Cyd and Alex stepped out of the restroom after their little talk, and made their way towards Simon's office. Alex could feel herself getting excited as she made the thoughts permanent in her mind that she was working for Il Divo. It was something that she wasn't used to, but she knew she had to get used to it. If she did her job right, she would be taking shots of the divos for a long time.
The two of the girls entered Simon's office and were surrpised to find he wasn't the only one present in the room. They found Simon chatting with three other ladies at a round table as they waited for Cyd and Alex.
" Ah, and here are the lovely ladies now." Simon smiled as he noticed Alex and Cyd enter the office. He stood up as he made his way towards them, with a kind smile swept across his face. " Allow me to introduce you girls to the others." He smiled as he gestured his hand to towards the other three ladies sitting at the table. " Alex this is Ingrid, and Carla. They will be helping you with the photography."
" Hi nice to meet you." Alex smiled as she held her hand out for Ingrid and Carla to recieve. Alex couldn't believe how beautiful they each were. Ingrid with her long brown curly hair, and blue eyes. And Carla with her black hair and green eyes, with such a beautiful complection. Both of them did. She all of a sudden fealt jealouse of both of the girls, she knew that they would also be photographing Sebastien. Alex deep down inside wanted to be the only one to do so.
" Nice to meet you to." Ingrid smiled back as she stood up to shake her hand.
" Cyd this is Dee." Simon pointed to the other girl. " She will be helping you with your song writing."
Cyd smiled as she shook her hand to the two lovely ladies, giving the gestering nods.
" Shall we sit and start some preperations?" Simon asked as he gestured his hand out for Alex and Cyd to take a seat. Both of the girls nodded as they sat beside the other three ladies.
As the meeting continued through out the whole evening, Alex began to feel more and more tired, and jealouse. She didn't know why she was feeling this way, this feeling was knew to her and she didn't know how to take it. She took a few glances at Ingrid through the meeting and couldn't believe how pretty she was. There was no way Sebastien could be friends with her again, not after he takes on look at Ingrid, he would be sure to forget all about Alex and move on to someone new.
Alex could feel herself beginning to feel more and more depressed as she looked more and more at Ingrid. She pushed those thoughts in the back of her mind as she tried to concentrate on the meeting, and what Simon was planning on doing with the girls, and the divos.
" So that settles it. Cyd will write the songs and Carla and Dee will edit them." Simon's voice rang through Alex's mind, bringing her back to reality. " And of course Ingrid and Alex will photgraph the boys, making sure everything is in place."
" Uh, Simon are you sure that's a good idea? I mean ..... I can handle taking photos by myself." Alex suggested, the jealousy was taking over her mind.
" Yes Alex I know you could, I just thought it would be more fun for you two. And plus, you girls can help eachother out when you need it." Simon smiled as he looked across at Alex and Ingrid.
Alex just looked down at the table, not saying a word. She knew she would fale no matter how hard she would tried.
" Well, that should rap it up ladies." Simon replied as he stood up. " You girls have a good rest this weekend, and I should see you all Monday."
" Thank you Simon." Cyd smiled as she stood up, running her hands down her black dress.
" Yes, thank you." Alex forced a smile as she stood up along with the other ladies. " It was realy nice to meet you girls again." Alex smiled as she turned around to shake hands with the other three.
" You too." Ingrid smiled kindly back as she shook Alex's hand once more.
Alex made her way through the office and out the door along with the other ladies. The girls gave eachother kind nodds and smiles once more before leaving in seperate directions. Alex was just about to step into the elevator when she realized she left her purse, and imediatly made her way back to the office.
" Oh, Cyd I was wondering where you went to." Alex replied as she re entered the office once more.
" Oh, I was just appling some chaptstick." Cyd replied as she placed the mirror she was once looking into, into her purse.
" Yeah, well I need my purse evidently." Alex chuckled as she reached for her purse that was sitting in the chair she was in before.
" Alex tell me something." Cyd said looking down at her bent over friend who was scurring through her purse.
" Hmmm..." Alex mumbled as she looked through her purse, making sure everything was still there.
" What was that all about?" Cyd asked placing a hand on her hip.
" What was what about?" Alex repeated still looking through her purse.
" The whole 'I can take pictures myself' thing. What was that? Ingrid is here to help you." Cyd replied still looking down at her.
"I know." Alex broke from her purse and looked up at Cyd with a saddned look on her face. " I have no idea where that came from."
" Well, all I know is if you keep that up, don't be surprised that you would be looking for a new job." Cyd replied as she made her way to the door. She was totally disgusted by Alex's attitude, she knew it wasn't like Alex at all.
" I don't know what came over me. I just saw Ingrid, and ..... well, she's so pretty." Alex tried to find the words as she followed Cyd to the door.
" Alex, if you're worried that Sebastien won't be interested in you because Ingrid is here now, think again." Cyd replied bluntly as she walked through the hallway, and towards the elevator.
" Now what makes you say that?" Alex replied, a little shocked of how well Cyd truly knew her.
" Look Alex, yes, Ingrid is beautiful. But, he is way into you than her, trust me!" Cyd responded as they both stepped into the elevator.
" I just hope so." Alex sighed as she adjusted the strap of her purse on her shoulder.
" Just trust me on this okay, and if you don't like how things are going, we will go back to New York. Deal?" Cyd replied as she heald her hand out at Alex.
" Deal." Alex smiled as she placed her hand in Cyd's, gently shaking it.
