Chapter 5 Dina is In!

"Come in," said the voice of a woman from inside.

Dina pushed open the glass door, she felt the colder air coming from inside the office. Her body hair stood up in extreme cold and nervousness. She can feel butterflies in her stomach.

"G-Good morning, Miss Lane," Dina said. Miss Lane stood in front of the mannequin dressed in a gorgeous wedding dress with a long trail. Standing next to her was a very beautiful older woman but her skin is still very smooth and without wrinkles, she looked stict and meticulous in everything.

"Oh, there you are, Dina." Lane approached Dina and greeted her, then shook hands with Delai. Lane turned to Madame Betty. "Madame, she's the one I'm talking about from what I saw last night."

Betty stared at Dina intently. She was examined from head to toe. She placed the left hand on the chin, resting the elbow on the folded right arm. She removed her hand from her chin and gestured for Dina to turn around, drawing a circle in the air.

Dina turned around with poise. She put drama while turning then she put her hand on her waist when she faced Betty again.

"Nice." She looked at her face again. "Dark brown eyes, beautiful double eyelids, just needs a little trim on the eyebrows. You have high nose and full lips which are both good as a make-up model. Your high cheek-bones and prominent jawline are perfect for TV commercials." Madame Betty detailed the features of her face.

She looked at her chest. "Measurement?"

"35-25-36 please." Dina replied.

"Good enough." She looked at Dina's waist. "It's okay." She continuously nodded. "Her body is passing, just needs a little work out. You will also pass as a beauty queen but we will talk about that later. I love your olive skin. What's your height, barefoot?"

"Five foot nine."

Madame Betty looked at Miss Dane. "All right, include her among the trainees for the new batch of BQMA international models, to be launched in Winter Collection International. Give her the details of the contract and the policy." Miss Betty looked at Delai. "Are you her manager?"

"Y-yes, Ma'am." Delai nodded.

"Okay, as her manager and now slash assistant, you should know the policy. Keep an eye on her. Make sure she follows everything stipulated in the contract as a trainee so you should know the content of the contract, too " She turned to Miss Lane again. "I'll go down first to check out the rehearsal." She waved at them then left Miss Lane's office.

Dina and Delai breathed a sigh of relief. "She's kind. I thought she was strict because she's famous," Dina said.

Miss Lane pointed to the two chairs opposite her working table. He sat in his swivel chair. "Madame is kind, as long as it is not work-related, she's okay, but when it comes to work, she's meticulous like me. I'm kind but I shout to death when it comes to training and rehearsals. I'm a different person. I hope when I shout at you you won't be like skin-onion. "

Dina shook her head in succession. "Oh no, no. My aunt used to shouting at me. Her voice was sharper then, like iron being squeezed."

Miss Lane laughed. "You're crazy. You're fun to be with. Oh hey, here's what the contract says." He handed over two copies of the contract, one each by Delai. "As you can see, this is a trainee contract. It states that you have to stay here with your manager. The contract as a trainee is six months to one year but it can be facilitated if you see rapid progress and improvement while the training is on-going. "

They both opened the contract and read as Miss Lane explained. "Call me Mama Lane. I'm not used to Miss Lane. Okay?"

"All right, Mama Lane," Dina said shyly.

"Well, while you are training you will receive an allowance, 15,000 a month plus other incentives like free clothing, accessories, free lodging and meals. Your manager will receive 10,000 plus the same incentives you will get. You will also have shows held as a trainee and there is a fee. It's only now. When you become a full -fledged model, your rate will increase. Especially when you already have offers, the fee is separate, of course. You are not allowed to sign another By the way, contract from a different agency even if you are still a trainee, and you can be removed from being a trainee if you violate the rules that are there. You can still be prosecuted by the PMC. There are only three prohibitions besides signing with another agency, First of all, it's forbidden to get pregnant. Take birth control. "

"Oh, I believe in marriage first of all," Dina replied shaking her head.

"You can't say that. There are many temptations in the world you want to enter. Anyway, the second is that public scandal is forbidden. Please, respect the PMC, BQMA and BKMA. Let's take care of these names."

"Yes."

"Third, you will let all your decisions know that you know will be affected uhan the agency. Don't keep it a secret from us. That's all. "

"So, you mean, we're part of the Agency?" Delai asked.

"Of course. When you are asked which agency you are, proudly say you're from BQMA. While training, you will be included in some local events that models need, especially mall shows. High is not allowed. Our profile models at such events. Their professional fees are too expensive so we send trainees. That's also your training ground. Then our other models also get older. We also need to replace some of them. They are starting to have rheuma. " Mama Lane laughed proudly.

Dina laughed at her joke. She was so happy, it was really the beginning of her dreams.

"Remember your schedules." She pulled out a paper from the drawer, handed it to Dina. "This is your manager's room assignment. It's also here, in the next building. That is the models' condo here. There's also your class schedule. It's like you're just studying here while earning."

"Many, many thanks, Mama Lane." Dina held the hand of her fairy god mother.

"Don't be thankful. It's just a coincidence that I was invited to that contest and saw you. We don't just invite trainees easily. Aspiring models do come here and apply like ordinary applicants to work. They even submit VTR and portfolio. It's just that one talent scout at the opposing agency saw you, I just preceded him." Then he laughed again. "I preceded that bitch!"

"Is that so? Alas, I will still choose you in case they also offered me. It is prestigious to join BQMA," Dina said. It's not normal to get into this agency so quickly.

Dina and Delai signed the contract, took their copy and handed the original copy to Mamang Lane.

"All right, go ahead. Your room will be fixed and we will put your freebies as part of welcoming our new trainees. Move before Sunday because Monday next week is the start of training. It's hard but don't give up, okay?" Mamang Lane showed thumbs up.

"Yes, Mamang Lane, promise. It's my dream." Delai and I also thumbs up.

"Good girl. All right." Mamang Lane even gestured that they were being chased away.

The two got up and left the office. "I'm in!" The two hit another high five before leaving the building.
