Chapter 329

When Aurelia looked at Eva, she noticed Eva raising her eyebrows. It seemed to indicate that Eva wasn’t taking Aurelia seriously.

Immediately, Eva turned her focus back to the screen and continued discussing the models‘ performances with the people around her.

It was clear that Eva was waiting for Aurelia to approach her as a compromise.

Kimberly nudged Aurelia. “Aurelia, we’re representing the company now. You can’t ruin our cooperation just because you offended Ms. Hanks. Do you know how many celebrities from Seacester are attending the charity gala? If we seize this opportunity, promotions and raises are within reach,” she advised.

Aurelia felt helpless after hearing what Kimberly said. She didn’t even know how she ended up angering Eva. However, she had no choice but to swallow her pride at this point.

Aurelia approached Eva and said politely, “Ms. Hanks, may I…”

Eva exploded in anger and glared at her. “Are you blind? Can’t you see we’re shooting here? Do you know that the cost of shooting is calculated by the second? A single blink from that model costs as much as your monthly salary. Can you afford to interrupt us?” she snapped.

As Eva berated Aurelia, people around them chuckled and cast mocking glances at her. Aurelia pursed her lips as she knew that Eva was deliberately humiliating her in public.

Although she didn’t understand why Eva held such animosity towards her, she could still see the excitement in Eva’s eyes as she humiliated her.

But there was nothing she could do about it. She couldn’t compete against someone with such power and influence in the industry.

To avoid further trouble, Aurelia took a step back and apologized, “Sorry.”

Eva felt a surge of satisfaction when she saw Aurelia retreat. It reminded her of the time when she handled the classmates who didn’t like her back at school. It made her feel like she was reliving her youth.

The next moment, Eva deliberately pushed Aurelia out from under the awning. “Don’t block the light! Stand outside and wait!” she barked.

It was the peak of summer now and the temperature of the morning sun was already

scorching.

Aurelia was drenched in sweat within a minute after being pushed into the sunlight. She wiped her sweat and turned to head towards the shade.

Suddenly, Eva called out from behind her, “Hey, you! Whatever your name is, help us hold up the reflector.”

Aurelia paused. Did Eva just call out to her with “whatever your name is“?

Although Aurelia knew Eva was calling for her, she didn’t bother to react. She refused to acknowledge being addressed so disrespectfully.

Eva didn’t expect Aurelia to play dumb. Her previous satisfaction instantly turned into frustration.

“Aurelia! Didn’t you hear me calling out to you? Is this how Young Advertising serves its customers? With disrespect?” she shouted.

“Is that right? Were you calling out to me? What do you need?” Aurelia asked mockingly and continued to play dumb.

Eva was furious, but she couldn’t say much. After all, she didn’t name anyone and only meant to humiliate Aurelia.

Instantly, everyone around them fell silent, leaving only the sound of cameras clicking. They all turned to Aurelia in disbelief, not expecting someone to be bold enough to ignore Eva.

Everyone knew that Eva was ruthless and vengeful. With a powerful background, no one dared to anger her..

Sensing everyone’s gaze on her, Eva felt humiliated and pointed at the reflector proudly “Aurelia, we are short–staffed today. Lift that reflector for us. The sooner we finish the shooting, the sooner I can start discussing the collaboration with you, right? Or do you not want this collaboration at all?”

Since Eva had failed at humiliating Aurelia, she resorted to threatening her instead.
