Without hesitation, I signed it and gazed on Miss Danica, she handed me her hands and I accepted it.
" Welcome to the hidden glem family. " She smiled at me and said.
" Thank you. It's an honor for me to be one of your model you handle. " I said.
" Let's go, I'll tour you around and introduce you to my team and staff in here. " She uttered.
" Sure! " I replied as I followed her from behind.
The building is so huge and elegant at the same time, even if it's full of green plants all around the place. Some windows are open, while this plane is like a juggle in an organized way. Wow! I really salute the engineer who planned this all.
" This is the Conference Hall and the Meeting Hall in the same time. " She said and pointed the one with a wooden door on the right side of the wing in the third floor where Miss Danica and My room is located and entered the elevator to go to our next destination which is the second floor in this building.
" The second floor is where the rooms for precious glems. You will meet the other models from different departments. By the way, tomorrow is your welcome party, and it's already settled. The other models are excited to meet you! " She added as she pointed the room doors here in the second floor.
" Great! Can I invite some of my friends? " I asked her.
" Yes, I already ready 10 invitation cards for you. Since we already invited all the members, staff and especially heads of this agency with different manager in each department. " She uttered.
"Department? What do you mean? " I asked.
" This company / agency composed with 3 departments which is the Hidden Glems , Precious Glems and the Shining Glems.
" Hidden Glems are the best one of the agency picked to be the influencer model all around the world.  Which you are one of them. With my Team, you guys in hidden identity or personal information we hide it in public. Even your face is not shown, so you will have privacy. You have to pick the best nickname you can think as you become a hidden glem model. It should be remarkable gems. Have you thought of a nickname already, El? " Miss Danica asked me.
" Emerald. " I answered.
" Great! It's suit you well! " She complimented.
" Nicknames of the hidden glem team must be a gem. And you pick a nice nickname! Hidden Glems only composed of 5 members, and you are new to the team. It's already 6 since you become one of them. " She stated.
" The next department is the Precious Glems, they are the lower level with you guys. They are the one who competed to the other country while you hidden glem are hidden and unseen to the audience. The only differences between hidden glem and the precious one is you guys are hidden to the public, only the nickname will be revealed. Being in my team is hard El. Because I have 3 members the new ones, they quit because they can't stand it anymore. Since you need to hide your identity to the public until your contract with us is done. " She explained.
I didn't reply, instead wait for the added information, so I listen carefully and also my questions after she explained everything to me.
" Hidden Glems and Precious Glems are the one who can only be the international models. But in your case since you belong to the Hidden one, The heads of the company only will know your personal identity still it's safe so don't worry about it. The Precious Glems have 40 models in all as for now since they are searching for 10 newbie models to add in their team. " Miss Danica said.
" The last department is the Shining Glems are the local models. They are the one will usually be seen in projects, commercials, advertisements also in TV shows. Some of them are invited into TV shows on cam to be special guest. They are like celebrity in short, only in the Philippines. They can't apply or signed to any agency or company around the countries since it's also on their contract. "She added.
My jaw drops because of the information. I don't doubt it since Beauty Glem Modeling Agency is one of the top and successful famous Agency here in Australia. They want for the best among the rest. Well, that's how business world is. Now I understand why dad said I'll face my on catastrophe.
Miss Danica stop from walking and grab her phone though her pocket and answered a phone call. It must be important.
" El, I'll talk to you some other time. The team need my help since we are preparing for your grand welcome party. It also is seen in TV but as the tradition in the Hidden Glem Models you guys wear a mask. Just go to the right door beside my office, some of my staff and your 2 assistants are waiting for you there.  " Miss Danica turn around and said as she smiled before she left.
" Sure. " I replied and walked away. I went to the third floor and knocked on the right door beside Miss Danica's room. After a minute and so, a girl with a smile on her face opened it and said.
" You must be, El! Welcome to come ~ " She said and grab my hand and pull me inside the room.
I heard the door closed and locked. I turn around, and I saw a girl with a short hair, her hair is color ash gray. While the one who grab me is having a blonde hair.
" Hi! I'm Valerie! I'm one of your personal assistant. I'm happy to meet you, El. " She introduced herself and smile from ear to ear.
" I'm Aileen, it's a pleasure to meet you, Miss El. " The one which a blonde hair said.
" Thank you. So, is this is my room? " I asked them.
They both nodded their head in unison.
" You can call me Emerald from now on, that's my gem nickname. " I said and sit on the chair and looked around the room.
" Wow, it suits you well, El! " Valerie said.
" It's Emerald, val. Not El! " Aileen corrected.
" Yep Emerald! Hehe, sorry. " She replied and make a peace sign to me.
" Danica said you guys will be my hairstylist and makeup artist? " I open up.
" Yep, I be your hairstylist While Aileen will be your makeup artist. " Valerie said and pointed to Aileen who is busy on her phone.
" I got a question. " I uttered.
" What is it? " Aileen asked me.
" You guys are the assistant of the other models, right? " I asked my curiosity.
" Nope, only for you? Did Miss Danica forgot to informed you that each model in Hidden and Precious Glems Department have 2 assistant just like us? The answer is no. We only work for you. " Valerie answered.
" Okay, as you said so. " I said, and sit down on the chair In front of a mirror.
" Miss Danica said that you can take a rest and inform your parents that you will sleep here. " Valerie said.
" Okay, how about you guys? " I asked.
" Beside that wall. " She pointed out that separate in this make up room and said.
" We both have small rooms there, we also provided. And your room is in that way. " Aileen said and pointed the different wall that is located inside the room. The room is like 3 rooms in our house, This like a small condo with a balcony, kitchen, bar counter and a small gym area too and many more.
" Miss Danica just text me a while ago that you must take a nap, Emerald. Valerie will wake you up before 4 in the afternoon to get prepared, since 6 in the evening is the start of the program. " Valerie said.
" Also give me 10 names and your parent's name too. I'll be the one will hand them the invitation cards later on. " Valerie added.
" Are you sure? I can handle that. " I answered.
" It's fine, it's our job, Emerald. " Aileen responded.
" Just Em, Emerald is too long. " I declared.
" Why El? If your name is long enough? " Valerie said before she open the door and went out. She stood there waiting for my answer.
" Yes, I'm Elizabeth Del Acosta. El for short. " I uttered.
" How old are you guys? " I asked my curiosity.
" I'm 39 while Valerie is 35. " Aileen answered.
" Go sleep now, I don't want Miss Danica will be mad at me because of the simple introduction she said. " Aileen stated and open a book and lay down in the couch beside the makeup area.
" Okay! I'll just call my parents first. " I answered and dailed my mother's number.
She nodded her head and continue to read a book.
