Chapter 36 Human Sentiment
Facing the crowd is shock, Hazri stayed cool and explained her design idea without a hitch.
She wrapped it up with. Thanks to the design team for all your hard work lately, Ms. Blanca Axdur has been burning the midnight oil on the drawings. Finance, make sure la plan next month’s salaries carefully. Each design team member gets an extra $2,000, and Mr. Bianca Astor will yet a $20,000 bomis.”
The design teams and Bianca were suddenly in the spotlight, and with such a hig reward, everyone was totally confused since they hadn’t been part of this design project. The other execs picked up on the wrind vibe and looked pretty annoyed
They had all agreed to keep Hazell out of the loop, but now the design team was working with her, letting her mome up
e up with such a high end piece.
“If no one has any chestions, we’ll start mass production next quarter as planned, Hazel said, then turned to flianca, “Bianca, come to my office later.”
She left the conference room with Xander, leaving Bianca and the other esees staring at each other.
knew what was said in the end, but shen Bianca walked into Hazel’s office, she looked pretty grim
Hazel, you wanted to see me? Bianca asked, trying to be respectful, still unsure of Hazel’s intentions.
just wanted to talk about our current spokesperson. They don’t fit our brand anymore and need to be replaced,” Hazel said.
“Replace the spokesperson?” Bianca was shocked. Isla Lasion was her pick and had been the brand ambassador for four years,
“Yeah, I noticed the curent spokesperson’s contract is up next month,” Hazel continued.
stas fee isn’t high, she’s very cooperative, and be image is positive. I don’t see why we need in replace her, Bianca explained.
“But I think she lacks distinctiveness and isnt fashionable enough to stand out, Harel.commented
Bianca frowned: “Do you have someone in mind?”
“Allegra,” Hazel said.
“Allegra?” Bianca was excited. “‘She’s a top star in the entertainment industry. For a brand like ours, she might not even consider it, and her fee is sky–high. Im not sure we can afford her.”
Dont worry about the fee. Just tell me what you think of her,” Hazel said, losing patiener
It was true that Allegra was a big deal in the fashion world and often set trends, Getting her endorsement would be a huge boost for the Galaxy Group.
If you think she’s the right choice, then she must be great in all aspects,” Bianca agreed, though she secretly doubted Hazel could land Allegr
“Got it. You can go back to work, Hazel nodded
Bianca felt puzzled. Hazel was acting different today. She wanted to ask about the design draft but didn’t have the nerve.
The design draft wasn’t up to the Galaxy Group’s usual standards. If it got out that she did it, she might gain some time in the fashion world. But she worried it might be a trap, so she decided to wait and see.
“Bianca, wait,” Hazel called out as she was about to leave.
“What’s up?” Bianca stopped.
“What we talked about today, keep it under wraps for now. Don’t announce anything until it’s confirmed,” Hazel regarsted.
fuahca was nomentarily taken aback but quickly got the hint. “Don 1 worry, Hazel. I know how to handle these things.”
Hazel had called Bianca In the office on purpose. She knew someone would spill the beans soon. Seeing Hazel and Bianca’s close
the execs would rethink theu previous actions, which was exactly what Hazel wanted.
nging the spokesperson was legit. She believed the brand needed a major upgrade to stay competiine
Despite those nasty photos, much news didn t faze her career. Hazal was always calm and collected.
then dialed a somewhat unfamiliar number. Soon, a man’s deep voice answered. “Hello, Ms. Aster
Mr. Örsins, sorry to bother you. I need a favor, Hazel said.
Lucius had taken her to the hospital and covered her medical bills, so they had exchanged numbers. Though it had been a while, she called with hope
“Go ahead.” Lucius replied, still gentle and approachable
Even though they hadnt interacted much, he made Hazel feel at ease-
“I heard Ms. Guise is filming with your crew. I want to invite her to be our spokesperson, but we haven’t had any contact. Could you introduce us? Hazel asked directly
silent, surprising Herel. It was just a matter of passing a message, so why the hesitation?
dent, thats okay.” Hazal added.
small matter, Lucius replied. “But why ask me instead of someone else?!
After all, if it were
were George, not only would he introduce her, bur Allegra might even endorse for free
In my vies, Mr. Orsini is the best choice, Hazel said confidently
Lucios didn’t fuse but didn’t immediately agree either. “I need to check her filming schedule first. I’ll get back to you.
Thank you. Mr. Orsini. Harel felt a hit relieved.
“You’re welcome,” Lucius replied.
After hanging up, he sat in front of the monitor. It was a break between scenes.
Show me Allegra’s recent filming schedule, Lucius said to bis Beistant.
Yes. Ms. Ors
He carefully recursed the schedule and then walked to a corner.
He called George, “George.”
“YeahTM George responded.
Hazelt called me, Lucius said directly
George was noticeably silent.
Locias emiled slightly. She asked me to set up a meeting with Allege to discuss an endorsement.”
Really? George was surprised.
I agreed. If time permits, arrange it for today.” Lucius added
The show had just started, so the filming schedule win 100 tight.
“Are you close with her George’s cold voice came through, clearly annoyed.
We’ve only met a few times.” Luctus laughed. “Just giving you a beadi–up. I have my work to do.‘
Before he emuld finish. call abruptly ended.
ind again, thinking Gratge wat predictably petty
I prepared to tetum to hit spot, only to see Allegia standing there.
