A Woman's Worth (Book #1)

Chapter 4: Progress

Ahayah

"Good morning Ms. Hughes!" The president of Summer Seasons magazine said extending his hand out to me. I shook it and took a seat at the table where the other editors, and head liners were. I smiled at everyone and waited for the meeting to start.

"Okay well I'm calling this meeting to order." Mr. Murphy the president of the magazine called shuffling through papers and what looked like pictures of me. "Ms. Hughes, we've been studying your pictures and we want you to be the cover of summer seasons once again. And then to come back for all the other season magazines. Its just something about you that everyone wants to see. I must agree you are a very beautiful woman, who wouldn't want to see you." He explained.

"Thank you Mr. Murphy and I'd love to be the cover of the magazines." I replied smiling huge. "Okay then it's set. We'll be shooting the next summer seasons shoot this Friday at 8 o'clock a.m sharp. Oh and one more thing, we're having a party next Friday. I hope you can come." Mr. Murphy informed me. "Not a problem Mr. Murphy. I will be there." I smiled at everyone.

The meeting went on for another hour or so then we all got up saying our goodbyes. Now I'm home getting ready for my junior ballet class. My phone vibrated letting me know I had a new notification from twitter. I opened it up and there was a picture of me on the treadmill.

@J'Maica: Look at the infamous Ms. @A.Hughes getting her workout on. She all cute and stuff.

I smiled at the post and retweeted it. I ain't even know she followed me on here. Or did she just recently follow me. And wait when the hell did she take this picture? My smile soon turned into a frown cause I know in just a couple seconds or minutes Patience fina call or text me with some nonsense. Speak of the devil look at this crap.

"Yes Patience Miller?" I asked as I walked out my room grabbing my lunch from the fridge.

"So you moved on already huh?" She asked.

"Actually no. Tell your sources if they gone tell some tell it right." I snapped as I locked the door heading to my car.

"Yea whatever man. This same stud been everywhere you been. Let me find out you fuckin her." She snapped back.

"Girl please and if I was? We on break. What you worried about it for? I'm not doing nothing with nobody and I'm not lookin for nobody. You trippin. If you don't want nobody else with me, step yo shit up and get right." I snapped and hung up right in her face.

I know she gone show up to my studio later but I honestly can careless. She know better than to put her hands on me. That black eye let her know. "Goodafternoon everyone!" I called to the girls and their parents that are standing outside my studio. I unlocked the door and we all filed in. Everybody already knew to sign in so that's what they did.

"Heeeey sissy!" Analaa called with Ania hot on her heels. I pulled them both into a warm embrace then we pulled apart. "We gotta talk later sis." I whispered to her with a smile. She smiled back and turned to leave letting Jamaica and Arora in after her. "Ania go get dressed and make sure y'all dressing room clean and find Kalia and get her ready. She should be here soon." I told my niece as she skipped off to her friends like she aint hear me.

"Afternoon Ms. Hughes." Jamaica smiled approaching me. I shook her hand and she pulled me into a hug. She smelled soo good gaaaawd. I pulled away and looked down at Arora and said hi. She waved and looked up at Jamaica. "You good Niece Niece?" She asked her. Arora nodded her head and they did this weird handshake before Jamaica left.
