Piercing the Hearts Depths

Chapter 3

Photoshoot

After I showered, I went downstairs when I heard my father’s car. When I was in the foyer, I heard the voices of my father and mother in the living room, and I saw that they were very sweet. Is it really like that when you fall in love? Am I in love? Not either.

“Hey, daddy, I miss you,” I told him and hugged him. It’s been so long since we talked. We always video call, but it’s really different if it’s personal.

“I miss you, sweetie. How’s your 5-month stay in Paris?” Daddy told me while hugging

“Well, it’s really amazing since it’s Paris Fashion Week. And I attended a lot of fashion shows. I even met Blackpink member Jisoo at Dior Fashion Week.” I answered him excitedly.

“Well, that’s great. I know that it’s your dream to attend a lot of fashion shows, and you’ve met your favorite idol. By the way, do you have any plans for next month?” Daddy asked.

“Well, this upcoming week will be very hectic for me. I will just ask my manager if there are any plans for next month. Why, daddy?” I asked him.

“Next month, I have plans to go to Davao to visit your uncle George. Since it’s been so long since I went to Davao, I want to bring you there,” Daddy told me. “Okay, I will try to fix my schedule so I can come to you,” I answered him.

“That’s good to hear. I want to introduce you to someone. Well, I’ll just go to my room. Are you going home to your condo?” Daddy asked.

“Yes, tomorrow I will meet my friends,” I answered. I went to my room to watch my favorite series, Silo. That series is breath-taking and very interesting. Rebecca Ferguson is a very good actress, but it makes me stressed to think about how they can go out in the Silo.

I didn’t go home to my condo because I fell asleep watching a series. I went downstairs, ate breakfast, and went to my condo without taking a shower. And I called my friend to say sorry that I forgot that we were supposed to meet yesterday.

I dialed her number, and she answered. “You’re really such a b***h; you ditched me yesterday,” she said. Calling a b***h is normal for us since we’re friends and we don’t get really offended by each other.

“Sorry, I fell asleep while watching a series, you know, Silo. By the way, where were we supposed to go last night?”

“At the B&L bar, you know the guy is hoping,” she answered.

“Guy in hoping in your face, and who will accompany us?” I asked Samantha.

“You know we are friends, Zak and Daryl and Yasmin and their cousin,” Samantha said.

“Oh, okay, I’ll hang up the call. I am already in my condo.

It’s been a week since I went home here in the Philippines, and right now I am in a photoshoot for the brand Givenchy since I’ll be the face for the campaign in 2024.

“More fiercer Kalista, please like that very beautiful and sexy.” I heard the photographer.

“She really is the favorite; you know, maybe her parents paid for her to have this campaign.” I heard my other co-models well; it is not my fault if they choose to be on the cover.

When the photoshoot was done, I went to the dressing room and removed all my clothes. And I saw my other co-models who backstabbed me earlier.

One of my co-models went to my side and said, “Maybe your parents paid the brand for you to be the face of the campaign.”

I answered her coldly, “Why would my parents pay for me to have this shot when I get it with my own hard work?”

“Knowing that you are all full of yourself and do nothing, if you focus on yourself for the next time, you will be the chosen one,” I answered them mockingly and laughing. Well, I admit that I am a very straightforward person. If you talked badly to me, then, like wise.

“You are the only one who is full of yourself,” Cheska said.

“Well, that’s not my problem if you’re jealous. Bye anyway. See you next time.” I told her, and I winked, got my things, and went outside to go home. This stupid girl is making me stressed.

As I went inside the car, my manager, Sassy, asked, “What’s with the face, Kali?”

“Well, Cheska and her alipores are just, you know, being a b***h again,” I answered while my brows were frowning in anger.

“Those bitches are really jealous of you, and what did they say? She asked.

“They say that my parents paid the brand so I could be the face of the campaign.” I answered it lazily.

“That is really a bullshit accusation. Well, you are more beautiful and more sexier, so don’t mind them; they are just trying to make you feel bad about yourself,” she said.

I just sigh and remove my makeup. I did not remove it earlier because of Cheska and her alipores.
