Chapter 65 It was only until she ran out of her lipstick that Charmine entered Guci Tower.
All the staff members were waiting for her. The moment she walked in, Guciâs manager approached her swiftly and greeted, âHello, Ms. Jordan. Weâre finally able to meet. Our makeup artists and photographers are all waiting for you.â
âSorry for the wait.â Charmine had always treated the staff with a humble attitude.
âNo, please, donât be. Youâre a person of importance with such popularity. We understand entirely.
Someone will do your makeup while I brief you through todayâs schedule.â
Guciâs manager brought Charmine to the makeup room personally. Charmine sat down beside Tiffany and all the makeup artists, assistants, and hairstylists gathered around her.
Tiffany clenched her fists as she saw them approaching. The manager did not even greet her personally; it was the assistant who brought her here.
Yet, here they were, with the manager personally accompanying her.
Charmine was just a newbie! Why did she get better treatment than her, the number one supermodel?
Veronica saw the change in her look and she quickly covered her up and retouched her makeup. âDonât overthink it, Tiffany. Just do your best later and get some pretty shots, alright?â
Tiffany regained her composure. Of course, she was the number one supermodel; she had countless experiences of shooting for magazines. She knew the angles, poses, and the cameras better than anyone else. She would surely best Charmine and prove herself to be the prettiest. 2 The manager stood in-between them and announced, âFor this Summer collection, our Guci designers had two collections, and each of you would represent one collection. The shots will be published in the magazine, and the collection with the most sales would win this showdown.â Ili âIâm aware that both of you are the top models in the industry, and Iâm sure Guciâs sales overall would reach a new and never-before-reached mark in history.â
âOf course, Iâll need you two to discuss whoâll represent the Avocado Green collection and whoâll represent the Ruby Red collection.â
For this, Tiffany swiftly answered, âSince Charmineâs temperament is bright and bold, I think red suits her better, and red stands out more easily as well. Iâm sure red will be more eye-catching when published in the magazine, which would help the sales of this collection. Iâll let you have this.â
Tiffanyâs tone was so kind and gentle that the manager and staff members looked at her with awe and respect. They did not expect her to treat Charmine with such friendliness.
Charmine merely scoffed. âDoes she think Iâm stupid?â
she mused to herself.
The Ruby Red collection was no doubt a queen-color collection; it would definitely stand out among the rest. Nonetheless, this was a summer collection shooting.
In summer, everyone would prefer clothes in lighter shades, especially the light shade of avocado; cooling and refreshing. If one were to inspect the streets, it would be a rarity to even see a person in ruby red under the hot summerâs sun!
According to the statistics about human personalities, most of the people belonged to the âmediocreâ group.
Only a few out of a hundred people had the tendency to enjoy publicity and attention, and only these few people were likely to buy something from the Ruby Red Collection. Needless to say, sales of the Ruby Red collection were most likely to lose against the cooling Avocado Green collection.
Once she saw Charmine silent for a good while, Veronica stepped in. âWhatâs wrong, Ms. Jordan?
Tiffany gave you such a good color collection, so why are you still unhappy?â
âIf itâs so great, why donât you take the Ruby Red collection? I donât need your charity,â Charmine refuted instantly.
Tiffanyâs face stiffened. Of course she would not take on the red collection. Who would want to buy red clothes in summer?
âIâm the elder sister, so itâs on me to let m y younger sister have all the good things,â she replied after she mustered her kind persona once more. âIâve always let you have good things since we were both young, so letâs just keep it this way. I believe you wonât let me down.â
Tiffany walked to the collection and picked a few avocado green clothes before she left for the changing room.
