Chapter 17 - Triple Identity


    I had my coffee as quickly as I could almost burning my tongue, my throat and my stomach. Then I


    went to the agency. This was surely going to be interesting!


    When I got changed and my makeup was done, I decided to go look around the agency. This was my


    hobby whenever I was there. Mom didn''t tell me anything about my partner in the photo-shoot except


    that they were trying him to see if they should employ him and that he was my age. I hoped he''d be


    that kind of hot nice guys you could call eye candy.


    I passed around saying hi to everyone. I was almost a celebrity here. That was when I spotted Louis?


    No, no! It couldn''t be. My eyes were failing, that was more logical. I tried blinking and focusing really


    hard, but he was still there. Ugh! And he wasing towards me. What a second! A guy my age!


    Louis! Why did I ever agree to this?


    "Hey gorgeous, I''m Louis and you?" He said once he approached in the flirtiest way ever. He didn''t


    recognize me! Wow! This could be fun!


    "Laura," I said, at least he''d recognize my voice. Even if I wasn''t wearing my sses and my hair


    wasn''t braided, he couldn''t be that stupid!


    "So Laura, any idea where I should go? I was supposed to meet my partner for a photoshoot in studio


    number twelve but I have no idea where that is. This ce is enormous!" Damn it! He was that stupid.


    "Really? Then you came to just the right person! I was heading there."


    "Thank you! Do you know who she is? Mr Whitte himself told me about where I should meet her and


    gave me all the necessary details. I''m sure he doesn''t do this normally, right?" Daddy dear, why?


    "I think his daughter, maybe!" I answered. Wait for it. Wait for it...


    "Loca? I met her once, she''s so hot! But let me tell you, you''re even hotter!" How many hints did I have


    to give him? Also, that was gross! I could have lived my whole life without hearing him calling my sister


    hot. I smiled and continued ying nice. When we finally reached our destination, I found both mom


    and dad.


    "Guys, what are you both doing here?" I asked them.


    "I was just going," Dad said leaving, I raised a brow at mom.


    "I''m the designer, I should be able to see my work being modelled." She said defiantly. "Oh, hey! You


    must be Louis."


    "Hello, it''s an honour, really." He said too formally. I snorted.


    "Elena!" Mom scolded. You just blew up my cover.


    "Elena?" Louis gasped, his eyes wide. That look was priceless!


    "Is that my favourite girl?" I turned around at the sound. It was uncle Cody! When did hee here?


    He was dad''s friend since forever and also my childhood bestie''s dad. I ran towards him, hugging him


    so tightly.


    "Not that I''m not over the moon for seeing you, but where''s Tom?" I asked eagerly.


    "Preparing your birthday present. He insisted oning when he''s done with it." But I missed him. I


    pouted at him while he chuckled.


    "Cody Baker?" Louis said under his breath. Did I forget to mention that uncle Cody was this very very


    famous actor?


    "In the flesh!" He bowed, I giggled while mom mumbled something along the lines of him being a


    showoff, which made my giggles even harder to stop. When he left, mom called our photographer in.


    When I show these to Sky, she''d be shook!


    Most of the photos were too ufortable; because who would befortable with someone he didn''t


    like holding him? But I was a professional, always keeping my feelings aside. So the pictures looked


    cute. Mom was very pleased with them so I guess I didn''t suck.


    I was leaving when Louis decided it was okay to annoy the hell out of me.


    "Elena, wait!" I turned around, not because I wanted to have a conversation but because I didn''t need


    any more attention.


    "Yes?" I said through gritted teeth.


    "So, wow!" I raised a brow. "What I mean is-" I cut him off.


    "Louis, just because you saw me here, doesn''t mean we could be friends, or that you could talk to me


    whenever you want." I pursed my lips into a thin line.


    "I did say that, didn''t I?" Yes, you did. And you know what? I felt awful! "Is it toote now to say sorry?"


    I nodded. "Ohe on, I''m not that bad." I actuallyughed at that. He groaned. "I mean, I did call you


    a nerd... lots of times but at least I was nice when we were working on the project."


    "Yes, you were. How could I forget? How long did I have to wait for you to show up exactly? Hours.


    How many times? A lot. Did you ever respond when I talked to you? No. Don''t be fake, Louis. That''s


    just who you are." I left without another word. He was so astonished at my words, he didn''t say a word.


    I remembered something too important. So I got my phone out and texted Jason.


    Me: I may need a certain quarterback as my personal servant :)


    Jason: He''s in so much trouble!


    Jason: But it''s his fault he said he''d do anything for me. This would be fun!


    ? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org.


    Jason: Do you want me to break the news to him?


    Me: Wouldn''t that be awesome! I inwardly smirked at the thought. Bad thing I wouldn''t be able to see


    his face. But Jason would do the job perfectly!


    Aurora called then asking me millions of questions per second, I wasn''t so honest about that intruder,


    but not to the extent of deceiving her. I just felt it was nothing Aurora could deal with. Plus, she had a


    lot on her mind already. She decided it would be better if I met Louis before that reporter''s grand reveal.


    I totally agreed with her, I wanted to know if the asshole actually knew something or is just pretending


    that he knew about me.


    Apparently, Aurora was a step ahead, as always. She called him already and I was meeting him


    tomorrow night. Now I had some time to kill and I couldn''t call Sky since she was in that party. Ugh!


    Well, I did have someone I could annoy. Ron!


    I should call him, especially after that party. He looked so lonely...


    "Hey there!" I said the moment he answered my call. I was still in my car waiting to see where I was


    heading.


    "If it isn''t the busy girl." His voice dripping with sarcasm. He took that harder than I thought or maybe


    not. Maybe he was just in a bad mood!


    "Well, lucky you. I''m not busy now. Wanna hang out?"


    "I''ll meet you in five. I''ll text you the location."


    He hung up and five secondster, I had a n for the rest of the day.
