Chapter 69: Chapter 70

Chapter 70 Prince Simon Gray personally making clam chowder for Charmine? That can’t be true!’ thought Luke Reed, Anthony’s assistant. At that moment, he felt Charmine’s frosty glare, a clear warning, and remembered Anthony’s words that went, ‘Whatever her demands, go along with it.’

Hence, he replied, “Yes, my chairman is Prince Simon Gray.”

Tiffany stiffened in shock. She had originally thought that she could try and provoke or even seduce this mystery chairman. She never thought of this outcome instead, and Charmine had embarrassed her again.

Tiffany’s heart pounded frantically in her embarrassment as she blurted, “Veronica, help me to the changing room. It’s probably time for the last shot of the day.”

“Of course! You’re so professional when it comes to work, Tiffany. You’re not like some people who are only focused on eating,” responded Veronica as she cast a displeased look at Charmine and helped Tiffany to the changing room.

Charmine rolled her eyes and paid no attention to them. She returned the container to Luke and said, “Please tell him that he doesn’t need to send me anything from now on.

“Tell him to pay more attention to the person he should be looking after.” Charmine had received things from Anthony twice, but when she thought of how he was spending his time and energy on her but refused to spend time with Momo, she still did not have a good impression of him.

Since returning to the country, her aim had always been on business. There was no place for romance or falling in love. Luke decided i t was in his best interest to say nothing, so h e merely nodded and left.

The onlookers could not help but question what they had just heard, and they wondered about the meaning behind Charmine’s words. Why did her words sound odd? Was it because Prince Simon Gray had fallen for Charmine, and she wanted to remind him to devote himself to Princess Verna, his wife?

That was admirable of her, that was for sure.

Charmine merely shrugged off the questioning glances all around her and walked into the changing room for her outfit change.

This was the final set of clothes to be photographed, and it was also going to be the cover photo of the magazine. Compared t o the personal portraits, a twoperson photoshoot was more challenging. They had two concerns: They had to present themselves as best as possible and outdo their rival to draw attention to themselves.

Tiffany had thought about this point and did her best to improve her appearance, touching up her makeup.

When it was time for their joint photoshoot, Tiffany saw Charmine in her red dress and could not help but laugh inwardly.

Compared to her previous outfits, this was a deeper shade of red. The sleeves were balloon – styled short sleeves while the dress had a square neckline that hugged the collarbone snugly. As for the bottom half of her outfit, there were layers upon layers of large mesh skirts. Even though her outfit was Frenchinspired and looked luxurious, it did not fit the summer theme well. 2 In contrast, Tiffany was wearing a light avocado green-colored one-piece short dress with a sleeveless design. There were laces on her shoulders which made it look very sweet and delicate. The V-neck design allowed a faint hint of cleavage to be seen though not completely. More importantly, there was a triangular cut-out at the waist of the dress, which exposed her snow-white stomach and cute belly button. She looked charming and playful.

As they stood side-by-side, it was obvious that Tiffany’s dress was the one everyone would want to own. At that moment, the manager announced, “The flamingo is your prop, so you can pose any way you like, so long as you both keep your peace.”

“We will,” responded Tiffany as she walked up to the flamingo and straddled it. She stretched both of her legs out, and as the skirt only came up mid-thigh, her long and straight legs were revealed in their full glory. As she sat at a slight angle to the camera, one could see the curve of her chest and the creative cutout at her belly button.

Tiffany leaned against the flamingo casually, and the pose made her look like a lovable fresh-faced young girl. At that moment, she received a round of applause from the photoshoot team. 1 “Perfect! Utter perfection! Absolute perfection! Ms.

Tiffany, don’t you dare move. Maintain your position, and don’t move a muscle!” said the photographer excitedly. He looked at Charmine and instructed her, “Ms. Charmine, try to match and complement Ms.

Tiffany’s pose. Just make sure to avoid bumping into her.”

`Avoid bumping into her’? That was music t o Tiffany’s ears. At this rate, Charmine could only stand behind her and find a pose to complement her. What pose could Charmine come up with? Charmine would definitely dim next to her, and she would surely lose!
