Chapter 15 - Perfect example of fictional character

"Good evening, Miss Veda"

Through out the loud chatting voices and shout, the presenter managed to greet. Holding the microphone for the young woman in front of her who looked exquisite. A warm smile displayed across at the young woman's face brightly. The glitter on her red lips glinted.

Her alluring smoky eyes stared through the camera as flashlight sparkled upon her shiny black silk dress. The dark colored gown complimented her features clearly. Her brown colored hair was parted to the left side as the daimond rings beamed well with black long gloves.

"Hello" Veda responded. Wearing the grin to express her delight in front of the crowd. "You look amazing as always!" Presenter complimented with a smile. Glancing up and down of the young woman's body with affectionate gaze. "Thank you" Veda replied.

Not even lowering her head to reveal shyness like she used to. She confidently bought the praise. The young woman named Veda Amos had become the famous supermodel, Veda Ambrose now. She held fifteen million dollars in her net worth at the moment.

Yes, Veda changed her whole identity to achieve her dream. She switched her car, house and every other thing just to get away from the death penalty. Aria Scarlet and Marianne supported from the side always as well. They did everything they could to help Veda.

They three cooperated.

As result, Veda successfully hid her deepest secret from public and pretended to be the supermodel with spotless background. She stood in one of top supermodels list right now even. There were many celebrities who had a crush on her. Every almost woman envied her.

They all felt unfair to observe the young woman with fifteen million dollars net worth who had a spotless background. Not to mention how Veda was famous among actors and actresses like a gem. She captured every spotlight. And she did it so effortlessly.

Every almost man desired to be with Veda. They all cherished her body and face since that's what they all could see from her. They all wanted her so bad that she gained stalkers even. Veda Ambrose accomplished nearly every dream of hers just in five years. She worked hard.

She worked unceasingly to stand at the spot she was at. Now, there she was. Veda Ambrose was invited to the show which only famous celebrities attended. Even though she was just a supermodel, they invited her to gain attention from public. At the moment, everyone knew her.

Everyone acknowledged who Veda Ambrose was all thanked to the shooting and shows she had attended though out the years. The reason why almost every company was desiring to work with Veda. They all required to cooperate with this eye catching young woman for fame.

They all wanted her.

Aria even got tired from turning many requests down in view of the fact that the young woman had a tight schedule already so that she could not even have six hours sleep. As her manager and friend, Aria did not push her friend that much. Back to the situation right now;

basically, this show invited five top supermodels as guests including Veda Ambrose. "So, I interviewed one of the famous actors to find out who he would like to meet among everyone tonight. And guess what he said!" Presenter raised her tone as the young woman smiled.

Presenter did not shout in a harsh tone though but in a thrilled voice. "I hate guessing game to be honest" Veda disclosed the truth with a soft chuckle to make sure she did not turn the atmosphere around into awkward one. Thankfully, presenter did not take it personally at all.

"He wants you, girl!" the woman apprised in an excited tone. Causing Veda to giggle in amusement. But on her mind, she was cursing out loud in annoyance. Everything must be staged! This presenter was causing a scandal obviously to gain publicity!

"May I know his name?" Veda queried. Still faking a grin upon her face as if she was not offended. "Oh my! Look at her being curious about her secret admirer!" The presenter teased while looking straight into the camera. Causing the young woman to chuckle in frustration.

She had to hold this fury back.

This was what she had been doing anyway. Swallow the exasperation to avoid conflicts and scandals. "Well, you are lucky, girl! Because he is Carlos Dahl, who captured every woman heart easily!" Loudly, presenter declared. Stunning the young woman entirely.

Veda's eyes widened for a few seconds. Did she just mishear? No way. There was no way he was her secret admirer. Carlos Dahl, he was widely known for his villain role in a movie. The way he played the tough heartless man so well, managed to grip onto every woman's heart.

But his real personality was a gentle and sweet one which melted the women's hearts again. He could sing, cook, play guitar and so on. He gained fame and wealth after playing that villain role. He was considered as the perfect example of fictional character.

Some other actresses even confessed their affection for him publicly. However, he did not respond to any admissions. He indirectly rejected them clearly. Now, that fictional character who every woman loved would like to meet Veda Ambrose the most?!

"Maybe, he is searching for a new friend" The young woman smiled. Stepping onto stuffs that could cause scandals. Her response destroyed every misunderstanding. "Well, who knows? Let's find out if they would interact tonight, everyone!" Presenter cut off the interview.

Noticing time was up.

"Thank you, Miss Veda Ambrose!" "Thanks" And like that the young woman walked into the hall. Her eyes detected the whole place. As usual, she made sure she was safe. "Please follow me, Miss Veda Ambrose. I will guide you to seat" The woman approached with a grin.

Earning a beam back as a response from Veda. However, that smile dropped as soon as she reached to the place. Her whole body froze at the sight in front of her. This was unexpected. There was a man sitting right beside her seat as another woman sat on other side.

But the woman did not bother Veda at all. The thing which shocked her was that man on left side. His identity was none other than Carlos Dahl! His ash grey hair looked fluffy yet neat at the same time. The ocean blue eyes gazed back through into Veda's grey hazel eyes.

The brown colored crown brooch on the man's new designed black suit, glittered brightly. "Pleased to meet you! I am Carlos Dahl" As soon as Carlos encountered the young woman, he got up from the seat to introduce himself. Handing his hand out for handshake politely.

The way he acted up right away without hesitating attracted people's attention fully. Especially the cameramen's sight. They all eyed the two quickly in curiosity. Every woman's sweetheart seemed to be thrilled to meet one of top supermodels, Veda Ambrose. 

"Pleasure"

The young woman responded with a sweet smile which she always fake in front of public. She shook hands with the man but took back instantly. "Please take a seat" Veda beckoned. Settling down at her seat along with the man beside. They two quietly sat down side by side.

In silence, Veda clenched her jaw tightly. This award show must have schemed all of these to catch publicity. She could not believe this! Everything was leading her to get into troubles! Scandals she had to pass through was insanely terrible just by thinking about it right now!

Imagine the hatred she was going to get for interacting with a famous actor who most people loved. Fuck! She could not lose her job like this! Through out the whole show, Veda did not start a conversation with Carlos Dahl. He did not approach as well. They two just sat quietly.

Even when Carlos won the best actor award in the end, Veda applauded with a slight smile to appear as others. She did not want to seem like a proud girlfriend. The public could make it turn into sweet moments and attract scandals. She had to be careful with her behavior.

"Thank you, everyone. I appreciate every each love you give.." Carlos commenced his speech. After that he continued for nearly a minute. "Thank you.." He bowed. Making everyone believed he had finished his speech. However, unexpected twist occurred which shocked them.

"Also..."

Carlos grinned. His eyes landed on the young woman among the crowd. It was obvious enough for everyone to look at the way he was staring at. There she was. Veda Ambrose sitting in perplexity. She put on a smile still though. But had no clue what was happening.

Why did that man eye on her out of blue as if he had something to disclose? "I would like to celebrate this success with the ones I cherish tonight! Thank you! I love you!" Carlos confessed as a grin tugged at his lips. The affection displayed in his intense gaze clearly.

Maintaining the eye contact with Veda from above the stage. It was the moment all the camera and others started to focus on the young woman. 'Fuck, that man literally dragged me into problems' Veda cursed inside her mind. Wearing a forced smile still though.

'Carlos, why are you doing this?!'
