Chapter seven: Photoshoot

Jeffrey

Flipping through the folder, I leaned back in my chair as I read everything we needed to cover. Our fall collection had recently been released but winter was coming soon and we needed to start working on the new holiday pieces. I rubbed my forehead in angst, wanting nothing more than a day off and relaxation. But how can I do that when there was a lot of work for me to handle.

Having lunch with Jessica was the best of my day. I am definitely less stressed when ever I am around her, she is kind of my distraction. A knock on my door broke me of my thoughts.

"Come in."

Jorge entered, closing the door behind him and walked up to my desk.

"So, Jessica, huh?" I rolled my eyes.

"Don't start." He held his hands up in defense.

"What? I am just saying, she is a huge step in different directions."

"What are you saying?"

"Well, she is definitely younger than you are."

"She is twenty, Jorge." Her age is something I didn't want to discuss.

"At least, she is legal." My head snapped up and my eyes narrowed.

"What do you want?"

"Why are you seeing a younger woman?" He placed his hand on the chair in front of me.

"You are forty and she is just now able to drink legally." I put my elbow on my desk, leaning my head into my hand.

"Anything else you would like to tell me that I don't know already?"

"What would Gladys say about this?" I glared at him.

"She is no longer in my life, she doesn't have a say in who I associate with."

"Fine but just make sure you don't do anything stupid."

"Get out, Jorge." I groaned then I heard my door open and close.

I leaned back in my chair, knowing fully well that what I was doing wasn't exactly great but I didn't feel bad about it. Jessica is a nice girl with good intentions. Another knock ratted on my door, causing me to roll my eyes but I answered anyway.

"Come in." Juliet entered, her red lips pressed to a thin line.

"Mr.Craig, the head of the marketing team is here to see you. Shall I send him in?" I nodded.

"Yes, please."

She moved out of the doorway and allowed my marketing director Anthony to enter.

"Good to see you, Jeffrey." He stretched his hand and I took it in mine.

"Winter collection is bound to be out in a few weeks."

"I am excited, what is it that you needed to talk to me about?"

"Well, as you know. We are working on getting the photoshoot for Vogue booked. The thing is that they want a brand new face."

"A brand new face?"

"Yes, apparently. They will agree to do the photoshoot if we get some new models, they don't want the same men and women we have been using for the past months. They want some fresh new looks."

"Is that all they want?" I asked, opening the folder Jorge gave me, jotting down some extra notes.

"Just some new models?" He nodded.

"Jorge asked me to get a hold of them for you and they would love to promote the new winter clothing. They want one or two models to do the photoshoot alongside a couple veterans." I nodded, quickly writing down his request.

"Got it and we can discuss this at the meeting tomorrow."

"Yes of course." He stood up, getting ready to leave.

"If you could have the names and numbers of the models you would like to have for the photoshoot ready for the meeting tomorrow, it would be great. I will work with the marketing team about getting a hold of the ones we narrow down."

"That sounds good, Anthony." He left my office.

There were a few models we had recently hired for the fall collection but they haven't done much work. I would have to take that list tomorrow but there is one person I think would be perfect for the holiday collection shoot.

*Jessica pov

I was already done with my three lectures today. I was back in my hostel, placing my backpack on my desk and sitting on my bed. I brought my phone out to see that Janice had texted me. I didn't reply, just simply waited for her arrival. Soon enough, she walked through the doorway, plopping down on Olivia's bed.

"Hi," I said.

"My brother is visiting campus this weekend." She muttered.

"Why is he visiting?"

"He is free on Thursday and Friday for some reason so he decided the best thing to do is to visit his little sister."

Her brother was studying in another university, I am not going to lie. I had a huge crush on him when I was in high school. He was the hot running back on the football team that everyone wanted to be friends with. Of course, I never told his sister about it because I valued our friendship way more than a boy.

"Will you cover me if I faked being sick?" I shook my head as I felt my phone buzz beside me.

"Hello," I said as I picked up the call.

"Hello, Princess." Jeffrey's voice rang.

"Could you please come to my office by nine tomorrow , I would like to model for my new collection tomorrow."

Seriously, modeling for him? I have thought of this in my wildest imagination. He wants me to model, he is offering me a job? I have done this kind of job before but for some reason, I am so excited to work for him and be closer to him all the time.

"Yes, I can make it."

"Perfect, I will have the car waiting for you. You don't have to dress in anything specific, you will be provided clothes once we get to the shoot."

"O…okay, I will see you at nine."

"Bye, Princess and thanks so much for this. I really appreciate you accepting my offer without giving you notice."

"I am glad you did, I really do a job. Bye then."

I have classes tomorrow but I don't feel bad that I am going to skip classes. This is the first time I am skipping classes for my own personal reason. What has gotten Into me? Janice was looking at me as I hung up the call.

"I just got hired to be a model."

"What the hell, Jessica?" She said, screaming over and joining me on my bed.

"Who are you modeling for?" I continue to stare at my phone.

"Jeffrey's company." She immediately engulfed me in a huge hug.

"Oh my goodness, Jessica. You are going to model Jeffrey's clothing!" I shrugged.

"I know modeling will look good on her, you just have the perfect body size for modeling. And at the same time, you will be closer to him at all times, huh?"

"Goodness, Janice. Just drop the sugar daddy thing. What if he is not even like that?"

"Seriously, Jessica?" He is forty and falling for a twenty year old girl. You are his sugar baby."

Am I really his sugar baby? But why am I not feeling bad about it? It was like it had been what I wanted a long time ago. I had been craving for a man like Jeffrey all my life.

The next morning, I woke up early so I could shower and have time for breakfast. My heart had been skipping beats all day, the anxiety rising the closer it came for the driver to pick me up.

I was nervous, excited, anxious and happy all in one. I thanked Luke for driving me before I stepped out of the car. I walked in the building and this time no of the receptionist interrupted me.

I made my way to his office, he was sitting on his desk, scribbling something down on the paper in front of him. The noise from closing the door caught his attention, his head snapped up and he smiled at me.

"Hello, Princess." He stood up.

"Hi, Jeff. How are you?"

"I am fine, better now that you are here." I blushed, tucking a curl behind my ear.

"So, photoshoot?" I tried changing the subject from his comment.

"Yes, you will be modeling for Vogue today." I stare at him confused.

"I thought I would just be modeling for InCraig today?" He smirked.

"Well, we were going to but I decided you should model for a proper magazine and as well as model a specific clothing selection for this shoot." He motioned for me to follow him.

"Hey, Jorge. Jessica is for the shoot, is the space ready." He said as we walked into Jorge's office.

"Yes, the photography should be all set up and ready to go. Shall I escort her down there?" He nodded.

"I will be down there before the shoot starts, I just have to make a quick call about the vogue shoot. You will be fine." I nodded, he leaned in to kiss my cheek but quickly caught himself, licking his lips and smiling awkwardly.

Jorge led me to the dressing room where I saw a rack of Jeffrey's designs, all labeled with numbers for the order I was supposed to wear.

"Jeffrey will be with you in a bit. He will give you all the directions before you start the shoot. Hair and makeup are ready for you, so change into the over there and let Jeffrey know when you are ready." I nodded, a little overwhelmed but I think I could handle this.

Jorge left and I used the opportunity to remove my clothes and shoes. I laid it neaty on the couch since I didn't know where else to drop them. I began to unbutton my pants but I nearly had a heart attack when the door opened and Jeffrey walked in. Immediately I noticed that my bra was exposed, I quickly covered my chest, facing away from him.

"Oh my goodness, Jeffrey." I gasped

"Don't you knock?"

"I thought you would already be in the robe by now." I heard him chuckle.

"Don't be embarrassed, Princess."

He came closer to me, his hand hugged me from behind, sending waves all through my body. He placed kissing on my bare skin and in between my legs were already tribbing.

"If you would excuse me, I would love to get changed in peace." He rolled his eyes and I could see the hint of playfulness on his face.

"Hair and makeup is on the way, you will be modeling the holiday collections for vogue. We will have about five different changes, so it might take a couple of hours." I nodded.

"By the way, nice bra. It looks good on you." He whispered.


After finishing the last set of photos, I thanked the photographer. He was super nice and funny, making my first ever photoshoot less uncomfortable and overwhelming. I went back to the dressing room, changing from the black gown back into my robe. I sat down on the couch waiting for Jeffrey to return to give me the directions of what I do next.

My phone was going wild with messages from Janice, asking how it was going. I replied back, telling her that all is fine and I am done with the photoshoot. Jeffrey walked in and I set my aside, watching as he flipped through a folder with a firm look on his face.

"Okay, you just need to sign this form." He pulled out a folder and placed it on the coffee table in front of me.

"Basically, what the paper is saying is that we have your permission to publish the photos we choose to vogue." I nodded.

I scanned through the folder, it was an agreement saying that I wouldn't sue the company or post rude things about them on social media. That was okay by me, I signed the contract and handed it back to him.

"Thanks so much, Princess. You now officially our model. You can change back into your clothes, we are done for the day."

"Okay."

Standing up but unfortunately for me, as I was walking towards the makeup counter where my clothes were laid, my robe got hooked on the dress rack beside me and untied the belt. The robe fell off my shoulders and I barely caught the silk fabric, looking embarrassed as Jeffrey's eyes snapped towards my exposed bare chest again.

"Goodness, I am such a mess today." I hastily pulled the robe back over my shoulders and tied the belt.

Jeffrey chuckled, tossing the folder down on the counter and walking over and adjusting the robe.

His touch sent my body into a frenzy, making it harder to resist him as he leaned forward. His lips brushing mine and teasing me, I made the initiative to close the gap between us and our lips connecting and the sparks flying.

He hummed in my mouth, his hands snaking down my waist and tightening his grip, pulling me closer. Our lips were molded together and he only broke it momentarily to turn around and lock the dressing room door, hastily returning his mouth to mine and not even giving me a chance to register before slipping his tongue between my lips.

He slipped his hands under my rear, hoisting me up and onto the counter. As he untied my robe, his lips remained on mine, never missing a beat. His large hand wrapped one of my breasts and squeezed it hard, making me moan into his mouth. He grinned, slipping the robe all the way off my shoulders.
