Chapter 3 A model

Alexander stepped out of the limo and helped Luna and his mother. "Mum, please try not to speak to the reporters too much, ok?" "Yes, son. Don't worry about it." As soon as he reached the red carpet the reporters started screaming hundreds of questions. "Mr.

Alexander, who is the new woman in your life?" "Do you have a girlfriend currently?" "Why did you end your previous relationship?" "Is it true that you own an exclusive suite in your new hotel?" "When is the release of the new software?" The reporters continued to scream different questions, but Alexander rushed inside followed by his family and security team. He disliked the noisy reporters. The truth was that there was no woman worth of mentioning in his life right now. As for the business-related questions, he will schedule a conference in a few weeks to inform the press about the release and the new hotel, in which he did own a suit, but was reluctant to share that information with anybody other than his family and closest friends. His entrance was certainly noticed by every woman in the room except Amy and Mila who were checking the food and decorations, the rest of the women were eyeing him. He noticed their gazes and smirked confidently. The arrival of Connor and Julian was noticed as well, they could not help but laugh at the women who were undressing them. They noticed the desire in the eyes of several ladies. Several models run to greet Alexander and his friends. "Good evening, what a pleasant surprise, we did not know that you will be attending the event, Mr. Smith." "Oh, well it was a last-minute decision" Alexander smiled. The Atkins knew they are good friends and they were seated at the same table. They enjoyed the champagne and mingled with the guests. Meanwhile, Amy tried to mingle with several ladies at her table. "Oh, I really like your food darling. I must have you at my next masquerade party. I really should not eat, I am trying to lose some weight, you know, but this is really delicious." "Oh, but you look amazing, you really do not need to lose any weight" Amy smiled gently. "You are already underweighted, I can count all of your bones, why do you want to lose any weight, " she thought to herself. Soon afterward she was introduced to several girls her age. They all looked like models, several of them were in fact models, skinny and beautiful, but empty on the outside. "You know, the jet was so small, I really disliked it. But then my boyfriend decided to finally buy a proper plane, so we'll fly comfortably on our next vacation." "O, I can recommend the Bahamas, I just returned, it is amazing there in this time of the year." Amy and Mila looked at each other; the truth was that they were not poor. They had more than most of the average people, but they preferred the simple life. They would both like to visit the Bahamas with somebody important, but they did not choose the boyfriends according to their annual earnings. Plane or a helicopter will not secure a happy family; they knew something like that cannot be bought. "Look at that singer, she had her lips done again, and somehow I find her less attractive than before, " one of the girls noticed. Amy noticed that the "beauty" talk was about to start and breathed out. Another girl joined the group; she stood proudly and greeted everybody "Good evening". Everybody except Amy and Mila recognized the girl and all of them tried to suck up to her. They smiled at her jokes, admired her clothes. However, Luna was aware that almost all of the girls tried to get closer to Alexander by getting closer to her. That is the way it has always been. Two girls seem to be rather immune to her presence, she was rather curious. She noticed Amy and Mila and decided to speak to them, she did not know them. She was sure that Amy is some model, and Mila could easily be an actress. She had spent a lot of time in Europe and returned only recently, so it was no surprise she did not know who the girls are. "I do not think we met before, I am Luna" she smiled. "Oh, hi, I am Amy and this is Mila, my best friend. Nice to meet you, Luna." "So, what company are you modeling for?" Luna was curious, she can not remember having seen Amy, but she looked like a model. "Oh, I am sorry Miss, I am not a model. You must have confused me with somebody." "Oh, you must be a singer, you have such a wonderful voice." The other girls were jealous of Amy, they all tried to befriend Luna, and she was speaking to her and admiring her. One of them decided to show Luna that Amy was just a commoner. "Oh, now, Miss Amy owns the catering company that provided the food for this party. I guess she just wants to keep an eye on her employees." "I see what you are trying to do, but I will not let it slide" Luna thought. "Oh, so you are the reason I ate this much. Your food is amazing. I will definitely recommend you to all my friends. Tell me, who is the famous cook who made all of these?" She really liked the food, and she also wanted to show that girl that she did not really care about the status that much. Although coming from a wealthy family, Luna was educated to be respectful towards others. Mila also decided to defend her best friend, she disliked when somebody tried to bully people. "Oh, there is no famous chef; all of what you tasted was prepared by Amy. She developed every dish we offer; the decorations were also her doings. However, we intend to hire a cook, since the business is growing." "That is great, where did you study cooking?" Luna thought Amy and Mila must be interesting persons, she had never met anyone who developed a business by themselves, most of her friends were rich thanks to their friends, so meeting somebody like Amy and Mila was a new experience to Luna. "Oh she studied law, but she decided to use that knowledge and start her own business" Mila cut in. She wanted to show just how amazing Amy is. "Well that must be helpful" Luna answered. "Yes, it helped me a lot. Will you excuse me, ladies, I have to go to the bathroom." Amy and Luna left just as Alexander was about to give the speech. "Imagine that cow, she tried to humiliate you, who does she think she is, " Mila said angrily. "Oh, I do not care about that, let her say whatever she wants." The truth is that Amy felt bad, she knew she was below their level, however, she could not understand why the girl tried to humiliate her. She liked Luna, she was kind and sweet. She was the only one who behaved classy in that group. After refreshing in the toilet the girls went to the bar to get a drink.
