ELIZABETH COULDN'T BELIEVE IT.

Her head felt like it was being squished between a boulder, standing in the middle of a chaotic moment.

The only thing she was looking forward to that night was for the convention to be over, so that should could see Billie. But problem after problem seemed to be going on, and everyone was going to her for answers.

"Elizabeth, look. All you have to do is walk down the runway, turn around, and walk back. That's it!"

"Yes, Derick but I'm a manager, not a model."

"Well, we're a bit desperate right now."

"Why don't you do it?"

"Nobody wants a bald thirty-year-old dressed in a two-piece with his stomach hanging out, alright?"

Elizabeth stands in the midst of the large chatting crowd. A crowd in which was expecting a small runway show as an event during the convention. A runway show that was missing a model that fell ill last minute.

She argues with the L.A locations manager, the man that seemed to go to Elizabeth with the issue due to not knowing how to do his job correctly.

"Listen to me, Derick. This isn't on me, got it? You're in charge of this show, I'm here to smile, look pretty, and find new investors."

"You're cute, you've got a good body, you know how this works, and you're a female. I have no one else."

"Jesus Christ, do I have to do everything myself." She grumbles passing by him.

"Where are you going?" He shouts after her.

"To handle it!" She returns the tone, going backstage to tens of strangers ready to walk the runway. L.A location models.

"Can I have everyone's attention, please?" She calls, glancing around.

She groans as they talk over her, not paying attention. So she finds a chair, stepping up onto it in her heels. "Hey! Listen up!"
