Chapter 252 âMhm,â Scarlet answered with a hint of discomfort in her eyes, but she changed the topic swiftly.
âI heard that Mr. Eric and Mr. Young said your company would not pre-arrange the characteristics of your artists. Does that mean we get to be ourselves?â
âYes. Iâve gone through your profile; you can stick to your gentle and intellectual style. In a few days, youâll be attending the annual Horizon Night as the Head.â Charmine said with a professional tone.
âReally?â Scarlet called out in surprise.
Horizon Night was an annual event. As organized by the organizer, thousands of people would walk around the heritage area in traditional attires, a globally-known event. The Head had always been Tiffany Jordan; the company never gave it to anyone else.
Even when Scarlet took part in the past, she was only at the Second or Third seat. They even made her sneak in some snacks to eat during the show, in which she was criticized by many of the traditional-wear enthusiasts.
All of a sudden, she was to be the Head?
Charmine then answered in a mature voice, âYes, donât worry. We wonât make you binge-eat. Toss out the foodie character in the future. Do ask if you have any further questions.â
A thought then occurred to Scarlet as she asked, âDoes this go for other models as well?â
âEveryone is treated the same here.â Six simple words, well-versed and fluent.
As she spoke, Charmine handed a few files to her. Scarlet accepted the files and saw all the future plans for her and a few other supermodels. After getting rid of her pre-set foodie persona, the other supermodels had a personality that suited them. The plans not only got rid of their pre-set personas, but they even incorporated more opportunities. It looked much better than HollyOakâs proposal!
Scarlet stayed back on everyoneâs behalf to learn more about what RisingHawk had for them. I t seemed that everything was well thought-out for them.
She stood up and reached out her hand. âPresident Jordan, I look forward to working with you.â
âLikewise.â Charmine shook her hand and added, âRemember to tell everyone: If the high price signing turns out to be a loss, Iâm the one losing the most.â With that, Charmineâs lips curled upward as she left the office.
It was not until then when Scarlet remembered. Yes, the terminating compensation was almost 1 billion for each of them, and Charmine paid them all. If they did not work hard enough, Charmine would incur a huge loss. Furthermore, Charmine took them in with such high costs and gave the best customized proposals, all while only taking the least amount of commission. What was she after?
Looking at Charmineâs retreating form, Scarlet thought that Charmine was different from other supermodels, and different from any other managers...
After the meeting, Charmine went to another room to meet Eric and Rio Young. While Eric was not in, Rioâs eyes squinted into a long line the moment he spotted her. âCharmine, youâre finally free to come over,â he greeted her enthusiastically. âItâs been five years since the last time we met!â
âWhat now? Miss me? You want me here, checking up on you?â teased Charmine.
Rio hastily buttoned up the top button of his shirt. âYou donât have to. Iâve been so occupied with work everyday, and so are you, ever since Tiffanyâs exposed! You mustâve been swarmed b y the paparazzi lately. Howâd you have time to check on others?â.
Charmineâs eyes dulled at the thought of Tiffany. It was true that the paparazzi did look up for her and asked for interviews, in which she rejected them all. Still, perhaps she could consider attending a show or two in the future, all to publicly shame the couple.
Meanwhile, Rio added, âSpeaking of which, when I read the news about Tiffany, I remembered something important from five years ago that I shouldâve warned you. On the night of the incident, I saw Tiffany meeting up with a man and had a private conversation with him.â
âAman?â Charmineâs brows tightened as she grabbed onto his wrist. âWhat did the man look like?â
