A rich heiress who did not want to love

After my father's funeral, our heart in mourning, my mother and I decided to return to town. A week later, I told my mother of my intention to start working. She was happy. But her joy was only short-lived when she discovered my true intentions. I did not want to take over the reins of the family business as she would have liked. I wanted to start working on my own again... in what I've always loved.

- But my daughter you have everything you want. Why would you want to find yourself another job? My mother wondered.

- I know mom. But I don't like spending my days doing nothing. Being an entrepreneur is not in my aspirations for the moment. I would be so bored. I'm much too young for that... I want to enjoy my life.

- Yes, I know sweetie. But you should rather mind your business. If I asked your father to leave everything in your name, it was not so that it would end up falling into the hands of strangers, she informs me. I want you to take care of everything. I am no longer very young.

- But why did you do that mom? I ask him embarrassed. I didn't want this legacy. All I care about is getting back to what I was doing before... before dad...

The rest of the sentence hangs through the back of my throat.

-Because I know that my darling daughter is capable of taking over and keeping the Moore dynasty alive. It's just the two of us now, Molly. Besides, you can never let me starve, can you? You love me too much for that Molly. My daughter, I am already old, she says more tenderly. I couldn't work in a company like that. It's way too much work for me. And then I'm going to die before you anyway. Why keep things that won't be useful to me for long? It's your legacy.

I go to my mother who was lying in bed and took her in my arms to kiss her. My mother is all I have. I can't bear to see her saddened for anything. But there it is also a question of my happiness. But OK ! Maybe I could take care of both at the same time.

- Yes, I love you with all my heart, my dear mother. It is clear that I will take good care of you. But I don't want you to talk about death okay. I only have you left, don't make me sad by summoning the reaper please. I'll see what I can do for the business.

-Okay, I'm going to stop talking about my death. But please my daughter don't give up on the business.

- We'll see mum. But I'm warning you, I'm not going to abandon my plans. This is my true vocation as a mother.

- What are you going to do my daughter?

From the top of my 1m80, I always wanted to be a professional model. I have already had to do odd jobs. But nothing that really satisfies me. I turned 25 this year. And at my age, many other models have already seen their careers blossom. Why not me ? I sacrificed at all a few years back. Now I want to take it all back. Modeling is my life. Parade on a platform and hear my name chanted, it's the only thing I think about at night before falling asleep.

- I'm a model mom. I will look for work in this field. In the past, I had dropped everything to please Dad. But mom, you even know that I love what I do. I never wanted to be a businesswoman like you and dad would have liked.

-I know it my darling and I encourage you to do what your heart dictates to you. You know very well that I will always be there for you whatever you decide, she reassures me. If that's where you think you find your happiness, I'm with you.

- Thank you my dear little mother. I love you too much, you know, I smack him.

-This does not mean that you should run away from your responsibilities in the Molly family business. I expect you to be able to reconcile your passion and your responsibilities.

-Yes I know. But for now I need to blossom a little. Only then can I move forward.

-Good.

-I'm going to start looking for a job today.

***External Narrator***

The same day, Décoste, a friend of Molly, Knowing that she had returned to the country, invited her to a fashion show which was taking place in a large hotel in New York. One thing that Molly really appreciated. Not only does she like to parade. But above all, she also loves watching girls show off their talents.

She was very happy to participate with her lifelong friend Décoste. Garnet leather pants, a beige blouse, a gold sequined jacket, chelsea boots on her feet, and a neck necklace to complete the set and a small vintage bag from Dior, Molly was already ready for the event which, without knowing it, would change the course of his career.

Indeed, the parade had barely started that we had come to inform the managers that an unfortunate accident had occurred. Nouille, the company's flagship model, who is expected to close the event today had a car accident on the road on her way. Faced with this last-minute accident that has occurred, heads are heating up.

Décoste, who, fortunately for Molly, knew the people who were organizing the parade, approached the organizer as soon as he heard about everything that had happened, leaving his friend sitting in the crowd.

-What's going on Judith? Ask Décoste to this one.

-Nouille had an accident, she answers panicked. She now finds herself in the hospital. Apparently, it's serious. Hence his inability to close the parade. And as you can see, everything is already in place. There is no way I can cancel the parade now, she adds, trying to make calls nervously. There are already too many people here to do that. Too much money invested to back down.

-So you need someone to replace Nouille, right?

-Exactly. I've been calling all the time. But it looks like bad luck is following me. Not a top model worthy of the name is available. Either they have exclusive contracts elsewhere, or they are out of the country. I am caught in a Décoste furnace.

-Okay, I'll help you. I know a model who can replace her. She doesn't have a pro contract yet. But I am convinced that she will be much better than Nouille. So I'm going to talk to him about it. If however she agrees, she can replace your flagship model for today. She may even stay on while Noodle recovers if you strike a deal.
