And from here, Audrey's journey to stardom began after three years working through many rejections and accomplishments. Though the experiences shared by the team of her agents in the initial years of work always stayed with her.
After one of the strenuous tours, all the models celebrated their success at the round table with celebratory drinks in their hands and toasted for many more to come.
Soon the topic eased to their personal stories which could put any commoner into disbelief.
"Why is it that for everything you gain in life, something is always lost ?" commented an established model.
While some models recounted emotional manipulation and bullying, others claimed to have endured physical and even s*xual abuse at work.
“As models, we're not paid for our talents. We're just renting our bodies and faces ! Our body isn't our own any
The stage had only gotten bigger since that fateful day three years back, when she had decided to enter the modelling world. The unstoppable multi-hyphenate, Audrey, had conquered every field imaginable in the modeling portfolio.But, not a day went by in these three years, when her eyes couldn't stop lubricating a stream of incessant tears."Welcome, Audrey ! What brought you today to my cabin ?" Calvin asked as he greeted on the supermodel’svisit to the modelling agency's headquarters."It had been a long time since I met you, so I just dropped in to say hello !" Audrey replied."So, what is next on the horizon for my dear friend and supermodel after a string of epic highs ?" the handsome Calvin Hughes askedwith a pleasing smile on his face."I'm planning to be a voice for all the injustice that happens in our fashion industry, besides focusing and constantly
Once, the tired ball of energy fell asleep, Racheltucked her little cubgently into bed and made sure he was warm and comfortable by covering him with soft fur blankets.“Good Night, baby boy. Mommy loves you,” she kissed his forehead and tip-toed out of the room.With an appealingly piquant,zesty lemon tea in one handand a mobile in another,Rachel moved into the study to send some important office emails when her cell phone suddenly rang.“Hello ? Rachel ! It’s me. What's up for the weekend ?" Zoey asked in weekend excitement."Nothing much, Zoey. Soaking in the good vibes. How about you ?" Rachel answered."I was planning a playdate for Alex and my son,Ian for tomorrow and we can have our girls night out at the club and have dinner there," Zoey suggested."Who will look after the kids when we'
Rachel usually took Alex on weekends to places, such as parks, grocery stores, and museums, and pointed out different objects, naming each one so that she could teach him in a fun way.Sunday morning, she decided to go for a grocery run. She always felt that grocery shopping with Alex was a tremendous task in itself but she always preferred taking him along as today, so as to open his eyes up to the wide world of colorful produce.From convincing Alex to not put every single thing in the cart to giving in to his please to push the cart himself, Rachel was in for an adventure in the grocery store, especially when Alex with a cart was similar to stunts of 'The Fast and the Furious'.Grocery run with Alex was just saying on repeated mode "put that back !" every 30 seconds until both of them were literally crying. Itwas one of the rituals they always followed in the grocery store.As they sta
Flashback….Leo was her first love and they had imagined themselves together forever, making babies and Rachel knew that he would be a great father.Rachel and Leo had a completely magical year together. He was, and is, very confident and successful. On reflection, there was a class difference but they were deeply tuned into each other’s energies.He was born and brought up in a wealthy business family while her parents were immigrants and just wanted her to get a good education, and have a stable career.Finding her feet in life was quite difficult. She worked hard at school for everything, including going to university but found the career thing overwhelming, especially finding her own direction."Hey, Rachel ! Finally after a month we're talking," Leo said excitedly."Hi Leo ! I know. It's great to hear your voice. I really wanted to focus on
After a month, Rachel felt a strange feeling ! She wasn’t unwell or sick but she felt really uneasy with hyperacidity that she couldn't explain and persistent severe headaches. She experienced food cravings but noticed food reservations more.She went to great lengths rationalizing and spending the better part of the week in suspense, inwardly turning the possibility over and over, taking an inventory of her own body, chanting what if, what if, what if.She had been that woman: sure my period will come any day now but when she missed one, she turned and got her tests done in the hospital.That same day, she received the two biggest pieces of news of her life.She learnt that she was pregnant with her first child with Leo and received a letter about her scholarship grant for her admission to a top ivy league college on the other side of the country.Rachel took both th
The only thing that got her through was the fact she didn’t want to keep going around in circles anymore. She didn’t want to keep analyzing and doing a stock-take of all that Laura and Valerie said and all that had happened between her and Leo.That was when Rachel began to shift her focus, consciously moving on from what had happened to what would be happening in just a few short months.She began focusing on the type of mother she wanted to be, planning how she wanted the baby and her life to look, restructuring the vision for her future to be just the two of them.She also knew that in her current state of mind she wouldn't be able to be the mother that she wanted to be.So, after taking stock of the current state of her mind, she realized that she had about six months of pregnancy left, which meant she had six months to heal herself to be able to be the best version of herself for her
"Hey Rachel ! How have you been ?" Audrey askedfrom the other end of the phone."I'm good ! What a pleasant surprise to hear your voice !" Rachel replied."I was missing you so much and more than you,I was missing the days when we used to talk and laugh for hours sitting in an empty classroom and in your dorm room" Audrey recalled."Yes, there used to be almost endless things to talk about, and time used to just fly by as we chatted together," Rachel responded as she was transported back to the graduation days."I don't remember when was the last time we met and had a long talk with each other," Audrey said."Yup, it’s been quite a while. We were both so busy in our hectic schedules, going through personal issues in our own respective lives and new career moves that we really stopped seeingeach other," Rachel replied. “Calls and texts are not enough
