Chapter 152: More Beautiful Than Many Models I Dated

Erik left the restaurant around 11:00pm. He was drunk and Marlon took him back to the Penthouse. He was alone so he wanted to sleep right away and it was why he got drunk.

He hesitated whether to call Amaya or not. It was too late and she might already be asleep. He did not want to disturb her.

He replied to her message. ’I am home now. I don’t want to disturb you. Let’s talk tomorrow.’

...

The following morning Aryana woke at 6:00am. She called Elaine and Amy to wake them up. She wore the off white ruched mini dress and paired it with an off white tong sandals. The three ladies met at the elevator but they did not go straight to the restaurant.

They passed by the pool area and Aryana asked Elaine to take photos of her. She showed the different angles of her dress. "Help me select which ones looked good."

Aryana flicked through the photos in her gallery and after a short time the three of them agreed on the ones that Amaya will post in her moments. She captioned the photos. ’Coming soon! Cool and chic dresses for your outfit of the day. Hit the heart icon if you are interested to order this dress.’

Aryana applied for a patent on behalf of Vince on the three designs that she asked Rex to make a sample of. This was to make sure that his designs will not be imitated or plagiarized.

She had also sent an email to Mu Feng giving him a heads up that she will be promoting a local brand but she will still continue to showcase the ones that he will be sending her to give people more options. She did not want to destroy the relationship she had with the Mu siblings.

"Wow Aryana. It is only five minutes and you already have five thousand likes." Elaine excitedly showed her cellphone to Aryana.

"I hope more people will share and like it."

"I finally get to have a glimpse of you." An excited voice startled the three ladies.

A man in his early twenties with nose earrings and studs lining up his earlobes suddenly appeared in front of Aryana and tried to block her way.

"Can I have your autograph?" The man shoved a notebook to Aryana. She scanned him from head to toe and Aryana shivered to see that his arms and neck were filled with tattoos. She accepted the pen he offered and signed on the notebook.

"Excuse us, we are in a hurry." Amy tried to sound respectful. He seemed to be Aryana’s fan.

The man moved to the side and let them pass. His gaze remained focused on Aryana’s face and it lingered on back until the trio disappeared from his line of sight when they entered the elevator. Before the elevator door can close, a hand reached out from the outside and blocked it. A tall, burly man wearing a navy blue baseball cap joined them in the elevator.

"I don’t have a good feeling about the man." Amy shared her thought.

"Me too. He looks like he is up to something." Elaine agreed.

"We have the same observation." Aryana said softly. She stole glances at the man with the baseball cap. He was the same man they shared an elevator ride last night and he was staying at the same floor as theirs.

"You ladies are on your way to breakfast?" He started a conversation.

"Yes." Elaine responded. Elaine was an amiable person. She was an extrovert and the type who would strike a conversation with a stranger.

"What luck. I am also on my way to breakfast. Can I share a table with you guys?" He looked at Elaine with expectation in his eyes. He caught Aryana sneakily gazing at him and he knew she was suspicious so he needed to dispel her suspicion.

Elaine looked at the two ladies beside her and she was asking for their help but they were ignoring her on purpose.

The man chuckled. "It is alright. I understand that you are wary of strangers. Do not pressure yourself too much."

When they arrived at the 2nd floor where the buffet restaurant was, the man held the elevator for them and he kept a distance from them.

Aryana was walking around trying to decide what to have for breakfast.

"It is difficult to decide when there are a lot of choices right?" Clark spoke beside her.

Aryana gigled. "Right. Are you done selecting?" She glanced at his plate and noted that he only has some bread on it.

Aryana decided to have an American breakfast and some fruit. Clark opted to have the same as hers.

"Care to join me in my table? Your agent and your assistant can eat together."

Aryana of course cannot reject him. She sent signals to Elaine and Amy with her mouth and obediently followed Clark to his table.

"Have you met with the project sponsors?" Aryana started the conversation.

"Yes. They went to a bar last night and met them there. They had too much to drink and they probably are still asleep now."

"What time is the photoshoot?"

"We will meet at the lobby at 7:30am and leave for the venue at 7:45am. We will be shooting at the Rolling Hills." Amaya checked her watch and it was almost 7:00am.

"You don’t have much time left."

She quickly finished her breakfast and went back to her room to freshen up. She met Amy and Elaine at the lobby along with the other crew members for the photo shoot.

"We meet again Aryana." Antonio approached her and extended his hand for a handshake.

"How have you been Antonio? Long time no see." Aryana thought that she will be shooting by herself. Why is Antonio here? "Are we doing a scene together?" She arched her eyebrows?

"No. We are doing separate shoots but on the same venue."

’That’s good.’ Aryana thought to herself.

All the crew members boarded the bus. Aryana, Elaine and Amy boarded a separate van along with the make up artist and stylist.

Just as when the van was about to leave someone called for Aryana. "Miss Jones you are requested to join the project sponsors in the car in front."

Aryana looked baffled but she followed the woman who escorted her to a Mercedes Benz luxury van in front.

When Aryana get into the car, she was surprised to find there was only Clark there.

"Let us wait for a while. The sponsors would like to meet you and Antonio."

Clark gestured for Aryana to sit beside him. Soon after, Antonio with the director joined them. After waiting for a few more minutes, two Americans who were in their late twenties entered the car.

"Good morning Mr. Reeves, Mr. Winds, this is Antonio Lopez and Aryana Jones. They are the models for today’s photo shoot. Mr. Reeves is the Marketing Director of the Reeves Corporation and Mr. Winds is his assistant." Clark introduced the two foreigners to Antonio and Aryana.

Aryana extended her hands for a handshake. Mr. Reeves raised it to his lips and kissed it. Aryana blushed.

’This damn foreigners. Why do they have to take advantage of a handshake.’ Aryana gently pulled her hand away without acting too offensive.

"You did a great job in selecting the models for this collaboration Clark. By the way you all can call me John and drop the formality." John said in his thick accent. Antonio has a hard time understanding.

"Let’s get to business. Has the director briefed you on what we want to achieve today?" John inquired.

The director cleared his throat. "I am just about to discuss the details with them though I sent the script in advance."

"You can start discussing now." John put an earbud on his ear and closed his eyes. Looked like he was still tired.

The director explained the scenes to Aryana and Antonio. They we will be photographed separately. But there might be also a chance that both models will be photographed together as they showcase the spring jewelry series and the latest cell phone model released by Reeves corporation.

They arrived at the site after an hour. Aryana was feeling nostalgic. She was seeing an endless greenery. She remembered her home at Green Heights though Batan was more beautiful with a breath taking view of the blue seas beyond the rolling hills.

Antonio and Aryana went to their assigned van. The make up artist did not waste time. She did her magic and transform Aryana to an even more beautiful, classy and elegant woman. She wore a white dress with flowing skirt that stopped a little lower than her knees. The stylist placed a straw hat to her head. Her hair was left to freely fall on her back.

The cameras were already set up when Aryana left the van. She wore the wrist watch and she was made to lie down on the grass, her right hand was placed on her chest showing off the watch.

The stylist carefully arranged her dress and her hair and the photographers started clicking their cameras.

"Perfect!" The director happily declared. One scene was completed in just one take. He let John review the scene and he nodded signifying his approval.

John eyed Aryana with interest. ’What a beautiful woman! She is more beautiful than many models and actresses that I dated in the US.’
