Blossom tried her best to maintain her composure. She understood that it was just a cheek and there was nothing wrong with it. She looked at Uriel, who was still playfully smiling at her. She took the flowers, and she gave her sweetest smile to Uriel as she realized her plan again.
“Thank you, Uriel.” She told him which made him blush a little. Uriel placed his hand on her waist as if he was trying to tell anyone that he owned her.
“Oh my! Ms. Blossom, I'm thankful that you're available. My final model wasn't available, and she had an emergency.” The designer gave her a tight embrace. Blossom found out that Erin was the second to the last of the models who will do the ramp. Luckily, the last model is her friend, which made her substitute her.
She's willing to pay for her friend, but when she found out why she's doing it, she immediately agreed. She plastered the sweetest smile on her lips as she saw Erin was watching them intently.
“I'm so happy that Veronica suggested you as her substitute. Our audience loved you, I watched you walk to a different ramp on social media, and watched you walk to my ramp! Oh my!” The designer greeted her models but she was too focused on her
The models wanted to get close to Blossom too but they were shy because they thought maybe she was unapproachable. So, Blossom looked at them. She waved her hands to them and greeted them as if she was new in the field.
“Oh! I can't believe that she greeted us even though she's the most paid model right now.”
“I told you, she's too humble.”
“Blossom is too approachable, if it's Erin, she will mock us as if she isn't a mistress of some negotiates.” The model mocked Erin, which made Blossom smirk at Erin.
“Yeah right! Did you see her acting dumb on the stage? I can't believe this. She's too proud when she thinks that she was the final model, but she was wrong!”
“Yeah, she looks surprised that she isn't the finale model. She will be the trend for acting stupid on the stage.” Erin tried to maintain her composure even though she wanted to slap all of her co-models. She couldn't believe that they were trying to bully her even though she was too old for this field.
“Blossom, you surprised me that you're the final model. I thought you have your ramp.” Erin grinned. She crossed her arms. She wanted them to see that she's powerful than her.
“I don't even know that you're one of the models here. Well, I'm not contracted to any agencies, and I have my name.” Blossom replied. She waved her hands to a new model because she knew how hard it was to be a model.
“You have your name but you are still the unwanted wife,” Erin whispered, she thought that her co-models didn't hear her but she was wrong. The women who were near them heard what she was telling Blossom. They started whispering a lot about Erin.
“Being a model isn't too easy, Erin. Why don't you tell us why you're here right now? I know you pulled some strings to be one of the last models.” Blossom widened her eyes and said like she didn't intentionally spit those words. She glanced in different directions and she saw how the other models started gossiping about Erin.
“Are you still bitter that Leo went here because of me? Blossom, I know how you liked Leo so much, but even though you're married to him, you won't get his heart." Erin mocked as she crossed her arms. She arched her brows which made Blossom frown.
“You're an assuming bitchy mistress I knew. How could you be so proud that you're someone's mistress, Erin? Aside from that, you will stay as his mistress and I'm his legal wife.” Blossom tried her best to chuckle when the models were all shocked because of what they heard.
They felt disgusted by Erin even more for being a mistress to Blossom's husband. She wanted to mock and bully her even more because they hated a mistress too much.
“Don't you dare be proud in front of me that you're my husband's mistress because even though, how many times you spread your legs to him? I'm still the one who legally owned him. And you? A pest that I need to remove in my life.” Blossom added. She walked and purposely bumped Erin's shoulder to make Erin fall on the floor.
“Ahh–” Erin shouted. She gets everyone's attention. They were all astounded when they heard her shouting. Erin hid her smirk when she saw Blossom stunned.
“B-Blossom, I don't even do anything against you. Why did you need to push me?” Erin acted like she was about to cry. She innocently looked at other people with them.
“What is happening here? We heard a shout, and they told me that Erin fell on the floor.” The designers quickly went at them. She was confused when she saw that Erin was about to cry while Blossom stared at Erin.
Blossom didn't react. However, she was nervous that she might be bullied by anyone, so she tried her best to not panic.
“I don't even do anything wrong to you, Blossom. I just want to be friends with you.” Erin acted like she was hurt. She sobbed even though no tears were coming out into her eyes.
“Is it true, Ms. Blossom?” The designer quickly asked her. She was disappointed once she found out that it was true. She admired Blossom for being the best model, aside from that she heard that she was too kind and humble.
“Why don't we ask other models here? I know that someone saw what Erin do.” Blossom suggested, which made Erin anxious. She forgot that she isn't the only model in the room, and when she looked at the other models, there was hatred in their eyes.
“I don't want to defend myself here. I know they all see what Erin was trying to do to me.” Blossom added. She understood what Erin was trying to do. Everyone applauded her, and she was envious that she got everyone's attention.
”Okay,” The designer agreed. She glimpsed at her models. “Who saw what Erin did to Ms. Blossom?”
“You don't need to do this. I know they all saw how Blossom pushed me to the floor. I'm the victim here.” Erin's voice is panicked. She gritted her teeth and gasped when her boss didn't even look at her.
“Come on! I need to know the truth! Is it true that Ms. Blossom pushed Erin on the floor?” The design repeated her question. She was hoping to get to know the truth.
“We don't even see Erin was pushed by Ms. Blossom, madam. She talked and disrespect Ms. Blossom. She secretly mocked her as if we didn't even hear anything.” The other models agreed with what their friends told them.
The designer was surprised and moved closer to Erin. She was fuming mad that she was trying to blame Blossom even though it was her fault.
“T-They're lying! They knew that Blossom tried to push me.” Erin stammered. She felt that she lost the game again. She gnashed her teeth in irritation when Blossom gave her a proud look.
“Erin, I don't understand why you're doing this. But, how could you accuse your co-models of lying even though they wanted to tell the truth.” Blossom uttered.
“Blossom, I know that you told them to bully me. You're doing this because I got something that you own.” Erin rebutted.
“Oh, what is that? Tell us, Erin. What do you steal from me? Are you willing to take a risk? Come on, tell them what you did to me. Let's see if they will respect you after that.” Blossom arched her brow, she saw the other models glaring at Erin.
Minutes passed, and Erin didn't say anything. She's proud to be a mistress when it's only Blossom but she's afraid when there are a lot of people watching them. She bit her lips, as she prevented herself from getting mad more.
“Come on! Tell them how dirtier you are. Let's see if you will be accepted in this field. Do you want me to tell them? I'm willing to do that for you.” Blossom sighed. She was pleased that she got her little revenge on Erin. If Erin thought that she was the old Blossom that she knew, she was wrong!
She won't let anyone degrade her. She won't let anyone mock her, especially if it's Erin. Does Erin think that she's scared that Leo might be mad at her? She's not scared!
“Okay– I will tell you all that Erin is my husband—”
“Blossom!” Erin screamed out her lungs. She slowly stood up and there was a trace of fear in her eyes when she realized that Blossom wasn't kidding. If they all found out that she was someone's mistress, a lot of people particularly in their field would mock and humiliate her.
“Oh, you should be proud because of what you did, Erin. After all, you tell me that–”
“Shut up! You bitch!” Erin couldn't control herself anymore. She exploded.
Everyone gasped when Erin acted bitchy in front of Blossom which was Blossom's part of her plan. She chuckled when Erin was stunned by how she acted.
“Erin, how dare you call her a bitch even if you are the one who was trying to set her up. You acted stupid when you ramp, and you should be thankful that I gave you this chance even though, I don't like you to be part of this ramp. The investors told me to put you as my model, and I know why he did that!” The designer was so mad that she even pointed her finger at Erin.
“This will be the last chance that I gave you. You're not part of this ramp anymore. How could you act as if you're too excellent at modeling? Didn't you think that we didn't know what you always did to get the spot?” She added. She bumped Erin's shoulder furiously, which made Erin fall to the floor.
The other models were continuing gossiping about Erin. They are all disgusted that she's too proud to be someone's mistress.
“Erin, why don't you call Leo? And tell him what I did to you?” Blossom smirked when she left the room. She felt glad that Erin finally faced her consequences. She bid her goodbye to other models who are looking at her sympathetically.
She hummed, as she went to the back part of the building. Uriel told her that he will wait for her at the exit part of the building. But, she shrieked when someone grabbed her at the dark spot of the building.
She tried to restrain herself when she smelled a family perfume on her nose. She knew that it was Leo, and she almost screamed when Leo placed his lips on her neck. Leo placed his hand on her lips to prevent her from shouting.
"How dare you go here with Uriel, Blossom? Are you pushing me to do something bad to you?” Leo murmured which made her gasp in fear. She smelled alcohol on his breath.
She tried to push him away from her but Leo held her right as if he didn't have any plans to free her.
“Why don't you tell anyone that you're married to me? You acted single in front of me. What will you do if I let Uriel suffer because of you?"
“Don't try my patience, Blossom. I will do everything to make Uriel out of this country. You will not see him as long as I live.” Leo sucked her neck which made her try to push him again.
“I'm not kind, Blossom. I'm selfish, and I don't want to share what I owned.”
