Chapter 52

• Ariana's POV
• "Nervous?" Olivia asked as I met her eyes through the mirror, the day has finally arrived, cameras, press, staff, and the boards were already seated and waiting to see the new face of the fashion bureau, I nodded at Olivia's question, I was indeed very nervous, I stared at my reflection in the mirror, I look scared, otherwise there was only reflection of beauty, I took some minute to admire my beauty, Olivia had done a great job, I couldn't believe that the once ugly duckling was the one staring back at me, "you look beautiful" Olivia said, resting her hands on my shoulders. A knock sounded on the door, we both stared at each other, "I guess it's time" she nodded, ", don't be so nervous, besides, the boss is there for you" I nodded at that reassurance, Dylan's presence will do a lot to calm my nerves, I have to go look for him," do me a favor please, can you help me check if he's already there?"
• "What, he should be there already, no need to worry, just go, everyone is waiting for you" I held her hands in a pleading gesture, "please Olivia, just check once, I need to make sure that he's there before I step out" she rose her hands in a surrendering gesture, "alright " I smiled and took a deep breath when she went out to check, I paced nervously, why wasn't she coming back? I waited for five minutes, when she still wasn't back, I decided to check on her, I peeped into the hall through the curtain but she wasn't in there, everyone was seated in expectations for my show up, in a few minutes, I'll be made to walk on that runway, for now, musicals were going on, I scanned around to catch a glimpse of Dylan, he wasn't in his reserved seat neither was he anywhere, where could he be? I caught a glimpse of Damien, Dylan must have asked him to come, I mustn't fluke this, I'll quickly go and look for Dylan, I turned back and bumped into Olivia, "where were you?"
