Chapter 2 - Signed my soul

Isabella Clark

I got back to my makeup table where i could see Kelsie who was sitting next to my chair with her eyes were looking straight into her phone screen.

I finally got back after closing the show, it was fantastic and the dress were so beautiful. It felt like i didn't want to take it off, cause it was that beautiful.

It had been a month since i broke up with Anthony, he seemed alright with that. He told me that he was bored of me who couldn't have a time for him so he cheated on me, how could he do that? Why didn't he just tell me that he needed my time? Why he had to blame it on me when it was clearly his fault. The fact that he didn't feel sorry still hurt me, especially seeing him with another girl in social media.

"By the way get you ass up miss Clark we have an emergency meeting with your modeling agency after this" Kelsie said and she finally looked up at me who was wearing a robe.

"What's the meeting about?" I asked her.

"There's some very interesting project for you" she said.

"What is it?" I asked her.

"You'll know" she said.

We got into the main agency building where everyone was being so nice to me, every people that walked passed by was smiling and some of them greeted me.

I entered the room with Kelsie behind me and i could see Martha was sitting at her actual chair and i could see a smile on her face, i hoped it was a good sign for that day's meeting.

"Good evening, how are you?" Martha greeted me and i smiled.

"Good, how are you?" I asked her back.

"Good, hi Kels" she said.

"So what is it?" I asked her after taking a seat right in front of her while Kelsie was taking a seat on the sofa next to Martha's table.

"We got a special business partner this month and it is also a rare project for the agency"

"We discussed this project together with the others and we thought you're the one who capable for this rare project" Martha smiled and it made me smile somehow.

"What is it?" I asked her.

"Kelsie hasn't told you has she?" Martha asked.

And i turned her question with a shaken head, why she didn't want to tell me when she already knew it?

"Just tell me" i said.

"The project isn't from a famous brand or a famous designer but is none other than one of the most popular empires in the US" Martha explained.

"The company is asking us to choose one of the most capable model that can date the son next on the line, Alexander Adams" Martha explained and i gasped, Kelsie how didn't you tell me about this..

I sent Kelsie a glare before looking back into Martha who kept explaining how it works before showing me the document from the Adams Empire.

I've heard about Alexander Adams before, but i heard about his bad reputation as a guy that couldn't kept his hands off a different woman every week. I've heard that he had a lot of celebrities friends too which made him pretty popular on the magazine. I haven't seen him in a real life but the tabloids said that he wasn't really a good guy.

"Excuse me, Alexander Adams?" I asked her once more just to make sure that I wasn't wrong.

"Yeah, he's a 25 years old man and need to clear up His reputation so he can get his dad position as the next CEO of the Adams empire, Mr Alexander Adams" She explained and i started to open up the documents in front of me.

My hands opened up the paper in front of me then my eyes started to read the contract, what i have to do and what I shouldn't do. But something caught me, it was more like a script for a movie casting but it didn't have a line to remember it was only the situation.

"A social media post? Seriously?"

"Is it a dating contract or an endorsement" i laughed.

"Why me?" I asked her.

"Cause you're the most capable one, you have everyone's heart, your beautiful, you are a sweet girl everyone knows you as a good girl" she said, then i looked into the floor.

"And Kelsie agree about it" she said.

"What?!" I said that made Kelsie finally opened up her eyes to look into me.

"Yeah i mean, it is a rare project yeah?" Kelsie asked Martha.

Martha let out a breath then looked at me with a smile, "no need to worry, you two can talk while I'm going to make a cup of coffee" she said before walking out of her office.

"Kelsie? Seriously?" I asked her.

"Yes it has a lot of benefits that will affect you, first your name, people's attention, when you got a lot of attention you're going to have a lot of projects and jobs it's good for your career"

"But it isn't like that Kels, i could do much more than this dating contract" i said.

"And have you heard about Alexander Adams before? He's a player! Everyone is going to be so sorry for me" i said.

"Come on Bell, until when are you going to stay in a formal line? this is a new thing"

"Besides you can make Anthony regrets everything he did to you by leaving the gorgeous Isabella Clark" she said but it wasn't helping.

"But"

"Ugh"

I saw Martha was on her way to get back to her office and that was the moment where i should make a decision in a minute. Kelsie turned her head around then realized that Martha was on her way back to the room, and she was probably expecting the answer.

"I hate you Kels" I rolled my eyes.

"You'll thank me later" she smiled and i turned my chair around to face Martha's table.

Martha walked in with two cups of ice coffee blended and a bottle of water, she sent me a smile before handing Kelsie a cup of an ice coffee then gave me a bottle of water cause she knew I didn't like coffee. I actually couldn't drink it cause my stomach is sensitive, it is also sensitive with a spicy food too.

"So how's it? Miss Clark?" Martha asked me after taking a seat on her chair.

I take a deep breath then looked into Kelsie who was so calm and seemed so sure with that arrangements.

"Okay I'm in" i said.

"Good, Mrs Adams is expecting you to come into the Adams empire building tonight at 7pm" she said.

"The office is probably going to be close at 6pm so you don't have to be worry, it must be only some of the employees that still working late but I'm expecting not so much people is still in the office" she said.

"That's no problem i got Kelsie" i said to her.

"Woah I'm sorry i forgot that today is actually my husband's birthday so i cannot" she sent me a smile and i knew that she knew how much i was so pissed of her that day.

"Okay then whatever" i said.

"So this is the contract you can bring it home then signed it after you read all of them before you bring it into the Adams Empire building" She said before dismissing me and Kelsie from her office.

"Adams Empire building 7pm 21st Floor" was the last thing she said.

~

"Okay 21st floor" i said before walking out of the car hoping that no one would see me, or no paparazzi would see that I was walking into the Office building.

I got into the office building and went straight into the 21st floor, and just like Martha said to me everyone was left the building was pretty empty and my heart was beating fast as my eyes were watching the number that getting close into the 21st floor.

Once the bell was ringing the door was opened I didn't know why but my heart was beating so fast once it revealed the all black marble floor in front of me. The office was already empty only some of them that was still there, i walked out and greeted by a woman with a dark brown mid length hair.

"Good evening Miss Clark, Mrs Adams is already waiting for you at his office" she smiled.

"Hi, oh yeah thank you" i said to her with a polite smile, and was hoping that Alexander Adams was going to be as polite as his employee.

"Oh and your coat please" she smiled then i took of my coat.

I slowly walked behind the woman straight into the main black door at the end of the long hall she walked in first then tell him that i was there, i was so nervous and didn't expect a thing from him.

I walked in and greeted by a beautiful lady who wear a black dress and a diamond necklace, she sent me a smile before welcomed me with a warmth smile.

"You must be Isabella" she welcomed me with a smile.

"Yes, it is nice to meet you Mrs Adams" i told her.

"Please call me Juliet" she said before telling me to come inside then have a seat on the sofa in the middle of the room.

"Have a seat" she smiled.

"Thank you" i said.

"Alex come on" She said.

I could see a man with a dark brown hair and serious brown eyes was writing on his glass desk. His eyes were looking straight into the paper until his eyes finally looked up at mine, our eyes met and my body was shivering because of his strong stares.

His jaw clenched before putting down of his pen, he looked up then finally got up from his seat which I found out that he was so tall and i was so sure that he was taller than me.

His office room was huge and i could tell the furnitures were all expensive, i could see the beautiful view from the glass wall right behind him. If i was him it would be very comfortable for me to stay there for a long long time while facing a beautiful view especially at night like this.

"So Miss Clark it is so nice to have you here, the modeling agency called me this afternoon and I couldn't feel happier" She said and i smiled, his mom was so kind and humble while he stayed in a silent.

"So have you signed the contract?" She asked me with a sweet smile.

"I actually haven't signed it but there are so many things that i want to discuss before i signed it" I politely said.

"Oh that is actually fine, but I'm so sorry that i have to catch a flight is it okay if I leave you both so you can negotiate it together?" She asked me.

"Yes Alex?" She asked her son and he turned his question with a simple nodded.

"Okay i gotta go now, you two have fun" she asked before grabbing on her purse the left us two.

Once the door being closed it was only me and him in the middle of the big room, it was getting awkward when he said nothing when his mom left.

"So actually there are so many things that you have to know before 'you' signed into my contract riders" i said before putting out the file from my bag.

"You know I actually didn't plan this at all, I don't want to do this but my mom made me to" he said and it kinda hurts my feelings, it felt like i was the one who needed him while the actual fact was he needed me.

"I didn't want all of these too but i'll loose my rating if i reject this 'rare project' from my agency Mr Adams" i said.

"Call me Alex" he sounded like he felt uncomfortable when i called him formally.

"You have to read it first" i said.

"Just tell me the most important thing, the main point about it, cause my brain is too tired to read those stupid contracts" he said before getting up from his seat.

What a jerk.

"First of all this project can not disturb my professional job in my modeling career, include my schedule whenever it is or however you needed me to attend some event" i said while he was walking back to his chair.

"Second, all of our action are going to be base by the stunt scripting there's no more"

"No feelings"

"No sex" i said, he was leaning onto his black leather chair when he suddenly cracked into a smirk once i said that.

"That's it" i said to him.

"Of course I won't, i prefer professionalism Miss Clark"

"That is why my mom contact your modeling agency cause we know that they're going to be responsible towards their minions" he said while typing on his laptop.

He is so arrogant and rude, i was there just because of my rating and my job not for him. He sounded like i was the one who desperate for his feelings.

"You don't have to be so rude cause you're the one who needs me here" i said to him.

"I didn't want to date anyone though it was all because of my mom who was too worried about my dad's position" he mumbled while i could still hear all the words he said.

"So what do you want me to do now" i asked him cause I didn't know what to do more except arguing with him.

"I just want you to keep it as a secret, nobody can know this besides your agency and manager" he said and his hazel brown eyes looking at my eyes.

"You cannot tell this to your friends and family" he said.

"How about best friend?" I asked him.

"That's the same thing" he said.

"That's it" he said.

"You have to sign it first" i said before i put the contract right on his desk.

"You too" he said then i take a seat right in front of him to sign up the contract.

We signed it together then i knew i just sold my soul into the devil for the next 2 years, which meant i was going to stuck with the devil for the next 2 years of my life.
