Heels And Feels

Chapter 2

“I need to go shopping; I have a lot of things to get.”

“Slow down, Kayla. You have a week before the event.” Harvey said as she whipped the eggs to

be turned into the dough

They had met after the audition and two weeks later, she was in her apartment baking cookies.

Markyla had found out that she had moved in from New Jersey to partake in the contests and

was currently lodging in a hotel so she had invited her to come stay at her place until she got her

own apartment. It had been five days and so far, Markyla had nothing to complain about. Harvey

was funny and also very helpful with chores, something Markyla didn't fancy. In these five days,

she had eaten more that she had the week before. Also, she called her Kyla. She loved it.

"You sound like you have something to wear for the meeting." She cast a side glance at Harvey

who was licking off raw dough from her fingers.

"You sound like you have nothing at all in your closet, which can hardly close by the way."

Chuckling, Markyla slammed her phone down. "Okay, first, you know it's going to be the first time

we meet with the CEO personally. That is not something I take lightly. He needs to see why we

were chosen to represent his brand."

Harvey gave her an intense stare "Is it just that, or are there other plans?"

Her eyes rolled in their sockets "You always see things the opposite of how I do." She grabbed

her phone again and looked up Logan Wood on google. "He's cute though."

"Yeah, and I hear he sleeps with all his models."

Markyla tried to hide the disappointment on her face. "Well, it's the fashion industry, what's

new?

She stuffed cookies in her mouth as they went around the boutique, not chic behaviour but away

from all the cameras, and fancy dresses, she loved to be herself.

"Check out this" she lifted a dark green dress to Harvey. "I need something sexy, something

beautiful and something radiant. I don't know, what do you think?"

Harvey considered. "I think that's a little too much, but I think that's exactly what is required."

Maykyla nodded "First choice, let's look round some more."

They got busy, checking dresses, jewelry, and accessories, and argued while making a final

decision.

They left the mall, went for dinner and then went back to the apartment where Markyla had

enough time to think about her life. All she ever wanted was to stand out, and the universe gave

her the beauty. It also gave a lot of girls that beauty which made standing out an issue. She loved

fashion and since she discovered the power of social media, she had taken influencing to another

level. She did pretty well; she was able to afford a nice apartment, good food, and other things

of life, but she needed more. She needed magazine covers, she needed huge paying deals and

was ready to do anything to get her there.

Now, she had come this far, and she realized anything is possible. All shareholders of Blaze

Fashion would be at the meeting which was to hold in the conference hall of the auditorium and

she wanted to make a statement with her appearance. After the meeting, they would be

segmented to the different collections of the brand. She had carried out a lot of research on the

company when she got the first invite mail and then she had done some more after she made

the shortlist.

Blaze was a dream come true, and so she wanted everything to go according to plan. She was

pleased at the progress and she had also made a new friend so that was a plus
