Chapter 428 - RISING FAME
After talking about Jessie and giving Stanley some important information, Cayenne and Stefan finally went to take a swim. They swam towards Luiz and Dominic, reminding her brother about the photoshoot that they will be doing in two weeks.
"Do you think your uncle will be successful?" Cayenne questioned in whisper as they swam away from Dominic and Luiz.
"I'm not really sure. It's hard to tell with Jessie's stubborn attitude."
"I see." Cayenne nodded her head and didn't talk much about it anymore. They changed their topic into more relevant things like his work schedules.
Stefan was indeed having a vacation with them but from time to time, he'd be calling Chris to ask him about business matters. If he's got more time, he will also have a conference call with the shareholders. It's something that she can't do at all.
As they engaged in a conversation, Luiz and Dominic felt tired from all the swimming and decided to take a rest at the shore. They bought some drinks first before going back to sit with Kyle and just chat with him.
"Hey! Guys, check him out. Isn't the handsome man in the video wherein the birds flew around him?"
"Yeah. That's him!"
The group of females walked towards Luiz and smiled at him sheepishly. "Excuse me, are you the man in this video?" the woman who saw him first showed a video to Luiz.
He wanted to deny it but even if he wanted to, it will be very obvious that he's lying. "Yes, that's me. Why?"
"Can we take a picture of you?"
"Eh?"
Before he can say yes or no, the lady already gave her phone to her friends and decided to take pictures with him. Luiz was left with no other choice but to smile in front of the camera. One after another, they took pictures with him.
"Can we take pictures of your friends, too?"
"I guess that's fine." Luiz stated. However, Kyle covered his eyes with his sunglasses and ignored them. "You can't take pictures of him though because he's got a girlfriend already and he didn't want her to get jealous."
"Oh! I understand. I'd feel the same if it were me."
And since Kyle refused, they took pictures with Dominic instead.
This commotion caught the attention of the other tourists, especially the women who were nearby. They were wondering which celebrity it was and was trying to listen to the conversation. Using the words 'amazing man', 'bird', 'yesterday' and 'aviary'; the tourists searched for the information and finally found what it was.
They were stunned of the video as well. The young man was indeed handsome in the video and when the looked at him in person, he was even more stunning.
More and more ladies came to take pictures with them and soon, even men went to have pictures with the 'cool dude' who mesmerized the birds with his soul.
Kyle didn't car about the people coming over to them for pictures. Some stayed for a little while to chat with Luiz and Dominic. Some tried to talk with him but he only answered perfunctorily because he didn't really want to talk with strangers.
"Get used to this already. You will be doing this kind of things if we really pursue the modeling career." Luiz whispered to his brother but Kyle shook his head.
"I want a stable job. I want to become a teacher. In your case, since you want to become an engineer, you can have enough time to do modeling as well. I think it's not really suited for me. So, I won't pursue this path."
"Oh." Luiz didn't say anything anymore because he knew that once his brother's mind was set on something, it will be very difficult to change it.
Cayenne and Stefan was watching from the sea as well as Jonas and Stanley. They weren't worried about their things though, because the guards were there, looking after the kiddos and their belongings.
"I think I know what the bird trainer meant now." Stefan told Cayenne while watching the crowd at the shore. "Luiz was planning to embark on a modeling career and because of what happened at the aviary, his path was already starting to become clear in front of him. A step was already taken and as he took few more steps, his future will become even brighter. Unlike Kyle who chose to become a teacher, Luiz wanted to become an electrical engineer. Teachers will have to work more than twelve hours a day. Eight hours in school and four hours or so at home to prepare for the next day's class. As for engineers, I'm not belittling them but there are just so many of them in the country. If you get hired, you will have to wait to have projects and it's not always everyday that your company will get the project because there will be a lot of competitors. So, modeling is a good sideline job for Luiz when he's got nothing to do."
Cayenne was listening attentively to him and also realized that he was only telling the truth. At first, she really wanted to stop her brother from taking engineering course because it will be difficult to get a job in this line of work but she also wanted him to pursue what he likes; and the latter won over the former.
"Well, he's got a long way to go. As long as he enjoys his life and he's not harming other people, I won't stop him with whatever he likes doing."
"You're such a good sister."
"Of course. I'm the only sister they have."
Cayenne and Stefan continued to observe the commotion while Stefan gave silent signals to the guards, making sure that everyone was alright.
Just what Stefan said, Luiz will indeed have a bright future because many people will lend their hands to help him but along with his rising fame was the danger that they haven't eliminated yet.
