chapter 1
Urban's POV
The next morning, much to my reluctance I dragged myself out of bed to get ready for work. As I walked into the shower everything was hazy and the hot droplets of water that escaped from it's head felt cold against my body. It's amazing how in a split second your life can change.. urgh I fucking hated life right now. After bathing I got dressed in a black jumper and white heels. I swapped my purple glasses for my black ones and accesorised with a black pair of studs. I sighed heavily as I entered my car the familiar scent of Leon's cologne diffusing through my nostrils. Damn our stupid car dates. The ride to work consisted of New York traffic and sad emotional Evenescence covers. Upon arriving I crawled out my car and drifted up the stairs. Breakups were amazing...
"Morrrrnnnniiiiinnnng," Cinder chirped as I slumped into my chair "howww was Valentine's day."
She did that weird annoying thing with her eyebrows that I used to love and laugh at but now seriously annoyed me. I didn't reply instead I just gave her a cold, hard glare and for the first time in forever I saw Cinder's smile falter.
"Ok Urban spill." She said her voice ridiculously serious.
I blinked back some tears and took a deep breath.
"Leon was cheating on me..." I whispered.
Cinder then being the dramatic person that she is flung her arms around me.
"Oh my goodness that's just horrible..." she stated.
I nodded just then Claire Buttler our boss entered.
"Urban Winter office now!" She exclaimed before turning on her heels and swaying away.
Cinder let me go and I got up and followed Claire. Why on Earth would she want me? I haven't done anything wrong.
I opened her black, glass doors and entered her black and silver themed office.
"Goodmorning." I greeted.
She glanced at me.
"Urban darling do have a seat."
So one second she's yelling the next she's all mrs. Pots on me,ok.
I sat on one of her teak office chairs and waited for her to speak.
"Well Urban as you know the fashion industry is a very competitive place, and they're always new, younger, people who are better at what you do waiting to take your place..."
Ok what was she getting at?
"And as such I am very happy to inform you that you have been promoted."
Wait what?! Oh uh ok...
"Don't look so puzzeld darling, let's be honest you couldn't expect to be a photographer forever? You're way to beautiful and you have such a character something that most models lack these days... besides the industry needs a new so called 'plus sized' model... you know someone with shape.. as such when the big dogs in Paris asked me to recommend someone to be the new face of Maybeline cosmetics and cover next months edition of Vogue paris I couldn't help but recommend you. Now you will still continue to work for Vogue your photography skills are simply amazing which is why you're going to be the manager of our Paris branch."
I needed a zillion hours to process the information just received. Me a model! What the hell... this was incredible.
"You leave tomorrow night at 7."
I nodded.
"Tha..."
"Don't thank me ,now please go about your business I have stuff to do."
I was now on board an emotional rollar coaster I was sad yet happy depressed yet ok heartbroken yet mended. The universe really enjoyed fucking me up.
"Soo" Cinder said as I walked back into our office.
I gave her a pained, happy smile.
"I got promoted and I'm going to be a model.."
Her scream was loud enough to break glass all the way in space.
"Omg Urban that's amazing I'm so jelly and happy for you."
I blushed.
"Thanks Cinder."
She gave me another hug and a kiss on the cheek.
"Anyways future model of the year you've got tons of packing to do."
