I'm on my way to my boses office for a meeting. Over the phone she described it as being a "life changing opportunity". How life changing could it be I'm 17 for god's sake. I have only been working here a week or so. This is one of the highest ranked modeling agencies in Europe, I was extremely lucky to have this job. Im still baffled by the way I got it.
Flashback
We had just arrived at the shop. Prom was in only a few weeks, so I had to find the dress today. I had tried on at least 7 dresses already. I decided I was going to ask a worker here for some advice, considering all my friends were busy trying on their own dresses. I went out to the main enterance of the shop to look for someone who works here. I spot an older lady standing at the counter typing away on the computer. I guess she will be able to help me.
"Hi sweetheart. What can I do for you?' she says kindly. She seems just like my grandmother.
"Well, I was wondering if I could have your help picking out a dress for my senior prom. I have been looking around for a while, but I can't seem to find the right dress." She nods and steps out from behind the desk, guesturing for me to follow her.
"So what kind of dress are you looking for? Ballgown, Mermaid style, Sweetheart neckline, Vintage? Any specific color?Brand Name? Hmm?" she goes on and on. She has my brain rattled. I have no idea what I want. All I know is that I want it to look good.
"I don't have a clue, to be completely honest. What do you think would look good?" I ask, hoping that she will be able to point me in the right direction.
She stands back and stares at me for a few seconds. I feel like I have been put under a microscope and someone is zooming in on every aspect of my body.
'"Have a seat here. I know just the one." She says and scurries down the hallway.
About 5 minutes later she re appears at the end of the hall guesturing for me to follow her. I get up and walk down the long hallway. At the end, I see her standing next to a changeroom with her hands on her hips and a smile plastered on her face.
I walk into the stall and see a long pale green, chiffon dress. It is beaded along the bust area with different colors of green and clear jewels. Its absolutley beautiful.
'"Sooooo? You like?' she asks anxiously.
"I-I'm speechless. It's stunning!" I say, now almost as excited as she is.
After I get the dress on, I walk out of the dressing room to look in the mirrior. I hope I look as good as I feel in this dress. I open the door and walk up onto the platform. I'm blown away. I absolutley love this dress.
'"Wow. That looks great on you!" I turn around expecting to see one of my friends. Instead I see a lady I have never seen before. She has light blonde hair, slicked back into a sleek bun. She is wearing a very trendy knee length dress and heels.
"Oh um, thank you." I say quietly.
'"What agency are you with?" she asks casually. Oh, she thinks I'm a model.
"Oh no. I'm um, not a model. I'm was just lookimg for a prom dress. I think I found it." I say turning around to see the lady who had previously helped me standing next to the lady who I am now speaking to.
"Well I would like for you to take my card. Give me a call whenever you get a chance." She walks over and hands me a small buisness card.
Elizabeth Stone
C.E.O Runway Ready inc.
She has her phone number and address at the bottom of the card as well. Did she just offer me a job?
I turn around and see she is no longer standing there. The lady who had found this dress for me, taking her spot.
'"Oh my god. Do you know who that is? That's Elizabeth Stone. THE Elizabeth Stone. She owns one of the most sucessful modeling companies in all of Europe!" She says pratically jumping with excitement.
'"Oh really? She gave me her buisness card. Does that mean she's offering me a job?" I ask.
'"I think so! Well now that i've helped you find your gown, I think you're ready to go." she says as we make our way to the fron tof the shop for me to pay for my dress. I see four of my friends standing by the cash register talking amongst them selves.
'"Hi guys! You'll never believe what just happened?!'" After I explained to them what had happend we all payed for our dresses and headed home.
End of flashback
