  &quot;Yvonne, it is my rest day.&quot; I was joking when Yvonne called on the phone.
      &quot;You do not want good news?&quot; She asked on the other line.
      &quot;What's that?&quot; I smiled because it was 'good' news.
      &quot;Friend, your photoshoot was successful. You just blew up Sir Akhi's models.&quot; Her voice was also very happy.
      &quot;What? What happened?&quot; I also do not know how I feel now from what I heard.
      Yvonne told me to report for work after lunch. I also need to talk to Sir Akhi.
      In his office .......
      &quot;I just love all your photos. They were all perfect in my eyes.&quot; Sir Akhi as he browses the pictures on his laptop one by one.
      Without me noticing, I was smiling as I watched myself.
      &quot;See, you are smilling. You love your work too?&quot; Again he said.
      &quot;Sir Akhi, I just did not expect that I can 

  Duug ... duug ... duuuggg ....
      I feel like Akhi heard my heartbeat as he spoke.
      Everything he said penetrated my heart. I felt every word he said.
      &quot;Please! Adeen, I hope you agree. Would you be my girl? I need an answer now. &quot;When Akhi finished what he wanted to say.
      Like a bomb my chest would explode with excitement.
      &quot;Adeen.&quot; He called me again.
      &quot;Alright then! I will be your girl.&quot; I answered him.
      &quot;Thank you so much.&quot; Akhi stood up and hugged me.
      I hugged him tightly too.
      Jazzy and Khaye and I also talked. I told them I would go home to the Philippines for sure and I would be able to attend Khaye and Gilbert's wedding. The two were very happy.
      &quot;Mommy, don't worry. I am not a girl anymore. I just need to attend Khaye's wedding. Then I will stay with Jazzy first. I also need to be wi

  &quot;Friend, you just said you like that dress, didn't you?&quot; Yvonne whispered.
      I could not look at Yvonne because Sir Akhi and I had narrowed our eyes. He smiled. And it seems that even if I do not want to do it , I will accept the offer right away.
      &quot;Please, do it for me.&quot; Sir Akhi asked me again.
      &quot;I-I do not know if that is possible here at the company. One more thing, I am not a model.&quot; I cannot think of anything clear now.
      Sir Akhi signaled 'wait . Then he walked away and talked to someone on the phone.
      &quot;That is alright! Grab it or you will miss it for the rest of your life.&quot; Yvonne was still convincing me.
      I love to take selfies, yes, but I do not know if my posing will pass the professionals. I laughed softly in my mind. I could never have imagined that such an opportunity could come in my life.
      &quot;I
