Chapter 496
Ellinor chuckled, âWow, you've got some serious fashion smarts, huh? Recognizing the brand and
collection just like that!â
Aunt Bluna replied elegantly, I attended the launch event for this Comi ensemble in person, so it left
quite an impression. Ms. Mendoza, you have impeccable taste. The dress suits you wonderfully, and
you wear it even better than the model did.â
Ellinor took the compliment in stride, grinning widely, âThanks, you're too kind.â
Aunt Blina admired Ellinor's grace and poise, giving her a once-over before extending an invitation,
I'm Bluna Howard, editor-in-chief of the weekly Fashion Pyramid. Ms. Mendoza, would you be
interested in modeling for our magazine?
Aunt Bluna was a renowned editor of a top fashion magazine, nicknamed the âFashion Devilâ in the
industry. Those who made it onto the pages of Fashion Pyramid were either global superstars or the
elite.
Haillie thought, âWhat's so special about Ellinor? She's a plain Jane How could she be a model for
Fashion Pyramid?
Patricia stepped forward, smiling sweetly. Aunt Bluna, I didnât know your company needed models.
I've had a lot of free time since coming back to the country I'd be happy to help out, that way you
wouldn't have to bother Balfour's secretary. With how busy things are at Balfours company. Ellinor
might get overwhelmed if she had to model on
the sideâ
Aunt Bluna looked at Patricia, her serious expression not portraying much warmth, âPatri, it's not
that I don't want to use you, but your image doesn't quite suit the style of Fashion Pyramid.â
Patricia's smile faltered, and she nodded slightly, looking a bit hurt, I'm sorry Aunt Bluna. I assumed
too much and thought I could be of help.â
Haillie couldn't help defending Patricia, âAunt Bluna, are you saying Patricia isn't beautiful enough?
Don't forget, she was a finalist in the Miss World pageant! If she hadn't had to withdraw because of
health issues, she would've been the winner for sure!â
"And what good would that have done?â Aunt Bluna looked thoughtful as she regarded Haillie, then
turned back to Patricia with a hint of disdain in her eyes, âPatri is beautiful, but she lacks a certain
self-confidence and freedom. She doesn't have the standout quality I'm looking for. Fashion
Pyramids style is all about being independent, free, and different. She doesnât have that, and there's
no need to force it. It's better for her to focus on her health at home.â
