The Man I Married

Chapter 4

"Do you wanna try?"

"But I don't know how to ramp."

"Come on, they teach you of course, the proper posture, how to walk and project, etc.. There's a free training before they let you ramp."

"What if, I'm not that good in it. You know I spent most of my time inside the office before, I don't have any idea about this kind of work."

"Chai, knowing you...this is like an easy pissy to you. You are tall, slim and very pretty, just perfect and fit for this work."

After a month of annoying Dean did, I decided to accept Dean offer to be a model in his agency. At first I was too embarrassed to work with so much people but sooner later I get to used to it.

"How's your first catwalk, Chai? Is it fun?" Dean excitedly asked when the event ended.

"Sort of, still felt nervous."

"That's normal but believe me you can do better in the future."

"Do you think so?"

"Yes, I heard you catched the audience's attention tonight."

"I hope that's true. I'm more at ease now."

"What about a bottle for celebration?"

"Sure. Give me time to fix myself first. I feel itchy because of the makeup."

"Yeah, go ahead. I'll wait you on the lobby."

I went to the bathroom where exclusively for the models only.
I saw my colleagues there fixing also themselves.

"Congratulation Chai, you did a good job." said Bryne.

"Thank you."

"I hope to see and work with you again on another project."

"Yeah, me too. Looking forward to work with you again."

"Here's my card, call me when you need a company." he put his card to my pocket and winked. Then left the bathroom.

I just smile. Dean already warned me about flirty models.

"What took you so long? I already rooted here waiting for you."

"I'm sorry, the bathroom is full."

"And who's the first candidate?" Dean sudden asked.

"What candidate?" I asked thinking what he referred to.

"You funk, I know they won't let you go easily."

It takes a moment before I get what Dean trying to tell.

I bring out the calling card inside my pocket and gave it to him.

"As I expected." he smile.

"You can take that, I'm not interested." I said to him. Teasing.

"As if I am. In this industry, you can't trust those six pocket body. They change partner more than they change outfits."

"You know better."

"Of course, I'm once a victim." he said laughing.

I rolled my eyes as if I'm not interested to know. "Let's go before you start to telling your betrayal story." I said joking and walk first.

"Wait, hear me first."

"I had enough for myself, I don't want to hear yours."

"It's different story."

"I don't care."

"I thought were friends. "

"Yes, we are. See, we both fool and being fooled."

"Correct!"

We laughing loud while walking toward his car.

"It's your treat." Dean said.

"I'm broke." I said joking.

"Come on, I saw you received your check a while ago."

"You have sharp eyes."

"Of course. Finally I can drink without paying any cent."

"Asshole."

"You too."
