Kat couldn't help but giggle as she tousled Amey's hair, her petite frame making the gesture feel comforting and familiar. "I'll be there, Amey. Don't worry. Just try not to get too drunk and pass out like last time," she teased with a playful smile.
Hanna interrupted, "I've prepared a dress for you. Everything's ready in your dressing room." Glancing at her watch, she added, "The makeup artist will be with you shortly. We have about two hours to arrive at Essence."
Kat sighed appreciatively. "Thanks, Hanna. I'll go get ready now," she said, waving as she walked away from the trio.
As Kat disappeared from view, Amey turned to Hanna with a concerned look. "Are you sure you're not overworking her?"
"I have to agree with Amey. Kat's been stretched thin lately," Alex chimed in, his admiration for Kat evident in his tone.
Hanna's expression softened as she explained, "It's not what you think. Kat insisted on cramming all her schedule into this week because she's planning a two-month vacation. She wants to get everything done before she leaves."
Amey and Alex exchanged understanding glances, realizing the reason behind Kat's hectic schedule. "Oh, I see," Amey said, nodding in comprehension.
Meanwhile, Kat emerged from her dressing room, looking elegant in a sleek black dress that accentuated her curves. With her makeup subtly enhancing her features, she radiated confidence and poise.
Despite her simple attire, Kat commanded attention with her graceful presence and captivating smile. Her aura exuded sophistication and allure, leaving a lasting impression on those around her.
As Kat made her way to the event, her mind buzzed with excitement for the night ahead. With each step, she exuded quiet strength and confidence, ready to take on whatever challenges awaited her.
Minutes passed in contemplative silence as Kat and Hanna rode in the car. Hanna was absorbed in reviewing documents on her laptop, while Kat intermittently checked her phone for messages and notifications.
"Would you like some music?" the driver interrupted the silence, glancing at them through the rearview mirror.
Kat looked up from her phone and offered a polite smile. "Sure, Kenny. And could you please get us to Essence a little quicker? We need to be punctual."
"Of course, miss," Kenny responded promptly, adjusting the car's speed accordingly. He also turned on some soft music to accompany the remainder of the journey, creating a pleasant atmosphere.
After a while, they arrived at Essence, a towering skyscraper dominating the city skyline. Hanna was the first to exit the car, followed by Kat, who thanked Kenny for the smooth ride. The driver bid them goodbye before they proceeded into the Essence building.
Upon reaching the reception area, they were greeted warmly by two receptionists, each expressing their delight at their arrival.
The young man then guided them to the elevator, and they ascended to the top floor where the Essence offices were located.
Exiting the elevator, they were greeted by Clare, the manager of Essence, who welcomed them with a warm smile and open arms.
"It's a pleasure to meet you both in person. I'm Clare, the manager of Essence," she introduced herself warmly, extending a hand in greeting.
"Thank you for having us, Claire. I'm thrilled to be here." Kat said to Clare. "We're delighted to have you, Kat. Your work speaks for itself." Clare chimed
Kat and Hanna reciprocated with polite introductions. As the conversation flowed, Clare expressed her admiration for Kat's talent and presence.
With the formalities concluded, Hanna suggested proceeding to sign the contract and get started.
"Certainly, right this way," Clare replied, leading them to the designated signing area.
After signing the contract, they were escorted to the location where the shoot was to take place. The photographer greeted them warmly, his enthusiasm palpable as he prepared to capture Kat's essence on camera.
Throughout the shoot, Kat exuded confidence and grace, her natural beauty shining through with each pose and expression.
As they exited Essence, they found Kenny waiting for them, a familiar smile gracing his features as he greeted them warmly. He opened the car door for them, and they settled in for the drive back.
"How was it?" Kenny inquired as he started the car, his genuine interest evident in his tone.
"It was fine," Hanna responded with a nod, her satisfaction evident in her demeanor.
"That's great to hear. Where are we headed?" Kenny asked, his focus shifting to Kat as he prepared to navigate the route ahead.
"To my residence," Kat replied, anticipation evident in her voice.
The drive back wasn't long, and soon they reached their destination.
