BS01: His Wicked Billionaire

Prologue

Drunk

"Nice shots!" natutuwang sigaw ng photographer sa harapan ko habang sunod-sunod ang nakakasilaw na flash ng camera sa akin.

I smiled seductively and looked intently at the camera.

Hinahangin ang buhok habang patuloy sa pagkuha ng litrato ang photographer, inilapit niya pa lalo ang camera sa akin at tumitig ako roon ng mas malalim.

"One more!" sabi niya at yumuko ng kaunti para mas lumapit pa sa akin ang camera. I slowly caressed my deep collarbone and parted my reddened lips a little.

"Damn.. you got it, Farida!" sigaw ng manager ko na nasa gilid at nakatayong nanonood sa akin.

I'm standing in front of them wearing a paneled bodice mesh mini dress with victoria line necklace and Tiffany & Co. earrings, and paired with black pumps.

The dress was fine... I posed in different angles.

"Okay, good job, Farida!" ngumiti ang photographer at nag-thumbs up sa akin bago niya ibinalik ang atensyon sa camera.

That was the last shot of me before my photoshoot is finally ended, pumalakpak ang mga staff maging ang ibang modelo at maligaya akong binati puno ng paghanga.

Lumapit sa akin ang manager ko at ibinalot ako sa puting towel na dala niya. "You're so beautiful, ang galing-galing mo!" masayang sabi niya at inalalayan ako paalis ng studio.

Iginiya niya ako paalis doon at hinatid ako ng pasok sa dressing room. Umupo ako at hinintay siyang lumapit sa malapit na table at inabot sa akin ang bottled water. "Your shots is really amazing! You look really beautiful in it..." she smiles.

"You have a new endorsement." she said suddenly and got busy choosing on what I'm going to wear.

"What kind of endorsement?" I asked curiously and didn't move from my seat.

She chuckles. "Let's say I made a few phone calls... but I think this is good for your career, you are a really talented girl. I would like to see you in more interviews, more magazines.. and this brand suits you perfectly." may hinila siyang isang dress at ipinakita sa akin, umiling ako at muli siyang pumili ng bago.

"But that also means, you need another photoshoot soon, so we need to work again." she smiles and winks at me.

"What kind of endorsement?" ulit na tanong ko at hinintay ang magiging sagot niya.

"But if you really want to know... It's an endorsement for an expensive cosmetic brand. We shoot photos and a short commercial, and you will be their new face, for the first time. And you will get paid a lot for it and... if you would be interested... we could do it again in the future." I was surprised and stared at her for a moment.

"Are you sure? I mean-" she cut me off.

"Of course, when have I ever been unsure? Listen, no one can resist you Farida.. you're always striking in ravishing beauty. I'm not saying this because I am your manager... I'm saying this because you have a bright future ahead." I smiled, looking for this in the future.

"When will I start?" tanong ko.

"Well... maybe next week? The exact day hasn't been said yet so I'll wait for an update." she answered, may kinuha siyang bagong dress naka-hanger pa iyon at ipinakita sa akin.

She smiles. "Maybe we get another photoshoot for this project. I mean, that's what they would ask me to do.. so, what do you say? Are you in?" my answer was a nod. Inabot niya sa akin ang dress na nagustuhan ko at nagsimulang hubarin ang suot ko.
