Chapter 496
Corinne smiled and replied, “Yes, Ma’am. I can tell that you know a lot about fashion if you could immediately
identify the clothing brand at first glance!”
Missus Benet maintained her graceful and unsmiling expression. “I was present at the fashion show where Comi
first introduced this dress to their lineup, and it left quite a strong impression on me. You have very good taste,
young lady, and this dress looks amazing on you. I’d even go so far as to say that it looks much better on you than
on the models.”
Corinne did not show any awkwardness after being praised and smiled heartily. “Thank you for the compliment,
Missus Benet.”
Missus Benet had much admiration for the way Corinne carried herself. She scanned Corinne. again, then finally
looked into the young woman’s eyes as she offered, “My name is Mindy, and I’m the editor-in-chief of the weekly
magazine ‘Fashion Pyramid’. Would you be interested in modeling for the pages of our magazine?”
Corinne’s height was 168 centimeters. Although she was not tall, her figure had good proportions, and her
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtappearance was even more desirable in the industry due to her delicate yet energetic-looking facial features.
However, she politely declined and said, “I’m sorry, Ma’am. I’ve just joined Mister Lucas’s company, and I have no
plans to change jobs at the moment.”
Missus Benet had a somewhat pitiful expression in her eyes. “It’s a shame for such a beautiful young lady to work
as a secretary.”
Corinne smiled slightly in return. “It’s such a great honor to receive your admiration, and although I won’t switch
jobs, I can always help out after-hours if your company requires me for a photo shoot.”
She then looked at her boss Lucas in a very respectful manner and asked for permission. “1 should be able to work
part-time after-hours, right?”
Before Lucas could say anything, Missus Benet acted in her capacity as Lucas’s elder and said, You don’t need to
ask him. He wouldn’t dare to refuse. He has no reason to say no when his aunt is just borrowing the help of his
company’s employee! Your name’s Corinne, right? Leave your number with me and I’ll contact you later.”
There was nothing Lucas could say as he still had to show some courtesy to his aunt. Corinne took the cell phone
that Missus Benet handed over and saved her cell phone number in the contact list.
Missus Benet looked at Corinne in satisfaction and grew even fonder of the young lady with every passing look. She
had the feeling that Corinne was very familiar to her, but she could not seem to figure out why that was so.
Beside them, Rosie’s complexion soured and she felt as if she had witnessed an extreme injustice when Corinne
gained Missus Benet’s appreciation without any effort.
Missus Benet was the editor-in-chief of an internationally renowned fashion magazine, and she was known to those
within the industry as the ‘She-Devil of Fashion’. In the past, the only people who could make an appearance in
Fashion Pyramid were either global superstars or powerful people.
A country bumpkin like Corinne could never be worthy of modeling for the pages of Fashion Pyramid, and Rosie
could not fathom at all what Missus Benet saw in her.
At that moment, Anya stepped forward and said with a sweet smile, “Why didn’t you tell me that your company
needed a model? I have plenty of time since I returned to the country, so I’m happy to help you if you ever need a
model.
“Lucas’s company is pretty busy all the time, so there’s no need for you to burden his secretary. Corinne will
probably be too busy to work as a part-time model!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMissus Benet had an aloof and cold expression as she looked at her well-behaved and sensible niece. “It’s not that I
don’t want you to be our models, but your appearance and temperament don’t fit thxo.com fast updatee style
and target audience of Fashion Pyramid.”
The smile on Anya’s face froze, and she nodded with a slightly hurt expression. “Okay. I guess I thought too highly
of myself, thinking that I could be of help to you…”
Rosie could not bear to see her best friend being looked down upon, so she stood up for Anya and said, “Isn’t Anya
beautiful enough? Did you forget that she participated in the Miss World beauty pageant before and even made it
to the finals? Had she not withdrawn from the competition due to health reasons, she would’ve been crowned Miss
World that year!”
“So what if she’s crowned Miss World?”
Missus Benet glanced insipidly at Rosie and then turned to look at Anya. Her sharp eyes seemed to express her
disappointment that there was nothing about Anya that could be appreciated.
“Anya is beautiful, but she lacks a certain carefree, easygoing, and confident temperament. She doesn’t strike
anyone as being ‘unforgettable’-a quality that I value greatly.
“Fashion Pyramid’s market position focuses on uniqueness, freedom, and distinctness- qualities that Anya lacks.
There is no need for her to push herself either. She should just stay at home and take good care of her health.”
