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 nce!”


    Missus B 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, youngdy, 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 B.”


    Missus B 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 appearance 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’spany,


    and I have no ns to change jobs at the moment.”


    Missus B 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 yourpany 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 B 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 hispany’s employee! Your name’s Corinne, right? Leave your number with


    me and I’ll contact youter.”


    There was nothing Lucas could say as he still had to show some courtesy to his aunt. Corinne took the


    cell phone that Missus B handed over and saved her cell phone number in the contact list.

    Missus B looked at Corinne in satisfaction and grew even fonder of the youngdy 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’splexion soured and she felt as if she had witnessed an extreme injustice


    when Corinne gained Missus B’s appreciation without any effort.


    Missus B 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 B 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’spany 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!”


    Missus B 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 the 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 thepetition due to


    health reasons, she would’ve been crowned Miss World that year!”


    “So what if she’s crowned Miss World?”


    Missus B nced 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 shecks 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


    Anyacks. There is no need for her to push herself either. She should just stay at home and take good


    care of her health.”
