Chapter 3
The door opened and Adrienne growled.
"Go away! I said I'm not hungry!" She kicked her legs on the bed.
"Baby." She heard her mother's calm and soft voice. She removed the pillow from her face and sat on the bed and stared at her mother.
"Mom?" She called out in surprise.
"Yes, it's me baby." Her mother smiled.
Adrienne bursted into hot tears and hugged her mother tightly.
Mrs Jessica was surprised at her daughter's behavior but she didn't say anything and hugged her back.
"I thought you left the country today and you wouldn't be back anytime soon. I was really so upset with you," Adrienne said and sucked her lower lip.
Her mother smiled and stroked her hair softly.
"Oh darling! I told the servants to let you know I was out of the country for business and that I'll be back in a week's time because I didn't want to ruin the surprise I wanted to get for you." Mrs Jessica smiled.
Adrienne's eyes glinted in excitement and her pouty lips curved in a big smile.
"You know I love surprises mom!" Adrienne squealed enthusiastically.
Mrs Jessica took the bag that was beside Adrienne's bed and handed it over to her. Adrienne beamed and opened the bag hurriedly. She gasped in surprise as a complete set of Dior. A Dior bag, clothes, shoe, makeup kit and jewllery box. It was so beautiful.
"This so beautiful mom, thank you." Adrienne smiled and hugged her mother.
Her mom always spoilt her with really expensive gifts and that was the only way Adrienne wouldn't stay mad at her for too long.
"Why did you have to leave the country for these? It could have been shipped." Adrienne raised her eyebrows as she stared at her mother.
Mrs Jessica smiled and nodded her head.
"I got a call from Dior from Paris and they wanted to meet with me on behalf of you. They want to make you a teenage ambassador for Dior." Mrs Jessica broke the good news in excitement.
Adrienne was excited but confused at the same time.
"How come? I mean, I'm not a model or an actress or even a big celebrity so why would do offer me something that huge?" She asked.
"Well, you should thank your family background for that. Your father and I are very influential.
Plus your grandfather is the Duke. So, they sent you these items as gifts for you. I didn't accept the offer though because I wanted you to give your own decision," her mother said.
"Wow! I'm really excited mom. And are you kidding me? Do you think I'm gonna reject something this huge?
Of course I'll accept their proposal. This can make me a model." Adrienne smiled.
"In glad that you like it. We'll leave for Paris next weekend for the Paris fashion week and that's when you'll be announced as Dior's teenage England ambassador," Mrs Jessica said with so much pride.
"Okay mom, I can't wait."
"Meanwhile, I'll call them and let them know you've accepted and a contract would be signed."
"Okay mom, I'll look forward to it."

"Here girls, my mom got them for me from Paris yesterday." Adrienne smiled as she handed a box each of choclates to her friends.
"Wow! They look expensive and tasty too. Thank you Adrienne." Samantha smiled as she admired the chocolate box.
"Yeah, thank you Adrienne." Jasmine smiled.
"Thank you." Sofia added with a wide grin.
"You're welcome girls. Let's talk at lunch," Adrienne smiled and left the girls table and went back to her seat.
"Benefit of having a rich and generous friend." Sofia giggled and winked at Jasmine. Jasmine chuckled lightly and nodded her head.
"Of course."
"You-" Just as Samantha was about saying something, the Chinese language teacher walked in.
"Ugh!" Jasmine grumbled. She hated Chinese and she always failed the subject.
"I don't know why we have to learn Chinese when we're in England." Sofia hissed.
"Let's just leave her class or I'll sleep off." Jasmine smirked and Sofia nodded her head.
As the Chinese language teacher faced the board to write, Jasmine and Sofia sneaked out of the class.
"That is why they never pass the subject." Sam shook her head sadly as she watched both girls sneak out.
Adrienne was surprised that Adrian was getting most of the Chinese questions that the teacher asked.
But other students also answered as most of them liked the subject and the teacher.
Adrienne kept stealing glances at Adrian as he answered questions.
She didn't pay much attention to the class as her mind was filled with becoming a teenage Dior ambassador, she was so excited.

"Do I look that handsome that you couldn't stop staring at me the whole time?" Adrian asked with a cocky smirk.
Adrienne cleared her throat and looked down on her desk.
"I don't know what you're talking about." She lied and rolled her eyes. She was too embarrassed to look at Adrian as he had caught her staring at him.
Class was over and Adrian thought it would be nice to have fun teasing Adrienne who couldn't take off her eyes at home during the Chinese class.
"You were staring at me the whole time during class." Adrian smirked.
"I wasn't staring at you in particular, I was staring into space." Maltida huffed and crossed hse arms underneath her boobs.
"Don't stare at me for too long or my face would wear off." Adrian teased.
"Hey!" Maltida yelled at him. Adrian laughed and walked back to his seat.
"Egocentric blue eyes!" She huffed angrily.
*******
Adrienne woke up that morning feeling very happy and enthusiastic. It was finally Thursday, the day she would be leaving the country to Paris for the show the next day.
She had persisted her mom in allowing her to go a day before as she didn't want to be late.
She got dressed and she look expensively dressed and beautiful. Her make up was very light and her hair was packed up in a very neat ponytail and tendrils were left on her face.
Two maids walked into her room and helped her with her luggage.
Adrienne thought she would be able to open her eyes all through but she soon slept off in the private jet.
They arrived late at night in one of their exquisite hotels in Paris. Adrienne and her mother ordered dinner and ate. After that, Adrienne took her bath and went to bed, she has a long day ahead tomorrow.
********
Adrian's eyes popped out in shock as he watched Adrienne walk into the hall with a beautiful woman that he assumed must be her mother because of the resemblance.
What the heck was she doing there?
He couldn't get his eyes off her and it was obvious she had not seen him. She wasn't even looking in his direction.
"Let's welcome two of our new teenage ambassadors of Dior from England, Adrienne Maltida Charles Archie and Adrain Carl Crown." The host announced with a smile and there was a loud applause for them.
Adrian and Adrienne stared at themselves in shock as they stood facing each other on the podium.
