After the first photoshoot I nearly lost it. Walking out of the building tying my hair back into a high ponytail, sighing. I looked over at Elli who was currently on the phone, he opened up the door for me and I got into the passenger seat

He closed the door walking around the car opening up his door getting in. He sat there on the phone sighing

" Anthony, move my 7 o'clock meeting to 9, the 9 to tomorrow... Yes I know i- okay, yes... She will, I know... Okay"

He rubbed the bridge of his nose leaning back groaning. I tilted my head looking at him, seeing from the corner of my eye as his mother and brother walked out. I waved to them smiling, they waved back getting into a sharp black Ford

I looked back at Elli and he sighed, hanging up the phone tucking it into his pocket. Loosening his tie just a bit, he started the car and began driving out of the lot, he looked over at me blowing out a big huff

" Tomorrow you'll have to come into work with me, and see everything that I do... Meet everyone I have to work with al-

" Wait... Tomorrow? All day?"

" Uh, yeah... Is that an issue?"

" Around 5 I gotta go see my brother's... I'm going with my aunt to take them to their councilors"

" Councilors?"

" My family's had it rough... They're still not over our father's death"

" Oh... Right.. Will you need a ride?"

" I'm sure my aunt can come get me"

" You sure?"

He looked over at me. I stared at him raising an eyebrow

" You just want out of work. Don't you?"

" Okay... So what? I've never taken a sick day in 6 years. I'm allowed to leave early"

I laughed grabbing my phone. Opening it up seeing a message from someone I don't know, I clicked onto the message request. Looking at the pictures they sent, clicking on them. Fear traveled up my body

" Uh... Elli.."

" What?"

" I think the rumors are starting... Look"

I turned my brightness up handing him my phone, he glanced down at it looking back up at the road. Stopping at the red light he looked down and he sighed handing me my phone back

" Just ignore it for now"

" But wha-

" Nothing's going to happen to you..."

" Elli you're the face of a model company while in the processing of taking over the worlds sixth largest lingerie company. Your face is all over the place, people know you... People don't know me. They're going to question and-

" And I'll deny it. Don't worry about it.."

I looked down at my phone staring at the photos and the message 'is this you?'. I turned my phone off stuffing it in my pocket, I looked out of the window looking at the billboards and signs passing us by

" Liz"

" Hm?"

I looked over at him and he sighed looking over at me taking a sharp turn

" You can trust me about this.. No one is going to hurt you"

" Yeah... Okay"

I looked away rolling my eyes leaning against the window, thinking about what Mark did to me then before that Elli kissing me. I sat there biting my lower lip in silence, the car came to a stop and I looked around. Seeing as we were parked in a nice area, I turned back in my seat seeing a restaurant across the street from us
