107 Before The Accident 2 (1/2)

S&L Entertainment Agency, photo studio, V Magazine section corner.

”Look over here, yes, beautiful!” A cameraman praised as Sarah posed like a model. She didn't do anything much besides standing and smiled. Despite her cute figure, she brought charisma in herself. Her beautiful face was a plus to this photoshoot.

”Alright done! Thank you very much, Miss Ginga.” The cameraman handshake her hand. As she didn't have a reason to reject his gratitude, she shook her hand to him while smiling. ”You are a stunning woman. I hope in the future, I'll be working with you again. Ah, right! How about this, I have a photo contest this month. It'll be published in the national photo gallery in Tokyo. I want you to be my model because you're the perfect girl for my photo. Is it alright with you to once again work with me?”

”Eh? Me? But, I...” She pondered. She still had her tasks at the university.

She was finished with this one job and also her interview with the articles from V magazine. So, why should she work with this model job again?

”No, It'll be quick! Actually, this event not only for competition, but it is also an auction. The photo which they buy will be donated to the orphanage or the poor. It's this kind of competition. Later the most donated picture will be placed as the winner. So? How about it.”

She glanced at her pictures which he took. It was gorgeous. He really had the skill to enhance one picture to make a better impression. It was only two weeks after she became a model for V magazine. Her interview was finished and the last thing she needed to do was this photoshoot. It was over yet she felt something missing.

She looked at him and beautiful self in the picture. ”Hmm, I guess one picture will be alright.”

He smiled as he shook her hand again. ”Great! Then, I'll see you next week at Meiji Jingu. It's the place that I choose for this theme competition. Beauty and Gods. I'll let you wear kimono later. My team will help you do the makeup and hair. I'll text you the time when will meet. Nice to working again with you.”

”Likewise.”

In the next two months, Sarah was doing her job as a model while doing her tasks in university. It was after her beautiful face was in the national photo gallery. They were curious to know more about her.

Simultaneously, V magazine released their new edition, starring Sarah on the cover page. She became busier each day when suddenly a lot of model job offers came.

Her name became more well-known in Japan due to her beauty and story. She urged the female readers, especially the people who were the same age as her, to never give up any dream they had.

Sarah wrote her dream to be a foreign ambassador. She discovered she liked to learn new languages and she loved her country. Right now, she only mastered seven of it, her reached goals at least twenty. It was a lot of efforts and training to master those languages.

She wasn't smart, in fact, she was a slow learner. But her spirits which pushed her to move forward and overcome her stereotype from people.

She grew up as a businessman's daughter, she knew how she was being treated by her family contrary to outside treatment. She was rumored as campus belle, yet she was arrogant, spoiled and bi*ch.

It was not her intention to show her smug expression with others. It was just the way she was. It may perhaps due to her past experience where a lot of bullying from school, they looked at her as someone easy to bully.

Her height was also the reason she was bullied before, she was high enough yet compared to her friends and Daniel, she was much shorter.

She didn't have a choice to put her facade face to cover her weak self. Although she looked strong at outside, inside, Daniel knew about her soft heart.

He was always there when she needed him. She would complain and cry if anything happened to her. He was also regretful. Mostly about her bullying was about him or her rich status.

She stated in the magazine articles, she was happy to be born in her family, yet she didn't wish to be rich for people to hate her. She wished them to look at her as herself, not her family background.

It was the reason she worked hard to prove and improve herself.

Contrarily from her expectation to pursue her dream, in her campus life, she suddenly fell in love with modeling job. To be precise was to be a magazine model.

She was fond of cute things, including cute fashion. The job she took was mostly about her wearing cute designs.

Beside she gained more famous, money and acknowledgments. She got a free dress from designers she liked. It was bliss for her.

A sudden call from her smartphone. It was her daddy. She grabbed it and pressed the green button. She said, ”Hello, Daddy?”

{Sacchan! You are a model? How can you never tell us? We were shocked when we saw your face everywhere in billboard and magazine!}

”I was in billboard as well? Hmm, that's weird. Anyway, yes, I started modeling about a month ago. I'm sorry I didn't tell you. It just happens.”

Her daddy fell silent. {Sacchan, are you really not interested to be the heiress? Of course, I'll support your dream yet I wish you'll be the one who leads this company later in the future.}

She shook her head while biting her finger flesh. She said,”...No, Daddy. My sister is much suitable to be the heiress. I'm not interested in business.”

{That...Hahh...Kezia, your sister, is too ambitious. I don't know if the position will be the right choice for her. I'm afraid it will bring unfortunate to the company.}

”Daddy! What are you saying to your own daughter?! Ambitious is good, it leads people to work harder and better. She has goals and target that is something you must admire for a people like that. Can you see her works in the company? She's a pretty good, right? And, I'm also ambitious, you know?” She pouted her lips from his father statement.

{I know, I know. I saw her, she was a good example of a capable employee. But, Sacchan...nevermind. About ambitious you talked about. She was a little bit different from your definition. As her father, I noticed something that her 'way' to achieve it was a little ruthless. You're ambitious, but that's it. You are still normal like everyone else.}

”Daddy, what do you mean Sister Kezia is 'ruthless'? And, I'm 'normal' like you said?” She frowned perplexedly.

{'Normal', it was something you usually do, Sacchan. Your way to perceive the world. I read your articles, and as your parent, I'm sorry for not realizing your suffering all this time, maybe I was so busy from works, I didn't notice you. I was shocked when you didn't want to go to high school which we chose instead went to the regular one. Turn out there was that reason. Don't forget your original dream okay. This model thingy is only a short time, alright? Sacchan, I and your mother will support and wish for your dream to come true.}
