"Wow..."
The spectators applauded in awe over the scene of Veda Ambrose flipping her hair across the camera once she reached to the end of catwalk. Almost everyone was drawn into the beauty of one of top supermodels. Who could resist this kind of allure from Veda Ambrose?
The way designer's dress suited her perfect fine body, the way smoky makeup embraced her face into a glamorous one, the way high heels stepped onto stage in sync caught everyone's attention fully. It was no wonder Veda stood above others. She truly was one of the kind.
Everything about her was flawless. There was not even a fault to point out. She was trained really well. She really deserved the top place. While Veda turned back to return, her eyes locked with the ocean blue eyes. Those attractive eyes formed into a shape of moon crescent instantly.
Carlos Dahl, the so called perfect example of fictional character had appeared to the fashion show of widely known designer. He looked hot as always. But the mysterious and fetching appearance promptly displaced with lovable aura as soon as he beamed to the young woman.
Yet, Veda did not respond.
She was in the middle of walk. All knew how a model had to keep a straight ass serious face at every fashion show no matter what. Due to the fact, guilt melted in the gaze of the young woman for a second to reveal she felt bad to ignore this gorgeous man, Carlos Dahl.
Still, she carried her job and finished the walk. After that, she dashed to backstage. The part of hers had ended already. She had done her roles in this fashion show. Now, she could rest well behind the stage. "Miss Veda Ambrose, we will have an interview after the show!"
"There will be an interview-" At the same exact time, show coordinator and Aria informed. However, the instructor took lead and cut Aria off ruthlessly. Completely angering her. "Why the fuck is she taking my part always?" With brows pulled together across her face, Aria grumbled.
Shooting death glare towards the woman who had walked away from the place already. "Relax, she must be into her character too much" Veda joked. "People here are always like that" Through the chaotic sound, Celeste Baron apprised. It was when Veda's eyes shifted to side.
"Kid! Where did you appear from?"
Out of disbelief, the young woman queried. Because of the fact that she was getting her makeup and dress off by four people from each side, she failed ot notice the seven years old boy standing beside Aria the whole entire time since the very beginning. "I have been here"
Celeste responded with a disappointed expression. Only to make the young woman smiled awkwardly. "Also, I am not kid. I have a name. It is Celeste Baron" the boy added up. Causing Veda to let out a chuckle in amusement. He acted like a mature man a lot.
But it was adorable of him in fact. "Got it, Mister Celeste Baron" Veda addressed as a joke. The way she did not mind the strange yet cold personality of him, hushed down Celeste for some moment. These two women resembled when they maintained conversation with him.
Unlike some people he had bumped into, these two pretty best friends did not take anything to their hearts. Instead, they laughed it off and joked around even as if it was fun to chat with him. "Little boy, you eyes are dripping honey" From the side, Aria alerted and patted his head.
Only to discomfit Celeste.
Promptly enough, he looked away from Veda. Pretending as if he did not just admire the two pretty best friends for reacting to him in a way he had been craving to get. "Aria, you should stop" Veda cautioned at the sight. "What? I am not making him feel ill at ease. Not even a bit"
Shrugging with hands in her jeans pockets, Aria denied. It was when the young woman stared up at her with a disappointed expression. "Come on! It is fun to tease this kid" At last, Aria gave up. Admitting how she relished whenever Celeste blushed in embarrassment.
"I can relate to be honest" In a low tone, Veda confessed. "See? Come here, kid. We are just messing with you. At least, you are having fun like us too!" Wrapping her arm around the shoulder of the boy, Aria dragged him onto her. Causing him to furrow his brows in an instant.
"Let me go, Miss. I am suing you for real if you don't" Out of discomfort, Celeste threatened. Completely stunning Veda while Aria laughed out loud in entertainment. "This is the fifth time you have tried to sue me, kid. I am scared!" she chuckled. Leaving Veda in pure shock.
Aria truly was having fun.
"Um, Miss Veda Ambrose, someone asked to meet you at the parking lot when you are done with stuffs" Out of the blue, the woman approached along with information. Capturing the three attention. "Is it a journalist or fan?" Veda queried instead of nodding right away as a response.
"He is Carlos Dahl, Miss" Straight up admission managed to surprise the young woman wholly as Aria's eyes widened. Meanwhile, the four stylists who were doing their jobs on the young woman from side, glanced at each other upon the shocking news. "Carlos Dahl?!"
Aria raised her tone. Startling the woman who came to report. "He is here?!" Aria questioned in disbelief. "Thank you for apprising" Instead of giving a reply to her best friend, Veda expressed gratitude to the woman and made her walk away. "It is done, Miss" the stylists stated.
"You have done well. I appreciate your help" Standing up from the chair, Veda patted the shoulders of the four stylists with a grin tugged at her lips. Completely ignoring her best friend who was processing the situation. Celeste Baron was in the middle of loading as well.
"I will be back"
Without any answers, Veda assured and faced Aria. The young woman had changed into the new fit and another makeup style for upcoming interview in an hour. "You have yet to give answer to my damn query" Aria's eyes flashed with hint of fury. Revealing the displeasement.
It was the moment, Veda let out a sigh in exhaustion. "Yes. He is here. I have no idea why though. But I guess he wants an explanation of that night now" She stated the conclusion while Aria scowled. "It is going to be tough if you get involved with him in scandals, you know"
Aria warned indirectly. "I am aware. We will never get tangled into a rumor. I am always careful with my surrounding" Veda affirmed before leaving from the place in hurry. "Is it her boyfriend?" When she left, the boy asked out of curiosity. "No, they are just friends at the moment"
The response from Aria confused Celeste. She sounded as if Carlos and Veda were just friends at the start for now, but were going to be in love soon after. "Are they going to date?" Celeste questioned again. Holding the eye contact. "I have no clue to be honest" Aria shrugged.
"Hey!"
At the sight of Veda walking out of building, the man waved with his signature gorgeous smile. "Hello!" As she reached near to him, Veda bowed slightly to express respect. But it appeared as if she drew the line between them. Making Carlos's smile dropped for some seconds.
"Come inside. Paparazzi might be around" Still, he managed to beam once again. He invited the young woman into his Ferrari. Not knowing how it hesitated Veda. Her brain proceeded the situation as the body froze in puzzlement. "Oh! I am sorry! I did not mean with bad intention!"
Quickly enough, Carlos realized what he had done. He apologized. "I am so sorry, Veda. I meant to shield your reputation from public. As so you know, it can affect your career if some capture the moment of you meeting up with me at parking lot" Awkwardly, he detailed the reason.
His voice slightly shook in fright. But it made the young woman smile in the end. "I get what you mean. I was just surprised at first" Veda laughed it off like nothing. Relieving the man. And like that they two got into Ferrari to chat in private. "So, what is that you want to say?"
Veda queried out of impatience.
"Please wait for a moment" Carlos requested and turned around. His hand reached to the back seat to seize something. It aroused the young woman's curiosity entirely. What was he trying to do? She doubted. "I got these for you" A wide grin tugged at Carlos's lips.
His hands firmly held the yellow flowers, goldenrod bouquet which stunned the young woman. No wonder she had been getting sweet scent once she stepped into this car. It was this flower! "May I know why?" Veda asked instead of receiving the bouquet right away.
Hesitation displayed across her face along with confusion. "Oh, this symbolizes encouragement to be honest. I would like to tell you not to concern over the issues if you have any right now. Could we be friends by any chance?" Maintaining the eye contact, Carlos requested.
Dragging Veda into silence. Weird. Unlike how she expected, he asked to be friends instead of assuming they were friends already. At least, he knew how she placed the line between them since the start. "Thanks for this beautiful bouquet" Veda accepted the flowers.
Causing the man to let out a quiet sigh in relief. "No need to appeal for a friendship because we are friends already of course!" The another words escaping Veda's lips stunned the man totally. His brows rose for some moment to express shock. But then he beamed in bliss.
"Thank you.."
He expressed gratitude.
