"Mr. Cohen, Unique Beauty Company has already confirmed the model candidates.”
"You Call the shots."
Blaze loosened his tie and wondered, ‘Astrid is really a piece of work. What else is she capable of? I'm amazed every time when I see her”
"Mr. Cohen, the Unique Beauty Company wanted you to be the male model. They believe you are the only one that can be paired with Miss Graves." "That's a bold move of Kevin's."
"Do you want me to say no to them, Mr. Cohen?"
“Tell them I said yes, and release the news immediately.”
Astrid would never agree to work with him, but Blaze was curious about her reaction when she found out about it. That thought amused Blaze. He smiled disdainfully.
Milo saw Blaze’s face through the rearview mirror and instantly understood his boss's intention. Milo thought Astrid would be pissed.Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Blaze would finally win for a change.
How complacent he was
In the meantime, Kevin was at the Peak Villa.
"Honey, I brought the wine for you. Why aren't you drinking it?”
"I don't feel like drinking. It's quite late now. What are you doing here?”
Astrid was almost an alcoholic, and she always did crazy stuff after being drunk. That was why she ended up with Blaze the night before they divorced, which caused a lot of trouble for her.
She regretted it a lot.
Wine would only remind her of what she had done before.
"I need your favor."
Kevin rarely behaved seriously like this. He felt guilty.
“It must be something serious."
Astrid poured herself a glass of juice and sat beside Kevin.
"We couldn't find a perfect model to fit the theme of our latest season. Our people watched your show and believed you could be our model." "Me?"
Astrid frowned slightly.
"I know you feel uncomfortable showing your face in public, honey.”
Kevin had negotiated with Gali Company for a long time in the past two days, but the latter was very insistent. Although he felt bad, he had to bite the bullet and talk to Astrid tonight.
"Do you want me to go?”
"Will you do it, honey?"
From Kevin's lightened eyes, Astrid could telkthat it meant a great deal to Kevin: “This was his first project after relurning to the homeland. He had-been in charge of overseas markets before. -
"I'll do it if you want me to, but I am not a professional model." Kevin was the youngest of the Williams family, and his mother used to be his father’s nurse.
Although the Williams family acknowledged him ten years ago, his other five siblings had always looked down on him. They mocked him as a bastard
“Astrid, there is one more thing. Blaze will be your partner model..."
Kevin was against the proposal in the first t place. However, his staff photoshopped a photo of Astrid and Blaze: standing together. He was surptised that they could make such a great couple. -
"What did you say, Kevin? I can't believe you will ask Astrid to work with that devil!"
Eddy was worried and was about to tell Kevin that Blaze was Astrid's ex-husband, but Astrid stopped him with a look.
“What did Blaze say?"
Astrid knew she would never get rid of Blaze. Even after the divorce, she would still have to see him often.
So annoying!
"Mr. Cohen said yes. and Gali Company has already officially announced it on Twitter."
Kevin put down his phone. He was also shocked to find out about the news. Blaze usually laid a low profile and rarely accepted any interviews It was hard to believe such a man could actually agree to be photographed in an advertisement.
What were the odds?
"I'm sorry, honey. It was my idea, actually. I wanted to force Gali Company to back down, but I didn't expect it to end like this.”
Astrid remained calm on the surface, but she hated Blaze to the guts in her heart. She knew that man must have done it on purpose. He was taking revenge on her and did it without informing her. She wouldn't even have the chance to refuse.
"It has nothing to do with you.”
Blaze was a powerful man. He could think of thousands of ways to get what he wanted.
“Perhaps I can speak to him."
Kevin could tell Astrid wasn't happy about it.
"Kevin, you just returned and need this opportunity. I will help you. I'll shoot the photos. It's not a big deal.”
The more Blaze wanted to embarrass her, the more she had to handle it calmly.
“Thank you, honey."
This campaign would serve asa stepping:stone for Kevin. He needed it to establish fame and gainac> foottrold in the domestic market. Thérefore, he would owe Astrid big.
“When will we shoot the photos?"
“We will do it in a top-class studio of Rock Group's headquarters in the afternoon of the day after tomorrow.” “I'll be there on time.”
After Kevin left, Astrid stood by the window holding the juice, feeling gloomy.
Eddy didnt dare to speak a thing. It had been a long time since he had seen Astrid like this.
