Charmine’s eyes swept across the assistant standing at the door before responding to Tiffany, “There’s nothing wrong with clam chowder, but... This clam chowder isn’t for you.” Charmine eyed Tiffany condescendingly before she turned to the assistant and asked, “Since you’re here, why are you still standing there?”The assistant instantly hurried over to Charmine’s side and placed the clam chowder in front of her. “Ms. Charmine, please enjoy this dish,” came his curt response. “Our chairman stayed by the stove for three hours just to make this clam chowder for you.”Tiffany was dumbfounded; the clam chowder was not for her but for Charmine instead! Charmine was just a newbie, yet she already had a chairman preparing clam chowder for her personally? That was maddening. Extremely maddening!Everyone in the room began to point and sneer at Tiffany while they eyed Charmine with admiration. Charmine received the dish and sampled the clam chowder rather elegantly. The moment she tasted i
‘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. Sh
Bmitey looked at Charmine fretfully; she was overwhelmed with anxiety.What was Charmine’s plan? Could she turn water into wine? This was next to impossible.Meanwhile, Tiffany was seated on a flamingo, a sweet smile adorning her face as she did. She looked like an ethereal fairy, protected and unaware of the ongoings around her.The avocado green and pink-colored flamingos made a perfect match. The combination looked so aesthetically pleasing that one could almost forget about the midsummer heat.In contrast, Charmine’s large red top paired with a loose-fitting skirt kept her covered up tightly. Both her chest and legs could not be seen. How could she best Tiffany at this rate?Everyone present was curious, but the nonchalant Charmine merely turned to ask Tiffany, “Are you sure you want to sit there in this manner? Won’t you regret it?”“Yes. Why not? Can’t you think of any poses to match mine?” Tiffany replied.Though it was not so obvious, Tiffany’s reply was laced with sarca
It was only after Tiffany spoke that the photographer remembered she was there as well. He took a closer look at the photograph.While Tiffany did well, the background was colored pink just like the flamingos on set. Tiffany’s green clothes paled in comparison, and the eye could only notice Charmine’s flaming-red outfit.Her pale colors automatically made her fade into the background, and it looked as if she was Charmine’s supporting prop.It did not help Tiffany’s case that Charmine was leaning onto her as Tiffany looked into the camera with a smile, clutching on to the flamingo’s neck. Somehow, she managed to look like a dutiful and diligent coffee table—a mere prop. The other interpretation to the photograph was that she looked like Charmine’s slave or servant girl as she made way for Charmine.Nevertheless, other than the fact that Tiffany somehow became a supporting cast, it was a perfect photograph.“No need for a second shot,” assured the photographer. “it's great! You ca
Everyone in the room was shocked, especially Peter.His camera was worth millions, and it stored a whole day’s worth of hard work!He kneeled on the floor and cradled his broken camera with trembling hands.Though there was a small cut on Tiffany’s forehead, it did not matter to her. Immediately, she hung her head low and continuously blurted, “I’m so sorry! I didn’t mean it…! I really didn’t mean it! Let me know how much this camera cost, and I’ll compensate for it no matter the cost!”“How can you compensate me?! The camera contains all the footage from everyone’s hard work today!”It was the first time Peter got angry at a beautiful lady, and the first time he felt like hitting a woman.As her eyes turned glossy, Tiffany kept bowing at everyone around her, apologizing again and again. “I’m so sorry! My manager didn’t see where she was going... It’s all our fault. I’ll compensate for your camera, your photos, and even your advertising fees. I’ll even compensate for your salarie
Was it repairable? How could an SD card snapped in two even work?Tiffany’s brows were raised, and she instantly chased after Charmine. “Charmine, don’t fool around. How can this SD card be repaired? Even if God is real, God can’t do anything about this. Just give it to me; I’ll buy a new one for Peter tomorrow.”“Just because God can’t do it doesn’t mean I can’t. Now, get out of my way!”Charmine shoved Tiffany away from her and walked toward the computer. She took a seat in front of the computer to invert the chip. She spliced it and fixed it. At that moment, her fair and slender arms looked agile and beautiful.Peter had already noticed Charmine’s beautiful arms during the shoot, and seeing her in action improved his mood. Even if the SD card could not be salvaged, he knew he would get a good shot of Charmine during the reshoot.Charmine remained focused as everyone stared at her with bated breath. No one dared to interrupt her as they waited expectantly. Only Tiffany’s breat
The approaching man was actually Julian’s assistant, Oliver. It appeared Julian had resolved to marry Charmine.‘As long as Charmine married him… Well, any married woman would find it difficult to be a model, what more if she’s pregnant…’ Tiffany mused to herself, and her mood improved right after.“Are these roses for Charmine? Better be nice to her,” reminded Tiffany. “Yes.” Oliver lowered his head, but it was clear he was riddled with questions. He thought that Chairman Julian was supposed to be dating Tiffany. Why was he pursuing Charmine now? Why was Tiffany not jealous but seemed supportive instead?He knew he was in no place to ask these questions; he was only here to deliver flowers.Not far away, a black luxury car was parked at the side. Anthony was sitting in the backseat with 99 red angel’s trumpets. There was a card on top of the bouquet, and it read, [You are so beautiful.]Anxious, Anthony asked, “You think Charmine will like these? Flowers will work for her, righ
Oliver felt an uneasy feeling stirred at the pit of his belly; he could not understand why he felt this way. Suddenly, Charmine raised her long leg swiftly, and with a sweeping kick, the sound of something crumpling could be heard. Just like that, the once fresh and vibrant angel trumpets were crushed by her force. As they laid on the ground, only bare stalks devoid of flowers were left in the bouquet Oliver was still holding onto. “If we’re done here, you should scram!” Charmine snapped at the still-rooted Oliver.Charmine used to be soft and docile. When did she become so wild and willful? She was too much of a savage!Chris, who was sitting in the car, gleefully clapped as he chirped, “Mommy is so beautiful! That’s how you do it! Daddy, you should hurry up and pursue Mommy. You still have a chance! Hurry up and win her over! You can’t let the other guy steal her!” Anthony appeared to ponder the boy’s words. ‘Pursue her? How do I do that? With Charmine’s personality, it was ver
