Dressed in a sleek black gown that revealed only her slender arms and luminous, pale legs, the rest of Emma Hart was tightly enveloped.
The outfit, much more conservative than what the manager originally picked out, was a result of Emma's vehement protests.
"Did you pay attention to how the model walked? It's simple, just go up and do a couple of turns," the manager said, satisfied as he looked over Emma, who had her long hair draped over her shoulders and was now adorned with a delicate makeup look. With such preparations, she seemed even more appealing than the professional models.
Feeling a bit nervous and thus ignoring the manager, Emma was buoyed by the thought of earning double the pay just for a couple of laps on the stage.
"It's your turn, go on," came the manager's voice from behind. Taking a deep breath, Emma waited for the lights to dim before she slowly stepped onto the stage.
