"Are you not wondering why there are no taxis stopping here? That they are just passing by?" the young man asked, surprising Trixie with his sudden remark. His voice is deep and sexy, and turns out he's an English speaker. Impressive. "Because we are already wet from the rain, and they don't want their taxi seats to get dirty?!" she exclaimed hysterically. "No. Do you think they will reject you? In this case, they need more passengers because if they don't drive, they won't have anything to eat," he replied seriously. "Ah, but there are a lot of taxis passing by, but no one really stops!" she retorted, frustrated with the taxi drivers for not stopping. The night is cold, coupled with heavy rain and thunder. Who wouldn't be irritated in such a situation? "Because they do have passengers," Trixie said, biting her lip in response. After a while, she burst out laughing, realizing that her constant complaint about not getting a taxi was because she thought the drivers were avoiding her, not realizing they had passengers. "You're right. I didn't think of that," she admitted, holding her stomach from laughter. "There is also a saying that if you have the patience to wait, you will not be disappointed. Because your waiting is worth it since what you want will still come true," the young man said. Trixie nodded in agreement. "Can I ask you something?" she inquired after a few seconds of silence. She thought he might not answer, but he turned to her. "Miss, you're already asking," he philosophically replied, biting his lower lip. "Are you leaving your home? Why do you have a suitcase in the middle of the night and in the rain?" she asked rapidly. "I just want to go to a place where I'll be comfortable," he answered. The young man is easy to talk to, and there's no sense of danger. If she were another woman, she might be scared, considering he has a suitcase and they are the only two in the waiting area trying to hail a taxi. "Why now, in the rain?" she asked, puzzled. "Because I didn't know it was going to rain. Miss?" "What?" she asked, still a bit grumpy. "I'm Wade Hansley Esquivias, 30 years old." Trixie's heart quickened as he introduced himself with his full name and age. 30 years old? Not bad for her 27 years of existence. She sighed at the end, thinking about the age gap. 'Wade Hansley Esquivias, handsome owner with a handsome name. What more could you ask for?' "I'm Trixie Vargas Garcia, 27 years old," she replied with her name. "Sorry if we met in this situation. I just found your gesture earlier amusing. You were really angry." "I just want to go home," she said. "I see, aren't you afraid of me? Because you're talking to a stranger like me? Is the line 'I don't talk to strangers' not in your vocabulary?" he asked. "Because that depends on how I feel the presence of a person. From what I see of you, you seem heartbroken. Your eyes are sad," she commented. "You're observant then," he said, and a taxi pulled up in front of them. It opened, and she thought she would be left there as he had found a ride. "Get in," he said in a gentle voice. Her heartbeat raced, and butterflies fluttered in her stomach. Is she feeling giddy because she met the gentleman Wade Hansley Esquivias?
Chapter 1 1
THIRD PERSON'S POV
Trixie frowned when she saw who would model her new design shoes. This is only a limited edition and he also meant that they will release only three at the moment.
She's a shoes designer and her creations are known especially to artists and rich people. People are still vying for his new design even though he is really trying not to release much.
Every two months they re-release shoes and even though his staff hasn't studied whether it will enter the stock market, they still release it because as long as it has the name Trixie's Sexy, they won't have any problems. It will immediately hit the buyers.
Every week they show something on the internet that is his new design. In less than a minute, you can see many views and lift it up.
He himself takes the models for their production but he is still choosy when it comes to his models. If he doesn't like it, he will definitely change it, so his staff is very stressed to him, but they won't stop him from doing what he wants. It's not because he's their boss. They really have a lot of respect for him.
He stood up from his highchair when he saw that Solace Cromwell had lost her balance as she was wearing black high heels with a butterfly pendant on her strap.
"Oh, my God, Solace!" Trixie shouted and her eyes widened in shock due to the fall of her model. The dress she's wearing is still open, she can't be seen because she's wearing shorts but... "Out!" he shouted at his model and even pointed to the studio door.
"I'm sorry, Ms. Trixie," he apologized to her. She walked towards her.
"Tell me. We shot several times just to get the steps that our director taught you, but why can't you even get them and you're not walking properly so you're out of balance!" he shouted and his hands were almost squeezing Solace's head because of how much he felt for the girl.
"S-I'm sorry. I'm just not used to being so high," Solace reasoned out.
He bent down and violently removed the heels from her feet then stood up. He showed her his heel which he almost shoved in her face just so she could see it properly.
"Can't you see it? 'He's just the right height and I meant to make it this way because it's really for artists. Well, you're not an actor, an actor is different from a model, but how many times have we practiced before? Why can't you just get it, huh?!" he still shouted here. "Secretary Bardot, get Solace out first before I can beat these heels on her head!" His secretary nervously approached them because of his threat but they knew that he could not do that either.
His staff just don't want to see that he is super stressed today. He just couldn't handle his model being so ignorant.
Cursed and rude, he is known to have this attitude but he does not physically hurt. Her mouth was the only thing that hurt too much to speak but she knew her limits.
Trixie returned to her place earlier. She wore her light violet peplum shirt and violet cargo pants, and a pair of black strappy heels that she designed herself.
Of course, he is the owner and designer, so he will be the first to have it and he is making it a collection at his house.
At the age of 27 years old, she already has many achievements, she got awards as a top model here in the Philippines and also one of the successful business woman who also had five branches company in five countries. The first Filipino to have a big company whose business is booming even if it's just shoes.
Like what the ef, I'm really lucky that I was successful because of tsaga.
His name resonates with actors, models and rich and famous people in the world. It's just weird for them that the name of her company is Trixie's Sexy Shoes.
Well, he admitted it was really weird to hear but for her. The sexiest in the world are the shoes he creates himself. If he had to choose between two things; dress or heels? Of course, he would not hesitate to answer that shoes are the sexiest of all.
At the age of 21 he became independent and no longer depended on his parents. Even though at that time he was just a fresh graduate.
Solace only had pizza, burgers, and soft drinks because after their break, they weren't tortured any more. His own manager still thanked him because he said he wouldn't touch it again.
Yes, he's a great person because whatever comes out of his mouth, that's if he doesn't really like the performance of his models.
But he's the CEO, right? He still took care of his employees and also her models. It's not possible that he doesn't care about his staff because it's possible that he could be sued in no time.
He doesn't want that to happen and he will have a bad record with the police. He doesn't want to disappoint his staff who have a lot of respect for him and are already known for being cursed.
His cellphone rang and when he looked at it, it was just his mommy calling.
"Yes, Mom?" he answered.
"Trixie, child. When will you visit our house again? The last time we met was last month, ah," he said immediately from the other line.
"Dad and I will visit you soon, Mommy. Don't do it now because we are busy with the new release of our shoes, eh," she said and she knew that her mother was already frowning at this time. Who wouldn't if your own child rejects you even though he still wants to see you?
"Son, well..."
"It's really great if you could please me, Mommy. Alright, I'll pass by our house now. Stop frowning!" he said laughing.
"Trixie, I'm not frowning, son. I can smile now!" he said and he heard her loud laugh.
He just shook his head at his mommy's reaction. It also said goodbye to him.
