Celestine ivy marcos araneta daughter of Irene Marcos and greggy araneta

that's my real name but I'm known as a famous model "ruzhiell" which is pronounced as rushel if you guys are wondering

I don't get recognized by many as the daughter of mr.and Mrs. Araneta because they have disowned me the day I decided to enter the world of modeling

as they said it would ruin their "private life" that they have been living peacefully with my two brothers

I might be in bad conditions with my parents but at least I still got my brothers and the rest of the family

as per them I should live the life I want and as long as I'm happy and it's right they would support me

and I'm contented with that...that's enough for me

besides of being a model I also run my own business all about pastries and sweets and it's going well and the income I get from it is enough for my daily expenses

Ruzhiell's pov

I woke up by the sound of my phone ringing early in the morning

When I checked it was my best friend adrizen

*/On call*/

A:hey girlie what's up?
R: nothing's up bro it's 5:32 in the morning. Why did you call anyway?
A:well I was curious to know where you would spend Christmas this year it's been like so many years since you came here to the Philippines
R:I haven't decided yet
A:it's already December 16 dude decide already
R:I don't know...i don't see a convincing reason to spend Christmas there
A:well I'm here so why not come home?and besides you haven't met any of your niece and nephew,like literally none of them
R:I'll consider that
A:great! Anyways I have to go I have work untill tomorrow pa
R:m'kay bye! Stay safe I love you
A:babush! You too I love you

*/Call ended*/

I placed down my phone back to my nightstand and sat up

I stared at my balcony for a few seconds before standing up and walking there

I opened the balcony door and just looked at the beautiful view outside

I sat on the chair at my balcony and just zoomed out

But all of a sudden my phone started going off so I walked inside and checked to see who it was

It was manager Elie Wieselton

*/On call*/

E:hey ruzh! Good morning

R: good morning sir

E:I just want to remind you about the Christmas collection that we will present

R:oh yes sorry I completely forgot sir

E:well that's alright... But we will present it next week from 18-21 of December and after that we will have the Christmas break na but if you don't like the date arrangement we could go 17-20 if you would like

R:well that's okay sir I don't have any plans Naman for this week until next week... Well at least not yet I guess. But the bakery will be closed Naman po until January 7 so any day would do

E:well if that's the case let's head with 18-21

R:sure sir

E:great! Thankyou ruzh! We'll call you when we finish everything up

R: alright thankyou sir

*/Call ended*/

After that call i headed to the bathroom and got my self ready

I wore black pants with a black tube inside underneath a black blazer

Yes,I'm feeling the spirit of black today

After getting ready I got on my audi r8 and went to the nearest Starbucks drive thru to get breakfast

I got their cinnamon roll paired with pure matcha cream

After getting my order I drove to my business partners place to discuss some stuff

When I arrived she immediately got out to welcome me

"Ruzhie! Merry Christmas my dear" She said and hugged me " merry Christmas linzey "I said

" Well what brings you here? "She asked not much I just wanted to update you that I won't be around for the meeting on 19 because we have a presentation of the Christmas collection and I won't be back until 21" I said

"That won't be a problem dear! I'll just take down notes and update you as soon as possible" she said "thankyou so much linz" I said

"Don't worry when I get back I'll bring you plenty of Christmas presents " I said "no need darling... Your hard work is enough" she said

"Thankyou again linz... But I have to go I'll be going to agency today " I said "well in that case go on... Take care" she said and hugged me again "thankyou! You too" I said and got in my car

After that I drove away and went to the company building

"Hey sir Elie" I said "ruzh! I was just about to call you" he said "well my instincts and boredom brought me here" I said

"Here... Take a look at this bag... It's new like it's so fresh like just a minute ago... But anyways we were thinking of adding it to the new years collection for next year what do you think?" sir Elie asked

" Well I think it suits it well... Yeah that's a great idea sir El"I said " great!" He said and did some talking to some staff

After that I finished reviewing and signing some papers that is needed for the upcoming presentation of the Christmas collection

While reading the last paper I almost popped my eyes out after reading where we would present this

'christmas collection ver. 6 presentation by December 18-21 of 2023 with Philippines Reco M. A '

I immediately ran out to sir El

"Sir? Do you have a minute to spare?" I asked "yeah sure what is it?" He asked "what's this?" I said pointing at the paper "what's what?" He asked "Philippines? Are we sure about this sir El? "I asked

" Ruzh.... I knew you wouldn't like this... But this could really help right now and I promise after this we will be avoiding projects in the Philippines" he said

" Ruzh please? Let's just give this a shot" he said I sighed " fine... But after this that's it"I said " thank you ruzh"he said and smiled

" Anyways... I have to go I'm done with the papers already "I said "alright take care" he said " okay thanks"I said and walked away

I didn't have anymore errands so I decided to stay at home and watch a movie by my self to kill some time
