It was a bright new morning in the City of Guijing, busy people pacing back and forth in the wide pedestrian lane while the cars were halted momentarily. Many were half-running and walking, while some tried to catch the countdown of the traffic light in hopes that they can still arrive at work at the exact time.
In a particular company, with silver cursive letters, and highlighting A by making it larger, Axia Company, being one of the distinguished businesses in the fashion industry, was checking personally their newly hired women that are supposed to be trained for the next winter fashion show.
“Claire?” Andromeda muttered as her face brightened up. Her roommate is in the same workplace as she is! What a good coincidence this is, she wouldn’t need to feel needlessly mean all throughout a whole day, as far as possible, she wants to avoid interacting with the horrible humans.
She barely cares if she generalizes them, albeit, discern that few one
Claire entered the room where all the rookie models are, stomping her feet in annoyance. She saw how Heidi snickered and laughed at her, it was clear that what she’s wearing is nothing but cheap clothes. Her pride was hurt with that, and even her fists remained clenched. Heidi might have tried her contempt, however, it did not escape Claire’s keen eyes.‘Just wait, when I become the wife of Azrael, you won’t be looking down on me anymore, I can end you and your company’ she thought while her lips were pressed tightly.“Are you okay?” Andromeda asked, her turquoise eyes were filled with concern for the woman.“Yes,” Claire replied in a rough tone as if shoving Andromeda away.This hurt the heart of the mermaid, yet, she didn’t ask any more questions, not wanting to appear too clingy and irritate the woman more. She’s just glad that Claire was hired nevertheless.Focusing her attention
In the original version of “Sweet Woman” the story started when the female lead, Skylar Claire Monteverde, an orphan, moved into a small apartment and met Andromeda Seline Fuentez, a seemingly cold and harsh woman. They barely talked and Claire discovered that Nixie, or Andromeda, not only hated her, but all other people too. The female protagonist, being the kind woman that she is, tried to understand why Andromeda behaves in such a way, but no matter how much she wrack her brain, no answer was found. It continued that way until she had to leave after being promoted from work, Roselle, in particular, favored her most among out of all the candidates, she was liked by her co-models too, being the gentle and lovable girl, the opposite of the mean Nixie.“Ahh, I can’t remember the other small details” Claire crumpled the paper on her hand, and began doodling again of what the plot should be. So far, she has only changed a few things, however, it see
The next day, a delightful news awaited Roselle, she was wearing an emerald-colored pencil skirt this time with a white off the shoulder crop top, partnered with white stilettos. Her lips are filled with a vibrant red color.“You made the right choice, Nixie! I will inform the organizers right away,” Roselle exclaimed in happiness, but her face tried to remain neutral, trying to be a professional despite the ecstatic news.‘Maybe, she isn’t too difficult to deal with,’ Roselle thought before she walked away, with her wide-screened red phone on her right hand, she must call the designers too and send the photographs of Nixie!Andromeda was left in a neutral state, she had agreed because of how Claire convinced her yesterday. If only not for Claire’s suggestion, she would have declined the offer without much thought as she didn’t need the money abruptly, and is still unsure whether she has the guts to face a large number o
The sun was high up as it was around afternoon. Andromeda was wearing a light pink colored dress with a sequin pattern. This is one of the dresses that Roselle had passed on to her, after accepting her proposal. Her golden hair was tied in a side braid. The light make-up made her porcelain white skin seem more enthralling. A bright smile made her squint her eyes and her cherry lips to turn upward.Memories began gushing through her head.Today, she returned to the place where she and Azrael departed. It was the third closest ocean nearby their workplace and apartment. She didn’t bother spending a few more minutes inside the cab if it meant she could be at the place that holds a special place in her heart.The cool breeze of the ocean touched her delicate face, and the smell of the sea warmed her soul. It was serene and different from the noisy hustle and bustle sound of the city roads. Here, she was alone, a bit afar from the port where they landed before.
Andromeda’s Point of ViewDid he see my tail? Did he hear my singing, aaaaah, I am going crazy here. He cannot know that I am a mermaid, this is unplanned, it shouldn't have happened. But it’s already late at night, how come he is still here?My heart...my heart won't stop beating rapidly. The sea water was cold, yet why am I feeling so hot, so in need of your touch?Trying to lift up my head and encounter his grayish orbs, I feel like I am melting. My eyes involuntarily shuts its own, shy from being seen and heard. Oh, how I wish this is merely a hallucination, or perhaps a dream.Would he even believe me?Would he hate a mermaid like me?I know humans deemed us as mythical, a story that can only be found in children’s books. My fingers, even under the water, began intertwining with each other, playing and hoping that it would ease my nervousness.I cannot look, I shouldn't look, but there’s a part of me that
The third point of viewThe young man and woman continued huffing after they shared a long and steamy kiss. It was a passionate one, filled with different and mixed kinds of emotions -- gratefulness, missing one another, a realization of hidden feelings, and most of all, the feeling of a budding love in the man’s heart.He has never seen anyone so beautiful and mesmerizing as the woman he is holding in his arms. He felt blessed to be able to see once more, for his eyes to be healed by Andromeda. He was so sure, guaranteed that he will live his life blind to what other people look like, of how he looks like. However, unworthy as he was, he is given a chance to redeem himself. The doctors that he asked for, the best ones, said all the same thing.‘It was impossible for your eyes to recover, Sir Execroz’But here he is now, looking at the most precious gem he had discovered, her turquoise eyes were the most brilliant ones he had se
Having one of the longest yet exhilarating days ever, Andromeda felt her back easy up when she laid down on her one-person bed. Her muscles were relieved of tension and after taking a nice bath, she can finally reunite with her bed and fall into deep slumber. Flashbacks of what happened engalloped her mind.(Flashback)“Give me your phone number,” Azrael uttered before Andromeda could truly part ways with him.“It is 650923xxxxx,” she replied her memorized phone number and Azrael nodded, the information was already on his mind, he will surely transfer it later on his phone.“Mine is…” Azrael was interrupted.“Hep, hep, wait, I will get my phone,” Andromeda replied in a panic tone, “I am not like you Mister Genius,” she reprimanded that her intellect may not be of the same level. Besides, her memory when it comes to mathematics is kinda foggy as she had never had to deal with numbers
Third point of View“Chin up, elongate your neck as much as possible” the guy trainer instructed. He was busy for the past hour training and giving advice to the newbie model, named Nixie.She was petite and has a striking gorgeous face, an excellent candidate to introduce the Autumn Collection. This season would shake the fashion industry and also increase Axia’s company’s reputation.‘Roselle has a great eye for models, what she found this time is a gem,’ the man thought. He is a strict tailor and Axia’s top dressmaker. When he heard that a model backed out and that there were no available top-tier models to attend as there is also an international runway that is currently being held, he was left with no choice but to pick from the newbies, or else, all his efforts will be in vain.Most of their sponsors and investors scheduled their day to be free that particular day, that’s why they cannot change it anym
