"You still can't beat me, I'll always be better that you" Chantel whispered.
_______________
Yulia blood boils like never before. Her hatred towards this woman grow the more but Chantel never mind. Instead, she maintain her calm face enjoying how Yulia's face squeeze in anger.
"Watch and see" Yulia gritted her teeth before walking away.
Chantel return her gaze to Marcus.
"This won't last, you know that" Marcus said.
"Of course it won't Mr President" she smirked have a hidden meaning behind her word. She also left the office too.
Marcus phone rang afterwards, it was Doris calling.
"Why haven't you sign the divorce papers?! I told you I don't want anything to do with you so sign it!" She yelled.
"Doris let's settle this, I'm a calm way.. I.." the call cut before he could finish his word.
Marcus sat back on his chair. Everything is just too frustrating ever since the scandal. His wife want a divorce, planning to take his kids along with her. But.. one thing... Who released the news?
He is going to find and and once he do, he'll have no mercy.
"Did you notice the way Mr Marcus stare at Yulia?" Rana asked.
"He's into her. I guess old habit never die hard" Chantel said having some crazy thought running through her head.
"Yulia won't give up" Rana said.
"That's exactly why I provoked her. She will do anything to get into the Galaxy show so she could win the top ten model award. Her mind will get frustrated even the more, since Marcus can't help her" Chantel said.
"What do you think she is going to do?" Rana asked.
Chantel lips curve up as she look at Rana. As if communicating through her eyes, Rana got the clue.
"Oh shit, I'll have to tail her then" Rana squealed. "By the way, make sure you rest well this weekend" Rana said.
"I will"
Chantel's phone rang showing Laila on the screen.
"Hello, Chef" Chantel answered.
"Have you find any news about Matilda?" Laila asked over the phone.
"Not yet, I wonder where she might be" Chantel sighed. "I'll call when I find out anything"

(YULIA'S APARTMENT)
Just like Chantel had thought, Yulia became so anxious. If she had done the professional shoot then, there is a high chance for Chantel to go in... What if at the end, she wasn't chosen.. Doesn't that mean, Chantel's word are true?
"Bullshit" she muttered pacing around the room. Her finger was busy caressing her chin.
"I have to do something, I just need to be in that Galaxy show.. then everyone will look at only me. I'll show Chantel what I've got" Yulia breath out. She grab her phone and search for the old man's number.
After battling inwardly for a while she decided to call his number.
The number went through and was picked after a while.
"Hello, Is this Mr Oliver?" Yulia tried as much as possible to keep her tone polite.
"Yes, who is this?" The old man asked over the phone.
"This is Yulia Bills, the famous model" she introduced.
"Oh" came a short reply from the man. His voice sounds as if he really don't know her.
"I... Uhm.. I need to talk to you.. about something.. can we meet?, Please" She said.
"Of course, I'd love to meet you. Just send me the address where we are to meet and I'll appear" the man said.
Yulia felt her happiness grow slowly. The man is so kind.. of course she would definitely go in if she do what he wants.
"Thank you so much" Yulia appreciated before ending the call.
Her smile broaden as she could feel her victory coming close. Once she get the top ten model award, then Chantel will have no choice but to be jealous of her.
Her door opened and she jerk, she frowned when she saw who it is.
Kyle walked in with red eyes, messy hair and dull look. His lips were dry and his walking were slow.
"Kyle?" She called going towards him.
"Don't touch me" he warned.
"What's with you? Where are you coming from?.. oh Gawd, you stink of alcohol"
He walk towards her then hug her. Yulia fell back on the bed because of his weight.
"I wanna fuck" he slur his words.
"Get off me!" Yulia snapped pushing him away. Kyle rolled over and groaned.
"I'm going to get you no matter what, Chant" he muttered but Yulia couldn't hear what he said. He slept off like that.
Yulia stared at his face and scoffed. He haven't helped her with her career ever since her came back. Remembering the old man, she took her phone then began to type.

(FINITE.. HALL)
Iris stared at the file before her with a blank look. It's been 30 minutes and yet her mind still can't focus.
"How is it?" Her manager came to ask.
"I.. I can't f..focus. I don't know why. I just feel strange these days" Iris replied.
"This is just a small interview, okay... Just answer the questions and that's all"
"I know but it's not the interview I'm scared about" Iris said.
"What then?"
"I don't know, I just have this bad feeling around me" Iris said.
Her manager face turn unpleased for a while but it disappeared immediately.
"Don't worry, you just need to go out and have some fun.. I'm sure everything will be fine" her manager assured.
Taking a deep breath, Iris nodded her head and head out for the interview.
The Manager's phone beep, a message appeared on her screen.
*DO YOU HAVE MORE OF HER NUDES? I'M TALKING ABOUT IRIS"
She look around just to check if any one is watching.
*I TOLD YOU NOT TO CONTACT ME. I'LL GIVE YOU WHAT YOU WANT ANYTIME I'M FREE. WHAT ABOUT MY BALANCE FROM THE LAST ONE?* She texted.
She had install a small camera into Iris bathroom sending her nudes to her clients for money.
Her phone beeped afterwards an alert notification popped on her screen.
*DONE.. THE NUDES! I FUCKING NEED IT* The strange person texted.
*TONIGHT, I'LL SURELY GET IT FOR YOU*
She deleted the Messages after chatting and then walked to watch Iris interview.

"This place is awesome, I love it" Aurora said staring at the garden before her.
"You like flowers?" Henry asked.
"Of course I do. Rose is my favorite. My mom loves them too. She bring them every week just to beautify the house" She said.
"She must really be nice" he said.
"She's dead, she died when I was nine"
"Oh, shit I'm sorry" he quickly said.
"No it's fine" Aurora said. She draw her face close to his since they were sitting close. Their lips entangle as they slowly suck on each others lip.
They broke the kiss after a while, and chuckled biting their lips.
"I like you Aurora" Henry confessed.
"I like you too" she replied pecking his lips.
"Let's go get ice cream" he suggested.
"One chocolate, one Vanilla" he demanded from the middle aged man in charge.
He gave the vanilla to Aurora and he took the chocolate, They decided to take a stroll which eating their ice cream.
"Your sister is cool" Aurora commented.
Hearing the word 'sister' Henry mood change a bit, Aurora noticed.
"I heard you deny her, do you hate her so much?" She asked and they stop walking.
Henry made to talk but Aurora noticed someone behind him.
"Henry watch out!!!" She yelled but it was too late as a large metal pole crash on Henry's head.
He fell heavily on floor, blood gush out of his head dripping down his forehead as he tries to move.
"Ryan!!" Aurora yelled.
