Chapter 7

<<<ELSA'S POV>>>

I got the new laptop! My last one wouldn't charge so I threw it out. Anna's room that she has now used to be my office, but she kind of burnt her condo to pieces and moved in with me.

"Elsa! Have you seen my phone?" Anna called.

"Is it on the kitchen counter?" I replied.

There was a moment of silence. Footsteps and then a bit of mumbling.

"Thank you!" Anna called.

I laughed. Classical Anna! Always losing her phone, but I always manage to know where is it somehow. She accuses me of putting it in those places, but I really don't! I'm observant and memorise things, unlike my little sister. I need to think of a fancy, classy, yet simple restaurant design! I knew I shouldn't have left this until last minute! I have to get cracking and look for some designs now! Tomorrow is when I meet up with the construction manager.  I want something fancy and modern! Hmm... Well, took me three hours before choosing and I chose a unique, classy yet simple design!

"Elsa, I'm off to bed!" Anna called.

"Okay!" I replied.

Okay then, Anna...I don't really know why I need to know you were going to sleep but okay then! I got dressed for bed and my phone pinged.

Rapunzel Prince - Hey, Els!

Elsa Winters - Hey, Rap! How's Daisy?

Rapunzel Prince - Rap? I like it! Daisy is fine. She is currently playing with Eric in the garden

Elsa Winters - Aww, that's so cute!

Rapunzel Prince - I know, right? Eric has been so supportive!

Elsa Winters - Isn't Eric's birthday in two weeks?

Rapunzel Prince - Two weeks on Wednesday, yes

I laughed. Rapunzel always has to be precise, doesn't she? Well, she is one of my closest friends and I love her humour and precision.


Elsa Winters - You are always precise:')

Rapunzel Prince - You know me, girl!

Elsa Winters - I have so many plans for the restaurant! I can't wait!

Rapunzel Prince - Restaurant? What restaurant?

Elsa Winters - Really, Rap? I have been planning to build the restaurant!

Rapunzel Prince - Wait, will you still do catering?

Elsa Winters - Of course, I will! I have a huge team! Plus, I want to boost my publicity!

Rapunzel Prince - Your publicity is already rocketing sky high!

I laughed at Rapunzel's comment. I want my business to look it's best and have very high publicity! Rapunzel knows me, I care a lot about my career.

Elsa Winters - Yes, but you know me and my passion for my career!

Rapunzel Prince - Hey, Els. Could I ask a question?

Elsa Winters - Sure!

Rapunzel Prince - How come you haven't settled down with someone?

I had to read her message over and over. I'm surprised that Rapunzel would be the one to ask that question, I would have expected Merida to ask that! I sighed, not that I don't want that - I'm just not the type of person for that. My career is my life and settling down with someone, isn't an option for me.

Elsa Winters - I just...I want to settle down with the perfect guy - someone who fits me, only near enough every guy I have met, is a total arrogant jerk. I dislike arrogant jerks and you know that yourself

Rapunzel Prince - Wow, Els...I'm sorry. Don't you get lonely?

I sighed heavily. It is true - sometimes I do get lonely, but I'm cut out for working. I have devoted my entire life to working after all!

Elsa Winters - Sometimes but like I say, I'm cut out to work my entire life

I wiped a stray tear away - I would love to settle down and start a family, but I don't want to hurt them, like my Papa had hurt me. He did abuse me, he was always putting me down and doing everything in his power to crush my dreams.

Rapunzel Prince - Why don't you try it out?

Elsa Winters - Try what out?

Rapunzel Prince - Going out on a date with someone, of course!

Going out on a date? I don't know...I'm too scared to have my heart broken or to be turned down...I'm so scared of it, but I just don't see me dating someone and being successful.

Elsa Winters - I don't know...

Rapunzel Prince - Come on, Elsa! You never know until you try!

I didn't reply. Should I try and go out on a date? I mean I didn't want to date anyone, because I didn't want to suffer heartbreak, get into a complicated relationship, start something serious for it to vanish to dust and because of what Papa did.

"I need some sleep..." I muttered to myself.

I logged off my laptop and got changed into my pyjamas - I just need some sleep. I got into bed, but I didn't go to sleep immediately. I was thinking about what Rapunzel said about trying out dating. I don't know...I don't know if I should, I'm not exactly relationship material. Stop, stop, stop. I need to get to sleep, before I don't get to sleep at all. Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep. Six in the morning, time to get up. I have to get to the construction office today, I need to tell them the blueprints are all ready! I went into the bathroom and took a nice soothing bath and dried my hair and got dressed into my outfit. Today I'm wearing a plain knee high grey dress, cream heels, cream blazer, grey handbag, gold bracelet and my gold and cream pearl necklace.

Time for make-up. I put on some liquid and powder foundation, grey eyeshadow, mascara, eyeliner and bright red matte lipstick. Time for my hair! Hmm...I'm thinking beehive hairstyle! I styled my hair and went downstairs to make breakfast. I'm just going to do toast for today, I don't have much time. I need to go out food shopping. I made Anna some tea and toast.

"I had better wake up the beast." I laughed.

I walked upstairs and knocked on Anna's door. I heard snoring and laughed quietly. She is such a loud snorer sometimes! I walked in and Anna had really bad bed hair. I shook her gently.

"Anna. Time to get up!" I said.

She groaned and turned over refusing to get up. Welp, time for Plan B that always gets my sister out of bed - chocolate bribery.

"If you get up now, I will get you your favourite chocolate, whilst I'm out food shopping!" I bribe.

"I'm up!" Anna said.

She jumped out of bed and ran into her bathroom. I laughed and walked out. Time for food shopping! I walked downstairs, grabbed my bag and car keys. I check my phone for the time and it is almost seven - I should be back by about seven thirty. I'm at the shop finally! There was traffic and it is already quarter past seven! Traffic is so ridiculous in this city, I swear! I rushed into the supermarket and started the food shop.

"Right, I also promised Anna her favourite chocolate." I said to myself.

I grabbed Anna her favourite chocolate, it is actually Thorntons chocolate. I couldn't help the temptation, I got a box for myself too. What? Thorntons is amazing chocolate! I paid for all the shopping at the till and went back to the car.

"Jackie, come on!" I heard.

I raised my brow. Jackie? That voice sounds familiar, but I can't quite put my finger on it...I shook it off and jumped in the car. It's already ten to eight?! Oh, just great! I need to meet with the construction manager at twenty to ten! I got back on the road and there is such traffic!

"Oh, come on!" I yelled annoyed.

I'm home, I have to pop in and out with the bags and head off to the construction site to meet up with the manager. I check the time, just gone quarter past nine.

"Anna! I need you to put the shopping away, I have to go!" I called.

Before Anna could even comment, I rushed out the door and jumped in my sports car. I will have to go through house estates to get to the construction site. I can't go on the highway and the main roads of the city, not with the traffic. Thankfully I got to the construction site, five minutes before the meeting!

"Thank God for that!" I said relieved.

I grabbed my sunglasses. I need to cover myself from paparazzi. This is a strict secret between me, Anna, Rapunzel, Merida and the construction team. I entered the construction site and a worker stopped me.

"Excuse me, ma'am. You can't come onto the construction site, this is employees only and it is dangerous." The worker said.

"I'm Miss. Winters, I'm meeting up with the construction manager." I smiled.

"Oops, sorry Miss. Winters." The worker laughed nervously.

"It's okay, where is Mr. Felix?" I asked.

The worker took me along with him to Mr. Felix. Mr. Felix was giving out demands to the other workers.

"Mr. Felix!" The worker called.

"Ralph? Ah, Miss. Winters!" Mr. Felix clapped.

I smiled and shook his hand. It was starting to rain, great just great! At least, it is a change of weather though!

"Hi, Mr. Felix! It's a pleasure doing business with you." I smiled.

"It's a pleasure doing business with you too, also just call me Felix. No need for formalities," He chuckled.

"Okay, Felix. I have the blueprints right here!" I smiled.

I handed him the blueprints, he looked sharply at them and then nodded. Then he called all the workers over and got them straight to working.

"Right, this will take about seven and a half months to build. If we are lucky, it will be six and three quarters." Felix said.

"Excellent, thank you!" I smiled.

I paid Felix twelve million dollars for the job and the workers cuts. Felix was in shock when I handed him that much, but I refused to take it back.

"T-This is very generous, thank you!" Felix said gobsmacked.

"It isn't a problem," I smiled.

I signed the contract to the possession of the property and this is to stay strictly between me and the construction workers. My restaurant will be done in just over half a year! The excitement is unreal! I left the construction site and my phone went off it was Anna. Huh?

Anna Winters - Hey, Els! I put the shopping away, before I left

Elsa Winters - Thanks, Anna! Sorry for just dumping that on you, I had to get to the meeting

Anna Winters - It's fine, sis. Also, I have a slight problem...

Elsa Winters - Are you in trouble?!'

Anna Winters - No, no! But my work kind of is? One of the models decided they are going on vacation without telling us...

Elsa Winters - That's just great. What can I do to help?

Anna Winters - I was wondering, if you would come along to my office to do modelling for me? Please, pretty pretty please!

Modelling? In Anna's office, but that's at Papa's building...what am I going to do? Anna needs help, but I don't want to face Papa.

Elsa Winters - But Anna, Papa is there!

Anna Winters - Actually, he isn't! He has an all day meeting!

An all day meeting? Huh, maybe I could. You know what, I will do it for my little sister! She needs me and I will help her out in any way that I can!

Elsa Winters - Okay, but what's happening with that model that took off?

Anna Winters - She has done this before, so she is getting fired. I'm sick of her acting like a complete snob and acting like she owns the place!

Elsa Winters - This is a really important shoot, huh?

Anna Winters - Yeah! It's the new season outfits! These were designed by me and she completely ditched the shoot AGAIN!

Elsa Winters - I'm in my business casual, so should I change?

Anna Winters - Nope, no need. You will be changing here anyway, so just come on your business casual

I jumped in my car and made my way to Papa's work building. Ha, I thought I would never come here again...I parked up and grabbed my handbag and walked straight to Anna's office.

"Hey, Anna. I'm here!" I called.

"That was quick!" She said shocked.

"I was in my sports car and the construction site is only fifteen minutes away!" I laughed.

She laughed along with me. She handed me a hot cup of coffee, I thanked her and drank up. We talked for ten minutes then the photographer came in.

"A new model?" The photographer questioned.

Anna nodded and explained the situation. The photographer was cursing at the other model who just suddenly decided to take off for the second time. I cringed at the bad language.

"Right! So let's get to work, shall we?" The photographer clapped.

I nodded in agreement. The photographer explained how there are thirty different outfits! Well I'm going to be here for a while by the looks of things. I got changed into the first outfit. It's very nice! Anna is really good at designing! A white v neck button up blouse, a navy blue knee high skirt with a brown belt, brown flats, brown handbag and brown shaded sunglasses.

"Make-up artist! Hair stylist!" The photographer clapped.

The make-up artist got right down to work with my make-up, it matched the outfit really well. I put on some more bright red matte lipstick.

"Fabulous, darling!" The photographer clapped.

"Strike a pose, sis!" Anna winked.

I rolled my eyes and laughed. I tilted my head to the right and gave a smile that showed off my pearly white teeth and placed my left hand on my left hip.

"Oh, fantastic darling!" The photographer exclaimed happily.

I took five shots with that outfit and now, it's time for the next one! The next one is a black floral patterned dress with a cream cardigan, light brown heels, light brown bags and gold earring with blue gems. The make up artist was doing another make up design and the hair stylish has done my hair into a high ponytail.

"Now, darling! Give us another fabulous pose!" The photographer cheered.

I held my ponytail with my free hand and made pouty lips.

"Ooh, marvellous, darling!" He clapped.

Another five photos. Next outfit! This outfit is white long sleeved blouse, peach shorts, diamond sandals and a white pearl necklace. The make-up stylist and the hair stylist are back at it again, they put pastel pink matte lipstick on this time. My hair is styled into a waterfall braid.

"Now another new pose, darling!" The photographer cheered.

I bent my back over a bit and blew a kiss for the camera. The photographer was going mental at all the poses that I was pulling, Anna was on the phone in the background outside the glass door. She has a huge smile on her face.

"Justin, I'm so so sorry to cut this short! My Papa needs me at that all day meeting." Anna said apologetically.

"It's fine, darling. Your sister is going an excellent job at this modelling anyway! She is better than all of them combined!" Justin complimented.

"Also, I got you that interview with Diego Fuento..." Anna said innocently.

"Wait, what?!" He cried happily, but in shock.

For five minutes, the photographer was crying and hugging Anna. Then, Anna had to leave. Only, she left her bag with her work documents. What? After another twenty eight Spring outfits, I was all done! That was three hours long?! Damn, right back home for me.

"Hey, Elsa!"

I turned around, it was the photographer heading my way. He had my handbag! Thank God! My phone, purse and credit cards in there!

"Oh, good God. Thank you, Justin." I smiled.

I jogged back to my car and drove back home. I opened my bag and there is a card? It has my name on, I opened it.

Dear Elsa!
                   This is just a little message from me saying that, if you ever need some work or are interested in modelling, here is my business card.

Majestically,
                       Justin Mackie

That's sweet of him but that modelling for Anna was just a one off thing, if Anna ever needs me again, then I will. I'm not going it full time, my catering business is my main priority. I fished for my keys and walked into the house. I notice Anna's work shoes are here. Huh? I thought she went to that all day meeting with Papa?

"Anna?" I called.

There was no reply.

"Anna?" I called again.

I walked into the living room, no Anna. I walked into the kitchen and once again, no Anna. I checked the entire house and no Anna. I went back into her room and see her bag that she had with her when she left on her bed. I need to call Rapunzel, Mama and Merida to see if they know where she is.

"I will call Mama first." I said to myself.

"Hello?" - Mama

"Hi, Mama! It's me, Elsa. Has Anna come back from that meeting with Papa?" - Elsa

"Elsa, what are you talking about?" - Mama

"Anna said Papa needed her help at the all day meeting he was attending?" - Elsa

"Are you sure? Because Papa just called Anna to help him and she was unavailable." - Mama

"What? Okay then. Thank you, Mama." - Elsa

"You're welcome, dear! Is everything okay though?" - Mama

"It's nothing for you to worry about, Mama. It's okay." - Elsa

"Would you like to come out with me for lunch this Thursday?" - Mama

"I will message you back and tell you, if my schedule is clear." - Elsa

"Okay, dear. I have to go and help Papa, bye!" - Mama

"Bye, Mama. I love you!" - Elsa

"I love you too, dear." - Mama

I put the phone down so Anna lied to me about going to help Papa. Why would she lie...? Unless she has something to hide! What even is she lying? Time to call Rapunzel.

"Hello, Rapunzel Prince speaking." - Rapunzel

"Hey, Rapunzel! Have you spoke to Anna?" - Elsa

"No. Not since this morning, why?" - Rapunzel

"Well Anna left the photoshoot and said she had to help out Papa with the business, but she wasn't called and I found out that she lied to me." - Rapunzel

"I'm sorry, Elsa. I can't really help you much." - Rapunzel

"Damn. Well thanks anyway, Rap." - Elsa

"No problem!" - Rapunzel

I ended the call. Now, time to try Merida! I rang Merida, but there was no answer. I called again and there was no answer, she is probably busy then.

"Wait until you get back here, Anna Winters!" I said furiously.
