Kelly was so shocked that she became as still as a statue. She had never expected that answer. She was a globally renowned supermodel. Anthony did not show her the respect that she was due and instead went ahead to hire Charmine, the rookie model! How was she going to show her face in public after this debacle?
Kelly lifted her head and said, “Mr. Bailey, since you’re not giving me any logical explanation, I quit!”
She quit! The implication of this meant that the Auto Show was one model short! How could they find a replacement in such a short period of time? Mr. Dalmore anxiously tried to repair the situation by saying, “Mr. Bailey and Miss Milan, I’m sure we can resolve this issue if we just sat down to discuss it calmly.”
Charmine who was sat at her dresser frowned at the scene. How did the issue get so out of hand? She wanted to speak up but before she had the chance to, Anthony had already picked u p his cellphone and gave the order, “You have twenty minutes to find a model to replace Kelly Milan!”,
Everyone there could not believe their ears! Kelly was the most famous supermodel in the industry, idolized by legions of male fans! Kelly’s face paled in an instant. How could she forget that she was speaking to Anthony Bailey of the Bailey Corporation? Anthony was an extremely powerful public figure and there was not a single person who could go up against him and win! She had just threatened Anthony Bailey… This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
Kelly’s agent hurriedly rushed ahead to apologize uneasily, saying, “Mr, Bailey, do forgive our Kelly for overstepping her boundaries. She’s always been quick-tempered and very direct with her speech. However, she never has any ill intentions. She was overly excited when she joked with you before. I know that you’re a generous man who doesn’t hold petty grudges, s o could you forgive her for her mistake just this once?” As he said this, he discreetly tapped Kelly’s arm.
Kelly was extremely frustrated! She wanted to turn around and leave right away. However, the modeling job commission was extremely lucrative and she had already received the booking fee. If she really left, she would be forced to return that huge sum of money!
Furthermore, this was still an extremely prestigious luxury brand Auto Show, so numerous famous people would be in attendance. How could she be absent from this event? If she left now in such an embarrassing manner, she would be the joke of the century! Hence, she clenched her fists together and lowered her head as she said, “I’m sorry, Mr. Bailey. I made a mistake.”,
Kelly thought to herself, ‘l’ll swallow my pride for now and perform well at the Auto Show. All my fans will support me and abuse Charmine on my behalf for stealing my rightful place!
However, Anthony responded by saying, “I cannot sense any sincerity in your apology.”
Sincerity? She had already bowed her head down and admitted her mistake. He was still demanding she appear more sincere i n her apology? Kelly was about to explode with anger. She had never been so humiliated in her life!
Her agent could see that she was barely able to control her anger and rushed in to help her, saying to Anthony, “Mr. Bailey, we‘re truly sorry for our misstep. We know that we’re a t fault here. As a token of our sincere regret, we’ll only accept 9 0% of the modeling fee and ensure that you’ll be satisfied with the rest of our performance here at the Auto Show!”
“Make sure there are no repeats of this nonsense,” Anthony said imposingly. He no longer had any interest in continuing t o deal with them. Anthony in Charmine’s direction, drawing closer to her step by step. ‘
Charmine could not believe her eyes. “This man! What on earth is he planning? He’s just placed a target on my back and stirred up a lot of hate toward me. What’s he doing by walking up to me?”
