Chapter 537 LET'S GO SHOPPING
Apple was confused when she was called this morning by a woman who said that she was chosen to be a model for her company, through the selection that was made.
Oh, please, Apple never even took part in such things, so how could she win a competition she didn't even know about?
"Where did you get my number?" Apple asked, confused, because she was sure not many people have her contact details, since there were only less than two hundred numbers in her contacts.
"From the Stardust Studio," the woman replied in a calm voice.
When she heard the name, of course Apple knew what the deal with the studio was, but she needed more explanation for this.
"Who's the photographer?" Apple asked again, just to confirm her guess.
"Ivan Andreas," the woman on the other end of the phone answered without hesitation and this confirmed Apple's previous conjecture.
However, what kind of photos did Ivan send to the company and what kind of selection did the company make in choosing the model?
Apple knew that Ivan was taking part in some competition, but she didn't know that her friend had secretly taken a photo of her to enter that competition.
How could Ivan do this without her knowledge? And what kind of photo of herself did he take? Apple was starting to get worried.
"Can you give me some time to adress this issue?" Apple asked, she needed time to decide whether or not she wanted to take the job.
The woman on the other side seemed a little stunned by Apple's answer, because they should have discussed a meeting schedule to do a photo shoot, because if the candidates had decided to enter this competition, it meant they were ready, but in the end she gave Apple some leeway, because she could sense some kind of miscommunication and misunderstanding here.
"Okay, I'll call back tomorrow to hear your decision," she finally said still in a friendly tone.
"Can you send that photo to me?" Apple asked carefully, because she felt she was asking for too much.
But she really needed some time to call Ivan and ask her best friend what was really going on and why he was secretly taking pictures of herself.
And after sorting out the calls she received this morning, Apple immediately called Ivan to ask for an explanation of this problem.
And the first thing Ivan said was an apology because he had done all this behind her back and afterward was very happy that he won the competition with Apple as the model.
"I never wanted to be a model," Apple grumbled, she was annoyed that Ivan was doing all this without her knowing, but also a little proud of herself.
Especially when she got a reply email from the woman who sent her a photo of her that helped Ivan win the competition.
In the photo, Apple is standing by the river, leaning forward, as if she was looking at herself on the clear surface of the river, even though at that moment what Apple was looking at were boulders at the bottom of the river.
Ivan does take pictures of natural landscapes, so when they work together, most of their time will be spent outdoors, especially outdoors like this.
It can't be denied that Apple looks beautiful there, she looks really enjoying the natural scenery and looks so calm.
Even Apple herself has to admit that she is amazed by her own photos. How could Ivan capture such a moment? In the photo, the aura that Apple emits looks so calm and gentle, until Apple feels she's not herself.
Apple must recognize the greatness of his friend.
"You're perfect for this job Apple," Ivan coaxed. "I've told you about it in the past, haven't I? You are suitable as a model, I can help you in this industry, but you always refuse my offers, now, I have proved it right."
Indeed, Ivan had offered this job to Apple several years ago, but Apple always found a way to turn him down because she didn't feel confident to be in front of the camera, especially when she thought that a model should look more beautiful and elegant than she was.
"Bullshit," Ivan grumbled. "You're beautiful Apple, it's just that you don't pay attention to yourself."
Apple pursed her lips. She wanted to say that she wasn't that pretty, but the photo that Ivan took showed that she could be beautiful too. Even Apple thinks she's really pretty in the photo, which makes her blush.
"So you'll take the offer, won't you?" Ivan asked excitedly. He had wanted to take Apple photos professionally since the first time he met this girl, but she was very difficult to work with.
Hearing the offer, Apple weighed her options.
"At least you should try first, so you will know, even if you don't like it, it's okay, you can stop whenever you want," Ivan coaxed again. He knew that Apple was starting to take this more seriously and that this was an opportunity for himself too. "You're broke now, after all, there's nothing wrong with earning a little money from this job, right?"
"Damn you, Ivan," Apple grumbled when she heard her best friend say that she was broke.
Meanwhile, from the other side of the phone, Apple could hear how Ivan was laughing happily.
======================
Apple just learned that the agency that made the offer was named White Cloud after she called Ivan yesterday and the woman who called her was named Martha.
She had just finished calling Martha to let her know that she was willing to model there and had arranged a schedule for the first photo shoot.
Apple was very nervous, but she was excited at the same time.
Just after she finished talking to Martha, a vague sound of doorbell ringing registered in her mind and then someone knocked on their house door.
Curious, Apple came out of the room and opened the door only to find that it was Hailee Tordoff, Jayden Tordoff's mother.
"Mrs. Tordoff?" Apple said in disbelief.
"Apple!" Hailee immediately hugged her. "Let's go shopping!"
