HIS TRUE BEAUTY

Shamefully I didn’t look up to him. He picked up his stuffs.

“I think you will be more comfortable when I leave, thank a week off work, don’t worry will talk to Ferd. I will call”.

He said and put on his shirt, picked up his stuffs.

Did I offend him unaware?

He was about to leave the room.

“Sir Bruno.. sorry Bruno?”

He paused and looked back.

“You are a life saver thanks, I will never forget this”.

He nodded and left.

I fell back on the bed and closed my eyes.

“Not again, why do It allways had to be him in my worst situations”.

*****

2 days, I resumed work, Jessi was angry because she thought I would stay home for a week as Bruno suggested but I can’t wait to resume work again.

A minute ago I received an email for mr Bruno, I have to deliver it to him, I never wanted to, after what happened, I was very shy to interact with him again, I had ignored his calls out if nervousness.

Unfortunately it’s my job to do this, so there’s no escape.

I looked over towards his office, he is not there, I got up and walked to Jessi.

“Do you know where Mr Bruno is?”

“I think he is in the photo department, check him there”.

I nodded and walked towards the corridor.

“Emmm Beauty can you throw this into the trash for me?”

May , Ferd’s assistant ordered, she extended her hand holding an empty smoothie can her classic finger nails matched with the colour of the bottle , would make one think she choosed it for that purpose.

I made a move to accept but then Jessi cuts in.

“You are not handicapped. May, are you? Kathy is enough pain, don’t even try imitate her..”She snapped.

“I never mentioned you, Jessi, and who is imitating kathy, Beauty is an adult who can her own make decisions, stop barking like a bit*ch.. she is not your daughter”.

Jessi stood up ready to go physical with her. I had to stop her before things get heated.

“I dare you May, because Ferd have seen your tiny tities, will never make you toy with me”.

“Jessi…. please”.

I tried to calm her.

“Really , you dragged the manager into this, you are really stubborn, ain’t scared of losing your job right? You got alot of nerves, but you gonna cry soon”.

May snapped back.

“May…”.

She looked at me angrily and hissed, ignoring me.

Then she threw the can into the trash and went back to her desk.

“That’s it, you take your own shit by yourself, you can’t order her around , your no boss of her, you can only toy with Fred on bed don’t you toy with my friend”.

I rolled my eyes in frustration.

“Please Jessi it’s okay, please just stop already”.Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

I pleaded.

“You’re just jealous of our relationship! Bitter bitch!”

Angry May suddenly clapped back.

Oh great , she got mad and they are not going to listen to me, I decided to let them be.

I walked out of the office and went towards the photo department.

Just like Jessi suggested, luckily I found him.

He was supervising a photoshoot of the new models.

I envied each of them, their body proportions, slim waist and that spot lights

I walked slowly over to him.

“Mr Bruno”I whispered.

He turned and gazed at me, his gaze could make any lady jealous of not having him to herself alone.

I felt my ear hot probably red with shyness.

He said something to the camera man, and walked over to me.

He was staring into my soul, I can’t believe I was the one to avoid stares, he used to be the emo, the awkward one.

“You have a mail from my inbox, should I send ….”.

“So what’s going on here….”

Mr Hathaway asked, same moment, his manager Ferd walked in and greeted him respectively, his assistant must have told him that, Mr Hathaway was in the company at the moment.

“Look at him all saint up”.

I mumbled to myself.

“Sir, the new models are in for the photoshoots”

The director of photography replied.

“Where’s Kathy?”

Mr Hathaway demanded.

“I am here, I will be next for the photoshoots”.

Kathy walked , wearing our latest designer lingarie.

A make up artist followed, was about getting her ready for the photoshoot.

I just stood there like a Christmas tree, same with Bruno and some other trainees too.

“I have a suggestion”, Kathy snapped all of a sudden.

She brought out her phone from her F&F customized bag and showed Mr Hathaway.

“I found this trending on Twitter, guess what , this is an eye opener..”.

We all listened attentively , unsure what the image is all about.

She continued,”It’s a pic of our prince charming, dear Bruno, funny this image of him got even more rating than our summer designs, what if he model our designs…”.

Her eyes sparks with excitement.

“Think about it! He is a fashion icon, so it’s not a big deal if he model for his own company right?”she continued.

Everyone agreed to that. Kathy played her cards well, all she wanted was to work with Bruno for the photoshoot, that chance everygirl dream of, a chance to caress his hard abs and feel his touch and maybe get him to fall .. inlove…

She breaks in my thought

“He is handsome and perfect visual, with the both of us as the face of this company, I know we will take it to the next level and…”

“Kathy I am not a model”.

Bruno interrupted, with finality in his tone and arched brows.

Mr Hathaway cuts in.

“Well son, for the good of this company, you will have to model our designs, not a big deal, don’t you want our company to stand out?”

“I don’t think I can do this… there are professional male models to do the job”.

He opposed.

“Ofcourse you can! You look better than the models. Fred will take over from here”.

Mr Hathaway instructed and left the room.

Bruno was choiceless, he seem really uncomfortable with the situation, but he was very gentle to argue and fight for his own choice.

My gaze shifted from Kathy getting ready for the couple photoshoot then to Bruno.

I didn’t notice at first that he was staring but then our eyes met, he didn’t even blink, it’s like they’re asking for permission to go on or what?

I looked at Kathy to Mr Ferd, then back to him, unsure how to react to his intense stare.

Did they say anything about me and I didn’t know?

Why is he still staring at me, am I the one staring at him?

Bruno sighed.

“Alright I am in”.

Wow, what’s that all about?

The new models cheered loudly, having a guy like Bruno in their modeling department, is a dream come true.

Kathy rushed to grab him like a hungry dog.

The lights got set, and the photographers were getting ready for their shots, also the editing team.

I stood far at the corner of the room, watching everything, waiting to speak one on one with him so I can deliver my message.

“Please Pull off your shirt, sir Bruno”

The director instructed.

“Do I have to?”

“Yes please, get close to her, be more romantic, don’t be stiff, you can have a skin ship too”.

Lucky Kathy , her smiling eyes says it all, I wish I was the one in her place, but it can never happen not with a weight like mine and this face.

The jealousy was obviously written on the faces of other female models.

Bruno approached me unbuttoning his shirt.

My heart leaped, I gulped hard, unsure why he was coming to my direction.
