Chereads / The Senator's Wife / Chapter 53 - Striking a Deal

Chapter 53 - Striking a Deal

Magnus and his assistant secure the camera stand on the uneven ground. While Rosa waits for them to set up, she closes her eyes. She lets the fresh air fills her lungs and lets the air out, doing it several times to help her relax. Then, she looks around standing on top of a hill.

She is glad that Magnus is the photographer today. They already formed a good rapport doing photo shoots together in so many projects. All of this because of Brie's doing.

Magnus apologizes, "Alright, Rosa, sorry to keep you waiting." He beams at Rosa and tells her. "Are you ready? Just move and pose as long as you are comfortable with it."

Rosa nods her head and gets into the mood in seconds.

Magnus exclaims, "That's great, Rosa. Hold on to that position for a while. Tilt your head upward a little."

Rosa is about to turn her body to the other side but changes her mind. The view displeases her. She moves to another position with her eyes focusing at a tree from afar.

A distance from the shoot Brie observes the shoot while Hermes sits at the other chair beside her.

Hermes tries to break the silence, "Rosa is really good at what she does."

Brie looks at the man. She keeps mum returning her eyes to the shoot.

Hermes inquires, "You're her manager right?"

Brie responds without looking at him, "Hmmn."

"I need a favor from you," the young tycoon tells her."

She looks back at him. Hermes continues, "Help me in wooing Rosa."

Brie speaks, "What benefits would I get from it?"

Hermes' eyes brighten up. He thought he needs to put a lot of effort to convince Brie. Hermes considers for a moment. "How about a villa by the beach?"

Brie sounds him off, "What if Rosa did not really return your affection despite me helping you?"

Hermes assures her, "Whatever Rosa's decision will be, the villa is yours as long as you help me."

Brie extends her right hand to him. "Deal," she shakes his hand, her eyes glinting paired with a big smile on her face.

"Mr. Marco, the best thing to do right now is to order lunch for us. Get for Rosa broiled salmon, quinoa-mango salad, and strawberry dessert from this shop," she instructs.

Hermes calls his head security to send someone to get lunch for all the crew.

Brie adds, "Oh, also get me a grande macha frappe, please. Thank you."

Hermes just smiles and nods to his men. He turns his head seeing Rosa walking down the hill. He hurriedly stands up and run to give Rosa support going down. Rosa did not stop her steps even though Hermes puts his hand out to guide her down. She goes straight to the costume area to change.

Hermes walks back to his seat with his hands in his pockets. He sighs when he sits down.

Brie taps his shoulder to comfort him. She tells him, "Don't worry. You just need to try harder."
