Til Death Do Us Part

Chapter Six

"Ms. Ishikawa, there's another gown we need you to try out. Please proceed to your dressing room."

I turned to the old lady holding a clip file and followed her to my office room. I must admit, my job here has been rather convenient. Everyone is so kind and well... other than being paid high, I'm being treated like a princess. I guess that's just the way models live. Not that I really care about that, but I mean... just this room alone. It's just a dressing room. My dressing room. But it's already trice bigger than my own room back at the apartment. And the furniture and decor, I'm sure are worth millions.

"Here you go." Mrs. Cho said standing beside a mannequin dressed in a sparkling silk gown. "Isn't it a beauty?"

I nodded as I continued staring at it, mesmerized at its splendor. I've never seen such a beautiful dress in my whole life.

Mrs. Cho helped me wear the gown and now I stared at the mirror covered wall. Watching in awe at my reflection.

"You look wonderful. It's perfect on you. The purple shade brings out the color of your eyes."

I felt a blush crept my face as I stood there, watching myself. She doesn't look like me. Not at all. But she is me.

"I couldn't agree with you more Ella."

I turned around surprised and saw him standing by the door. Staring at me. A smile on his face. His dimples showing off again.

"You look like a princess. If I didn't know you, I'd think you are one, milady." He continued bowing grandly at me.

I felt my face burn even more as I stared at the floor. As much as I wanted to, I just couldn't meet his gaze. I don't know why. Don't ask. I just couldn't.



Lady Lucifiel: There. That's much better. neh? The usual request. Please review.
