LOGINAfter hanging up, she rushed back to where the stylist was patiently waiting for her return. "I'm sorry! It was my grandmother." Alexa explained.
"It's alright, no big deal. Anyway, there is not much left to do. Here put this on, so we can see how it looks on you." The stylist handed her a knee-length evening dress. It was beautifully designed, but she could not find any label on it at all.
"Ms. Garcia has designed this dress. It has not been released yet. It's going to be a part of her collection for her next fashion show." The stylist proudly informed Alexa after noticing the way she kept studying the dress.
"Wow! Are you for real? Are you saying that this is an exclusive design that has not been seen by anyone yet?" Alexa was stunned and rooted to the ground, hearing what the stylist told her.
"Why are you still standing there? We don't have all day!" Ms. Garcia scolded Alexa, who was still unable to move.
"I'm sorry! I am coming... I am going... I'm changing right now." She put the dress on in a rush. She was amazed at the one of a kind exclusive evening dress that would change her life forever.
A couple of minutes later, Alexa came out of the cubicle wearing a beautiful evening dress. When Ms. Garcia saw Alexa come out in her exclusive design, she was happy that it fit perfectly. Someone would think, it was designed just for Alexa. Ms. Garcia was in awe and loved the way it fitted Alexa like a glove. It was beautiful.
"Give her the matching stilettos. Let us see if she can rock the dress while wearing high-heeled shoes." Ms. Garcia ordered the attendant that was helping the stylist.
Alexa was handed a pair of rock-studded t-strap stilettos by Valentino Gardabani, which probably cost almost a whole year of her salary. Her hands were shaking with nervousness when she put on the shoes. In her mind, she was stressed and worried that she would mess up the dress and break the shoes. She would not be able to afford to pay for it if something happened.
After putting the shoes on, she stood up straight. With her height, that was 5'11, and the heels elevated her by 4 inches", she looked so tall and beautiful.
Ms. Garcia could not stop herself from smiling. She liked what she saw.
Alexa was tall, slim, had long legs like a gazelle, with black, long curly hair that strolled down her back and beautiful straight pearly white teeth. She had dimples when she smiled. She was picture-perfect. The perfect candidate for the title of a beauty queen…
Alexa was in trouble because she had never worn high heels in her entire life. A few years ago, she went to the mall and tried on high heels shoes, but never stilettos. She never thought she would need to since she is already tall for a woman.
Ms. Garcia asked her to walk forward, but she hesitated and froze. She was afraid that she would fall flat on her face and embarrass herself.
"What are you doing?" Ms. Garcia motioned for her to walk towards her, but Alexa just stood like a statue.
Alexa was unable to move, her legs were shaking, and she was afraid to take even a step forward. However, Ms. Garcia started getting agitated, and her brows almost touched each other while looking at her, waiting for Alexa to make her first step.
Alexa had no choice. She started to pray to all the gods that she knew about. She was praying to anyone who could hear her, to let her walk in these stilettos without falling flat on her face.
Unfortunately, it seemed that all the gods were currently asleep, and no one was listening to her prayer.
Therefore, Alexa took her first step on her unsteady foot, tripped on the rug, and she fell forward flat on her face with a big thud.
"WTF???" Were the only words that came out of Ms. Garcia's mouth…
The sight in front of Ms. Garcia was embarrassing. Alexa stayed sprawled on the ground without moving or trying to get up. She was so embarrassed that she could not face them, and she did not have the guts get up and run away.
She just stayed there on the ground facing the carpet and not bothering to look up to see Ms. Garcia's reaction.
Suddenly, Alexa heard lots of laughter. It was Ms. Garcia. She was laughing hard and loud. When Alexa heard the laughter, she found the courage to raise her head and look at their reaction.
She saw Ms. Garcia laughing so hard she was holding her stomach. "I can't… believe… this!" She said in between laughs "I thought I had found a polished gem from a bunch of pebbles. Only to find out that the gem… I discovered… needs a whole lot of polishing!" She told Alexa while still laughing.
"Okay! Get up and take those shoes off! It is no big deal if you cannot wear stilettos. You will need to learn soon enough." Ms. Garcia motioned to the assistant stylist to help Alexa and then ordered the Assistant to give her a pair of shoes with lower heels.
"Can you, at least walk with that height?" She kindly asked Alexa as she pointed to the shorter heal, with a sympathetic look on her face.
Alexa took the shoes from the assistant and put them on. She straightened her posture and took a couple of breaths. With an inward prayer, she stepped towards Ms. Garcia, Alexa was proud that she did not fall this time.
"How am I doing?" she asked while walking like a stiff board.
Ms. Garcia shook her head, with a wide grin plastered on her face. "You need to relax a little. You are too stiff. Watch me... this is how you should walk."
She demonstrated a perfect catwalk to Alexa. "Is it possible for you to walk like this?" she asked while doing the catwalk.
While Alexa was waiting for Ramon to finish whatever he was doing in the bathroom, she decided to call her cousin Andrea. Ever since they were little girls, they were always so close like two peas in a pod.They always told each other whatever was going on with their lives.For example, when Andrea was kissed by a boy from school that she did not like, although it was on the cheek, she felt annoyed and violated like she had lost her virginity.Even as adults, nothing has changed between them except for the fact that they now both have jobs, and they have grown up but not apart.Andrea's phone rang a couple of times before she answered. "Hello! Where are you? Have you started having your dinner now? ""No, not yet. Andrea, are you still in the hotel?" Alexa asked with curiosity in her tone."No, why? I just left, and I am on my way to my next appointment. What's up?" Andrea stated."Nothing much, I'm inside Ramon's hotel room and waiting
While they were inside the room, Ramon and Alexa were also looking out through the peephole in the door to observe what was going on outside.Ramon could not believe what he was seeing.The man and the lady were still waiting outside for them to come out of the room. He motioned Alexa to go and look while stepping aside to give her space.Alexa peeked and the two were still waiting for her at the door. She thought they were hilarious, and she could not contain her from laughter which was heard outside..."What is so funny?" Ramon asked Alexa who was sitting on the floor laughing so hard she had to hold her stomach."Shh! Be quiet; I need to figure out a way to make them leave.."Alexa went in deep thought and then asked, "How about we let them hear us making out?" She said it straight face indicating her full intent…Ramon responded with "Huh...?"Alexa was thinking naughty thoughts again.. She wanted to make the two people
Ramon decided to play along with Alexa's charade, and he did well. " Yes, babe! Whatever you want, I'm in your command." He kissed the top of her head while smelling her hair at the same time. "Hmmm...Honey, let's go to our room now!" He lifted Alexa, carried her like a princess, and stormed out of the elevator." Oh... Sweetheart, I want to be with you." She wiped the imaginary sweat from her bosom."Ahhh... I feel so...hot and ready.." Alexa made sure her voice carried loud enough for the two to hear as they passed by.Antella thought to herself, 'Watch it, man, she is mine. Damn!'The Prince said to himself upon hearing Alexa's conversation,'Sh*t, who is this ugly looking guy, he's annoying as hell. Do you think I'm going to let you have my future wife? I don't think so!'Prince Alexander did not show his jealousy. Instead, he stood still in shock, looking like one of those Greek statues... Lady Antella was utterly shocked by what she heard.
"Hello! This is Lady Antella speaking, whom may I ask?" She said it loud and clear for Alexa and Ramon to hear. As if that was not enough, she put the phone on a speaker just as the other person was about to say something.Prince Alexander saw what she did, grabbed the phone, and turned it off as fast as he could before Alexa was able to hear what the person on the other end of the line was saying."WTF!!!" She kicked Prince Alexander's knees, and then she tried to grab her phone out of his hands. The effort was worthless, Prince Alexander is a head taller than Lady Antella, and she could not reach the phone at all when he raised his hand high up onto the sky.She forgot that she was a Lady and swore like a truck driver.You f*cking assh*le, you SOB give me my phone back, or I will make you pay."You want your phone? I'll give it back to you, but you need to promise me that you will fly back tonight and not meet her in person." Prince Alexander neede
While Alexa was acting crazy and pushing all the buttons, the elevator stayed wide open for everyone outside to see what's she's doing. Ramon was about to burst into laughter, but he did not want Alexa to get mad at him, so he held back his laughter as long as he could.Finally, after a few seconds, the elevator door closed and started moving up. Only then did Alexa feel relief and slammed down on the floor like a rag doll. "What a shitty day!First, my chance of getting signed as a trainee has gone down the drain. Then, of all the people I run into.Ithad to be that pervert's assistant." Alexa loudly complained to Ramon who's turning red from holding his laughter...Ramon couldn't hold it any longer, he finally gave in and laughed out loud while pointing at Alexa who's still slumping at the floor of the elevator. He laughed so hard that he was in tears.Alexa took out one of her shoes and threw it at Ramon who was still laughin
"You! Andrea!Where in the world have you been?"Alexa yelled as the door opened.The person right in front of Alexa was her cousin Andrea who had been missing in action, and Alexa had been trying to contact her for a whole week without luck." Your phone had been unreachable, and when I went to your house, Aunty told me you're on a business trip abroad. What's up with that?" Alexa was glaring at Andrea with anger as she scolded her for not calling her back."Give me a hug before you bombard me with questions!" Andrea pulled her cousin in an embrace.As she hugs Alexa, she looks over and realizes that a man is standing right behind Alexa. A very handsome man who looks perfect in his outfit.Alexa, who is this hunk?Is he your newfound boyfriend?" Andrea was half kidding, but she was shocked to hear Alexa's reply. "What if he is my boyfriend? You got a problem with that!"Alexa pulls out from Andrea's embrace.She pull
