kyle was their boss. Natasha looked down to hide the smile on her face.
‘You’re acting superior, girl,’ her mind said,
"What's so funny, Miss Policarpio?" Zara glared at her as she asked that question. The girl probably noticed her smile.
She quickly looked up to look at the girl, but the latter was quick to walk out of the room as well.
She heard Kyle sighing so she looked at him. She saw that she was already massaging his neck, and was already stretching his arms as well.
"I'm starving. I'm sure you also are, Tash. Let’s just order some food. We’ll just eat before we go back to work,” he said, massaging his stomach before winking at her.
The natural Kyle was finally back.
"What do you want to eat?” he asked her.
"Uh, you decide,” she said shortly.
"Okay. You’re not a picky eater, right? It looks like diet isn’t in your vocabulary,” he said, and the smile on his face widened.
Her forehead creased.
Wait! Did he just imply that she was fat? Her gaze immediately dropped to look at her stomach.
The guy chortled a laugh upon noticing what she did.
"What I mean is since you’re not a model, you aren’t very strict with what you eat so you’re probably fine with anything, right? I didn’t mean that you’re fat or something. Dating models is also tiring, you know, because almost every time, I can only order water for them because of their strict diet,” he said, still laughing before he looked at her stomach that she was looking at a while ago.
She saw that the guy was already doing something with his phone as he explained to her. Still, she couldn’t help but feel conscious about her body even when she knew that she wasn’t actually fat. She just looked fat when surrounded by slim models.
"It looks like you only hire the malnourished ones here,” she said that way too loud than what she intended, and that didn’t survive Kyle’s hearing.
He laughed hard once more because of what she said. She just grimaced at him before crossing her arms against her stomach to hide it.
Kyle really did order lunch for the both of them. However, the guy just ate his food quickly so Natasha had no choice but to eat in a quick manner as well. She had also picked up the clutter after finishing before the guy became busy at what he was doing once more.Most of the time, she would just be staring at whatever Kyle was doing. Sometimes, he’d ask for her opinions regarding the pictures that he was editing. In fairness, the results were really good. Nicole didn’t look like a clown in the pictures even when her clothing style and hair style were used for the photo shoot.She couldn’t help but feel happy as she quietly stared at Kyle who was busy with his laptop and camera. She only talked whenever he talked to her. She preferred it better when the guy was serious like that because he wasn’t annoying. What she did was that she just imagined that it was Clyde that she was together with since the twins looked like each other in the first pla
It had already been quite a while since she started crying, Shirley listening on the other line."It's really really heartbreaking! I'm already this close to him, and now I'll be knowing that he is getting married already? I no longer want this! I'll return there tomorrow immediately," she shouted as the sobs went on.Her tears were already all over her face, and she had no plans on wiping them off just so she'd feel the circumstance better."They'll still be getting married, they're not yet married. You still have a chance. You're even the one who said that you'll do anything to be Mrs. del Espania, right? How would that happen if you'll just go back here?" Shirley said in a gentle voice.That was when Natasha stopped sobbing.
There were vendo machines in different floors so she quickly went there, trying hard to remember what they told her to buy. She bought a canned coke first and a chocolate drink that was in a bottle before putting the two inside the big pockets of her pair of slacks. Afterwards, she bought a cup of cappuccino and black coffee. She walked away from the vendo slowly so that the coffee wouldn't spill. She even almost dropped the cups when she almost bumped against a guy."Oops!" the guy said, surprised, before holding both of her hands to help her get a steady footing.She immediately recognized his voice.It was Kyle once more!Why did it seem like it had already become normal for the two of them to have that kind of scene?
When she entered the conference room, she saw some folders in front of the long table there. The woman she saw outside gave her instructions earlier. She ignored her, occasionally covering her nose while looking at her badly. She kept sneezing in front of her.She pretended not to notice the woman's reaction even though she knew that the cologne with the ritual is the source of the nasty smell. She looked like she was catching her breath while talking. She left after she told her everything that she needed to do. She caught a glimpse of her quickly entering the restroom."Such a nitpicky," she whispered.She touched her neck and then sniffed her hand. She suddenly moved her hand away because of the intensity of the smell. She will just avoid getting close to anyone. That strange smell
She already had a copy of her next spell. She took a picture of that page. Since she didn't succeed in the first step, she can take the second step. That step was a bit difficult because she had to take a flower from the dead to make sure that the love of her life would fall head over heels in love with her.That meant she had to go to the cemetery to get at least one flower from any grave and give it to Clyde within five days. She also had to put a spell on the flower before giving it to the man.Even though she knew she would have a hard time, she was still not discouraged. After coming home from work, she rested for a while and then cooked to eat dinner first. Fortunately, there is a cemetery not far from where she lives. The cemetery can be seen just on the side of the road on the other corner. It was small and she thought that only
She had been tailing Zara for a while now as the girl was roaming around the production floor, talking to the models in there, but the best word to actually define what she was doing was scolding them. She wasn't even back from her trip for very long yet, but she was already bearing such negativity with her. Whenever she didn't like the clothes that the designer made the model wear, she would automatically grab the clothes from the rack before throwing them at her. She had no choice but to catch them every single time.She even pulled the scarf from a model who had a scheduled pictorial that day off the girl's neck before throwing it at her."Throw it!" Zara screamed at her.She couldn't help but feel anxious as she carried every single piece of clothing that Zara threw at her. She eve
She was already in front of Clyde's office when she stopped in her tracks. Now, what reason would she tell him as to why she was there? She was already standing there for a few minutes now, her two hands were holding the can of coke when she heard footsteps. She turned towards the direction of the sound of the footsteps.She saw Kyle who was staring at her with a confused expression on his face, probably wondering why she was just standing there. She already knew that he wasn't Clyde because she was already used to differentiating the two guys from each other as they didn't look exactly identical. She already knew the subtle differences in their faces. The majority of the time, Kyle would only wear a shirt or polo that he would pair with a pair of pants. He would only be wearing a coat and tie when there were clients.Natasha quickly lo
Before she went back home, she bought six cans of beer in a convenience store nearby. She could still feel her chest tightening for Clyde and not for herself. Not feeling inclined to cook, she also bought food for herself.After changing into clean clothes, she called her grandmother to check on her. She would call every day to talk to the old woman and to the person that she was with. She still wasn't used to being far away from her grandmother that was why it was inevitable that she'd miss her always. After talking to her grandmother, she sat in the middle of her bed before starting to drink the beer that she just bought. She also just bought food that she could pair with the drink. She didn't want to eat some rice because she wasn't even hungry in the first place.She opened the can of beer and didn't even hesitate to drink from it.
