Emily waited adamantly at the reception desk with no intentions of leaving, while the receptionist kept her waiting there with no further updates. Suddenly, the elevator doors slid open, and a tall man with blonde hair, probably in his mid-40s, stepped out and walked towards the reception desk.
"Good morning, Mr. Hess." The receptionist changed her tone immediately and greeted Hess politely.
Emily had read a lot about Hess on the Internet so she recognized him in an instant. Hess was described in the media as a demanding figure who kept a strict disciplinarian stance. His face looked much friendlier now than he did on the screen, but there was seriousness in him that unnerved the employees around him upon his arrival. His sharp eyes had already caught Emily's, observing and studying him diligently before she could hide them away.
"Who is the girl over there?" Hess asked his assistant, while curiously walking towards Emily.
It was hard for Hess not to notice Emily. She looked so extraordinary in the hall that everything else seemed to fade out behind her. This woman was born to be in the spotlight.
Emily was wearing a dark blue designer fishtail dress with fragmented diamonds over the hemline. The dress perfectly accentuated her body, turning her into a beautiful mermaid emerging from the sky of a starry night.
The strapless design highlighted her swanlike neck, on which rested a shining sapphire necklace that outshined all the other sapphire jewelry Hess had seen before.
Despite the radiant glamour, the necklace looked more precious only when it was on Emily's neck. She had a kind of understated beauty like a gorgeous mermaid who had all the treasures on her but was disarmingly unaware of her own charisma.
"Mr. Hess…"
"Excuse me, Miss…"
Emily and Hess spoke at the same time.
"You go first." Emily insisted and eased the atmosphere. Her English was as fluent as her German.
"I am sorry, but you are so…so…" Hess couldn't think of the right word to describe this stunning lady that had graced him with her presence. He thought for a second and asked, "Are you here to apply for the contest, too?"
"What?" she asked. Emily wasn't sure what Hess was even talking about. Contest?
Perhaps... Hess mistook her for a model competing in the Starry Night Modelling Contest.
"Mr. Hess, I think there's been a misunderstanding. I am here to talk to you about the sponsorship for the contest," Emily replied and went straight to the point.
"Oh, so you are not participating then," Hess frowned. Such a pity! The moment Hess laid his eyes on Emily, he was completely sold on her. It would be a great loss for him not having her on the runway or under the
yes full of anticipation.
Emily thought about it for a second and then nodded. It was a hard-won opportunity, so she had to seize it. Soon, all the staffs cleared the way for Emily. All eyes in the room focused on her as she walked past the desks, the chairs, all the way to the big French window at the far side of the studio. The necklace was shining under the sun, and her skin glowed as her inner beauty had lit her eyes and softened her features.
Hess couldn't stop himself from smiling. "Your jewelry is indeed special," he said.
Emily's face lit up in an instant. "So…what do you think?" she asked eagerly.
"I can give you the sponsorship if…if you agree to be my model. What do you say about that?" Hess asked Emily. Hess was so taken by Emily, that she had given him new inspirations. He was almost certain that Emily would agree on his deal because he could sense her strong desire for the sponsorship.
"Your model?" she asked. Emily examined his face to make sure that he wasn't kidding. "I don't have any modelling experience…but…I will see what I can do," Emily replied.
"Very well. I will have someone send you the contract in a minute," Hess was satisfied with Emily's response.
'That's it?'
When Emily walked out of the Starry Night building with the contract tucked under her arms, she was still in disbelief. How did she manage to overcome the impossible and come out victorious after negotiating with an icon such as Hess?
'So… I got the sponsorship? That wasn't too hard, ' Emily mused.
Emily made a lot of effort to prepare for this meeting. Even her outfit was a part of her plan to better present her company's jewelry. Now, not only did Emily walk out of there with a sponsorship, she somehow landed herself a modelling gig as well. Was it just her luck?
