A Mother's Will

Chapter 10

The very next day arrived, with Jovana having in her hands what she had been searching for for so many years. She freshened up after her jog, and before joining the breakfast table, Jovana made the announcement official on the Instagram handle of Jmml. Also today, the family announced that she came here for work and will be leaving tomorrow, and the glow in the eyes of Ramya and Akira was very prominently seen, so Jovana added the but, saying, I will be back in 7 days to end it. And Jade and Jovana then left for the office for dress selection at every launch; after all, she is supposed to be the best dressed. After hours of long discussions, they finally selected 10 outfits more than needed just in case something went wrong. It was late in the evening, and still they had ideas coming to their minds and they were making changes. Jaden then came calling them and was also so inclined towards fashion that he could not resist taking part. It was about midnight. Ayaan interfered with their talks and reminded them that they had to leave for Mumbai within an hour. They all looked at each other and gave each other each other a laugh.

They went back to Gratia, packed up, and left almost immediately without notice, but Karanveer watched his daughter until the car faded away in the dark. Soon the sun rose and the stars faded in the light. Jovana had arrived in Mumbai via plane, of course. First, after arriving, I saw the event location and checked the arrangements; they were going to be the same in every place, and so were the models, but not the dresses.

After the showroom visit, Jovana went to look at the model rehearsals of the model going to walk the ramp for Jmml. Jovana was petrified by the way they were walking—stern postures, ugly and vulgar poses—and they would basically destroy the event, said Jovana to Raman, the next CEO of the Indian branches of Jmml. Raman defended himself and said these are the best in India, ma'am. If you want, we can make changes and improve. IMPROVE? This is not going to the ramps of JMML; get the models from Milan and Paris right away. These women are incapable of Jmml; although she sounded rude, she made a firm confrontation about him being irresponsible and that this was his last mistake and none would be tolerated ahead. This conversation went on fire, and everyone was talking about it by the time she was going back. When Tina the supermodel heard about it, she went on to stop Jovana while she was leaving and called for her to compete. Jovana dismissed it at first, but Tina took her by hand and to the ramp and said, You don't dare, baby girl. This was a serious insult to Jovana, and Tina said, Let the poll decide it then. If I win, said Tina, we will all become your permanent models, so let's get the photos. What photos asked Jovana for the poll? It has to be a live ramp walk," said Jovana. Now Tina was a little off, but she agreed and said she wanted to change.

The poll was not held on JMML or Tina's Instagram but instead on the official Instagram handle. Tina changed to something very seductive, and she walked, showing her thighs and long legs, hair flowing from the fan; she was that actress everyone wanted on their lap wearing that Urfi Javed dress. While Jovana did not change, she wore the same black outfit—a black sweatshirt and a white blazer with white trousers—and the melody heels that Jmml had launched recently. With her usual elegant choice of jewels, she walked as if she were the boss.
