Back In The Game

CHAPTER 13

3rd Person's Pov

"Take a good rest, all right? Remember to drink warm water before sleeping." Linda reminded Aleah as she changed into her pajamas. They had long arrived at her Condo and she was currently getting ready to sleep.

"Yes. Take care on the way back." She said as soon as she opened the door. Linda nodded and went out. She is finally alone. She drank her water and went straight into bed to be comfortable. She was wondering if the game had ended and gone into the livestream.

'Looks like it's almost done.' She thought. She saw how skilled Kairi was and was impressed by the shot calls.

"And Onic Won!" It was announced by the MC. She smiled when she saw how Happy Kairi's team was, especially him.

'I guess this match made him redeem some of himself.' It wasn't long before the screen flashed SZE clapping and smiling like a proud girlfriend. She exited the livestream and turned off her iPad.

'So, SZE is there....' She thought to herself. She let her thoughts run through until she fell asleep.

In the backstage, Onic celebrated their win and invited some of their friends to dinner.

"I'll pass, I have something to do tonight," Kairi told his team. A lot of them complained about it.

"Aw come on Kairi."

"Come to dinner with us," Butsss begged.

"yeah, it's no fun without you there." Sanz puppy which made Kairi laugh.

"Sorry, but I need to go home because my family is waiting for me." his team finally understood and let him go.

But, before he could leave, Kiboy teased him that he might introduce SZE to his family which the others followed. Kairi quickly denied it and was about to argue when Coach Yeb stopped them.

"All right, all right don't let them get to you, go now." Coach Yeb pushed his back to the door.

Kairi sighed as one of his staff led him to his car and drove off.

'I'll be sure to get them a hearing when I return.' He held a grudge.

As the city lights turned into post lights as the road went on, Kairi thought of someone whom he met.

'I wonder what she is doing?' he thought to himself. He picked up his phone to search for someone on social media. As he hit the search button, it showed an update on that person.

'Model Aleah was seen going out of a restaurant.' Which was just posted earlier. He could see various articles and comments about her.

'I heard Aleah is going to be a guest at Mlbb boot camp event.'

'She's also got a close deal with Hermes.'

'I've heard of that! Hermes picked her as one of the models that they wanted to work with!'

'Not only she is an ambassador of Gucci and Prada, she's sealing a deal with Hermes?! She's so darn blessed!!'

As Kairi was busy scrolling through that forum he got a message from Coach Yeb saying that he was picked as one of the players for a cover shoot tomorrow afternoon for the upcoming mlbb boot camp event. He replied ok and closed his phone.

'I wonder if we will meet before the event.' He thought.

The next day arrived, and Aleah was greeted by her manager Linda at the countertop.

"Your schedule is clear for the day, anything you want to do?" Linda asked while typing something on her laptop.

"I don't know, I'll figure that out after breakfast." She's still in a daze. She ate pancakes and milk.

After a few minutes, Aleah regained her consciousness at full capacity. She opened her phone as she drank her milk.

"I received a message from Joanna." Aleah excitedly told Linda. She opened the message.

"What was it?" Linda asked, not looking at her.

Aleah smiled widely. I know what I'm going to do today." She said.

"Huh?" Linda didn't catch up to what she said. Aleah turned around to face Linda.

"Do you remember the one I've mentioned that she was picked to be a model team in the boot camp event? They're doing a cover shoot this afternoon and she invited me to check it out." She happily explained. She rushed to her room and found a suitable outfit.

"I might get to meet Venus and Wise so I must have to be decent and elegant!" She told herself. Linda took a peek into Aleah's room and saw that she was in deep thought. She smiled and walked towards her.

"Don't stress yourself too much, you have low blood pressure." Linda reminded her.

"I know, but I have to make an impression on the players and as Joanna's friend." She is worried because the star players in mobile legends might be there.

"I think if you dressed up too much, the players and the crew team might mistake you as a model instead of a friend of a model for that moment." Linda's advice made a point.

"Oh, right." She agreed because of that one incident with her friends that she was banned from her shoots because the photographer offered to photograph her as soon as she arrived in the middle of the shoot.

"it was hilarious though." She laughed when remembering that incident.
