The Billionaire's Secret Lover
Chapter 22: Nina
I was getting ready to lock up my apartment when I heard voices outside. I quickly locked up and rush outside to see Deborah arguing with Darcy. Darcy had come to pick me up being my and all that but how does she know Deborah?.
“What's going on here?” I asked them as I look from Deborah to Darcy.
“Nina?” Deborah call surprised looking at me“How did you know Darcy?”.
“She is my manager” I replied frowning, I don't know where this conversation is going to and I don't think I'll like one bit.
“What?” Deborah screams as she charges over me with hostility“ are you the newly signed Lush beauty model?” She asked me and I nodded.
“Damn you, Michael!, ” She screamed “ I will ruin you and everything that belongs to you” She storms off angrily to her apartment.
“What was all that about?”I ask Darcy as I got into the car, she sat down beside me surprised as well as the driver drove us to the location.
“Miss Melton was Lush beauty model until yesterday” She answers after some time.
“What?” It was my turn to look shocked, I mean I never knew, not that if I did I would have still signed the contract cos I hate her so much right now.
“Yes, she has been with them for six years now and I've been her manager since then” She replies shrugging as the car pulled into Lush beauty parking loot, cutting off our conversation.
I got down from the car to see Michael rushing to meet me with Andrea right behind him. How did he get here so soon?. We just spoke on the phone.
“Are you alright?” He asked as he hugged me tightly breathing heavily. I was surprised as I look at Andrea who shrugs.
“Yes. What's wrong Michael?” I ask him after he has released me looking all over my body for any sign of scratches.
“Nothing” He replies when he was satisfied with his inspection“I was scared when I arrived and couldn't find you,” He said as he guides me into the studio.
Everyone was set from the photographer to the costumier and the makeup artist. Darcy came to excused me from Michael telling him that make-up artist was ready to make my face.
Juli was busy gushing over my face as she applies foundation on my face“ Wow!, you are so beautiful” She said, blending the foundation on my face with a wet brush.
“Thank you” I reply shy as I'm not used to receiving compliments except Michael and Lillian.
“Our last model, Deborah Melton was not as beautiful as you are. She always relies on heavy makeup to make her beautiful but you are just so natural” She continues, gushing on how I have the perfect eyes, chin, face, and blah blah blah.
“Thank you” I reply again smiling, I just wish she would shut up anytime soon.
“I try to make it nude, that is what Michael wants” She said as she stood back to admire her handwork.
I look at the mirror smiling, she's really good. Though, she talks too much. She has flawlessly made up my face and still retains my natural look.
“Thank you. I love it” I said looking up at her. Just then the door opens and Darcy walks in smiling.
