Chapter 8

Carla picked up her jacket, scarf and folders to direct herself to the elevator. Minia was lost in her new lesson of the day. She could not understand how Carla could be so unbelievably strong and confident in her work. Carla turned her head to notice Minia in her daydreaming. She stood up watching her as a mirror of her old self. She could not believe how someone can be looking up to her as a model. She smiled and put up the boss face in a second to get Minia attention.

The John Wayne event represented the commemoration of the former actor John Wayne in the Western movies in the 1950's to 70's. He realized titles such as True Grit, The Searchers, and Rio Bravo. In the day of his death anniversary, the new generation wanted to remind them the work of one magnificent pioneers of Movies in the US. The event would occur in California where artists and celebrities originated in this corner of state and Carla and his agency had the chance to be the planner. Carla and Minia sat in the car finishing projects, adding new ones, and concluding last minutes modifications Carla earned a car where she set up a place to be at ease in the middle of the car with her flowering pillow and her favorite picture of her time away from her family. She took a look again at Minia who put her efforts in her work and her concentration in figuring her big sister before she turned to be the new CEO of Lawrence Wedding and Event. Carla thought of the first time she met Jeremia in mother house.

The day came for her to present herself to mother and she knocked at the door. The voice reached with echo to tell her the door rested open, the only thing she could do simply to push it. She did and her look fell over Jeremia. Jeremia appeared to her as a resolution to redeem herself from what she did in the past and she immediately saw her as a mean to build someone and to repay the society with a strong and independent woman who can pass the model.
