Chapter 106: Chapter 106
For three days, Mandy didn't return home to Lauren, she get a call from her manager, Sally, so she had to go, just arriving at the site, the first person she saw was Amelia but she didn't recognize her.
Hi! I am Amelia Cooper.
Cooper! Mandy take the last name, she nodded.
Oh! I remember, you the girl from the party, I didn't know you are a model.
Not really a professional, just for my dad's company.
Hm! Those lovely shoes of your dad and by the way, how is your brother? Amelia look at her.
He is fine, he is having a show for classic model's, especially foreigners, you might want to watch. Mandy look at her, then she stretch an invitation to her. I will be expecting you.
Alright, I will try. Mandy take the invitation from her hand, she give it to her Manager Sally, the girl is to add that to her list of appointments, Amelia smile as Mandy walked away, she needs to trap Mandy, the girl had to dance to her tune.
Miss Mandy, do you really want to honor the invitation?
I don't have any photoshoot on that day right?
Yes, but miss Amelia is a demon to work with, I don't think, she really likes you. Mandy look at Sally, she is also a young girl in her early twenties but she doesn't feel right about Amelia hand of friendship to Mandy, she is not the type that love at first sight.
Don't worry, if it gets out of hand, then we will just leave.
If you say so. Mandy give her that sheepish smile, she too smiled at Mandy, after her photoshoot, she did her runway for Omega entertainment, it was mind blowing, the young lady have a good gate, so everything takes her, her actions are super cute.
Mandy is so busy through the week, is like Lauren did the right thing, relieving her of her job is perfect, there is no way, she could cope, in all this days, Lauren had no idea that Bryan wasn't driving Mandy, he is too busy that he forgets to place a call to Bryan to check about Mandy's welfare.
There comes Friday noon, that was the day for the show, Mandy dress very simple but yet gorgeous and left for the show, she was going to honor the invitation, coming out of the building, Bryan is standing there.
What are you doing here?
Ma, I am here to take you wherever you want to go.
Bryan, like I said, I no longer work for Daniel's, so I don't think you should...
I know but my contract has not yet elapsed, so I can't stop.
Then don't work, just relax and...
I beg you, my family need this and I wouldn't want the boss to have my head for breakfast. Mandy frown, she doesn't want to hear anything about Lauren, this man plead just made her shift ground. Fine, let's leave.
Mandy could admit that the place is cold, seeing different model as they showcase the shoes, Mandy is watching with interest, she kind of like the sight.
Hey! Mandy closed her eyes, her brain is not playing a fast one on her, that voice belong to one of those troublesome girls from the party but which one of them, she doesn't know, she turned slowly. Hi!
Is the troublesome Charyl, Mandy stared at her, is she also a model, all these, are new to her.
Sorry! I will just leave.
Hey relax, I am sorry for the other day, I didn't mean to bully you like that.
It's okay, I am not mad at you.
Are you sure?
Yes, I am really not mad at you, is there a way I could meet Amelia, she invited me?
Oh! She didn't come, her dad send her on a business trip, so sorry about that.
Okay, what about Merlin?
He too is not available, he barely show up, he just leave most of the work for his director, anyways, instead of just leaving, maybe, we should have a cup of coffee together, since it's getting late and Amelia made a reservation for you, should in case, you can't go home.
I don't think...
That means you are still mad at me.
I am not, I just want to...
It's fine, if you are still mad at me. Mandy look at her, she had no choice than to nodded. Fine, let's go and my bad manners, my name is Charyl
I am Mandy!
Alright, shall we?
Mandy walked more into the crowd without informing Bryan, she was right where Bryan could see her but all of a sudden he just couldn't find her
Where did she go? Bryan asked no one but himself, he is using his eyes to search for her then his phone just ring, looking at it, is from Lauren, his heart beat fast, Lauren doesn't call for nothing and he is aware that the call is always about Mandy. Hello sir!
Where are you? That was Lauren first words.
We are at the Cooper's classic models showcase.
Which means you could see her?
Nope!
Lauren stand up from his chair, he is still at the office, Dylan look at him, the man is fixing a file at Lauren office.
What thou fuck did she go for?
Sorry sir, I was watching her closely a few minutes but right now, she left with one of the girls, I think her name is Charyl.
Shit! Lauren drop the phone, he grabbed his keys.
Where are you going?
I think, those silly girls are trying to trapped Mandy.
Did you see...
Dylan, keep your mouth shut, if you want to come fine but don't nag me. He too drop his files and dart behind Lauren, he decided to place a call to Mandy, it's ringing no one is taking it.
As Lauren drive, he press his lips together, he try to control his fear, nothing should happen to Mandy, for some reason, he just felt uneasy, all of a sudden he increase the speed making them beat traffic, Dylan never saw him do that, the man is always law abiding
Lauren finally arrived at the hotel, where the showcase is going on, the man eyes run round everywhere, Harold, who happens to be Merlin director gaze fall on him, he wasn't expecting Lauren of all people to be there.
He takes a few step to Lauren, the man who is already mad, trying Mandy's number, it's not going through anymore, her phone is turned off, her location was dead, he try her tracker but nothing is working, Lauren run his hand on his neck. What is going on?
Sir Lauren! Director Harold called out to Lauren, he turn and his gaze is cold.
