Family Over Love

Chapter 21

"Hi! Nice to meet you!" I greeted him with a smile on my face.

"Nice to meet you too Athena, no need to be so formal. We will get used to each other." He smiled. He is a bit older than me. He looks like mamshie Mia.

Ohh!! So he's gonna be my manager! Omg! I can't deny the fact that he's handsome. Okayy soo ERASE ERASE!!!! He's only my manager and that's it! Gosh Athena!

When I arrived home I'm so happy that I survived my first ever photoshoot as a model. The whole week was like that. I'm always posting new pictures on instagram. My followers were increasing so fast beacause of my agency. I also added the gmail account of my agency on my bio for collaborations and endorsements.

I met a lot of new friends. Though some of them were not that approachable because they don't want to become close to me, sabi nila sipsip lang daw ako kaya mabilis akong sumikat.

My manager also introduced me to Veronica which is ang magiging personal assistant ko. "Hi ma'am Athena!" She excitingly said. I'm actually getting used to when they are calling me 'Ms. Athena' or 'ma'am Athena.'

"Hi! I'm so excited to work with you!" I greeted her. Almost all of the people here were only speaking English so I felt like I was an international model because of the athmosphere here. My accent improved also maybe because I speak English more often.

I'm getting a little popular internationally. Maybe because of the brands from different countries who wants a collaboration with me.

[Ma'am were going to Los Angeles today we will meet Mr. Benjamin tomorrow. You need to pack some clothes now.] Veronica informed me while we're on a Facetime call.

"Ohh.... who is that?" I asked her while I'm doing my skincare.

[You don't know him? He is the CEO of this agency ma'am.] She said while organizing my schedules.

"Ohh... Benjamin Smith? Am I right?"

[Yes ma'am]

I went to my closet and choose some clothes. "How many days?" I asked her.

[3 days only]

"What clothes should I bring?" I asked her while showing her the clothes.

[Try something formal and bring some casual in case.]

"Okay."

After that, I already ended the call because I need to charge my iPad. I brought a big suitcase and organized my clothes. I brought my skincare and some make ups.

"Ate!" Andrea knocked at the door and went inside my room.

"What?" I asked while drying my hair.

"Nasa baba na si Ate Veronica." My brows furrowed. Omg! Sobrang aga niya! It's 9 am! Our flight is 1:00! Geez sobrang aga I don't want to rush!

"Okay tell her give me ten minutes." I told Andrea. She left the room and I continued doing my makeup. I'm only wearing a black sweatpants partnered with a gray croptop. I partnered it with my rubber shoes.

I didn't bother to fix my hair since I'm running out of time. I don't want Veronica to wait for me. I picked up my suitcase and my sling bag and went downstairs.

I saw Veronica eating breakfast kasama sila Andrea sa breakfast table. "Kanina ka pa ba?" I asked her while fixing my things on the couch and making sure I didn't leave anything.

"Hindi naman po. Pagka dating ko po sinabihan na po kayo ni Andrea." She smiled at me and she took a sip on her coffee. I only ate pancakes and some bread since I'm planning to eat at the lounge.
