Ava arrived on the second floor; he placed his hand on the doorknob before twisting it, thereby moving it. She went in before subsequently closing it.
She eyed the surroundings, the closet, and stuff before walking straight to the bed, only to later sit.
Pulled out her phone before centering her torso’s gravity to fall on the bed. She raises her phone up towards the ceiling with the lightbulb providing illumination.
Ava continued to scroll around social media; she looked at pictures of the glamorous world she once investigated for a bit. Influencers and high-profile people are looking mesmerizing around others.
Then she tapped on some buttons to switch to her ‘MiszAva’ account. She looked at her pictures; all those backless, low-cut dress public photos were starting to fade from irrelevance.
The algorithms were starting to back away from featuring her photos; the trend shifted to showing the glamorous world where girls looked the part.
One picture shows a stunning figure with short hair with a Fawkes mask occluding only one side of the eye with a pole; it’s made of glitter. She had brown eyes with superior cheekbones, full lips, and a ponytail.
She was wearing a white dress with short straps; she posed as she held the one-sided masquerade mask through its pole-like handle.
Not only that, but her eye shone once the hand was holding the one-sided masquerade mask’s handle.
Her hand is on her waist to the left, while her arm is away from her center balance, holding the one-sided masquerade mask handle to her temple.
Ava was stunned as she stared at the photo before moving on to the next.
“They all got their unique clothing.”
“I look like an iteration of the same girl they see every day.”
She would look at cartoon or anime art and how their fashion reflects their persona, making them even more exciting and intimidating to look at.
“Wow.”
“If I can pull that effect on people, maybe I will grow even more. And not even be more lonely.”
“I wonder if I can look even better at work.”
She clenched her fist and lifted it up and said, “That’s it.”
Her torso jumped from the bed, and she held her phone and stared at a bunch of blouse-equipped females with blazers.
“Amazing”
She then turns around and makes an opportunistic smirk—her eyelids staring at the ceiling to its left.
“The question is… How do I ensure I could get into one of those high-end parties and activities…?”
Ava placed a hand on her mouth, her facial gesture becoming more opportunistic.
She rolled herself with her phone on the plush mattress and went to her contacts and typed, “Hey hey Maya, I hope you are not busy with that boss of yours. I was, uhm, wondering if you could get me some new clothes, ay? I am up for grabs and for side hustles.”
“I also want some fashion advice, you know. Help me learn about this stuff so I could be a more brandable companion for your boss? I am always looking for something to be sexier and hotter.”
For a while, Ava hasn’t gotten a response for minutes; her head is on the plush while the phone is on the bed near the headboard.
Soon a flash happened on the screen, its colors catching Ava’s attention so that she plucked her head from the pillow, crawled to her phone, and leaned her head towards it.
There was a notification from Maya; her eyes ignited with interest, and her mouth gestured a smile—she clicked on it.
Where the content reads, “Oh, so someone wants to get into fashion,” a chibi emoji of Maya with short bob-cut brown hair with a neon streak can be seen raising her thumbs-up hand, a cartoony version of her in a business suit.
“That’s great,” Maya subsequently replies after the emoji.
“But is there any real reason why you need to up your ‘dressing’ game? ”Maya asked on the chat.
You could be reading stolen content. Head to the original site for the genuine story.
Ava answered, “Oh, you know. I want to look good at work,” she typed with interest in her eyes, but opportunistic.
Maya replied, “Hmmm, well. I am kind of busy, but on these sites, does your salary accommodate your job? ”
Ava replied, “Oh definitely, but I haven’t been to work lately… I was more occupied with a training program for my work than anything else—I didn’t get my paycheck, so I am here for a side hustle.”
Maya replied, “I see.”
Ava then asked, “Do I still have my ‘confidant’ privileges, or is she into another female?”
Maya replied, “No, he hasn’t been with another girl lately; he’s been reluctant.”
Ava asked, ‘Why is that? What is he up to? ”
Maya texted, “I can’t tell; it’s confidential.”
Ava rolled her eyes and typed an inquiry on the chat, “Anywhere—where can I get money? ”
Maya replied, “Henry already gave you enough; you should bide your time and look elsewhere.”
Ava typed, “Please? ” with a begging emoji holding a prayer with tears coming out of its large eyes and her arched-up eyebrows.
Maya ghosted for minutes. Ava then exhaled, “Ughhhhh, I need money—I need to up-up my game! Ahhhhh.”
She started to throw childish tantrums on the bed, her head clearly annoyed before turning tired and bored with a bland face.
Soon, Maya replied, “Hey.”
Ava typed out, “Yeah? ” and clicked send.
Maya replied, “I think I have an objective for you. I’ve done some research on you and found out you’ve got some pretty impressive credentials for a ‘trophy.’”
Ava grinds her teeth and her eyebrows frown. “It was a job! ”
Maya replied, “Anyways, I have a task only someone like you can handle. Come meet me in the headquarters.”
Ava texted, “Really? For money and access to fashion, heck yeah! ”
Maya replied, “Great. I will await you there.”
Ava jumped from her bed and rushed out of Kurt’s house and went for a dopamine rush.
“Hahaha, I am getting money! ” she exclaimed as she rushed out of the house, striding to the William Corporation tower.
She then slowed down her walk and headed to a train; she used a transfer card and waited on the toll station underground.
She waited inside the train, which soon arrived. Ava then entered and went to the sedative pods. Ava braces herself for high-speed, disorienting activity.
Before Ava awakened from her pod and got off the train, where she emerged from the stairs seeing the metropolis, she kept walking with all the bustling activity in Sector 451.
She continued her walk, resolute.
After a while of walking, she then saw a large building a kilometer high, near the cloud.
The grandeur of the building was enough to give her the Megacorp vibes.
Ava commented, “This is ridiculously high…..” She started approaching the security entrance flanked by two security guards holding rifles with metallic arms with protective helmets.
Ava slowly approached two security guards, carefully and deliberately.
“Hello security, I would like to enter the building, please. The boss’s secretary, who is named Maya, requires my presence.”
Where the two security guards held their rifles up high and spoke with an accusatory tone, “How do you know Maya? ” with frowns in their eyes.
Ava disclosed, her eyes straight, trying to maintain a professional demeanor, “She needs my attention, sir. I can’t just pass on this request of hers.”
One security guard elevated his rifle and pointed it at Ava’s head, where she reflexively raised her hand up, palm open, biting her teeth.”
Ava attempted to reason with the guards. “Please, Maya wants me in.” The security guard, pointing a rifle at her head, exclaimed, “Shut up! You don’t have clearance.”
While the security guard held up his walkie-talkie tech, “We have a situation here; there is someone here requesting a briefing with Maya…”
Soon, a feminine but professional tone spoke through the walkie-talkie, “Let her in.”
The security guards holding their rifles looked at each other before nodding—she raised her open hand, pointing at the entrance begrudgingly, “Please, come in.”
“This way,” the other security guard nodded, and the door slid open. Ava entered the building.
Ava looked around and saw engineers and technicians working behind acrylic windows behind manufacturing robotics, software, and other engineering aspects—there were also soldering arms inside acrylic as they passed through the conveyor belt.
“Wow.”
Ava looked around the area; it was like a small mall, but for the most exclusive items on the market.
People were walking around, some gazing through the acrylic windows; one scientist with a beard, working on material science research, was visibly uncomfortable that someone from the other end, be it a rich kid or an influencer, was eyeing the scientist.
Meanwhile, software engineers were just there coding with people on the other end of the acrylic window who had installed technologies that could occlude their monitor from being observed.
Soon an attendant approached Ava; it was a female with eyeglasses wearing a tech suit.
“Good evening… You appear to be a special guest of this building; should I accompany you? ”
“Miss?”
Ava stared at the lady and then nodded and said, “Of course, please do accompany me to Maya.”
The attendant turned around with her hand raised, wearing a tech suit with a blue neon strip and a whitish bodysuit with fabric, and said, “Right this way.”
Ava soon trod forth, her steps following the attendant. She followed the attendant, and they entered the cylinder with glassy-like material around the elevator.
The attendant taps on some buttons, and the elevator goes through elevation with nitrous oxide sprayers.
It soon halted, and the elevator slid open.
The attendant walked forward out of the elevator with Ava trailing behind.
“Miss, I brought your guest.”
She could see a figure near the transparent windows, looking out at the world, her bob-cut brown hair with neon streaks overlooking the monumental buildings around her.
Hands on the back, she was giving off the ‘powerful-executive’ presence befitting her status—donning a suit with a blazer and a blouse. She looked up to the skies before turning around, inevitably facing Ava with the attendant.
She begins making her steps as she approaches Ava. “You are just in time.” She glanced at the attendant and said, “Leave us.”
The attendant nodded obsequiously before tapping on the interface, and the elevator descended with a “swishhh” sound.
Maya, with her hands on her back, smiled seductively. “Now? Where were we? ” approaching Ava with her blazer and her blouse.
