Jane grabbed her hand bag as she exited the saloon. She had considered changing her hairdo a little and the style recommended to her by the stylist suited her perfectly. She later went for a massage and entered the mall to get a matching dress for the upcoming Valentino ball for popular world class stars and billionaire s around the globe. She happened to have received an invitation and that’s what brought about the total makeover. Jane was one of the youngest models who had gained popularity over a short period of time. Her movie ,”caught under his influence “, had been a global success and talk about. This gained her the rank to receive New York’s hottest model. Aside being influential in the modeling world, she also had her own cosmetic company where she made body creams and make up products which also sold sharply . She was also the richest female entrepreneur and people liked to call her beauty goddess.
“Which one suits me better”, she asked the boutique attendant who had been dumbfounded after seeing Jane. She hadn’t expected to see a successful woman buying on her own since they would just get their stylists to get them. The attendant held herself together and helped Jane choose a very beautiful dress designed by a French famous tailor. The dress had a wine colour which exposed some part of her back and legs. It was a beautiful match and Jane rejoiced as she tried it on . She stood in front of the mirror looking at her reflection and tears fell from her face as she remembered her late mother. She was the exact dulplicate of her mother and looking at the mirror made her lose control. The attendant tried comforting her even though she had no idea what was happening. Jane held herself together and handed her attendant her card . “This is my card, I would like u to help me get clothes because you have good eyes. Please call me tomorrow if you are interested “, she said as she paid and left the place. She entered her limousine and the chauffeur drove off. Upon reaching her mansion ,she alighted and grabbed her dog who had come to welcome her back. Grabbing her dog beauty, she entered the mansion and fixed herself a meal after the day’s stress. Her feet was aching so she walked towards the dressing room and took off her pencil heel , finishing off into the bathtub and slipping on a comfortable dress in her closet. Jane took her phone as she received a phone call from her childhood friend Edward .Edward was two years older than Jane and was a loser on the other hand. He had no achievement and lived in a rented house in the city’s poor neighborhood. He technically felt he was born to be a musician but had barely received a like from the media and had only three followers on tiktok. You might be wondering who they are. His followers were Jane,himself and and old man who was apparently a loser .
“Im at your gate”, Edward announced on the phone as he was guided inside by one of janes guards.
Edward sat down and got control of the tv remote. He usually came over to watch movies with Jane and Jane actually enjoyed his company. He selected a romance movie on Netflix and the two friends watched as they ate their popcorns. Edward all of a sudden placed a tender touch on Jane and he tried to press his lips on hers.
Who knew this would happen? Jane jumped out of the sofa and stood at the door processing what had just happened. Not giving up, Edward took off his shirt revealing his misculine and perfectly sculpted body. Jane somehow always secretly admired it whenever he took his shirt off buh she never made it obvious. “ what is wrong with you young man”, she questioned the desperate man as he tended to get closer. Upon getting closer , he went straight to continuing what he was doing before and this time Jane gave in .It really felt good but was she willing to lose her friendship , she thought as she backed away by pushing away Edward. “ look Edward, I do not know if Ure drunk but I don’t want this at all or even wanna distroy our friendship. I don’t know what come up with you but I can’t do this”, she said as she turned towards the direction of her bedroom. Before she moved a step she was stopped by Edward who was full of emotions. “ Jane I know we’re friends and we’ve been that for years but I want more than that. I want to look at you in the morning when I wake up and sing for you when you are sad. Mrs perfect, please I want to have my children with you . I have always wanted you to know my feelings for you but had no courage till now. Please accept me “,Edward explained trying to get close. Without thinking, Jane stormed off into her room leaving Edward confused . He grabbed a blanket and slept on janes hall couch for the night.
Jane laid on her bed confused about what to do or how to react with what had just happened. Was she ready for all this ?, she thought. Edward had always been her loyal friend but she had never expected such confession and affection from him . The modelcould hardly sleep with too much on her plate . She tossed and turned till sleep finally decided to spare her one night. She managed to sleep but soon woke up in the middle of the night after having a nightmare. In the dream we’re her long gone parents eating and rejoicing with her over her recent success when her parents suddenly passed out and never woke up. She began to scream till her eyes popped open and she realized it was a nightmare .
Upon hearing screams, Edward hurriedly rush to comfort the crying and cherished friend he had gotten used to . He retrieved a juice from the refrigerator and handed it to her to at least make her feel better . It worked perfectly and she narrated what had happened in her dream, making Edward double his effort to comfort her. It felt good to have Edward by her since she was getting relaxed little by little. Jane slept on the bed and allowed sleep to sweep her over . After jane slept , the young man stood there for a while starring passionately at the figure in front of her. He turned around and went back to his previous sleeping ground .
Jane jerked up as she heard her alarm soundly signaling her that she slept too much. Looking at the time , she stormed out of bed and bolted towards the bathroom to take a bath . “ how could she have over slept?”, she questioned herself as she turned on the shower and the warm water touched her body . It felt good and she closed her eyes as the water continued to shower on her. She was suddenly distracted by the ringing tone of her mobile phone. Just as she unlocked the screen she realized that she had 24 missed calls on her phone . She called back and her personal assistant asked her where she was. “ mrs Jane were getting late for the ball”, she spoke out on the phone and miss Jane told her she was almost ready. How horrible the day was getting. Rushing to finish the shower, the phone again began to ring but she totally ignored it thinking that it was Emma again trying to tell her about the time again. Ema was the name of her personal assistant who knew how to handle all situations even if they sounded complicated. She had worked for Jane when Jane came into the industry and had helped Jane to get where she was with proper planning, guidance and even discipline . Jane always appreciated the work of this woman and made sure she was paid well to prevent any artist from taking her assistant through influence or anything.
After showering she recalled and it was the boutique attendant she had given her card to. She had indeed told her to contact her but this was not the time since she was having an ungernt situation here. “ I’m a little bit up to something so I’ll call you back later”, Jane said to the lady on the phone as she ended the call and rushed to get dressed. She hadn’t even noticed Edward had been standing there staring at her moving up and down and she felt a little embarrassed about it but there was no time to think about it . She put on the wine dress and combed her hair in a perfect style that left Edward marveled at the beauty being displayed in front of him.”How do I look”, she asked as she slipped on her heels and snapped a perfect picture on her phone. Jane then modeled her way out of the house and there stood her limousine with Emmma waiting outside for her. “ I hope we’re now good to go”, Emma questioned as Jane entered the vehicle and the chauffeur stormed the vehicle out. The site of the surrounding trees made Jane feel relaxed and she poured herself a cup of wine in the car. She still had her eyes observing the moving cars outside till emma closed the hanging curtains in the vehicles and gave Jane tips on how to try and talk to business tycoons and big investors to invest in her company and movies. Jane felt a little distracted but Emma was not giving up so easily . There was a brief pause when Emma found out the car had halted as a result of traffic jam. “Mrs Jane i have a different idea if you are willing to give it a try. You see it’s just left with about 10 steps from here to get to the party but I don’t know if you can handle walking in the sun and getting attention in the jam”, Emma illustrated. “ it’s not a problem”, Jane said as she opened the gate. Emma tried to get Jane to cover her face in other to not gain public attention but Jane just said,” what’s the worst that could happen “,and she rushed out of the vehicle.
