Hi, again, I'm Diana Mignonette Hadley, a model and a baker who broke up with a "famous" basketball player whom I caught cheating with my fellow model. "Famous." If you're one of these, you must properly handle yourself knowing things may worsen if you did something wrong. I never do anything, except the mixer that I used in the previous competition got broken. But when you did something with your personal life? Then you might make an apology video/post from what you did. It's (maybe) not my fault our relationship is getting colder, I forgive him for cheating 2 times! That's why I was kind of calm when I confront him with Daisy.
And, yeah, things went viral the next day. As a result, you should be cautious with your popularity.
*DING!*
- MESSAGES – (The best cookie baker in the world!)
Eric: Hey, I just saw a lot of news about you, Brian, and Daisy. Are you okay there?
Diana: Yes, I'm fine. Social media is really fast nowadays
Eric: At the very least, you didn't do anything wrong. He started it, and now when you want to work it out, he just ignores you and claims to be "busy." Then everything went back to you, and you were colder with him, I mean you two, but... I know you're aware he's faking it since you're the reason he's become more well-known.
Diana: You mean he now wants me back because his "popularity" comes from me? I'm I right???
Eric: Yeah, something like that. But anyways, remember Kylie?
Diana: Yeah, what about her?
Eric: She listed 7 of Brian's girlfriends he joined with you. Imagine, you've been in a year and he had a year with his 7 girls too. These are also models from other countries. What's the matter with this guy???
Diana: What?! He had 7 girls with me?! He has no chill, bro! I mean, how can I be fooled, when he's acting like he has no other girls? And also… text plainly, please…
Eric: That's what cheaters do, Diana. Can I come over? I have chicken and some beer
Diana: Yeah, sure! Just straight ahead to my room. I need that one! You're the best!
Eric: Okay, see you upstairs!
AT DIANA'S ROOM
*KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK!*
"Please enter!" I shouted in my bed. Eric entered the room, carrying chicken and drinks. We discussed the rumors surrounding my relationship with Brian. After the three opportunities, I never had another chat about myself. Allison then entered my room, leading her to believe that we had "done" something.
"And now I'm seeing the two of you sitting on the bed? What's the tea?" Allison asked. Allison sat in between me and Eric and it made us chuckled.
"We were talking about the 3 of them and also Kylie," Eric said.
"Kylie? Do you mean the Kylie from 2 years ago? What about her?" Allison asked.
"You haven't seen what Kylie just post? You are the Queen of rumors around Twitter, how can you not know about it?" Eric asked. Allison is some kind of Queen when it comes to rumors, she knows everything compared to cooking. She can't even memorize or remember a single recipe that she always needs the cookbook! I mean, that's also me but she does it all the time.
"I'm the Queen, okay? Of course, I know! I was just playing. And yes, it's a lot. Playing 8 girls' hearts in a year and they're FAMOUS!" Allison said. Not gonna lie, she's right.
"The girls replied to Kylie's post and I think Brian's losing it," Eric said.
"Yeah, he even got kicked out of the varsity team because he dated his coach and senior's daughters and even took some of the girls' money," Allison said. Whoa, that's too much.
"He got kicked out?! And he took money?! Isn't that eligible for him to go to jail? I mean, that's too much!" I said.
"I know, so who's the original? I mean who's the first one?" Eric asked.
"Well, I found a post just posted right now saying: So is someone going to tell me who Brian got first? @thebakermodel_diana @daisyyy @briansmith? And @iamkyliee are you going to post some order?" Allison said.
I remarked, "She even mentioned me, this is…"
"Crazy?" Eric asked.
"Unbelievable? Too much? Tough?" Allison asked.
"Some of them…" I said.
"Come here…" Eric said. They both embraced me gently; social media is really crazy, and there are rumors everywhere. But I'm glad that I have them who supported me in other ways…I'm so lucky, what would I do without them?
"Should we go downstairs? It's getting cold in here" Allison asked. We then went to the living room and when Eric turned on the TV…
Just now, a news reporter stated, "Just in: After a year and a half together, famous model and baker Diana Hadley and ex-Fallon team player Brian Smith split up yesterday. Kylie Haley, Brian's ex, recently shared a list of Brian's girlfriends when he was dating Diana. Some Twitter users argue that having eight girlfriends at the same time is excessive, then having them for the sake of fame. Brian had two pregnancies with two of the females he dated. But Diana isn't one of them... Brian, congrats! You're going to be a parent... Miss Diana, if you're viewing this, I'm so sorry, I hope you're okay. Merry Christmas! ".
"Brian is now a father?!" Allison said. I was trembling after I heard what the news reporter just said. The final chapter has not yet been written. I don't know what I might come through this journey ahead of me.
ERIC'S POV
Diana passed out after hearing what the reporter said, but she hit her head on the countertop by accident because she was standing next to it. Diana was taken to the hospital for two reasons: she had passed out and her head had been hit on the counter. What caused this to occur during the Christmas season? All I want to do now is smack Brian across the face.
When we arrived at the hospital, doctors and nurses surrounded Diana and escorted her to the emergency room. I'm hoping they weren't tweeting about what happened to Diana. I then called Diana's modeling agency to tell them what had happened and to ask that the shoot be halted until she recovered; this was far too much.
A WEEK LATER…
"Miss Diana can now go home," The nurse said. We're now at Diana's room and now we're taking Diana home, Hannah went home yesterday, and now it's Diana's time to go home too.
"At long last, I can go home!" When we get there, I'm going to take care of the shop and start scheduling my left shootings," Diana said. She's gone for a week and Diana is a person who never stops to work especially that now she's getting well.
"Nope, you're going to work tomorrow, not today," Allison said.
"NO! I'm going to work today!" Diana said. See I told you! She doesn't want people to have nothing to do while she's sick, I mean like 100 degrees?
We went home with Diana and didn't go to work, so Allison, Diana's P.A. (of course), scheduled her shooting appointments tomorrow, so she's really busy this week.
TOMORROW MORNING
DIANA'S POV
6:38 in the morning when I realized… IT'S TWO WEEKS BEFORE CHRISTMAS?! Did I just have my one week in the hospital? My head really hurts when I got hit on the countertop, 8 girls in a year… how fool I am.
Eric gave me a ride to work because he's worried that if my head hurts again, I'll pass out; after all, that's what friends are for, right? My table was laden with fresh flowers, chocolates, pastries, cakes, and gifts from my friends, the modeling agency, and, of course, the company for which I modeled.
"Is your head okay for today's shooting?" Stacy, one of the staff asked. I nodded.
She came with me to the dressing room, which was located between my room and the studio. When I entered, everyone was ecstatic to see me; the crew and employees began to hug me and question how I feel... My Twitter notifications were blowing up with tons of mentions after 10 minutes of the shooting since some paparazzi shared a photo of me arriving here...
"I just saw @thebakermodel_diana heading inside the @cookingmasterpiece building with a GUY?!"
As I read on the post, most of the comments are asking who that guy was… I guess we'll be on news today.
*DING!*
- MESSAGES -
Eric: Diana…
Diana: You saw it, right?
Eric: Yeah, I should have let Allison drive you instead of giving you a ride today... Later, we'll be on the news.
Diana: Hey, it's okay. Everyone knows you; we'll just simply tell them that it's you
Eric: But what if they won't believe?
Diana: What do you mean what if? How could I be with a guy after that "BREAKUP"? I don't move on that fast, Eric. I mean, I'm not like that.
Eric: I know, it's just… it doesn't mean you are popular, people will trust you that easily
Diana: I know what you mean Eric; you don't want to make this bigger. A simple clarification will be okay. Leave it all to me. Do you trust me?
Eric: Yes. Of course, I trust you, Diana
Diana: Good. Now stop worrying about it.
Eric: Okay. I'm going back; the store's blowing up right now
Diana: Okay, good luck!
Eric: You too
-end-
AT THE STUDIO
"Okay, now let's make a video! Din, read that script, and then we'll take five." Quinn, the producer of the contest said.
As I read the script, I didn't know that there will be a special guest coming… Who could that be?
"Okay, you ready Miss Minnie?" Quinn asked. She calls me Minmin, Mia, Din, Yan, Ana, and now Minnie.
"Quinn, can you just pick one?" I asked.
"No. Now go at the kitchen studio and start rolling." She replied. I shouldn't have told her in the middle of this… things are quite busy here.
Quinn counted, "In five… four… three… two… one… ACTION!"
"Greetings, bakers! My name is Diana Hadley, and I, too, am a baker! And now that Christmas is approaching, our baking abilities are showing! So, on Christmas Eve, December 24, Cooking Masterpiece will host a Christmas Baking Contest, which will be sponsored by a well-known baking company in the United Kingdom! The auditions will be held on December 20 at the Cooking Masterpiece building; join us now because a very special guest will be there, and you will have the opportunity to visit a famous location in the United Kingdom because the contest will be held in Edinburgh, Scotland, UK! Good luck, fellow bakers! See you there!" I said.
Quinn told me who the special visitor would be, and she replied Sherry Jane Virtudes! She's a well-known actress, a CEO, and a four-star chef! I admire her because of how good she is in her films... I even visited all four of her restaurants in the United Kingdom and Los Angeles. It's a little pricey, but it's well worth it!
"Sherry?! As in Sherry Virtudes?! Why didn't you tell me? I really love her!" I said.
"Yes! She called us yesterday and heard about the upcoming contest since Frank told her about it, and she wants to be the special guest and one of the Judges." Quinn said.
"Oh, I'm going to faint when I saw her," I said.
"Diana, you're going to be the host of the contest!" Quinn said.
"But what if I want to join?" I asked.
"Then Kylie or your sister, Anne will host. Why, do you want to join?" Quinn asked.
"I'm not sure about that…" I replied.
"It would be good if you participated; Frank stated that other well-known bakers will participate in the competition. You've also become more well-known since you and Eric consistently win the title, breaking Charli and Finn's streak of victories!" Quinn remarked.
"But the auditions haven't started yet..." I said.
Quinn grinned and winked at me, I guess the people who auditioned can't join the competition… or there will be a lot of them which I think are fun. Well, as they all say, the more the merrier!
AT THE SHOP
I still go straight to our Bakery Shop after my shoot. Since Anne, Eric, Allison, Mom, and Dad were around; I informed all of them about the upcoming contest. When I told them that Sherry will be the special guest, they were all stunned; the store was closed, of course, and I couldn't just say that with customers hearing everything… My own family is a different story.
