Edie was quite famous in the circle of photography. Sheās held a number of photography exhibitions. She donated all money earned from the exhibition to the charity. She enjoyed a great reputation at home and abroad.
Today Edie came here to photograph just to do the chief editor a favor. She didnāt ask for a high price. If it was her work today, Edie was indeed more expensive than Lexi.
But nature was different.
Lexi has been taking photos for many days. She got paid every day.
But Edieās work just required her several hours. They couldnāt be compared.
Chief editor said those words just to maintain Edieās self-respect, as a friend.
Edie also knew the chief editorās difficulty. She smiled and said, "Iāve made trouble for you today. But donāt worry, I would fix it. My work would make you satisfied. Relax."
"Okay, that is so great. Call me whenever you need anything. I should go now."
At the moment, the atmosphere at the shooting spot was really embarrassing.
Lexi didnāt know where to go. She didnāt even know whether she should leave or stay. At the moment, she suddenly thought she was such a useless person for them.
Seeing this, Carlos walked to her. He wanted to take it away to avoid more embarrassment.
However, when Lexi noticed the expression in Carlosās eyes, she was pissed off immediately. She thought Carlos was looking down upon her. She got rid of his hands and sat there firmly.
"I donāt believe they could really invite Nina here. I am really looking forward to the model they invited. Tell you, and you would definitely regret what youāve done to me today. I have given you a chance. You just gave it up just now."
Edie didnāt throw an eye on her. She walked to Stuart and pinched his arms, "Ivan was on vacation. Is it proper to ask him to do this? You are no longer the president of L.N. Are you still able to pay him?"
"Am I such a useless man in your mind?" Stuart squinted slightly. Deep in his eyes was a warm smile.
Though he was not smiling, he felt so sweet and happy at the bottom of the heart.
"What do you think? If Nina really comes here, I have to pay her a lot. I donāt have too much money to pay for her. I would go bankrupt."
"Donāt worry about this. All you need to do now is to boast in front of them. I would handle everything else. I promise you you would win this, perfectly."
Then, he kissed Edieās forehead slightly. All of a sudden, Edie was touched deeply.
She felt so warm at the bottom of the heart that she couldnāt help herself showing a sweet smile. But when she raised her head and saw lots of people looking towards them, she blushed immediately.
Edie pushed Stuart immediately, "Keep a low profile. It is a public place."
"You throw yourself into my arms."
Stuart said innocently.
"..."
As the minutes went by, everyone got more and more nervous. After one hour, everyone was staring at the entrance. But no one saw Nina.
Lexi was quite satisfied. She finally gave vent to her anger.
She couldnāt help herself laughing out, "See. It has been one hour. No one came. What are you going to explain about this?"
Helen didnāt know how to do, "Miss Lee, donāt go too far on this."
"Too far? Why are you still standing there? You need to come to beg me, donāt you think so? Do you really believe she could help you? Stop dreaming, okay? Look at yourself, what the hell do you think you are? Hurry up; otherwise, you would not be able to finish your task today."
Lexi kept ridiculing her. She forgot completely it was her that wasted the whole team lots of time.
Before Lexi finished her speech, she heard someone speaking in unacquainted English.
"Hi, everyone. I am Nina. The flight is late. I am late. I am sorry..."
Everyone looked towards the entrance of the studio immediately. They saw a mixed woman in a sequin silver dress with fur on her shoulder. She looked so elegant and gorgeous. Behind her was her team. Everyone looked tired. Apparently, they were in a hurry coming here.
Except for Stuart, everyone at present was familiar with this woman.
They saw her on the lead screen in all supermarkets, on the cover of Luxury magazines and lots of advertisements...
That face!
Nina!
The supermodel.
The first one recovering from the astonishment was Helen.
She walked to Nina immediately, made a bow, and spoke in a language in her country, "Hi, Miss Nina, I am..."
"Hi, I can speak English. You can talk to me in English," before Helen finished her sentence, Nina said in a kind tone, "I know you are in charge here. I want to talk to Mr. Yates for a few minutes. You can go to prepare. Iāve worn makeup. We can start later."
"..."
Helen froze. She looked at Ninaās back blankly. She felt everything happening at the moment was like a dream.
This was the supermodel. She was cooperating with her without making anything difficult for her.
God. Was she dreaming? Was she in her dream?
She pinched her arms hard to confirm whether all these were true. After the confirmation, she immediately started preparing.
Nina walked to Stuart. Everyone else here didnāt know about this man. But Nina was quite familiar with this man.
This was the man on the top of the world, with extreme wealth and power. Though he was no longer the president of the L.N group, he could still control the whole group.
Nina never expected she has such luck that Stuart invited her in person. Apparently, she could get lots of chances to cooperate with such a powerful group in the future. She was thrilled.
"Hi, Mr.Yates. I am Nina. Nice to meet you."
She stretched her hands. She was so excited that she already forgot that Stuart never touched other women.
Hearing her words, Stuart stood there still and said in a flat voice, "Thank you for your help."
Seeing this, Nina took her hands back in embarrassment.
It was such a great honor to hear "thank you" from Stuart. It
"Thank you, Mr. Yates. Thank you for giving me this chance. You must be Mrs. Yates, right? Really gorgeous. Mr. Yates really has an eye on beauty. Really gorgeous beauty," Nina was so generous of admiration.
Hearing her words, Edie flushed immediately. She didnāt expect even Nina, such a supermodel, to lie.
Edie 1.68 meter in height. She was not short, actually. But in front of Nina, she suddenly felt she was such a small girl.
Nina was 1.78 meters. Now she wore a pair of high heels. She was not 1.88 meters in height now. She was almost the same tall as Stuart.
Standing in the middle of them and leaning into Stuartās arms, Edie felt she was a dwarf.
Besides, Nina got famous at a young age. Many years ago, she was signed by the most famous Luxury cosmetics lo. And she took such good care of her beauty. Though she was already thirty years old, she looked just like a twenty-year-old girl. Besides, she has such an impressive face. Now she chinned up and cheated out. Edie could see her proud.
As proud as she was, Nina looked so friendly.
She looked so friendly and sincere, even when she praised others. She never made Edie feel comfortable.
Stuartās smile at the corner of his mouth could prove this.
"You are so sincere. If you need the groupās help, just contact Ivan. He would handle everything for you."
Since Nina was so sincere, Stuart certainly would return her with sincerity.
Hearing these words, Nina got so excited. She held Edieās hands and started praising her again, "Frankly speaking, you are the gorgeous girl Iāve ever seen. They tell me you are the photographer today. I really look forward to cooperating with you."
