First day of shoot with the company which had an aesthetic totally different from her was full of nervous jitters. Amara was for the first time after many years felt like she was losing her mind, like she was doing it for the first time all over again.

All the years spent posing in front of cameras, modeling, walking on the ramps, having face on the cover pages of magazines were put into waste with the idea of working with Maroon. That day she didn't bring her car like she always does on the first day of shooting, instead she took a cab to the indoor studios owned by Maroon, situated on the top floors of Maroon headquarters.

As soon as she stepped out of elevator, she found Dylan with a guy who had dirty blond hair in a messy style, he wore a pair of shorts with a navy blue shirt. 

"Oh thank God you are here-" he exclaimed as he saw Amara walking into studios. "-meet Dustin the one I talked about" he did mention the guy who had been working on this project with him and they actually had some great ideas. They may not be very reckless she had been doing but they were quite innovative. 

"I am sorry if I am late" no she wasn't, she was supposed to report at ten and it was five minutes to ten, but she was being polite. Amara being polite was shock even to Amara herself.

"Oh no no you are on time. It was just me panicking since your team came with your assistant earlier on their own"

"Oh yeah they are always like this, no need to worry" Amara told Dustin and Dylan who were almost all over her.

"Okay than let us prepare for the day" Dustin enthusiastically clapped his hands and in no time he held her bag and coat and ushered her to her vanity room. Amara rubbed her hands together and blew out a long breath. She was totally nervous but she needed to calm down. The naked Amara Sullivan part of her mind told her it was all okay but the one small teeny tiny part of her mind told her that this was going to do all of favor to her reputation.

Even though she doesn't like to admit it, it was clear as the day that her reputation was not so good. Blogs, articles, magazine covers write very ill things about her and honestly she herself didn't do things that could favor her. But this particular deal. This deal was going to do much more. She would nurse her wounded image with the title of Maroon with her.

Knock

Sydney walked in. And her mood soured. She was the last person she wanted to see but couldn't ignore her because of her image. "Amara keeping Sydney with you even after all this will give the world image that you are better than what you let people know" these were the words of her manager. He had been working so hard to build up the reputation she had lost long ago when she first decided to get naked on screen, when she tried to support her friends the O'Brien brothers and in return got bashed for it, when she got drunk and then drove around getting arrested, when she got traffic tickets on her name, when she screamed at paparazzi, when she threw her middle finger at people trying to take her photo.

So hiring back Sydney was a balm to the woumd. And on top of that working with Maroon would further heal it, this would have been the best deal she had gotten for herself. Her manager, her pr manager, her staff everyone was happy with her working with Maroon. And even Amara behind all this hesitation of working with someone so . . . Innocent and pure, as she likes to say this, would benefit her in more than one way.

Before getting into shooting she decided to watched some videos of the coo and master mind behind Maroon, Nathaniel Sinclair. And it would be wrong to say that he was a rich snob or arrogant but he was the sweetest person she would have come across. He was a true gentleman. When he was asked;

What are your future plans for Maroon as well as your personal life?

As far as Maroon is concerned I am going to make it a global brand for myself I want a family so bad.
