SHE WAS QUITE DIFFERENT!
Once Sheila stepped in the hall way, everything changed! The atmosphere, the countenance of the people was nothing short of mockery. She had become a laughing stock! None of this was her fault. Sheila was born with a unique feature, from her hair to her toe nails. It wasn't the usual colour, thus people attached quite a lot of speculations to it. Sheila had lost her ...self esteem owing to unkind words, she was always in a hurry to hide behind closed doors! She felt like ending it all, even the encouraging words of her parents were not enough to pacify her.
Slowly, the curtain was closing up on Sheila, and her world was coming to an end, suddenly she had an encounter that changed everything....
"I had like to see your parents" The young lady, who had stopped by the shopping mall, said.
Sheila looked at the stranger for a while, and turned away without any response, she was very pessimistic.
The young lady moved closer, this time with a broader smile.
Almost immediately, her mother arrived at the scene, and was quite defensive.
"Leave my daughter alone! You, people should stop harassing her! Is it a crime to be different?" Sheila's mother went on, and on ....
"Oh! I see you are her mother!☺️
Great to meet you! Actually, it's beautiful to be different, I must say that your daughter is a rare gem, and my company would like to endorse her for a long term project." The young lady responded.
Sheila's mother stood still for a while, and pondered over what the young lady said. Perceiving that she had no mischievous intention, Sheila's mother was quite at ease.
"What exactly do you mean, please?" She asked further.
"Pardon my manners, I am Evy, and the C.E.O of Evyton. I run a company that deals on feminine products, and we love to tell our story in a unique way, so you can say that we have quite a different approach to branding." The young lady explained, as Sheila stared at her. A long silence followed.
"So... I take it that you want my daughter to model for your company? Right?" Sheila's mother said.
"Exactly! and trust me, she will Inspire others like her, in diverse ways. If we seal the deal, her package runs into millions for as long as the project last, actually we value our brand, as well as the content." The young lady, Evy said.
Mrs Sheila heaved a heavy sigh, as she had become overwhelmed, then the tears came rolling down her cheek as she held on to her daughter.
Evy was quite alarmed, as she quickly brought out a handkerchief, and offered it to Sheila's mother.
"Sorry ma'am, is it something that i said? She asked.
Sheila's mother, quickly wiped off the tears from her eyes, and turned to Evy.
"Actually, this is quite overwhelming for me, because this is the first time, anyone would say something this valuable about my daughter, and to now imagine that she is considered to be an asset! Hmmm!" Sheila's mum exclaimed.
"Well, ma'am the uniqueness that lies beneath a masterpiece is not seen by everyone, that's why it's actually, unique'👌"
