Mafia King’s Innocent Bride

Sophie’s POV

“Can you turn around?” asked Miss Thea to me when I was finally wearing the dress that she wanted me to wear.

“Y-Yes, of course.” I said then I turned around.

She nodded. “That dress suits you so well. Now, I would like you to meet Denee, she will be the one to train you until you finally become a good Felestine model.”

A short-haired woman with glasses was introduced to me.

“Hello, I’m Sophie Laurens. It’s so nice to meet you, Miss Denee.” I said with a smile on my face.

She raised an eyebrow at me. “I’m Denee Peterson, I may look like a kind person but I just want you to know that I won’t be going easy on you. Just because you are recommended by Lance Jacobs, doesn’t mean I will favor you too.”

“I-I understand…”This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Okay, now follow me and we will go to where I am going to train you.”

I just nodded while my hands were shaking. “Okay…”

Why do it feels like she’s going to kill me? I feel really nervous.

I just followed Miss Denee until we finally entered a room where there are lots of trainee like me and the room was full of glass walls where we can see ourselves maybe when modeling.

“Everyone, I would like you to meet our new member, Sophie Laurens. She will be training here with you so please be nice to her.” Miss Denee introduced me to the other girls.

“Hi, I’m Sophie Laurens. It’s so nice meeting all of you here.”

‘Hello, Sophie!’

‘You are so beautiful’

‘It’s so nice meeting you, Sophie!’

They started greeting me and I couldn’t help but smile. At least I know now that they are all nice. I hope I can be friends with them.

Denee suddenly clapped her hands. “Stop talking and form your line now! We will start already!” She shouted.

All of us then formed a line facing Miss Denee.

“Alright. One by one please walk from that corner until you finally reached this corner. Then watch yourself as you turn too. This training is for runways. You have to remember that your hands should always act as if they don’t exist when you are walking. You have to just let them move on their own way and you should also wear a poker face all the time when walking.”

We were just nodding while listening to her. I think Miss Denee is really strict but I also think that I will learn a lot from her.

***

After an arduous training with Miss Denee, she finally let us take a break. She was really strict and she kept on yelling at us whenever we do mistakes.

She often yells at me too since I am the only one there who doesn’t have any background when it comes to modeling.

Now I am here, sitting on a chair on the lounge area of the company. I was looking at my feet who got really hurt from wearing high heels the whole day.

I wear high heels but not everyday, that is why I am not so used to it yet.

“So this is what modeling is like, I never thought that it would be this hard…” I whispered to myself.

“Modelling is really hard, right?”

I almost jumped from where I was sitting when someone suddenly sat next to me and spoke. I looked at her and I was surprised to see that woman that I saw at the coffee shop when I went there with Lance. It was that beautiful woman.

“E-Excuse me, m-ma’am?”

She smiled. “It is always hard in the start but when you finally get used to it, you will finally learn how to have discipline and endure things. You know what, back when I was starting as a model too, I used to always complain too and I almost gave up. But then my situation always reminds me that I have to strive hard. Because I wanted to prove to myself that I can do it, that I can rise again.”

“You are always here to advice me, ma’am. Maybe I know your name? By the way, I am Sophie Laurens.”

“S-Sophie?” She looked surprised.

I nodded. “Yes, how about you, ma’am?”

“Sophie, my name is Felestine.”

“It’s so nice to meet you again, Miss Felestine. As you can see, I’m a new model here. May I know what work are you doing here too if you don’t mind? Are you a model too?”

She laughed.

Even her laugh sounded so beautiful.

“I am too old to do that now. Oh by the way, I have to go now, Sophie.” She stood up so I stood up too. “I’ll just see you around, okay?”

“Okay, see you around, Miss Felestine…” I said with a smile on my face.

She even waved goodbye to me before finally leaving.

She’s really beautiful, she doesnt even look like an older woman and just like what I just said to her a while ago, she looks like a model too.

“Sophie!!!”

I turned around and I saw Eris, one of my co-trainees. She was with Stacey, the other trainee too.

“Hey.” I said to them.

“What are you doing alone here? Let’s eat lunch together!” said Eris.

I smiled at them. “Really? I can eat with you?”

“Of course you can. We are friends now, right?” Stacey said.

“Of course. So, shall we go to the cafeteria now?” I asked them.

“Let’s go!”

I’m so glad to have new friends in my first day as a trainee.

Mommy, I’m already starting my new life. I finally found new friends too.
