"let's not waste any more time and get right to what we are here for"Mr Evans said and a man with big glasses placed some documents beside them each
"the contract contains the amount of years you would spend with us,also with the percent our agency will get from each job you get which is fifteen percent,and also some other terms and condition which are written in the contract,we will give you a few minutes for you to go through it and decide whether you agree with it or not"
Adira read the terms and agreed with what was written,the agency would get fifteen percent from the jobs they would be offered which was acceptable and the amount of years they could spend in the agency was fine,the contract could be extended if they beneficial for the company and they could terminate the contract if they wanted to but it must be for a good reason
she picked up a pen that was offered to her and signed the contract closing the file
the man with the big glasses collected the file from her and the other girls and brought them to Mr evans.he went through the contract that they had signed and smiled placing it on the table
"since the contract has been signed..."he turned to adira facing her before he continued"miss adira we already have a job for you of which you will model for a clothing brand with Mr Damon of walton"
'what'adira thought surprised and shocked at what she heard,she just signed into their agency how did she suddenly get a job offer and with damon
not only adira but all the three girls where surprised too and looked at adira with disgust and suspicious gazes thinking that she must have slept her way in.juliet stared at adira shocked not believing that she is getting work before her and not just any work but she gets to works alongside with Damon
seeing the looks that were on adira's face and the way the girls were looking at her he said
"we decided to give the job to the model that impressed us the most during the audition and it was miss adira,you don't have anything to worry about,there will be lots of opportunities in the future for all of you so..."he stood up from the chair and continued saying
"ones you have been introduced to your booker's,they will explain the other things you need to do as the new faces in the agency and..."he looked at adira
"the shooting for the clothing brand is in two days,your booker will let you know what you are to do"Mr Evans said and walked over to them each,shaking their hands as they stood up to do so,giving them a formal introduction into starlet modeling agency
once they left leaving the girls inside the meeting room,Juliet turned to look sharply at adira ready to say something but then some people entered who they assumed were their booker's and they were not wrong
...
After spending a long day at the agency she immediately took a cab home and reaching there she removed her shoes and slumped on the couch exhausted
Asher who heard the door closing came out of his room and saw adira laying on the couch looking exhausted,he smiled and went to the kitchen getting a glass of water from the fridge
he gave it to adira and she collected it,sitting upright and drowning the water down her throat till she drank it all"thank you daddy,i really needed that"he smiled collecting the glass and but he then asked"is this how you are going to come home tired like this everyday,am worried that you might fall sick if you continue like this"his tone showing how worried he was,and thinking that maybe she should have started working after finishing college
"dad,today was just my first day,so of course I will be like this,i will get used to it eventually so you don't need to worry"she said holding his hand to reassure him that she will be fine but he had another he was worried about
"sweetie,you know being in the entertainment world is not easy, especially in the modeling agency,there are men who are ready to exploit the bodies of girls like you for their own advantage and also the problem of drugs,I want you to be very careful,you might be given a drug without you knowing,so please be careful of who you trust my dear,and be very careful"he voiced out his concerns and adira nodded agreeing with her father
it was something she already knew before she decided to be a model,but she has prepared herself to remain strong and not give in to the dark side of the entertainment industry
"yes father i understood everything and i will be very careful,um dad do i smell chicken lasagna"she asked with her gaze on the kitchen already licking her lips at the feeling that her dad made one of her favorite foods
he smiled at Adira and said proudly"why don't you go to the kitchen and see for yourself"and with that all the tiredness she felt left her body and she dashed to the kitchen seeing a skillet filled with bowtie pasta cooked in marinara sauce and topped with mozzarella cheese and garnished with parsley,she hugged her dad who had followed her to the kitchen and they went to the dinning table sitting on it and he served two plates
"haven't you eaten,dad"she asked and he shook his head"no,i was waiting for you to come home so that we could eat together"she felt a little guilty that she made him wait and said
"you don't have to wait for me before you can eat dad,eat when you are hungry"he smiled at her saying okay but she knew he would still be waiting for her to come home before he eats
they enjoyed a happy meal while talking about random things because adira didn't want them to talk about the job,not wanting it to be what they talk about when she has the time
after dinner and chatting with her dad for a while,she went to her room and sat on her bed sighing deeply before rubbing her temples thinking of the job she has to do with Damon,Damon of all the guys in the world it had to be him,does he know she will be the one to model alongside with him
she picked up her purse that was on the bed and took her phone out,checking photos of her on it,her Brooker had said to her that she needs to create a new portfolio which will be done tomorrow and also do her comp card with her polaroid which are photos of her wearing plain clothes and no makeup
she would also need to perfect her walk,she had been complimented about her walk when she strutted for her the catwalk coaches,them saying it was almost perfect but it still needed work
