The modeling world… it's kind of an awkward scene.
Is it part of the fashion crowd?
Not really. Globally, maybe a few dozen top models can confidently say they're in the fashion circle.
Most of the time, the modeling world is just the outer edge of entertainment.
And the gig's got a catch: a youthful, fit body is non-negotiable. Even the best models are stuck eating the "youth meal"—it's a short shelf life.
That's a huge difference from Hollywood!
In Hollywood, being young and gorgeous matters for actresses, sure, but that's just the entry ticket. To really climb the ladder, it's not about looks or a hot bod—it's connections, popularity, and acting chops.
Take today's top Hollywood actresses: Meryl Streep, Julia Roberts, Nicole Kidman… they didn't hit the A-list until after 30.
For models, though? Thirty's a wall.
So, girls in the modeling game know the deal: they're cashing in on their youth!
If they don't bank some serious cash while they're young and stunning, those measly earnings later won't even cover their lavish lifestyles.
Finding a "boss" to bankroll them? Pretty much a no-brainer.
Gisele Bündchen, Victoria's Secret's hottest star right now, is all over Leonardo DiCaprio, playing the grand love story card. Looks impressive, right?
But come on—who doesn't know Leo's a total player?
A big chunk of it is that Leonardo DiCaprio brings Gisele more fame, more buzz, and a cushier life.
Let's be real: how's Leo and Gisele's thing any different from Dunn and Angela Lindvall?
It's just "love" as a fancy cover.
Dunn loves dating models—not just because they're tall, fair-skinned, and gorgeous, but because they know their place. Compared to Hollywood actresses, they're less full of themselves and way more eager to please.
Date a Hollywood starlet, and you're dodging little tantrums and attitude. But with Angela Lindvall? Dunn only ever gets sweet, submissive vibes—she's all about keeping him happy.
And yeah, she's plenty passionate, fiery, and open-minded too!
Karolína Kurková showed up around dinner time. Dunn hadn't even said much when Angela jumped in, "You've always wondered how I afford such a nice place, right? Mr. Walker's my boss."
Karolína Kurková was drop-dead gorgeous—flowing blonde hair, pale skin, delicate features, and a sweet smile. She was only 17, but her figure was already smoking hot—tall, curvy, holding her own next to Angela Lindvall.
Her voice was sugary too. "Hi, Mr. Walker."
Dunn smiled and nodded. "You're beautiful."
"Thanks."
Angela Lindvall grinned. "Dumb-dumb KK, Mr. Walker's saying he's got his eye on you!"
"Huh?"
Karolína froze, catching Angela winking like crazy across the table. It clicked—she got the hint. "I…"
Her face turned beet red, totally flustered.
She was a newbie, after all. Killer looks, sure, but zero experience.
Dunn figured there was no point sticking around—his vibe was too intense, and he didn't want to freak the poor girl out. This was a mutual thing; no one should feel pushed. He stood up. "You guys take your time eating. I'll be in the study."
Once Dunn left, Angela huffed, exasperated. "You idiot, how do you let a chance like this slip?"
Karolína's face was practically dripping with embarrassment. "I… I know…"
"What don't you know? Mr. Walker told me he likes you. So, what's your deal?"
"He likes me?"
Karolína blinked, looking clueless.
Angela didn't even know where to start. She rolled her eyes hard. "Not that kind of like! Ugh, you're such a dope. He wants to be your boss—yes or no?"
Karolína stared at her blankly. "But… isn't he your boss?"
Angela snapped, "So what? He's my boss—does that mean he can't be yours too? He's Dunn Walker!"
"Well…"
"You don't read the papers? All those Hollywood actresses are clawing to get near him. Now you've got this golden ticket—don't tell me you're gonna pass!"
"I… I didn't say no." Karolína's eyes welled up, her lips pouting. "I'm just… thinking it over."
Angela pressed, "What's there to think about? He's Dunn Walker! Look at what he's got—could you find a better boss anywhere in the world?"
Karolína bit her lip. "I've never done anything like this before."
Angela gave her a long look. "Don't forget, you're a model! This job's all about youth—making money while you're young and hot. Don't toss away your prime years and a sweet future for some cheap pride."
Karolína mumbled, "I know. Since I got to New York, tons of vets and designers have said the same thing."
Angela smirked. "See? Opportunity's knocking—don't be dumb enough to miss it."
Karolína shyly glanced at her. "But… he's your boss. We can't just…"
Angela groaned. "Why are we back to this? Yeah, he's my boss—so what? He's loaded! He could handle both of us and ten more girls. What's the problem?"
"No… that's not what I meant. I just feel…"
Karolína stammered, struggling to spit it out.
"Shy?" Angela guessed.
Karolína pressed her lips together and gave a tiny nod.
Angela couldn't help but laugh. "Seriously? You know Ambrosio and Lima? Back in the day, the three of us even… eh, whatever, it's no big deal. You'll get used to it."
Karolína nibbled her lip, head down, and let out a soft "Oh."
…
Ten minutes later, Angela, all smiles, dragged Karolína by the hand to the study door.
Dunn was lounging in a recliner, eyes closed, soaking in the tunes from an old-school vinyl record player spinning nearby.
"Dunn, we're here!" Angela chirped, beaming like a kid waiting for a gold star.
Dunn grinned and looked at Karolína. "What about you?"
She just stood there, dazed, until Angela yanked her arm. "He's talking to you!"
Karolína mustered her courage and met Dunn's gaze. "Sir, I… I've thought it over. I… I want to go with you…"
Dunn teased, "Go with me where?"
Her face turned apple-red. "I… I want to be your friend… uh, partner."
Angela couldn't hold it in—she burst out laughing.
Karolína's blush deepened.
Dunn chuckled. "Alright, kidding. Come here—I'll give you a hug."
Karolína hesitated.
Angela shoved her again. "Go already!"
Dunn was sprawled on the recliner—not exactly hug-friendly—so Karolína gingerly leaned in, resting against him.
Dunn, with her warmth in his arms, was pretty pleased. "You know my rules?"
Karolína buried her face in his shoulder like an ostrich, ignoring Angela behind her. "Yeah, Angi just told me."
"Good enough." Dunn savored her youthful energy, marveling at how a 17-year-old could have such a killer, tall figure. "You'll stay here from now on. In, say, five years, I'll buy you an apartment like this one—my gift."
"For me? Really?"
Karolína perked up instantly, lifting her head, eyes sparkling like gems.
Dunn raised a brow. "You don't trust me?"
"I do! I do! Wow!" Karolína squealed, over the moon.
A swanky place like this? Anyone would kill for it!
Even if she made it as a top model, pulling in $10 million a year, after taxes and expenses, saving up for a luxe apartment like this would take a decade.
And modeling's a young woman's game—you can't just dump all your earnings into a fancy pad, right?
But now, with Dunn as her big-shot boss, five years was all it'd take to score this for free.
What a deal!
No wonder Angela Lindvall, already a famous supermodel, bent over backwards to keep Dunn happy.
Sure, his rules were strict, but the perks? Insane!
Dunn's lips curved up as he nodded at Angela. "Go close the curtains."
Angela blinked. "Here?"
"Problem?"
"Nope! Whatever you say." Angela flashed a flirty smile, then pinched Karolína's waist with a mischievous grin.
