After a while, Sophie went to Ava's room and saw her crying, "What is the matter honey? Why are you crying? Did anything happen? Talk to me" worriedly asked Sophie. Looking at Sophie, Ava started wailing and said, "Mom I know dad loves Sarah but I am his daughter too, why does he always talk to me like that? ….Like I don't matter to him" Seeing Ava so upset, Sophie consoled her daughter, and then after pacifying her, Sophie asked her to get ready for the party.
Listening to her mother, Ava went to change and came back. She looked absolutely stunning in her silk red gown. Looking at her, Sophie couldn't stop herself from complimenting her daughter. After some time, a car's horn was heard outside Ava's house. Excitingly, Ava went to see who it was, through the window and saw Sam waiting for her. Sophie inquired about who Sam was to which Ava turned to look at her and answered, "Mom, that's Sam, my friend, he is the one who helped me get this amazing opportunity." Listening to Ava, Sophie smiled at her and said, "Okay honey, go, enjoy ….Have a blast and make mamma proud"
Seeing Ava walk towards him, Sam's jaw dropped as he admired her beauty. He complimented her and said, "Hey, Beautiful! …..Wow look at you huh!" Ava got into the car, adjusted her seatbelt, and exclaimed "That's enough! Stop checking me out! … c'mon let's leave or else we'll be late for the party" After a short while, they reached their destination. The party was quite grand, a lot of businessmen, industrialists, and media personalities were present, still, Ava managed to captivate everyone's attention towards her. Sam and Ava were busy soaking in, the glitz and glamour of the party.
Sam whispered, "Ava, looks like in the future you would attend many more parties like this. Just look at how people here are eyeing you, after all, you are the star of this party, am I right?" "Of course" replied Ava.
The most trending topic that was discussed at the entire party was 'Sean Rogers'. It was the talk of the town for the night. All this chatter about him piqued Ava's curiosity about Sean again, "Where is Sean?" asked Ava to Sam.
Before Sam could even answer her, the atmosphere of the party changed. 4 muscular men who looked like bodyguards entered the room, along with them was another individual who was donning a grey-colored suit. He was speaking on the phone saying, "Yes sir, everything looks fine here, you can now arrive." Just then, a sparkling, black-colored BMW arrived at the entrance of the banquet. Everyone's eyes were glued on the car to see who would come out of it. After a while, a tall and handsome man came out of the car. All the girls in the party fixed their eyes on him because he was none other than Sean Rogers himself.
Looking at his impactful presence and aura, Ava asked, "Sam, who's this guy who has captured everyone's attention from the minute he stepped into the party, I mean he gives off a vibe of someone very important." Listening to her, Sam carefully observed the man and said, "Ava, it's Mr. Rogers, the same guy you have been asking about." Ava surprisingly said, "What!!!" Sean was surrounded by the press as soon as he entered and one of the media people asked, "So, Mr. Rogers, we are finally able to get hold of you. You are in Orlando after such a long time, please tell us something about your next project." Sean answered the question and talked about his project. After a long chat, Sean's assistant Victor, led him away from the media to introduce him to other people. At a distance, Sam and Ava sat and witnessed all the fuss and excitement.
Looking at Sam and Ava, Mr. Brooks came up to them and said, "Hey Guys!.... Just the people I was looking for …. I was waiting for both of you. Come, I'll introduce you guys to Mr. Rogers, please follow me." Mr. Brooks introduced Sam and Ava to Sean and introduced Ava as the model for his new project. Sean gazed at Ava for about 2 minutes and then greeted her, "Hey, Ava ...It's nice to meet you" after which they started chatting with each other. Looking at Ava, Sean said, "So Ava, seems like Mr. Brooks made a good choice. I've heard that you want to try modeling. As far as I know, this is my first time seeing you." As she answered, Ava, said, "I have just started modeling and I am very much new here … That's why you haven't heard anything about me, you know." As the time passed, the guests started leaving the party. Ava looked at Sean and said, "So Mr. Rogers, It's quite late …. I think I should take my leave now," Sean listening to her say that she was leaving, he stopped her and asked, "Ava, I can take you home as it's already too late and one more thing, please don't call me Mr. Rogers, okay, just call me Sean" Listening to this Ava smirked and replied, "It's okay Sean, Sam, my friend, here will drop me"
"Okay, if you insist... Be safe, bye". After a short drive, Sam dropped Ava home and left. Laying on her bed, Ava recalled the day and tried to absorb everything that went by. She could not believe that all this while what she had dreamt of was finally coming true. Modeling was her passion and she wanted to make it big. She knew that this assignment with Sean Roger's company could be her big break into the industry. Soaked in her thoughts, Ava fell asleep.
The next day, Ava got up early because she had to begin working on Sean's project. She skipped her breakfast and reached Sean's office in a hurry. After reaching, she was about to greet Sean when Sean looked at Ava and wished instantly, "Good morning Ava! How are you? Looks like you are ready to take on the world today, and that's nice …. And yes, today you are going to have a very busy day ahead, so be prepared …. Also, today is your first day, right? ….. All the best for your shoot."
Ava was about to say thank you, when Sean interrupted again and said, "Ava, wait for a second if possible, finish up your work early today so that we can go and have lunch together." Listening to Sean, Ava nodded and agreed to meet up for lunch, and then she went for her shoot.
After a while, Sean's assistant Victor came up to him and informed, "Sir, the project which has started today, we will have to keep a record of all the details of the money invested in it, so that we won't have to face any issue in the future." Sean asked Victor to maintain all the records with him and asked him to cancel all the appointments for the afternoon and swooshed out of the office.
Victor followed Sean and inquired, "Sir, the meeting today is regarding this project itself, would it be okay to just cancel it?" Listening to him, Sean replied, "Absolutely, and nobody is going anywhere, we are going to complete this project in 2 months, okay, now go …. I have somewhere important to be." Victor was taken aback because it was for the first time ever that Sean had canceled any appointments. He stood in the hallway of their office pondering for a while and then left to resume his work.
Meanwhile, at the shoot, Mr. Brooks met Ava and asked, "Ava, are you ready for the shoot?" Ava nervously replied yes, because it was the first huge project of her life and she had never imagined that she would be working on such a large-scale project. Mr. Brooks, looking at the nervous expression on her face, asked her to get ready for the shoot to help her relax for a little bit. After some time, Ava changed and came out of the room and started posing for the camera as instructed by Mr. Brooks. After a perfect day of posing and clicking pictures, the shooting came to an end. Ava had just come out after changing when she suddenly remembered the appointment that she had made with Sean to go for lunch together. Just then, Mr. Brooks said, "Ava, you are done for the day, now you can head back home."
Downstairs, Sean was waiting for Ava in his car. Just then Ava arrived and apologized, "Sorry to keep you waiting, I just finished up my work." Listening to Ava, he smiled and opened the car door, signaling her to sit in the car. After a short while, they reached a restaurant. Ava was in awe after seeing such a fancy restaurant. During the entire lunch, Sean's eyes were fixed on Ava whereas Ava was busy talking to him about her day. After lunch, Sean dropped Ava home.
During the entire course of the project, Sean and Ava were getting to know each other and just like that 2 months flew by.
Even though Victor was Sean's assistant, Sean treated him like a friend. Noticing Sean's growing attraction towards Ava, Victor said, "I have been observing you for a while and it seems like you and Ava have gotten quite close and if I am not mistaken, I think you have feelings for her, am I right Sean?"
Listening to Victor, Sean blushed and nervously replied, "Yes, for the past two months I have had the chance to get to know Ava better and yes, you guessed it right that I am attracted to her, and this attraction has more meaning. I have started developing feelings for her. I really like her and to be honest, I want to spend my entire life with her.....but..but... I do not have any clue on how to express my feelings to her nor do I know whether she feels the same about me or not?"
Victor already knew about Sean's feelings, however, he wanted to hear it coming from Sean himself. Listening to Sean, after a short pause, Victor said, "It's okay bro, I'll help you out. Anyways, the project is gonna end in a few days and our company is organizing a party after that, there you can confess your feelings to her. Isn't that right my friend?" Hearing this, Sean got excited and thought to himself that finally at the party he could confess his feelings for Ava.
