Royal Princess: Doted On By The Mafia King

Ten minutes of waiting and did not come in to accept her offer. She sighed with a slight pout. She was disappointed but picked her smartphone and dialed Debby's phone number. This show meant a lot to her. It was her first public leap.

She knew she had a talent for fashion designing and her clothes will not lose face among the clothes other competitors made. Her mind was set on Anna wearing the dress since it was her birthday gift to her and Anna was easily persuaded so nothing was going to go wrong.

However, Anna failed her. She could only blame herself for not making an alternative good enough. She sighed again as the number kept dialing.

"Hello," she said as soon as Debby responded.

"Hey, why are you calling me all of a sudden?" Debby asked with a teasing tone since Rose has almost never called before. At least she could not remember an occasion where Rose called her.

"Did you hear about the fashion show the school is organizing?" she asked immediately without beating around the bush although hiding her impatience.

"Yeah. My cousin is participating. I heard you are going to participate too," Debby answered.

"Yeah but I need a model. I want you to do it," she told her straightforwardly hoping Debby accepts her offer.

"I can't," her answer almost literally crushed Rose's heart.

"Why?" Rose asked hurriedly unable to hide her impatience any longer.

"I don't know anything about modelling. Ask your sister to help. She spent a lot time with your mum at her work place. She knows more about fashion than I do. I could be your model's make up artist though. Sorry," Debby replied truthfully.

"Oh . . ." Rose's shoulder slumped at she really wanted to scream out as loud as she can hoping it shakes the whole building but a thread of restraint held her back. "Thank you then," she said as she hung up as dropped her bed with her back.

This was nearly the first step. She crushed and smashed the thought she had of it being her first leap. She was obviously unable to even crawl. She was the best art student from test, projects and the last midterm examination.

Her competitive spirit told her she was going great and could do better but he she was so unable to make it to the school she hoped to make it to in order to enter the palace. She really wanted to cry at this point but she shook off that thought.

I was actually not over yet. She picked her phone which she had dropped beside her on the bed. She was disappointed with her poor planning skill that messed up what she had not even started. She was supposed to have a ready alternative but she was too busy placing her hope on a single person.

She did not hate Rose for this but she was not happy about it either. It was all her fault. She built something but she did not make an escape route for herself. She had no money, she did not want her mother to interfere with this project.

It had to be done solely by her effort and at this point she was angry with herself for being so naïve. She had only five days to the show. The show was visited by a lot people to see what the new talents of the year would be.

It was going to be aired live and the judges were five renowned fashion designers including her mother. They are so good that the best among them was definitely not going to be left unknown in the fashion industry.

Her school took all their talent shows very important because it was a huge source of publicity as well as funds. Their talents in fashion designing were not to be looked down upon because someone has to be talented and smart to strive in the class.

That was the same thing for other talents. They were strict about bringing the best in their shows to keep their world known reputation going. All their students could make it to very good colleges after graduation. Their talent shows were a good enough debut for most of their students and some of them just simply dive into whatever they want to after that debut.

She had considered moving right into the fashion designing world but she concluded it was best for her to go to college. She wanted to go to the college she always dreamt of attending in her past life. It was her dream college but she could not since she graduated from a no name high school somewhere in Y country and she had nothing to boast of her talent with.

This was a better opportunity. She had could shine through this show. She was confident of her talent. It took her two years to study hard and few months of practical in school but she was still confident. Her teacher also told her she was going to do better than anyone else.

Getting a model was not hard since this show was also a debut for the models. Three world supermodels made their debut during the fashion show. It was a hope for a lot of people and a lot of them will be willing to do it for free since most of the other students were using professional models.

Not using a professional model could turn out to be a disadvantage on her part but she lacked money and she trust that Anna was not going to do bad. She decided to post a job offer on the school's website. Most of the students in the school were rich and might not need money from her to do the job but she promised them a dress.

And for those who might want the money, she was willing to pay but there was a very low possibility that any of them might ask for money. She decided to hypnotize herself with that thought since she no money to pay.

The winner of the competition leaves with an almost sure college admission, half a million dollars, a high probability of find a fashion designing who is ready to train him or her as an apprentice, job after high without needing to go to college, and a popularity.

This event and many other events organized makes a lot of students leave their countries just to attend the high school.

A while later, her phone made a ding sound indicate a new message. Someone was interested in the offer. 'Hi, I am a model, I have always wanted to appear in a fashion show. I only got to do a few commercials but I really hope I will get to appear on a fashion show.'

Rose sat up cross-legged on her bed ready to talk more with the girl to see if she was fit. She had to find someone the cloth would fit. The theme was 'night time date'.

Her hand barely touched the keys on the screen of her smartphone when Anna ran into the room and grabbed the phone from Rose. She glanced at the message with a frown and began typing something fast on the screen. She returned the phone back to Rose and kept frowning with her hands folded on her chest while Rose read the what she just typed and sent to the girl.

"Thank you very much but I have found a model," Rose read out loud and looked at her sister waiting for an explanation.

"Well, you have a model why are you trying to find someone else," Anna asked trying her best not to sound awkward.

"My model quit. I need a new model," Rose answered sternly and began typing on the screen.

"I said you have a model," Anna repeated her hands slowly unfolding and she sat on Rose's.

"This fashion show is important. I might not get the chance to do it again next year so . . ."

"Relax I have it covered."

Rose did not answer her but kept using her phone.

"Fine, I am sorry."

"You did nothing wrong. I found a new model. This girl have a good record and she is popular. You should know her in school. I see her frequently. She is perfect," Rose answered getting down from her bed. The girl had sent her picture to Rose and Rose was interested in the girl. With a little make-up, the girl will have a sharp wild beauty. The girl also had a little experience so, she was good enough.

"I used to model when I was very young. I stopped because I felt it was a waste of time. Mum saw I didn't like it so, she told me to stop. This girl have never walked on the runaway. I will do it," Anna said confident of her ability.

"You are perhaps worse than her. She . . ."

"There is no way she is better than me." Anna humped pouting her lower lips.
