Chapter 13

Author: Seeking A Peaceful Life
In the ballroom, Chanel’s executive manager was about to sign Charmine.

“Mr. James, are you sure you want to sign a nobody? She has absolutely zero stage experience!” Amelia Jordan protested.

“Exactly. She’s just witty! I can bring fireflies to cheat like her, too. Matter of fact, anyone could, but these are cheap tricks that won’t hold up on such a big occasion like tomorrow’s.”

“Alright, why don’t you ladies show us some tricks? You’re all pretentious, thinking yourselves as supermodels as you put on dead-like expressions,” the manager refuted. He then turned to Charmine and, seemingly changing expressions in a 360-degree manner, spoke with confidence, “Miss Jordan, please sign here. Just do what you did up there and it’ll do fine. We believe in you.”

Charmine sealed the contract with her signature.

Pleased, Charmine then turned to Amelia Jordan and spoke, “Miss Jordan, you gotta try harder tomorrow. Please don’t end up foolish like today, losing to some inexperienced person like me with your three-year modeling experience.” The corners of her lips curled into a sneer as she turned and left.

Amelia’s face turned red in anger. While she was not as famous as Tiffany, everyone knew her name. She was also an actress, and because of her arrogant and straightforward manner, she was marketed as the ‘wild and blunt’ one that her fans were crazy about. She always had her way wherever she went, respected by everyone, and yet… An adopted daughter like Charmine spoke to her in such a rude tone and—to rub salt into the wound—even secured the opportunity! This drove Amelia crazy!

...

Charmine left the hotel and walked straight to the parking lot. Luxurious cars lined up one after another in this park while Charmine’s dinged-up motorbike sat quietly by the corner.

As she was about to put on her helmet, a kid came running out from nowhere.

“Mommy! Mommy!” With his sweet voice, Chris ran into Charmine. He clung tightly to her thigh, his small figure much like an accessory on her leg.

Charmine wanted to push him away, but who could resist such an adorable doe-eyed plump boy?

Unable to fight back, she bent down and ruffled his hair. “Darling, why are you here alone? Did your dad neglect you again?”

“No, I ran away from him. I miss Mommy... Will Mommy come home with me?” Chris nestled further into her embrace.

“Oh darling, I’m not your mother. I have my own house, so I can’t go home with you.” Charmine frowned.

“No, you’re my Mommy. My dad promised to make you my mommy! Daddy loves you, and he’s been thinking about you every day since he met you. Last night, he even went to sleep with a photo of you!” the boy rambled on and on. “Today, he parted with his project worth at least a few billions just to watch you, to protect you.”

Charmine was speechless. Was Chris telling the truth? Also, did Anthony genuinely go to sleep with her photo?

She ruffled his head affectionately and said, “Momo, you’re still young. Don’t become like your dad. Love is sacred; there’s no such thing as love at first sight,” she explained. “Love at first sight isn’t love, it’s just ‘sight’. In other words, it's a simple attraction based on physical appearances. It’s like a hobo hitting on a pretty girl, and this is illegal. It’s bad!”

Anthony overheard her last sentence as he got there. His handsome face turned dark instantly, like the sky before a heavy rain.

Hobo? She thought of him as a hobo?

    Charmine elegantly twisted to the opposite side and simultaneously tossed the silk cape upward. The long and flowy cape floated in the air—as though in slow-motion—before it wound around the metal frame above the stage into a knot. In a swift movement, Charmine pulled on the cape as her body swayed freely in the air. Like a choreographed dance, she flew above everyone else languidly and carefreely with the silk. Her skin-colored tulle dress fluttered as she floated in the air, while the cape whirled like tidal waves. The innumerable fireflies became her backdrop as she flew like a fey from a dreamy fairyland; stunningly beautiful, stunningly bewitching. Everyone watched as she glided above them, their breath taken away.Ineffable. Her dress swirled like the smoke of an enchanting dream. She was like a goddess that came from heaven that held captive the souls below her with a faint smile.With a smooth transition, she hooked her legs mid-air as she reached over to remove her sho

    A figure so ethereal slowly emerged to the stage.She appeared to be naked under the light, the shade and shape of her body all too noticeable: Long neck, paper-thin waist, and those elegant, long and straight legs! There was not a trace of excess fat on her body. It was as though she was a sculpture made in heaven. This was a figure of a natural supermodel.Still, was she genuinely naked? Did she choose to go on stage naked just to win?Anthony’s face darkened instantly as his hands instantly shot up to cover the boy’s and Nial’s eyes. A strange and unfamiliar feeling of anger arose in his chest, and his ears rang with the words Charmine had said to him, ‘Walking around the beach in a bikini.’Had she always been such an open-minded person?All the audience stared at her in bewilderment. Some even had the word ‘god’ comically appeared in their mouths.On the streaming platform, some commented, [OMG! We can report Chanel for streaming pornography, right?]However, it was onl

    The first to appear on the stage was a tall and slim Causasion supermodel. She was dressed in a tight-fitting black short skirt, complementing her alluring body shape. Blue-eyed with wavy blond hair cascading down her shoulders glamorously, it was the most famous supermodel from France, Michelle Kerry! Around her neck hung a red ruby necklace, and it came along with earrings and bracelets of the same series. This was Chanel’s latest collection named Passion. complemented by Michelle’s fiery temperament, it was seamlessly perfect! The audience was left awestruck by her beauty and they, along with the paparazzi, started taking photos of her. Thus began the hushed comments between attendees. “If a top supermodel like Michelle can only be the opening act, how great could Charmine be to make the final appearance?”“Who knows? Maybe she slept with the owner of Chanel!”“Even if she did sleep with the owner and made the final appearance with her body, can’t she be a little lay-low abo

    Time fleeted unnoticeably, and it was almost ten o’clock.“Get ready, everyone,” an assistant called out to the supermodels backstage. “Stand by the stage. It’s almost showtime!”The supermodels stood up to get in line according to their given number. Charmine was the last to appear on stage, thus it was not her turn for at least the next thirty minutes. She laid back languidly on her seat as she settled her mind.Outside, amid the huge space of Ocean Pearl, a tall T-stage was built in glass illusion, surrounded by chairs across its perimeters. The guests in the hall were the richest in the country, able to afford a ticket at a starting price of 20,000 dollars. Outside the hall, the standing tickets were as high as a thousand dollars. Most of the audience was looking forward to the show; some for the models while some for the jewelry. Of course, the one thing everyone was really looking forward to was Charmine Jordan and how she would ‘stun the world’ as she claimed to.On the righ

    At Ocean Pearl. It was only 9.30am, but guests had occupied the hall. With the bet between Charmine and Julian going on, everyone was keen to find out who Charmine was and how she would win. The ticket price went from a few thousand to twenty thousand per ticket due to the increasing demand. Even executives like Julian who was never seen in Burlington reserved front row seats. They were all supporters of Julian, wanting to find out what drove Charmine to place such a grand and risky bet against Julian.A dazzling back Hypersport pulled over at Ocean Pearl’s back door. Luke turned to Charmine and said, “Miss Jordan, I’m relaying a message from Mr. Bailey. He said that if you need anything, just say the word and he’d get it done.”“No, I don’t need it,” came her firm reply. “This is a small matter, and help is not needed.” Charmine got out of the car, but as she was about to shut the door, she added, “Right, help me to pass on to your Mr. Bailey. Ask him to spend more time with Momo,

    Tiffany was shocked with disbelief. Her face stiffened as she could barely contain her emotions, but she managed to hold herself together and forced a smile, asking, “Sir, I think you’ve made a mistake.”Charmine just returned to the country, and hardly anyone knew her. How would such a wealthy boss know her and send someone to pick her up?“No, I’ve not,” the chauffeur deadpanned. “I’m here to pick up Miss Jordan. Charmine Jordan,” he added, emphasizing ‘Charmine’ when he spoke. Disbelief, their gazes turned to Charmine as though in slow-motion.This car came for Charmine? She knew the car’s owner? Impossible! Tiffany’s face twisted into a shade beyond abhorrence. How could it be?As everyone was still frozen in shock, the man walked toward Charmine and bowed. “Miss Jordan, please.”Charmine walked over nonchalantly, her eyes judging the car. “Hmm... It’s not too bad, I’d give you that. However, there are only seven cars in the world, and that number is ominous. Also, black abs
