I'm Not Daria
Samantha event

I nervously played my fingers until Luna put her hand on my hand to calm down.

"Hey, don't worry. Samantha's fashion show is the most eagerly awaited event here, so the media cares more about covering all her work. They won't even realize you're here." He convinced me again

"OK," I said and sneezed. "Acchiwf"

Luna frowned. "Either where you and Devan went wandering around the city. You two are cold now."

I turned towards Devan who was sitting in the first row with a handkerchief attached to his nose. I held back the little laugh that almost came out. "Sorry," I said, my eyes were watering from sneezing, but they didn't.

We sat on the side, in the third row because we didn't want to draw much attention towards us.

Soon, the show will begin and we will see Samantha's talent displayed before us in the form of her own designed outfit.

Right after the show, Sam will officially inaugurate his own clothing line in Paris under the name R3VSON. Then he will do the inauguration to open stores in various countries. So he will be very busy for the next month, maybe even two months. I'm so happy for him.

The lights dimmed around the audience and all we could see was the bright light on stage. Music started playing and within minutes, we saw models start walking out one by one with their clothes on

The Sam brand mainly deals with evening dresses and the dresses designed by her are definitely the best evening dresses ever.

Some of them have a sullen shape like those in princess movies you used to watch as a child, and others sparkle. The models walk confidently and gracefully carrying their clothes well.

The dresses are mostly soft in color like light blue and pink. Some of them show a lot of skin, but look good

After about an hour, the show finally ended with a very beautiful model. Nathalie who is Liam's girlfriend, wears the most beautiful dress of the whole event. Behind him, all the previous models walked on the catwalk, walked out one by one and posed in front of the camera for a few seconds before turning around and exiting the other side. The last one out was Nathalie who was wearing the most beautiful dress.

A few seconds after coming out, Sam who was wearing a simple knee-length black dress walked halfway. We clapped for him and could see a big smile on his face. He was nervous, I knew it. I wanted to tell her that she looks amazing and all her dresses are so beautiful.

He turned and walked back. Right after she was nowhere to be seen again, Ardhika, her husband stood up from his seat, with Jessica in his arms.

"Come, let's see him backstage, Luna said as she stood up as well. I nodded and he took me backstage where we found Sam crying and Ardhika trying to comfort him.

At first I was confused as to why she was crying. If he thinks the show isn't good, he's wrong. But as soon as I saw his face, I felt relaxed and laughed a little. She was crying because she was happy. He smiled widely with tears coming out of his eyes uncontrollably. How could he do that, was beyond reason.

The whole family gathered and congratulated him. Mrs Daralyn hugged him and told him to stop crying even though her own eyes were glazed over. He kept telling her how proud he was of Sam.

After their haru event, we went back to the hotel to get ready for the launch party.

It was about six in the afternoon and we arrived at the venue. Most of the time, we just chatted with people and enjoyed cocktails and mocktails while Sam was flooded with people delivering congratulations and best wishes for him.

Then he finally opened his first brand shop by cutting ribbons. We all looked at the store. It was a huge store with five floors.

The shop was spacious and decorated with elegant furnishings and posters of his best works on the walls. Half of the walls are floor-high mirrors.

At about eight, we had dinner.

This is my last day in Paris. We'll fly home the next day. It's time to get back into the daily routine, it's funny how my daily routine now consists of living in a big house with lots of food and clothes and whatever I want.

There is also a college. I will start my online courses and lectures starting the next day. I had to fight and start working hard to finish college. I am in my second year and after two more years I will graduate. Hopefully it will end by then and then I can go back to the old life, although it sounds monotonous and sad, someday I have to go. I would try to apply for a job in a big hospital and hope to be accepted for a good salary and then that would end my worries.

I had to quit my job as a waitress at that time, but I would still visit the old cafe and Lady Angel once in a while because they were my second home. I can't leave them. During my time working there, I became very close to Mrs Angel.

"Hey, what are you thinking?" Bella asked as she waved in front of my face.

I realized I had been daydreaming long enough, thinking about the future.

I shook my head at him, "There's nothing"

"I'm going back to the hotel because I'm tired. Wanna come with me?"

"Sure, let me pick up Anna. I'm sure he wants to go, too."

The three of us went back to the hotel and entered our room after telling the others that we were leaving. We congratulate Sam once again on his success before leaving.

.....

When I woke up, I found Daisy near me under the blanket.I stroked her a little and she moved a little in her sleep.

I was in my room but didn't know how I could get there. I just remember being on the flight back home and getting in the car after we landed.

Must have fallen asleep during the car ride. After bathing and changing into comfortable clothes, I went downstairs. Downstairs was very quiet and no one was in sight.

Now it's only seven in the morning and no one comes down for breakfast before eight.

But I was hungry, so I went into the kitchen and found Mario hunched over the plate, no doubt making breakfast for all of us. Other cooks around him were also busy making different dishes.

"Hey, good morning, Mario," I said. Mario stopped his work and turned around with a smile.

"Yes, I need another sleep, but now that I'm hungry, is breakfast ready?"

"Almost"

"Okay, all right, I'll sit at the table. Do you mind bringing me breakfast there?"

"Not at all. You sit down, I'll be there soon" He sped up his pace and did things faster than when he got here.

"Thank you and enjoy"

I came out of the kitchen, only to meet Devan at the end of the stairs. He looked like he had just taken a shower and looked ready to work. I rolled my eyeballs. I swear that man is married to his job.

"What are you doing so early?" He asked, looking surprised. This is the first time I wake up at seven in the morning, I usually wake up at nine.

"I was just hungry, so I got up and decided to have breakfast earlier,"

He's nodding. "Let's have breakfast together."

"Okay, Mario's almost done making breakfast." I told him, gesturing to the table so we could sit down.

He sighed. "Then not here,"

"What?"

"Let's go somewhere else for breakfast." His face became bright at his own suggestion

"Why? Marii will be here any minute with her food. We don't want to go anywhere."

"Oh, who cares about Mario and his stupid food. I know this amazing breakfast place, let's go there, I'm sure you'll love the food there"

"No, thank you, I love Mario's food so you can go wherever you want"

He grumbled in his heart. Just then, Mario emerged from the kitchen with a tray full of delicious-looking food.

"Breakfast is ready" he said cheerfully.

"We're going out for breakfast" Devan said briefly, holding my hand.

I opened my mouth to protest, but she had already started walking, pulling me along with her.

I looked back to see Mario's disappointed face. He did not look at me, but stared at the tray in his hand.

I feel sorry for him. I could see he had worked hard for the dish and did not want to make it sad.

Now we are outside. Devan parked his car in front of us and he opened the door for me.

"So it was very rude. Mario looks so sad because we don't want to eat his food." I said.

"I don't care about him".

"And I don't care about you. I'll go back in. I don't want to go with you."

I turned around to leave but he grabbed my hand again.

"Don't go to him."

"I didn't tell you what to do"

"I knew. You can come later and eat the food."

I'm staring. Why is he being a jerk today? The day in Paris was perfect. I guess eventually he'll start being his real self.Knowing that being a jerk isn't who he really is, so why did he go back to being that way?

"Please," he said. I'm appalled.

Implore? She begged me?

"OK," I said, thinking that there would be no other time where he would beg me. "All right, whatever."

He smiled and gestured me to get in the car. He closed the door for me after I got in he ran around the car to get into the driver's seat

We stopped in front of a small house about an hour later. Travel that long. Along the way from the mansion, my stomach grumbled like crazy and I whined about how much I had to wait until I could finally get some food. It would be much better if I stayed and ate Mario's food.

When I looked towards the cafe, it was not just any cafe, but the cafe where I worked.
