Chapter 5 Fifth chapter

Finally, it was the official start of the competition. The other girls went to the villa and when they arrived, a clan was immediately formed. On one side, the popular and rich girls and on the other side, the not so rich girls. The stars were chatting. When they saw the others coming, some of them started to laugh... - SONYA: What are you doing here? Are you serious? Do you really think he's going to choose you? You are low class, okay? They didn't have the courage to answer, but one of them did: Fanny Owona. She was a young woman with a light complexion and very beautiful.

She was a blogger and model. It's true that she wasn't rich like the girls in the other clan, but she wasn't poor either because she had a job that paid her enough. She was a girl known for being kind, but also for not letting herself be pushed around... She approached Sonya, who was sitting on the living room couch with the other girls in her row, and she said: - FANNY: Yes, we are low class financially it's true, but I promise you that one of us will win and then you will understand that money doesn't buy everything, not even love! You stupid girl! - DIANA: What? You dare to insult Sonya? - FANNY: Ah, Diana Bouli, the tiktokeuse! Are you defending her? Oh, I see, you're looking for connections! Sonya got up and slapped her. - DIANA: Yes, that's right, Sonya! The other girls came to Fanny's aid and asked her to sit down... - FANNY: Okay, I'll go sit down. But just so you know, I'm not leaving here without ripping the skin off those two bitches! While they were arguing, Pierre Abena was upstairs working out when all of a sudden his phone started ringing. He picked up the phone and it was the candidate recruiter. She was a woman who was known to have a lot of connections. She planned the biggest weddings, was a guest on the best TV talk shows, and was asked to create shows. She was married and had two children. - Hello sir, I'll be there in a few minutes and I'd like to talk to you please. - PIERRE ABENA: Good morning! Is there anything serious? - Uh no no! I'm just telling you so you can prepare to receive me, that's all, sir! - PIERRE ABENA: Okay! I'll be upstairs, in my living room! - Okay sir, thank you! He stopped his sport session and went to shower then he went down to the first floor to greet the new girls. They were all delighted to see him, especially Fanny Owona. For her, he was the ideal man physically and she was ready to do anything to get him. She was not ready to let herself be trampled by these stars who took the head. For her, she was going to keep her head high and go for it to get the prince's heart. After greeting them, he said: - PIERRE ABENA: We'll go play basketball in the afternoon and in the evening, I'll go into the hot tub for a one-on-one with the best of you! The girls started whispering. Each one was saying how she was going to do everything she could to win. He went back up to his quarters and the recruiter arrived. She greeted the girls and went upstairs to see him. He was looking at his phone intently to the point that when she walked in, he hadn't realized it... He was sitting on the couch and she walked behind him, plugging in his phone before sitting down. She glanced into his phone as she passed and said: - You like this picture it seems. You post it and then you look at it! He didn't know she was there, so he said, "Huh?" before locking his phone and putting it on the table! - Haha... Good morning sir! - PIERRE ABENA: Good morning (holding out his hand). I hope you are well? - Yes, thank you (also holding out his hand). She then went to sit down in front of him. The prince called the cook to serve him something and it was done and then the conversation started. - In fact there is a candidate who was selected, but did not follow up on our invitation to come here to the villa. Do you want us to do another draw to find one last girl? The prince was surprised at first. - STONE: It's still weird to sign up and not come. Do you know who this is exactly? - Uh... yes sir! Just give me a second! She took her computer out of the case and started to manipulate. - That's it! Her name is Hortavie, but there is no picture of her since pictures were forbidden for fear that girls would be chosen based on their appearance, but there is a description of her. She is a black girl who lives here in Yaoundé. - PIERRE ABENA: Is that all? - Yes, that's all, sir! - STONE ABENA: She should have let another girl try her luck than to sign up and not come. I WANT TO SEE HER HERE before the end of the week! Excuse me! He got up and went downstairs. The cook served him breakfast and he called Valerie Ayena to accompany him. He had noticed that she was a calm, composed girl and above all very mature and a bit mysterious. He wanted to know a little more about her. The other girls were jealous. Each one wanted to be in Valerie's place. - PIERRE ABENA: So Valerie, are you okay? - VALERIE: Yes Pierre that goes and you? You slept well? - STONE ABENA: Yes thank you! I like your maturity and your calm. She smiled. - VALÉRIE: Wow! Thank you! A woman should be calm! - PIERRE ABENA: That's true! So, tell me, why do you want to have me when there are plenty of men everywhere? He was eating with his right hand. She put her right hand on his left and started stroking it, saying: - VALERIE: It's true that there are men out there, but you are the only one who manages to give me butterflies in my stomach. The prince looked at her and smiled. - PIERRE ABENA: That's beautiful and it touches me! In any case, I'm delighted that you're here and I hope you'll manage to stand out even more! - VALÉRIE: With pleasure (smiling). He kissed her hand and said "see you at basketball". She went to her room with a smile on her face and didn't hesitate to tell her friends and family on the phone what had just happened. The prince, pensive, took his phone and went on Instagram to look at all the comments present on his photo with Hortavie, Mimie and Roxane to see if they had commented. There were about 30,000 comments. He looked at about 500 and it was too much for him. As he was leaving the application, he saw the 501st comment and the name immediately jumped out at him: Lara Chloé. Oh yes, it was Mimie's account and there was her profile picture. He liked her comment and replied with a heart then clicked on her name to see her account. She had three pictures. Two pictures of her and one picture where she was with her mother, Hortavie. That picture was from a day ago. He clicked on the name that was tagged on the photo. It was Hortavie's. She had two pictures of herself. One photo alone and another photo with Mimie and Roxane. After looking at everything, he took the screenshots of the accounts and finally left the app. He finished eating and went to join the girls outside. - PIERRE ABENA: So, are you having fun? I hope you're ready for this afternoon. They said "yes" and he asked them to pay attention to what he was about to say. - PIERRE ABENA: Today is the official start of the adventure! If you are here, it is surely because you have some interest in me and I thank you for that! I wish each of you to give your all and do everything to stand out, because what I want is a woman who knows how to fight to get what she wants by acting by her own means and not necessarily as others act. You want to seduce me? Dare and improvise, make a difference and above all, give it your all! Finally, you should know that the rules of this adventure will be communicated to you in the evening by the recruiter, who is also the presenter and organizer of this magnificent course! Meanwhile, the presenter was still upstairs, waiting for her phone to charge to try to contact Hortavie.
