Chapter Ten
Reviewers: [hermione radcliffe - thanks a bunch! You rule! Lol* I think I'm gonna have to dedicate the story to you along with sasori and Jamie]. Everyone else: I am not pleased with your reviewing progress.
Disclaimer: Draco belongs to JK, so do the other obvious things. Shokari, Sachiro, Rhea, Trinity, Nakita, Jamie, and Keanu belong to me. That's bout all. Oh... and so does Manhattan Occult.

An elf by the name of Sereleanor looked up from her work. WHOA! Now THAT was a real true Evenstar. Violet eyes with creme skin and wine hair. WHOA! Had Draco been there, the world would've crashed down... Then again Draco wasn't there... SO!
"Penthouse?", a smile broke on the elf's face. Had this been in Bulgaria, the veela would've been kicked off the international beauty stage. "You're in luck Ma'am. The penthouse population has decreased alarmingly. We've an entire catalogue of penthouses to choose from.", Sereleanor reached from inside a desk and pulled out a three ringed binder. "Here. Touch any of the pictures, and it will transport you to the actual penthouse. Then, you merely ask to be brought back, and you will be.", Sereleanor left Shokari to amuse herself. The rooms were beautiful. Eons upon eons of suites in every colour. One of them dazzled Shokari into a trance. She had looked through two thousands of them so far, and then end of the pictures were nearing. A few more flips and Shokari had decided.
"Ms. Sereleanor.", she started. "I think I'll take penthouse 1986.", Sereleanor peered over her shoulder.
"Ah, wonderful choice. I've always loved that one myself. It's beautiful isn't it?", Shokari nodded in accord. "Here, I'll find you the price." The elf disappeared behind rows of shelves, returning shortly with a thick folder. "Ah, I've found it. Mmm, not a bad buy for that penthouse. The prices had dropped when the demand for the rooms plunged. That'll be 1240 galleons per month, everything included.", Shokari pondered this for a while. Not bad, her previous apartment, though split with Rhea, had been approximately the same price - when converted to wizard currency of course. Shokari nodded.
"I'll take it.", Sereleanor beamed.
"Wonderful. I'll set up the command charm for you. Step through that fireplace, and say 'Cambridge Quest Penthouse', a charm will be on the door. Stroke it and you'll be able to enter." Nodding again, Shokari stepped into the fireplace -
"Cambridge Quest Penthouse."
She found herself facing an immense pair of doors. Taller than herself by about two feet and painted mahogany, they stood their ground and posed a menacing look for intruders. However, Shokari wasn't an intruder, so she found them quite comfortable looking. She ran a finger down the right side of the door and it swung cleanly open. A welcoming sight found her. Burgundy walls with cream carpets were running forever in front of her. A fireplace with fully furnished couches and coffee table was sitting somewhere to the left. Advancing towards the staircase, Shokari mounted it and found several bedroom. Three in fact. She took the largest one for herself - for once being able to enjoy the feeling of domination in her own home. Grinning, she heaved her suitcase into the room and everything bounced out into their appointed spots. "Ah.", she said to herself. "Lovely." She poked about for a few minutes, taking a full tour of her spacious home. A grin spread across her features.
Half an hour later, she stepped out the door and into the elevator. Time to visit Occult again.

The Vuitton Crew had never experienced a more hellish day. Apart from Rhea, everyone, Draco included, was exhausted, frustrated, and rather disgusted. Sachiro was still sniffing, and every so often would sit down and diminish into a puddle of tears. The only down thing about this all was the fact that Draco looked awesome when he was moody. The sinister expressions that remained on his face for the entire shooting period only made Rhea ecstatic.
Finally, Draco had had enough. He marched into the change room declared that he was done for the day and left without further notice. Rhea glanced around, everyone was looking at her.
"Stop staring! It's rude! Okay, finished for the day. Wonderful isn't it. Jamie I want to see those shots by tomorrow. Au revoir tout le monde!", and then she too left. Sachiro stood up slowly. She fumbled through her drawers and pulled out a piece of paper which she tucked firmly into her binder.
"I'm going to go too. I need to get some... things done.", this left Keanu, Jamie, Trinity, and Nakita sitting in awkward silence.
"I say all hail Rhea. She got Shokari to go away!", intoned Nakita. She never really did like Shokari. Being of Japanese blood as well, the thought of having a gorgeous boss really annoyed her. Yet, the others were still silent. And they stayed silent for a long, long while!
************************************************************************
Sachi sat in her apartment in The Lion. The piece of paper that Shokari handed her had just a few words on them:
I'll call you when I get the chance.
Well, who knows when the girl would have a chance? Sachiro continued staring at the piece of paper. Then she withdrew the piece of paper that she had taken from her cabinet. It was Draco's modeling contract. "We'll see if he still wants this.", she said to herself, and picked up the phone. It rang several times before she received an answer. A recording machine went on.
"Hello, this is Draco Malfoy. I am not available at the moment, please leave a message after the beep, and I'll get back to you as soon as possible." Sachiro snorted. Didn't take long for Mr. Malfoy to learn to operate muggle appliances, Rhea must've had an immense impact on him. Well... here it goes.
"Hello Draco. This is Sachiro - the secretary for Louis Vuitton. I have something to discuss with you. I would be best if we do it face to face, therefore; I think it better for us to meet somewhere. I'm suggesting local bar - Neon Dusk - in Manhattan Occult tonight at twelve. If you can't make it, call me, or just give me a shout from next door. Bye.", the moment she hung up, she felt stupid. The two of them were neighbors, they could've just met in one of their apartments. Aiyah* How stupid could she get? Well, she's already left the message, so now, it's better to just prepare the materials for tonight and get her butt to Neon Dusk.
Scanning her surroundings, Chiro snatched the contract, placing it in a clear presentation folder, then into a bag. She shuffled around and found her law book - would come extremely handy. Last thing, try to locate Shokari and get her to go to the Neon Dusk. Suddenly, there was a knock at her door. Sachiro stiffened. Please don't be who I think it is...
************************************************************************
Sachiro came back with a thick pile of paper work. Excellent. She would be starting her new career in two weeks time. That gives her plenty to get in touch with Sachiro. Now, all she had to do was read and sign this pile of papers that enabled her to start her own architecture firm. A smile played her lips. Lovely.
************************************************************************
Notes:
Mmmph... Well Rhea got ditched eh? PAIN! Sachiro's really quite a capable young woman when she needs to be. She's just... usually bored with the world around her. ( If you guys have any questions at all, just review and I'll answer them. Thanks! Bibi.
