“Slips your mind, huh?” Mel asked before teasingly adding, “Are you sure you weren’t just trying to keep him to yourself?”
Sarah was about to reply when Daniella asked, “Where have you been hiding all my life? You must agree to model for me.”
“Excuse me?” John asked in surprise.
“You have the body of a God, John; it’s a sin not to put it on display,” Daniella explained. “Become my shop's exclusive model; I promise to pay you fairly.”
“Daniella’s not wrong,” Mel replied. “There are plenty of male models out there whose bodies fall short of yours.”
“Exactly,” Daniella replied while snapping her fingers before adding. “We’d have to do something about your hair though.”
“We plan to go see François after finishing here,” Sarah replied.
“Excellent, excellent,” Daniella nodded before eagerly asking. “So what do you say?”
“I appreciate the offer, but I’m not really looking for work right now, since… well, just because.”
“John darling, you wound me,” Daniella replied as she held the back of her hand to her forehead and pretended to swoon. “You would keep such a body hidden away?”
“Perhaps he only plans to take it out to show his lover,” Jessica suggested teasingly.
“Honestly, it’s not a bad suggestion and one you should seriously consider, John,” Mel advised before continuing. “I understand why you have no interest in working now that you have credits coming in; however, being a model for Daniella’s clothing lines would help boost your reputation in the circles we spoke about earlier.”
“How about you just do it part time?” Sarah suggested and as she saw that she had everyone's attention added. “Why not just do it whenever Daniella has a new clothing line about to be released?”
John considered the idea before turning to Daniella and asking, “And how often do you release a new line?”
“We tend to release lines four to six times a year,” Daniella replied, causing John to shake his head before she hastily added. “But our main lines are only released twice a year, one between spring and summer with the other between fall and winter.”
“That wouldn’t be too bad,” Sarah stated. “You would only have to do modelling gigs twice a year then.”
John nodded while saying, “That's true.”
“Then it’s decided,” Daniella said happily.
“Slow down, Daniella. He hasn’t agreed yet and if he’s going to model exclusively for you, don’t you think you should sweeten the deal?” Mel asked. “Perhaps you could assist in enhancing his image with those that shop here while also giving him his own clothing line?”
“That’s perfectly doable,” Daniella replied thoughtfully. “We could call it Heaven's Garments or maybe God's Selection.”
“Do you really have to play off the godly aspect?” John asked in embarrassment.
“Of course,” Mel and Daniella replied simultaneously.
“You have the perfect body, John, a body all men will crave to have and all women will crave to hold,” Daniella announced theatrically.
“My line of… I mean my parents' line of work,” Mel quickly corrected before continuing. “Allows me to interact with men who all need to be fit and in shape, yet I can honestly say I have never seen a body as good as yours.”

“Makes you wonder if his entire body is that good, doesn’t it?” Jessica asked with a smirk as the eyes of the four women began to drop downwards.
John couldn’t help but take a couple of steps back at noting where the women were looking before he coughed and said, “I think we’re getting off topic.”
His words seemed to snap the women back to their senses as Mel cursed and said, “Fuck, his body's more dangerous than I thought.”
{What the fuck was that? No man's body has ever made me act like that before, not even the top celebrities in the world. Normally it’s them coming after me and my tits.}
“Agreed,” Daniella nodded.
“What sort of idea are you putting in our heads, Jessica?” Sarah asked as she glared at her bodyguard.
“It was only meant to be a joke,” Jessica replied.
“Only meant to be?” Sarah asked as if for clarification.
“But in all seriousness,” Daniella began again. “Going with the God theme just works with you; not many people could pull it off without facing ridicule, but I believe you could.”
Seeing that he was having a difficult decision, Sarah suggested, “How about we let him think about it while you sort out his wardrobe?”
“Sure,” Daniella nodded before turning and leading them further into the shop while saying, “I can tell you right now that I only have one or two pieces that you can take away with you today; everything else I will have to have custom made for you.”
“That’s surprising coming from you, Daniella,” Sarah replied.
“It’s John’s proportions; we just don’t have much that will fit him perfectly,” Daniella explained. “Sure, we have clothing he can try on to see if he likes them, but they won’t fit him right.”
“I guess that makes sense,” Sarah nodded as they reached the changing rooms before Daniella turned to John and said. “Head to the very end changing cubicle and remove all your clothing; there is a scanner in that cubicle that will measure your body. Although I would like nothing more than to do it myself."
“Daniella,” Sarah said in a warning tone.
“Yes, yes,” Daniella waved before continuing. “Once done, move to the closest cubicle so that we can start bringing you clothes we think you should try on.”
“Sure,” John nodded before heading inside, though as he did, he couldn’t help but think. {Why do I get the impression that this is going to take a while?}
{Poor guy doesn’t realise what he just agreed to,} Jessica thought as she saw the eager looks on the other women's faces.
“So I’m assuming he doesn’t know who you are, Mel?” Daniella asked as she fiddled with her access band and prepared to activate the scanner.
“He doesn’t appear to; it’s actually quite refreshing,” Mel replied.
“He wouldn’t recognise you even if you weren’t trying to disguise yourself,” Jessica chuckled, causing Mel to look at her in confusion.
“I asked him what he knew about you earlier in the elevator since the advert for your latest album just happened to be displayed and do you know what his answer was?” Sarah asked with a smirk before adding, “Melissa Delacruz, it says the name on the advert.”
“Seriously?” Daniella asked in surprise as Mel’s, or more precisely, Melissa Delacruz’s, mouth dropped open in surprise.
“I know, right?” Sarah said gleefully. “All that promoting of your new album you management made you go through and he still has no idea who you are. Just some name he vaguely remembers hearing a few times on the radio.”
“Where on Atlantia did you discover such a clueless man?” Daniella asked in shock. “How is it possible a horny teenage boy wouldn’t know Melissa Delacruz, especially with those assets?”
“His situation is… special,” Sarah replied.
“It would have to be not to know who Mel was,” Daniella replied as she activated the scanner after receiving a notification that John was in position.
{No wonder he didn’t really react when I accidentally let my real voice leak back then. Heh, so he doesn’t know me; well, perhaps I should enlighten him as to who Melissa Delacruz really is.}
“By the way, Mel, how long do you have off work?” Daniella asked curiously.
“Don’t even think of trying to get me to model for you; you can't afford me,” Mel replied while smirking.
“No, no, just polite conversation while I wait for the scanner to finish.”
“A few weeks at least,” Mel replied before continuing. “Because of my approaching Genesis Initiation, my last tour was intense, plus I had that movie shoot and the release of my latest album, and even then my initiation was still delayed by several weeks.”
“You must be burned out,” Sarah said sympathetically.
“You have no idea,” Mel sighed. “I’m just glad I now get to enter Genesis like the rest of you.”
“Still, it’s a good thing it was delayed, if it wasn’t…” Sarah began but didn’t finish.
“I agree,” Mel said happily while Daniella gave them a curious glance just before her access band notified her that the scan was done.
“Oh my, I knew they would be impressive, but this is something else.” Daniella remarked as she looked at the results before turning to the other three and saying, “Alright ladies, we have work to do, but first, kindly elaborate on what you meant when you said he needs a new wardrobe?”
"He needs everything,” Sarah replied. “The only clothes John currently owns are the ones he wore when we entered this shop. He needs clothing for all occasions."
“I was hoping you would say that,” Daniella replied happily before she instructed the three women on John’s sizes and told them to go find clothing they thought he would like.
