____________________________________
Someone POV
A strapless, gold sequin dress. She looked like a gorgeous goddess wearing it. She had a good feature like curves , did it seem to make her look confidently beautiful. I saw her when the room door is swang open. I manage to see her, She looked so different when she handles a company or being a model in an agency.
" Beryl, let's go. Manager Lim is already waiting for us! " Jasper said to me as he pulled me with him.
" I told you that where at allowed in this floor! Why you come here. If manager knows about this, this will cause trouble you bastard! " Jasper said.
I exhale and didn't mind his statement and followed him from behind.
" The party will start after a few minutes. " I heard Garnet said as he went out of a room from the same floor where we are right now. He is wearing a black and white suit and tie, he smiled at me and went In front of me and said.
" You seek, don't you? You can approach her in when the party is already started. " He uttered and walked away with Jasper.
" What are you doing here? " I asked.
" Likewise Beryl, Visiting Amethyst always. " Jasper teased Garnet, but garnet didn't react about it.
" Are you two together? That's what the public says, also there's a lot of news / rumors about it. " I asked garnet.
" Stupid for you to believe on those lies. You know it's just business right? " He asked me this time.
" Right. " I agreed and didn't say a thing .
When we enter the Conference Hall and saw inside. It's elegant and fabulous! For my 5 years of working part-time in this agency, this is the first time they planned a grand welcome for a newbie model. She might be so special. Lucky for her. I looked around and saw Iris wearing an off shoulder black shinny dress matching black stiletto. She waved her hand at me and I decided to go to her.
" Hey Iris, you look beautiful tonight! " I said.
" Shut up and leave, Beryl. " She said and drink her red wine on her hand and rolled her eyes on me.
" Beryl, where's Neelam? I have never seen her in the rooms? Also, Manager Lim is not around. " Iris asked.
" I don't know, around 2 in the afternoon I saw her with Jude. They went to a coffee shop nearby to buy some coffee. " I answered.
" Ahh. " Iris replied and walked away to get another cup of wine.
I sit down on the chair where we Precious Glem is assigned to sit. I looked around and wait for other Glem Models in my team to arrive. After a couple of minutes : Sapphire, Painite and Goshenite.
Sapphire is holding on Goshenite's arm. While smiling widely to the camera. Numerous reporters and camera man's around the corner to take a picture of us. While Painite is putting his hands on his pocket while walking slowly, walking like a model as always.
" Hey Painite. " An reporter said and ready to ask some questions.
" We saw some article about you with a local nurse in a hospital. Last weekend, is that true? Who is she? " The girl reporter said.
Instead of answering the question, I grab Jude with me and walked towards our table. We are still waiting for the other models in Hidden Glem since they are like the queen and kings. Oh! so very important persons.

     Third POV
" Good Evening ladies and gentlemen! Today is the day we welcome a new member of the family in the agency. The lucky charm that the Glem is looking for,  is now here. To bring luck and success! Now please help me welcome! Emerald Glem ~ " The girl emcee said.
When she entered the venue area as the wooden door of the conference room opened. The girl with a gold mask walked in, that make the crowd say silent because of her presence. I stared at her, she is looking around as she smiled to the crowd. When she arrived in the stage, a man help her in walking to go on the stage and make a speech.

                           El : Emerald POV
I walked towards the stage. Flashing of cameras only was I saw. I smiled from the crownd and walked gracefully. When I reached in the stage, I bow down to the emcee as she handed me the mic.
I exhale before I start my speech. My heart beat increase and I'm little nervous as everyone's eyes on me. I smiled before I spoke.
I spent my childhood watching Australia's Next Top Model. I recall strutting down the living room while Lilith Brooke and her panel of judges tore young girls apart on national television. As I got older, I discovered the Sydney Fashion Show, and I'd binge watch these tall, beautiful, super skinny women parade down the runway while sitting in our living room, pretending to be one of them.
I've also noticed how quickly models, in particular, fade away. Every day, there are new faces entering the industry. They are enthusiastic for the first few weeks, then gradually fade away. In my opinion, this is due to a lack of funding in the industry, as well as the fact that photographers can pick and choose which models they want to work with, whereas models typically do not. Normally, I will have to approach photographers or respond to their advertisements when they are looking for models to fulfill their concept. I might or might not get cast. Photographers prefer to work with models they have previously worked with for obvious reasons.
Being a model is similar to being a salesperson, except your product is yourself. I have a strong dance and movement background that many models lack, which makes me appealing, but I still need to work on my facials and studio lighting. Working on set has taught me how to make photographers want to work with me again.
Because it is considered a form of self-expression, fashion is becoming increasingly important in an individual's life. Clothing and accessories help men and women identify with a group of people, whether that group is defined by a lifestyle, profession, religion, or attitude. As a result, the term "fashion" has become synonymous with the country's overall development.
Several factors influence the overall evolution of fashion. It is widely acknowledged that the rich and famous, as well as politicians and royalty, have always influenced fashion trends. The advertising media also plays a role in keeping us informed about daily style checks.
First and foremost, the industry has given me renewed confidence in myself. I can use my skill set to create art that people admire. I get to meet and make friends with wonderful people who I would not have met otherwise. I've seen some incredible photography and models who, whether they realize it or not, I now look up to. In many ways, the experienced industry is extremely helpful.
I'm happy to be one of the aspiring models in Glem Modeling Agency, thank you for choosing and believing in my passion. I hope you enjoy your night and thank you for listening.
After I did my speech, I went down on stage and Miss Danica approach me. I walked towards her and hug her as I whispered.
" Thank you, Miss Danica, I own you a lot. " I said.
She hug me back and she uttered these words.
" Welcome to my team, I'll contact you once we have already an upcoming photoshoot. "
I nodded my head and walk with her towards our assigned table. Miss Danica excuses herself that she will go to the heads in the another table. She also told me that she will introduce me later on. I didn't response, but I smiled at her. When she left, I saw Neelam waving her hand at me.
I already know here among other models in precious glems. We actually meet yesterday at the coffee shop since I want to drink a hot coffee. I'm wondering that she already know me? Maybe Miss Danica already share some information about me before I go to the agency and signed it. She is wearing a navy-blue strapless fitted dress, matching her blue killer heels. She looked so pretty on her outfit, I don't have doubt why Glem Agency picked her as one of the precious glems model.
I walked towards their table when I accidentally bumped with someone. My wine on my glass that I'm holding, throw on the person's clothes. I was shocked, and I don't know what to do. I saw in ph vision that everyone is looking at us while minding their own business too. I bow my head and asked for an apology when someone hold me hand and said.
" No need to do that. " He whispered into my ear and give me.
I pull him away and cleared my throat and said.
" I'm sorry, o didn't mean to. " I uttered.
" It's fine. It's a pleasure to meet you, Emerald. " I added.
" Thank you. " She said.
" What's your name? " She asked me.
" I'm Onyx, one of the Glem Model. " I answered and give my hands to her and asked for a handshake. She smiled at me and accepted it.
" Can I have this dance, My Lady? " I uttered when I saw Beryl is coming on our way.
" Sure. " She said and accept my hand as I walked her towards the center of the event area as the instrument jazz music played.
" You looked familiar, I think I heard your voice. " She stated.
" Do I know you? " She asked her curiosity.
" No, My Lady. " I answered.
" Don't be to formal, You can call me Em. " She said as she looked away, avoiding my gaze.
" Okay, as you said so. " I responded and dance with her.
" Welcome to the family. " I added and smiled at her.
She smiled shyly and slowly nodded her head in response.
" Thanks. " She said.
" Can I asked? " She added.
" What is it, Em? " I uttered.
" What department you belong? " She added as she stared on my eyes, not leaving the eye contact.
" I'm from Hidden Glem, My Lady. " I politely said and give her the roses hidden inside my suit.
" Flowers for you. " I declared.
" Thank you so much! " She exclaimed and grab the rose and suddenly hug me.
I was shocked on her sudden action as I hug her back. I heard a glass shuttered into pieces when Neelam suddenly drop it and cause a loud sound that make everyone in the event area stop from what they are doing. I saw Manager Lim, walked towards her.
The girl with a short black hair who is wearing a red plugging neck red fitted dress looked so shocked and anxious about what she did. I saw her lips become pale when she saw his manager approaching her. I didn't hesitate to go towards her direction, totally forgot about the glass shuttered in the floor that my sililotte heels slide and make me out of balance because of it.
The time tick slow, when I saw Onyx fast enough to catch me before my face reaches the floor and make an embarrassing moment. I heard the crowd went crazy and the only want matters to me is the face behind his mask as he smirked at me and said.
" So clumsy. " He stated.
I didn't response, instead I cleared my throat and said.
" Thank you, Mr. " I said it out loud enough that the crowd will hear.
" Your well, My Lady.  " He replied and act like a prince Infront of me as he bow down and left me dumbfounded.
