15 No Liability. (1/2)

Marcel followed the manager all the way to the president's office, completely unsure of what might happen.,

<Avian, do you know why the president called me?> Marcel asked as he had started feeling quite nervous.

[No I don't, I was not monitoring them] Avian replied logically.

<Can you monitor people?> Marcel asked curiously

[If you require it, I can monitor people] Avian replied.

<Why didn't you say anything?> Marcel asked like he was cheated.

[You never asked in the first place] Avian replied feeling wronged.

Before Marcel could say anything else, they were in front of the president's office. Sherry's manager looked at Marcel who had been looking zoned out and gave him last-minute instructions.

”Try not to offend the man, okay?” the manager said and then opened the door to the office. They were welcomed by a secretary who went to inform the president of their arrival and Marcel was led inside by the secretary and watched as Sherry's manager left.

The secretary smiled at him and opened the door for him but did not go in with him and instead closed the door behind him. The first thing Marcel saw was a man that looked to be either in his late 20's or early 30's sitting behind a large desk.

He had broad shoulders and a full head of blonde hair and grey eyes paired with thick eyebrows that were slightly arched at their ends. He also had a straight nose with a high nose bridge and a pair of thin lips with defined cheekbones and jawline.

Marcel studied him for a while trying to compare him with his president from his previous life who looked like he could have been his father. Besides, most people who were not in the public eye had completely forsaken fitness. His female perspective could not help but admire the specimen in front of him.

The president stood up to introduce himself and Marcel was surprised by courteous he was.

”I'm Damien, Damien Matteo, but just call me Damien,” Matt said with a smile. It was Marcel's first time to see someone who preferred to be called by their name on the first meaning.

”I'm Marcel, nice to meet you, Mr. Matteo,” Marcel said as he shook Matt's hand.

Matt did not attempt to correct his form of address since they had just met, and if he was more comfortable with addressing him as Mr Matteo he would not force him.

”Sit,” Damien said as he pointed to the chair on the other side of his desk as he too sat down. Marcel sat down after him and looked at him quizzically. He was not sure why he was called by him in the first place.

”I heard you are working with Sherry” Damien started.

”Yes, she asked me to be part of her music video” Marcel replied happily as he had gone straight to the topic and had not bothered with small talk.

”Mmmh, and you also applied to be a model?” Damien asked as he looked at Marcel's portfolio.

In the beginning, he just looked at it because he was curious about who had caught Sherry's eye to the point she decided to pay him from her own pocket, but when her manager showed him his portfolio he was intrigued.

Marcel had perfect chemistry with the camera and he as a person who has also made appearances in movies was able to see how much potential he had.

”Yes, I met her when I had dropped off the portfolio at the front desk,” Marcel said.

”We haven't been managing any models yet, but we are in the process of opening a subsidiary branch that is specifically catered to models,” Damien said with a smile.
