Follow Me novel Chapter 11

After a set of anxious catwalk, Sadie Chambers turned around and walked back. By accident, she realized someone was looking at her and felt scared.

It wasn’t easy for Talia to get this job. Hopefully, whoever watching her wasn’t trying to pick on her and not pay her.

She had seen this kind of issue before. Her colleague accidentally sprained her ankle and her performance fee was deducted by twenty percent.

Even top models couldn’t guarantee there wouldn’t be any unexpected issue on stage. Yet, they couldn’t bother less, not paying you the full performance fees simply meant no.

She went back to the private room that was used as the backstage. As soon as she walked in, she immediately put the tray back in its original spot. Then she picked up another cheongsam and put it on.

Even if there was any minor problem, she had to finish her walk for this half an hour.

As she finished changing her clothes, she unexpectedly saw Talia Burns standing in the middle of the house with a dim face and she was suddenly shocked. “Talia?”

“You don’t have to go out anymore.” Talia removed the scarf in her hands and carefully tied it around Sadie’s waist. “Follow me quickly.”

Sadie was confused as she was dragged outside. She only reacted after she got into the car and she asked with doubt, “Talia, did I do anything wrong?”

“No, you did well just now. A minor mistake doesn’t matter.” Talia let out a breath and showed a smile on her face. “You stay in the car and you won’t be paid less. If the others asked, just say your stomach is not feeling good. Can you remember this?”

Julian Mccarthy’s assistant called her personally. How would she dare to let Sadie perform catwalk again? Especially in this sexy costume. She still wanted to live.

Something didn’t make sense. This girl was so ugly. Why would Julian, a powerful man, be interested in her? It was not only him but also Samuel Read who was inside.

He actually asked her whether Sadie did other ‘work’ which almost scared her to death. These rich guys really had some different tastes.

Sadie pressed her lips into a line and nodded. She felt that Talia was hiding something from her.

However, she wasn’t willing to tell her and Sadie didn’t ask any further. She was taking an unfair advantage as she only performed for only a turn and she would still get the same performance fee as her colleagues.

“I’m going back to manage the stage again. You just stay here.” Talia patted on her shoulder. She closed the car door and walked back.

Sadie looked at her until she was out of her sight. She was extremely confused. What was actually Talia hiding from her? Since last weekend, she was acting strange.

She was very warm, but not from her heart. Every time she smiled at her, she felt fear as if she will turn hostile in the next second.

After waiting in the car for twenty minutes, Talia brought the other colleagues out, showing a relaxed face. Sadie looked at her through the car window, her worries slowly faded.

Luckily, no unnecessary problem had occurred because of her mistakes. Everyone got into the car and saw her sitting inside earlier. They were curious and asked her about it.

Sadie just said everything that Talia had told her and sat quietly in the corner with a bitter smile.

Everyone didn’t doubt her words at all and they comforted her. This matter was then finally over.

Sadie went back to the shop and changed out of her cheongsam. She received the performance fee tonight and returned to the orphanage.

Otto Newman asked his assistant to send the card to the orphanage. The card was given to Libby Webb and she couldn’t wait to check it.

With this money, she would have enough money to pay back Julian right after the weekend work.

She went upstairs and opened the door. Libby who had already showered was in her precious black pure silk pyjamas, playing on her phone on her bed lazily.

“Sister, did someone come here to meet me around seven? Did he give me anything?” Sadie put her bag onto her bed and said excitedly. “It’s a card.”

Libby rolled her eyes and hardly suppressed her detest towards Sadie in her mind. She raised her head from her phone and pointed at the desk. “It’s over there, look for it yourself.”

Otto was such a nuisance. She asked to borrow money from him. He lent her but then asked his assistant to send the card to Sadie.
