Her Dark Desires-Chapter 78: Familiar

Vince Entertainment

Two days later, Eliana received the offer again to become a model for the Jewelries, and this time, the money offered to her was twenty percent more than the previous amount. Eliana chuckled when she saw the amount and asked her manager to accept the offer.

"They asked if you are free to come over this afternoon." Gia, her manager said.

"I’m free," Eliana replied.

"But you have...."

"Cancel it. I’m not in the mood for interviews."

Gia nodded and began making calls to cancel her previous appointment.

"There is something else I want to discuss with you," Gia said after canceling afternoon appointments.

"What’s that?"

Gia sighed and collected five pictures of different girls from her desk and handed them over to Eliana.

Eliana collected the pictures and began looking at them, one by one. She looked at her manager and asked "Why am I looking at girls who are supposed to be in college?"

Gia rolled her eyes and said "These are girls whom I have handpicked for you to be your assistant. Choose one or maybe two if you feel the need."

"I don’t need an assistant."

"You do need one, now pick one, or I will choose for you," Gia said with a smile. She felt as if Eliana was turning into her mother-in-law with each passing day, and that was giving her a headache.

"Then...this one. She looks less like a Barbie doll." Eliana said, handing a picture of a red-haired girl to Gia.

Gia frowned at her pick and said, "Do you wish to choose another one?"

"I only need one person following me around like a puppy, two would become a nuisance." 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

"Got it. I will inform her she got the job." Gia said.

"Ok, you do that while I go model expensive pieces of jewelry," Eliana said and left.

Gia shook her head with a sigh and whispered to herself after Eliana left, "She is like a spoiled child."

....

Sanders Group

"Is that all?" Zach asked Ethan, who just finished telling him how their project was going, and according to his words, it seemed that Cristal was doing well handling things.

"Huh.... Mrs Sanders is currently at the studio."

"She agreed?"

Ethan nodded.

Zachary smiled softly and said, "Clear the rest of my schedule for today."

"Yes sir."

Zachary closed his laptop and collected his coat.

Ethan knew he was going to meet his wife. If only the boss knew that he was only going to make the rest of the crew uncomfortable with his presence.

.....

"Today, we are just going to take photos, and then tomorrow, we will do a short commercial. Is that all right with you?" Felicia, the manager of the Jewelry Design Department, asked with a polite smile on her face.

"That’s okay with me," Eliana replied.

A makeup and hair stylist was provided for her, and within thirty minutes, she was done.

Eliana looked at herself in the mirror and was satisfied with how she looked.

Felicia came into the dressing room and handed Eliana a V-necked sky-blue gown.

Eliana put on the gown, and when she was given the Jewelry set to wear, she was stunned by its beauty.

"It’s beautiful," Eliana whispered.

"Indeed it is. Do you need help putting it on?" A voice said behind her.

"Yes please, I kind of feel scared of scratching it," Eliana replied without even bothering to look who she was talking to.

"It’s fine if you scratch it, after all, you are a Sanders."

Eliana finally raised her eyes from the jewelry to the mirror and she could see the owner of the voice.

"You look familiar; I know I have seen you before," Eliana said with a frown. "Do you work in this department? You don’t look like you belong here."

"You are right, I do not work in this department. I only came to help. My name is Cristal. By the way, and you saw me at Zach’s office the other day you came."

"Yes, it’s you! I knew you looked familiar." Eliana said excitedly as she turned to look at the young woman who was looking at her with a smile.

"I owe you an apology," Eliana said.

"You do?" Cristal asked in surprise.

Eliana nodded and said "For interrupting your business work with Zach. Sometimes, I get clingy with him."

Cristal smiled and said "No need to apologize, he is your husband after all. So should I help you with the Jewelries? You already look stunning in that gown, so that jewelry will make everyone not be able to take their eyes off you."

"Really? Thank you." Eliana replied and sat down for Cristal to help her out with the jewelry.

The moment Eliana came out of the dressing room, some people gasped in surprise while others just stared at her in awe.

"Wow, you look really beautiful," Felicia said, breaking the silence.

"Thank you," Eliana responded with a shy smile.

"Your pictures did you no justice because you are so pretty," Karis said with an awe look in her eyes.

Eliana just smiled at her and heard Felicia say, "Let’s begin."

Cristal went to stand beside Karis after Eliana began a shoot and said, "You can remove that fan girl look from your eyes."

"Someone sounds jealous."

Cristal rolled her eyes and said "I can bet you anything that one of the reasons Eliana married Zachary is because of his money. I’m sure she is after his wealth and the fame his name can give her."

"Now, you sound bitter. I will give you the same advice I gave to you before, the man is married, and your obsession will get you nowhere."

"Oh, Mr. Sanders, we weren’t expecting you," Felicia said immediately after she saw Zachary.

Everyone turned to look at Zach, wondering why he came here; only those who knew that Eliana was his wife concluded that he must have come to see his wife modeling their latest jewelry.

Even though Eliana saw Zach, she still did not lose her focus as she continued posing for the pictures. However, her eyes glanced at Cristal and she frowned when she saw the way Cristal was looking at Zach. There was an infatuated look in her eyes, which made Eliana wonder if Cristal had feelings for her husband.
