Chapter 101
Alicia felt really touched as it was her first time hearing someone voluntarily lending her money. She smiled and did not deny it.
"Victoria, thank you. I am desperate, but I am not dirt poor! If I had a friend who kept borrowing money from me, I would certainly stay away from her as far as possible! If you really want to help me, you can consider hiring me whenever you have any part-time jobs in the future! If I really need your help, I will ask! Let me treat you to this meal as a sign of my gratitude!"
"You are doing it again!" Victoria waved her hand.
Victoria then said, "You are so poor that you can't even eat good food anymore, yet you still want to pay for me! Let's not argue about paying the bill! I have sent you Manager Simpson's number!"
Initially, Victoria wanted to ask why Alicia did not ask her "Bentley" uncle for money. However, after Alicia spoke, Victoria felt that it was right for her to not ask that question. Even though Alicia had been defeated in life, she was still a proud woman!
Victoria admired this side of Alicia! Had she been in Alicia's shoes, she would probably be more than willing to work hard than to ask people for food either!
After replying to some messages, Victoria continued speaking.
"The job in the afternoon is a famous car show. It is quite high-end too. Normally, everybody would get up late on weekends. Hence, the show starts after lunchtime. The event starts after 2, and it may last all the way until around 8 or 9 o'clock. If there aren't too many people, we may end it earlier. They wanted to hire a foreign supermodel, but due to unexpected reasons, it was botched. After arranging everything, they thought of finding a replacement! Hence, their requirements are not really high!"
"Normally, the rate is 2,000 dollars an hour. If the car on the platform can be sold, you will be rewarded one thousand dollars per car! I have asked about the details for you. If you can work until 8 o'clock, 20,000 dollars should not be a problem! We will pay you on the spot! However, you need to wear a pair of high heels that are almost ten centimeters high, and that you should be able to stand for a whole day! Are you sure you can handle it? Are you sure it is alright?"
"No problem! I'm taking a break today anyway, and I don't have anything to do in the afternoon too!" Alicia said.
If she could earn up to 20,000 dollars just by standing for an afternoon, then she wouldn't mind standing until she died. This would really help her a lot.
Victoria said, "You are tasked to stand on a Ferrari platform. Other people will be responsible for those common colored Ferrari's like red, yellow or blue ones. I have asked him to let you stand on an average car. Although there is no shortage of rich people here, it will still not be easy for you to sell a sports car worth over a million dollars! Safety is our priority, thus, let's just forget about that money! You can stand in a spot for an afternoon and rest when you are tired. You don't have to work so hard. What do you think? Would you rather be with a white car or a black car? I'll let him arrange your spot..."
"I'll choose the black car then! To keep a low profile!"
"Okay! Then, I'll accompany you there in the afternoon... Later, I have to go to the processing factory. Otherwise, I might stay and support you!" Victoria said.
"You should attend to your matters! I can handle it!" Alicia said. What kind of job had she not done in these past three years?
Their eyes met, and the two of them decided on it with a tacit understanding!
In the afternoon, Victoria personally sent Alicia there. After Alicia finished preparing, Victoria accompanied her for a while before she left.
Alicia prepared her own shoes. She chose black colored high-heels to match the black sports car which she was responsible for. The company required her, a car model, to dress more 'revealingly'. She had to expose parts of her body. As for which part of her body she exposed, it depended on the model herself. They had no preferences on the style.
The number of clothes the company prepared for her to choose from was enough for two whole football teams.
She was not responsible for the main sports cars. Although she was only responsible for the black sports car, Alicia felt that she should not be too irresponsible. She decided on a relatively conservative style of clothes. She knew she had to choose an outfit that was more brightly colored.
In the end, she chose a short red halter neck dress, which was body-hugging. The key point was that it covered her chest. Apart from being a little shorter than usual, there were no flaws with it.
She remembered that she had worn a pair of safety knickers and she only had to stand for an afternoon. That was why she thought that this was the most suitable outfit for her.
Alicia's makeup was not that heavy as required by the company. She only put on bright red lipstick which made her look very alluring. She curled some parts of her hair and let them sit on one of her shoulders. Then, she showed the other shoulder. After she had confirmed that she was dressed decently, she went out.
The main platform with a red Ferrari was occupied with a hot and sexy girl dressed in a white evening dress. She had the looks of an angel but the attractive body of a supermodel. She matched her clothes with red and white. It was a low-cut dress with a high slit that revealed her leg. She looked absolutely tall and gorgeous.
Every model went to their respective cars on stage.
It was half- past two when the event started. At noon, there weren't many visitors yet. Since it was a world-class car exhibition, the number of visitors was even lesser than expected. Apart from the uncomfortable feeling of standing for a long time, she felt that the afternoon had passed by quite smoothly.
It was getting dark. She did not know since when, but suddenly, the exhibition hall was filled with people. She could not even hear the music due to the large crowd. From time to time, there would be various exhibition hosts shouting, and all kinds of activities were held to attract visitors.
Since there were a lot of people, the models subconsciously perked up their senses. Alicia put on her most beautiful smile as people began to walk towards the cars. Some posed and allowed the public to take photos.
She heard lots of footsteps walking past her. Then, it was followed by plenty of flashing lights of cameras. Alicia could hardly open her eyes.
"Why is this car so popular all of a sudden? Am I going to make the headlines again? If so, wouldn't I be in big trouble?" She could not help but mutter in her heart.
After turning around, she remained smiling only to find that the host had arrived at her car.
"Everyone, 488GTB is a classic car from our company. The design of the front of the car looks similar to the Fl racing cars. Hence, it has a lower wind resistance factor. The car has a sharp outline, and the rear of the car has a new function..."
As the host explained, there were also professional ushers on one side pointing out the mentioned features. Alicia also occasionally opened the door and pointed at the car. She smiled and posed. She cooperated very professionally. A buzz could be heard from under the stage.Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
Seeing that her side was getting more and more crowded, Alicia was quite puzzled. "What's going on?"
Wasn't the car she was responsible for, a model that was two years old? Wasn't the Laferrari of the 488 series the main product of the event? Even the Spider model was more advanced than hers. Wasn't her model the cheapest and the oldest?
Could it be that even the richest of men were interested in cheap cars too?
Why were they all gathered here?
She could not figure it out. However, at the thought that she could get more commission if she sold a few more cars, she grabbed the chance. In an instant, Alicia's smile became more charming. She was generous and posed for the cameras. At this time, a rough male voice was heard.
"Are they giving us the model for free after buying the car? Is this for real?"
