And being here is just as refreshing as you'd hoped. The new sights, the night life, the lights!
There is always a new restaurant to try, an event to go to, new people to meet. never a boring day!
Unfortunately, the city was far more expensive then you had anticipated. Your savings account was quickly drained.
You had to get a job, and fast. You sent your Résumé to anywhere you thought might hire you, but never heard anything back. Until a Modeling agency Emailed you, letting you know that your Application to the intern position was accepted.
You had wrongly Assumed that a paid Internship would be easy. Go get some coffee, deliver these papers to so-and-so, do small tasks.
But no.
You were run ragged, and had so much piled on you. And the models themselves seemed to be the worst. Well, some of them. Do this, do that, this water isn't cold enough, this coffee is too sweet, Get me this, Get me that, go get food, this food isn't good enough- EVEN THOUGH IT'S EXACTLY WHAT I ASKED FOR.
But a new model turned everything upsidedown. He's known for his soft looks. Long eyelashes and slender figure. He constantly asks you to get him things, but never seemed to complain like the others who would have you run around. He did have some odd requests like "Read this for me" he'd say, handing you his tablet with an Email on its screen. You assumed he had bad eyesight or something.
But the truth is that he just wanted to keep you around as much as possible. The model Became very attached to the only Genuine person in his life. The only person without an alterior motive for helping him.
