Sinbad kept asking her about the modeling job. Every break he talked to her about it. She wanted him to leave her alone. He had this way of talking people into things, and she didn't want to fall to his persuasion and end up regretting things later.

At the end of the day while Aladdin was getting ready to go to dinner with Judal Sinbad got a phone call. He wasn't happy with whoever was on the other side of the call. He was arguing loudly. When he got off he went over to Aladdin and Ugo.

"Bad news, the clothing line I wanted you to model for got a different actress."

"Oh, that's too bad, I guess we will just have to find you another modeling job Aladdin." Ugo was just a bit sarcastic. He didn't like the job Sinbad had chosen for Aladdin.

"I thought you said they requested me specifically Sinbad, what happened?" Aladdin put her acting skills to use, adding disappointment and confusion to her voice. She knew exactly what had happened.

"Some big-shot model said she wanted to do the shoot. Since she is older they preferred her to you. I'm sorry Aladdin."

"It's okay! We can just try for another one. If I let this get to me it wouldn't be good, so you don't feel bad either!" Ugo was impressed with how well Aladdin was selling the innocent act. He had the feeling she had orchestrated this little road block.

"Aladdin, we need to get going. Solomon made the reservations for twenty minutes from now and it will take us that long to get there."

"Where are you guys going?"

"Oh, dad, Ugo, and I are going to have dinner together at a new restaurant! Dad wants to ask me some questions about the homeschool program so that he can add to it and make it better, and since I finished all the lessons they designed, he wants to know what else I want to learn." She looked at her phone. "Ugo, we only have ten minutes to get there not twenty. Come on we have to hurry! Bye Sinbad."

Aladdin grabbed her bag and Ugo's hand and ran off to his car. She waited until they were on the road and out of sight before she sent Judal a text. He replied with a time and place for her to meet him. She had never heard of it before. He gave her an hour. Ugo took her home first, letting her change her hair, taking it out of the braid she had and brushing it out and leaving it down. She grabbed purse, changed into a cocktail dress and heels (Ugo had informed her that it was a rather fancy Italian place about fifteen minutes away from home,) and applied a little bit more makeup then she had put on at the studio. She hadn't expected him to choose a fancy restaurant, thinking he would choose a casual place instead. It wasn't like she was complaining. She liked dressing up. She made a call as she followed Ugo back to his car.

"Aladdin? How are you?"

"I'm great! Thank you so much for the favor. I really wasn't comfortable doing that job."

"Anything for you. I'm happy to help, what else are big sister's for? What was that man thinking having you do something like this though? I didn't start doing this kind of stuff until I turned twenty."

"I don't know, but it made me nervous."

The conversation continued until Ugo pulled up in front of the restaurant to drop Aladdin off.

"Oh, I have to go now! I just got to the restaurant. I'll talk to you later. Bye Hakuei!"

It was short, I know. But Judal and Aladdin are having dinner together in the next chapter!

The poll is going down soon so take some time if you haven't checked it yet.

Until Next Time
