[59]
Giselle put her phone back down rather rudely. She let out a long sigh and hurried to get ready. The event would start in three hours but she had to be in the hall specifically used for SEO models. There was a lot to prepare before the event. Moreover, this was the first time Harvey was officially introduced as part of SEO.
Just like before, she felt nervous and worried. Afraid that all the preparations that have been made will fall apart and disappoint Justin. Harvey said the same thing last night where they spent time pouring out their worries and encouraging each other because they didn’t want to disappoint Justin.
“I owe her a lot,” Harvey says with a chuckle. “I don’t want to do anything that will give her a headache.
Giselle nodded in agreement. “Just like you. But I’ll always be by your side, Harvey. We’ll face it together. You’re more experienced than me anyway, right? How come you’re still nervous about the stage area?”
Harvey chuckled at what Giselle had just said. He chose to get up, sitting down and hugging one of the bolsters in Giselle’s room. They had been at the hotel since two days ago near the building where the show would be held. Harvey and Giselle took advantage of the opportunity to see the stage that they would conquer as the main model of SEO. Although Giselle’s portion is not as much as Harvey’s, but her appearance has been much awaited by fans and fashion observers who are invited guests later.
“SEO and Monochrome are different from anything I’ve ever done. It was as if I was asked to immerse myself in this design that Justin gave me.”
“Is that why you’re burdened?” asked Giselle, who followed Harvey’s sitting position.
“Absolutely not.” His best friend laughed. “It’s just that I want the best I can do for Justin. That’s all.”
“Then we will try our best.”
The conversation unintentionally played back in Giselle’s mind. But her eyes again glanced at the cell phone that was still displaying the same mode; black. Without any message notifications. “Never mind, why should I think about it?” She grinned faintly. Taking the clothes Brina had prepared for him. Trying to get rid of the thing that was actually annoying to ignore.
The message from Andrew, as well as his attitude during their last meeting.
No, she didn’t. Giselle didn’t miss the messages that she found more seductive than anything else, though sometimes the messages Andrew slipped her sometimes got her a little excited. It’s just… it’s been over a month. It was as if Andrew had just disappeared.
Without any news.
Although Hans and Justin still occasionally mentioned The Collage as the main media to promote some SEO activities, it would still be strange if Giselle asked about Andrew’s whereabouts.
I don’t know why her hand stretched out to retrieve the phone that was lying there. Andrew’s conversation history with her was mostly one-sided. It was mostly Andrew who sent her messages. Occasionally, she could count on her fingers when Giselle needed to reply to a message from Andrew. It was replied to very quickly as if Giselle’s reply was awaited.
Her fingers were swiftly scrolling through their conversation.
“Sometimes this guy really doesn’t look like he has much to do,” Giselle muttered as one of Andrew’s messages caught her by surprise. It was sent at what she thought was peak working hours. “Does he use timed messages?”
Giselle chuckled to herself with her ridiculous thoughts. “I guess he did take the time to send me a message.”
Once again, her hand scrolled through the phone screen that was still displaying the chat Andrew had sent. Oh, and one more thing, the collection of cards that were tucked into each meal Andrew sent, were carefully kept by Giselle. Why and why Giselle did this, she didn’t know. It’s just that she likes to accumulate cards with Andrew’s messages on them.
Andrew. K:
The air in Centralia is quite cold. Don’t get sick, Giselle. Even though you’re in Yazeran, you still need to take care of your health. Did my chocolate shipment arrive?
For that message, Giselle did reply. And ended up asking Andrew for permission to talk over the phone. At that time, Giselle remembered that she wasn’t too busy so she allowed it. It wasn’t long, really, only about ten minutes and most of their conversation centered on the news of the Manchestter official corruption case that people were talking about. The corruption was also due to a third party involving a romantic relationship that left many people shocked.
That’s all.
Afterward, Giselle’s days returned. And as was Andrew’s habit of sending her messages day after day, without even needing a reply, he never tired of keeping in touch. Sometimes he would also inform Giselle about his busy schedule, which was indeed time-consuming.
“Is … Andrew sick?” asked Giselle with a curious look, her eyes not leaving the chat that was still open. On the contact, the word ‘online’ indicated that the man was using his cell phone. But why…
“I don’t think so.” Giselle answered her own curiosity. Choosing to quickly exit the message history on her phone. Sighing softly while focusing on what she was going to do right now. “He’s busy. I guess a while ago, he didn’t have any friends to bother. Incidentally, there’s me who she knows how to approach.” Giselle grinned slightly. “That’s true, too. That’s what happened to her. Now that she’s found someone who can keep her company, she won’t bother me anymore.”
Giselle’s smile soon grew wider. Feeling happy that she had found the answer to what had happened to Andrew recently. If it was true what she had in mind, why wasn’t Andrew honest? After all… he would congratulate her if she met a woman he could play with. Giselle also feels grateful that she didn’t fall for the bait of a man like Andrew.
“Men everywhere are the same.” Giselle chuckled. “Never mind, let’s get ready.”
She immediately put her cell phone back down. No longer thinking about Andrew which made her a bit uneasy lately. Somewhat happy too with the thought that crossed her mind just now even though… her smile was no longer as wide as usual. I don’t know, it was like she had her own annoyance but didn’t know how to vent it and who to vent it to.
“Giselle,” called Brina, who simply walked into the room Giselle was staying in. “How much longer do I have to wait? Harvey is waiting for you in the back hall.”
The girl who had just come out of the bathroom, could only let out a long sigh. But as soon as she saw the look on her face in the mirror on the sink, she immediately removed the strange expression on her face. don’t let anyone know, what is happening to her. She immediately patted her cheeks lightly.From NôvelDrama.Org.
Giselle immediately chuckled in response to Brina’s words just now. “I just finished my bath. Why do you sound so rushed?”
Brina rolled her eyes in annoyance. “This is you.” The assistant quickly picked up the clothes she had prepared earlier. “You don’t like what I picked out?”
Giselle chuckled. “Since when did I refuse your choice? I’m just reluctant to take a bath. The weather here is still too lazy to face with much activity.”
Brina clucked once more. “Come on, we have to get ready. Justin is waiting for you.”
“Okay.” Giselle laughed.
“iya, you must be surprised at the news I heard among the models.”
Giselle shook her head lightly. “Mostly just cheap gossip.”
“Don’t regret it if you find out later.” Brina folded her arms across her chest. Not wanting to wait for Giselle’s response, she spoke again. “Andrew is coming with his fiancée.”
