"miss Gisele you're right on time" Mr Collins stood up and greeted Gisele as she walked into his office. The group of people he was with turned to look at the girl who could amount such respect from him. He were struck by what they saw. Not only was she mega beautiful but there was also a Noble air surrounding her.
"Mr Collins, I hope I am not too early? I was afraid of being held down so I left a bit early" She replied back with a smile. They all thought she was talking about the traffic, little did they know.
"No no" he shook his head "I was about to put a call through to you. Please can you wait a few minutes while I round up things here"
Gisele agreed. She was led away by his secretary to a private lounge to wait for him. Gisele got busy with her phone as she waited. For precaution purposes she had turned her sim off when she left the house, she didn't want to give Devon the chance of tracking her phone and finding her whereabouts. Now that she was cut from the internet, all she could do was fiddle about with her phone, playing games and watching movies she had pre downloaded. She was getting ready for her role in Mr Williams movie so she spent any of her spare seconds watching movies to help broaden her knowledge on what fans would expect from her character.
She didn't have to wait long. Soon Mr Collins was done with his meeting and came to meet her. A minivan was already waiting at the entrance to convey both them and their equipment to the location that was chosen for the shoot.
"This way Miss Gisele" Gisele followed him and they drove off.
Eventually they got to the location. The small crew he had brought along helped set the props in place and Gisele began her fittings and make up.
The first picture on the mother's first time concept. It was clearly stated that every photo shoot should not have any adverse prop, editing or personnels, so using things like children and the likes in this picture was unacceptable. For this main reason Gisele had come up with an other idea. Every first time mother had one thing in common; the way they dressed.
There were always pamphlet and magazine at the hospital telling first time mother how to dress and what to eat, things to do and all sorts of things. So if she could project all these things appropriately, she would just be able to look like someone who was pregnant for the first time without having to look ar her stomach or indirectly pointing to it.
For her dressing she choose a set of thick layered clothing, one could see at the first glance that the clothes were meant to bring warmth to her stomach region. It gave a sense that she was trying to protect something there. Then she was standing in front of a grocery store. Fresh vegetables lined up in front of here and a gentle smile on her lip and a piece of paper in her hand that one would miss if you didn't look well. On it looked like something she had scribbled listening to someone speak. Something every first time mother had a common, visiting the hospital on random to ask what to eat and what she shouldn't, also how to eat what should be eaten. Every item listed on the piece of paper were a precious item to first time mothers. Then there was also that one and half inch heels that loudly spoke 'i am a pregnant mother'
With Mr Collins photographic skills, the picture was taken in such a way that the details weren't obvious upfront but they couldn't be ignored too. There was no way one wouldn't get the idea of what she was representing.
When that picture was done, they moved to the next, the banished consort and then the rest. Like the first concept. Gisele's interpretation skills were spot on. Not to obvious but in a way that you couldn't help but agree she looked like that concept in the end. For the last concept; the CEO kept woman she didn't need to think much on how to represent it, she was just being herself, after all wasn't she also a CEO's kept wife.
Only those with real fashion sense would understand. A rare edition watch that looked shabby but might actually cost more than some people's house. A brandless set of clothing that was actually custom made by the most famous brand ever. A pair of shoes that looked normal but only existed in two pairs in the whole world and a necklace worn by the first female consort in history. All she needed was to shroud all these with a cleaners apron and her dressing was complete. Most of the clothes were just an imitation of the real thing but still they passed the message across.
"Thank you everyone" Gisele greeted the crew as they finally finished all the shoots. Everybody had been unusually cooperative with her and for that she was very thankful.
"We should be the one thanking you Miss Gisele, you've allowed us witness a whole new realm of modelling" Mr Collins complimented. He was more than satisfied with the pictures he had taken, even if all the shoots had cost him the whole day, it was more than worth it. Especially since he had also been able to take shots for the Face of Glamour. Every picture was so perfect he felt very regretful sending them to someone else and he knows his crew felt like that too. In a way it also confirmed she had a 100% chance of winning the audition.
Gisele smiled politely "Mr Collins flatters me too much. It's all because of your expertise that it turned out fine."
"miss Gisele is being too polite" Mr Collins commented.
The skies were already turning dark, she was few hours away from when she and aunty Claudia were supposed to meet so she had to leave. She bade goodbye to the crew and pleaded with Mr Collins to help send the pictures to the audition platform on her behalf since he still had a few things to do on them then she left the them.
First she took a stroll to the nearest phone booth and called Aunty Claudia using their public phone. The line rang for quite a bit then someone picked it up.
"Hello?" Aunty Claudia answered the call.
"Aunty it's me" The moment she heard the voice on the phone, she didn't need to be told who it was.
"Xiao G!" She sprang up to her feet and exclaim excitedly. All the ladies she was with at the moment looked at her with surprise in their eyes but Claudia didn't seem to mind. She had been calling the girl's line all day but it kept saying the line was switched off. She was very worried, even worried when she found out she didn't have the number of any of the girl's family to call and check on her.
"Where have you been?! I've been trying your number all day long? And wait... Why are you using a public phone to call me?" She asked in a hurry.
Gisele smiled and explained "My phone is in a bit of a situation so I can only call you through this. Sorry for getting you worried"
"It's okay dear. Where are you? Are you done with your schedule?" She remembered the girl said she had a bit of things to do today. It was a couple of more hours till the party started.
"Yes I'm through at my end, Aunty requested we go shopping before the party. Is Aunty free at the moment?" She had not brought any cloth with her out of Easton Villa so she really needed the shopping if she was going to attend a formal party. She surely could not go there looking stupid.
Claudia felt regretful. She glanced at the women seated in the various chairs around her and could only heave regretful "Sorry darling. Aunty is a bit too tied up to accompany you go shopping but don't worry I left instructions for you already at the mall. So tell me your location and I'll send my girl to accompany you. Make sure you don't say no to my reservations okay?"
Gisele laughed "Yes Aunty" she could already imagine all the high class things the woman had laid down for her already. Surely she wouldn't refuse.
She gave Claudia her location and then they exchanged a few more words, Claudia had a list of instructions she wanted Gisele to keep. Like:
'Don't say no to my pickup limousine'
'Come find me the moment you get to the party ground'
'i won't allow you get stolen from me'
'Don't feel pressured, you'll be with me'
'if anyone is rude to you, tell me immediately!'
Gisele could only nod and agree to all of them, albeit with a warm smile on her lips. The woman really acted like her mother sometimes. With the call ended. She would only wait to be picked up by the people designated to her but before that... Why don't she make one last call.
