It was her last day of training so she had to meet the rest of the models in the company. She left early in the morning leaving Arthur still in bed.
The staff that knew her greeted her with smiles, She entered into the room the organizer directed her into, expecting to be welcomed by the rest. She was only greeted with stares and sneers from them. They all looked like professionals but bullies which scared her more. She moved to her seat and kept silent.
"I heard she slept with one of the sponsors to get a place in the contest " Rose heard someone say in the back.
"She is really beautiful more than most of us. But at least we still hold our dignity " another said.
Rose was confused at the sudden conversation she heard. Who had already started such a disgusting story about her? She turned around and glanced behind her silencing them.
They got quieter when another model came in, she had the most beautiful lips Rose had ever seen. Her posture showed arrogance and confidence. She walked to her seat which was at the front and isolated from the rest.
Rose heard the gossipers say, "Well the bitch arrived hope it starts soon "
Rose stared at the so called bitch, her name tag had her name.
"Yvette " she read the name on her tag.
Everything went smoothly for Rose until all the attention was diverted from Yvette to her.
She had been doing everything she was taught by the coach Arthur had got her. The organizers and the rest of the models were impressed at how she moved her body and poses.
She had a very nice figure which she used to her advantage.
Yvette soon made her move on Rose. She walked to her after her photoshoot and whispered.
"If you think you going to come out of nowhere and destroy my work then prepare your demise. Cause I crush everything that gets in my way " after which she walked away.
Rose watched her moved away from here with a smile on her face. The rest for the first time come near her and said.
"It seems you got on her bad side already " Rose looked at them and then at Yvette's disappearing figure and let out a sigh.
She got back to the hotel exhausted. Arthur was busy on his laptop so she took a shower.
And after joining him for dinner that had just been delivered.
"How was your day?" he asked.
"Weird and wonderful " she answered
After she told him all that happened at the company Arthur frowned.
"Why don't I just tell them to treat you better and keep you away from that psycho" Arthur said.
"She is not a psycho and you do not tell anyone anything. If I attract more attention they will think I slept my way into the contest which isn't technically wrong since my husband is the owner of the company "
"Your my wife giving you full rights to everything I own so it's your company too. And if she or the rest do anything to hurt you, I won't let..." Rose kissed him before he could finish what he was saying.
"Don't worry about me and let me handle it by myself. You should listen to Sean and return home tomorrow since he needs you back " Rose said after letting go of his lips.
"But then I will be more worried about you " Arthur hugged her.
"Arthur we might have our life together but we have our son and the company. We need to take care of them too. Our son hasn't seen us for a while and Sean needs you too. So you should go back I will be fine " She assured him.
"You're still lacking experience in this industry that is afraid they will hurt you "
"They can't hurt me unless I let them do it. I might be new to it but am willing to learn and adapt to it so don't worry but if anything happens I will call you right away " she promised him.
Arthur wanted to object but he didn't want to make her feel less confident. Ever since she woke up Rose had been trying all the things she always wanted to do. He was surprised when she wanted to try modeling but he still supported her.
But it was an industry that wasn't as easy as she thought. He knew Yvette, she was one of his company's best models. she won every contest and still held the company contract since she debuted as a model.
It wasn't that they didn't find others but Yvette was a cold self-centered bitch who made sure to stay at the top no matter what. She had done crazy things to most of her competitors. Arthur and the staff knew but didn't care since she did her work so well for them to complain.
But now she had set her eyes on another prey which was Rose, It made Arthur more worried since he knew Rose would fight back if she was attacked.
And if he tried to help it will make Rose either angry or hated.
He looked at her flawless face and smiled. If Yvette dared hurt her she would face the same fate as all the rest of Rose's harassers. Rose didn't want any help from him anymore but he wasn't willing to let her go without his protection. His shadow was going to follow her and protect her from the dark.
The next morning Rose escorted him to the airport where he unwilling to left after Rose convinced him.
She walked out of the airport heading to the car, her driver opened h the door for her.
But inside was already someone waiting for her.
"HARRY?!...what are you doing here?"
Harry laughed, " Your husband after a lot of debating with himself, called me and gave me strict instructions on how to protect you "
"But...I thought he didn't trust you?"
"That's what I thought too but he must have changed his mind since he called me himself," said Harry.
Rose laughed wondering how Arthur felt calling Harry to protect her.
"He told me to keep a close eye on you and protect you. Not to get too close to you and call him every single day to tell him about your activities "
Rise laughed even harder, Arthur was really worried about leaving her alone again. Nathan's incidence had left a scar on his heart that he did want to leave her unprotected.
"Okay, I won't oppose to that since it will bring him peace. Let go to the company and get my outfits ready. " Said, Rose.
