Esther's POV
Finally! I signed a contract with a new model. The last model we had messed up alot and in the end we cancelled the contract and what does she take me for? I ruined her entire career for messing with me. She will never be able to show her face in any ads from now on.
This product is really important to us so I decided to supervise everything myself. I went to the shooting location. Actually it's done in our studio. They decided to create a 'desert' background and I really should say that this new model is really doing good. To be true, he is the best model I have ever hired.
He is really working hard for the ad. Our director is a really strict one he makes the models act the same scene for atleast 10 times and the previous models created trouble during shooting cause of this. But he never complained and worked more hard.
After shooting some scenes he went to sit on a chair for a 10 minutes break. I went near him and said
"Good work! I appreciate your passion and hard work."and after hearing this everyone was shocked cause I rarely compliment others.
"Thank you madam" he replied.
Then I went back to my home. Well, it's no longer a home, we call a building home when we have a family to make good memories with. I live here alone and there are two mades, one for cooking and on for cleaning. With my wealth I could hire as much as maids I wanted but I don't like that. One of the maids,
Aunt Evelyn stay here with me even at night as I once asked her if she wanted to stay with me. She also lost her family and I also wanted someone to accompany me, so we accompany each other. She is a lovely lady in her 50s. She is in charge of cooking. She treats me like her own child and I treat her like my own mother. If she was not in my life then … I couldn't even think about it. She makes my dinner time amusing with her jokes and funny stories.
I have an Video conference to attend today so I went directly to my room and attended the conference and ofcourse I cracked the deal. They will come to my office after a week for signing the contract. It was 8pm when I completed my work and decided to take a shower before dinner.
After coming from shower I took my phone and the date caught my eye … Its my mom's death day. How could I forget today? When I caused it all!
Tears started falling from my eyes and suddenly I couldn't breath. My vision started getting blurred and I fell down. I started crawling towards my drawer and took my inhaler.
I have been getting panick attacks since my mom's death. I didn't had it for a long time but now…
I went downstairs and Aunt Evelyn was serving dinner. She smiled seeing me and said
"Good that you came now, I was coming to call you."
I suddenly ran to her and hugged her from behind and started crying as I couldn't handle it anymore. She was shocked by sudden action but silently patted my head which was resting on her shoulder. I rubbed away my tears and asked-
"May I call you mom?"
