In the next morning….
Arissa was dressed up and finally, came out of her room when she found Cristan had sitting nicely on the sofa while playing a game on his cell phone. His casual looks were simple as always. But for some reason, his appearance is getting more and more attractive in Arissa's eyes. He also looks much better now. Neat and tidy. His beard and mustache have shaven. His half-long hair was tied back. Featuring his scripture symmetrical jawline as if it had been carved directly by God.
Lord!! Why this one is so damn beautiful??
Irresistible!!
Unexpectedly, her heart started to pound violently inside her rib chest and heat radiates into her cheeks.
Shit! What is wrong with me? Arissa shrieked out loud inwardly but she couldn't stop moving her eyes at him at all.
"Are you ready?" Cristan asked her in a casual tone, as usual, stared back at her. Only to realize that she has been staring at him for such a long time. Her face even has turned like a ripened tomato by now. Arissa quickly turned her head away and cleared her throat.
"I'm ready. Are we going now? "
Cristan nodded and immediately rose from the sofa.
"Ok, let me call a cab for us," Arissa said as she took out her cell phone from her bag.
"It's unnecessary ..." replied Cristan.
"I've prepared a car for us."
Cristan pulled out and showed the car key that he had been holding while he started to walk and opened the door politely for Arissa.
"Ladies first ..."
He smirked amusedly at her and stretched his hand out.
Arissa was startled by his awkward attitude but then, once she walked out, she gasped loudly and her eyes widened in disbelief…
Right in front of her, a white Maserati was parked beautifully. Waiting patiently to be a ride-on. Arissa has always been able to only see and dream of her dream car in a wall calendar. But now, the car is right in front of her!
"This…this… is…"
She flabbergasted and utterly speechless.
"Do you like it?" Cristan asked casually at her while he pushed the button and the door automatically lifted up.
"Isn't that too much, Cristan?" Arissa asked reluctantly. She was unlikely familiar with this luxury.
"You are one of the top-notch models at Fashion Blast. You should drive a car like this and I, as your new manager, will make sure that you will always get the best facilities .. "
Cristan said lightly as he motioned Arissa to enter the car while he sitting next to her in the driver's seat.
A deep curve appeared on Arissa's lips once again. Cristan stared at her and feel satisfied with himself while he turned on the engine. Luckily, last night, he had called Jade to arrange transportation for them both this morning. Jade's choice, thankfully, suited hers and his. Both's taste.
Shortly after, they arrived at Fashion Blast's head office.
........................…
Firstly, they have to meet with Robert Ferra and inform him about the new arrangement for sure. Jojo had told him that he already waiting for them in the CEO's room with Robert when Arissa and Cristan finally entered the room and sat down. Arissa also had changed into her alter ego as "Snow".
Robert shook their hands formally and pleased them to sit while his eyes keep observing the three people who are sitting in front of him amusedly. He looks friendly and seems relaxed but Jojo, who has been working with him for years, knows well his true color. He's ambitious, cunning, and exceptionally vicious. Especially when it comes to an employment contract for the artists and models under the company's management. He never played around in determining the number of penalties that they must pay if they violate or revoke the contract. If a model or artist has great potential to become a top-notch, Robert will surely "squeeze" their energy and time until their "golden period" ends and immediately replace them with a new face. Not to mention, sometimes the amount of their pay also gets cut off with some unknown excuses.
Cristan is holding the "Snow" contract in his hand and immediately gave it to Robert with an indifferent attitude. Previously, Jojo had explained that would be rearrangement for Snow's manager, and starting from today, it will be fully handled by Cristan due to his full-time job as a senior stylist which can't be irreplaceable.
"My name is Cristan Lewis and immediately, I would be fully in charge as Snow's manager. I've already got the schedule for the "Snow" activities for the next weeks and have read the previous draft of the "Snow" contract. Unfortunately, there are some points which I strongly disagree and I want to change them… " Cristan said straightforwardly with his indifferent look
Robert's eyes suddenly narrowed and as he leaned forward, he asked with artificial friendliness.
"Really? I didn't know that. May I know which clausal that I have to change? Unfortunately, Snow has signed it already before. So, I think your little request is a bit difficult for me to fulfill. "
Cristan smiled broadly and opened the last sheet of the contract, which significantly there are signatures of Snow, Robert, and Jojo.
"Is it true? For your attention, Robert. Snow's current manager is no longer Jojo but me, Cristan Lewis. So, in my opinion, this contract is not valid at all ... "
Robert smiled but inwardly, he gulped hard nervously. Shit! He never thinks this kid is quite brainy for finding a small loop like that!
And based on his exquisite style, it seemed that the young man was good enough to deal with stuff like this. Unfortunately, there is a rushing demand for vendors to use "Snow" as their muse, and beauty's ambassador is incredibly high lately that Robert can't do anything except accepting the new arrangements that Cristan would offer.
Besides ...
Subconsciously, Robert glanced at Snow's leg which exposed right before his eyes. Those pair of legs are smooth and white as jade, made him spontaneously imagining things. How does her body look like once he has the opportunity to strip Snow under him on the bed later? Hmm….
Arissa was fully aware of Robert's lecherous look towards her and it makes her highly uncomfortable, but she believes in Cristan. Because of him, Arissa was tried hard to maintain her expressionless facial even though in her heart, she was already sick and fed up with his gaze.
Cristan realized this and shortly after, he marked several clauses in the old contract letter and wrote down a few sentences then immediately hand it over to Robert.
"Please read it first, Robert. Let me know if there are a few things that need to be discussed afterward… "
Robert's eyes immediately shifted to the old contract letter that Cristan had scratched and he reread it very carefully. Apart from reducing work hours, Cristan also asked that transportation and personal makeup equipment be fully handled by him. Including all clothes and personal assistants that would stay beside her, everything must be carefully picked and sorted by him.
Robert let out a wry smile to himself when he read some changes to the contract. "Snow" will only be contracted for 4 months with working hours not exceeding 5 hours per day. Very different from other models who have to work at least 12 hours per day under his condition. "Snow" considerably is a rookie so she has more benefits than other senior models. Even though Robert has some disapprovals, he has devised a strategy in his heart to make "Snow" a top-notch model under Fashion Blast's wing.
"Ok, as the time being, I agree. Is there any other inquiries? " asked Robert politely. His eyes are shining wickedly and his smile didn't reach his eyes but Cristan doesn't care. What important for him is…
Once the new contract was made and signed, the three of them can relax.
Soon, Robert called his assistant and told him to write a new contract while he and Jojo chatted briefly about the activities that would be done that day. After about 10 minutes, the new contract was prepared and delivered to the room by the same assistant.
Cristan read the new contract carefully, nodded, and immediately signed it. Altogether with "Snow" and Robert. Shortly after, Jojo, Snow, and Cristan rose from their seats and left the room.
...............…
Robert massaged his temple. Cristan's presence was a bit weird but somewhat, is quite familiar to him. He felt that he had met this man before.
But where?
Soon after, the cupboard at his back shifted and revealing a secret chamber behind her. Linfey was standing there while she leaning against the door and folded both of her arms on the chest. Her curves were perfectly clad in the latest lingerie that showed her stunning beauty. Slowly, Linfey approached Robert from behind, draped her hands around his neck, and slightly bit his earlobe.
"Is it done?" She asked him in a raspy voice.
Robert nodded and left a message to his secretary to not be disturbed for the next 2 hours. Instantly, the two of them were lost in lust and making out intensely while Robert pressed the secret button and carry her in his arms. Soon, the cupboard at their back was shifted back to its original position. Leaving the office as empty as if nothing had happened before.
