Jack came to a Chinese restaurant. He used to work in this restaurant when he was chasing Mary, so he often went to this restaurant to eat because its food is good and cheap.
Just as Jack was about to order, he heard a girl nearby answering the phone emotionally:
"Gosh Linda, how can I have the money to get a Chanel haute couture, are you kidding me?
Wait, wait, wait, I can't give up this audition, it's a Netflix series!
Don't say you can't do anything, please help me! Hey, are you here? Hey!
Oh, fuck!"
The girl slammed the mobile phone on the table.
Jack turned his head. And then he found out that the girl is Catherine! Now, she is wearing a peaked cap and sunglasses, but her clothes were exactly what she was wearing in the moring.
"Hey, Catherine, is that you?"
"Oh, oh, hey, you are?" She looked flustered, but quickly smiled and took off her sunglasses.
"I'm Jack. Don't you remember me?"
"Oh, oh Jack, it's you! The boy who asked for my number! Nice to meet you. So you also like Chinese food?"
Jack didn't expect Catherine to be so enthusiastic. He thought that such beautiful girls were all indifferent.
"Yeah. So how are you doing? Sounds like you have some trouble…"
Jack tentatively asked.
"Emm, " Catherine hesitates with someone she doesn't know, "OK, yeah I'm in trouble."
But she's so angry now that it would be nice if anyone could listen to her.
"Hey, Jack, I… Oh, you can call Cathy by the way."
"Ok, Cathy. So what's going on?"
"Have you heard that I got a chance to star in a Netflix series?"
"Yeah, yeah, and many classmates are happy for you. So do I."
"Oh thank you, You are so sweet. And the series is about fashion. It tells a story of an American girl who works at Paris for a fashion magazine. I'm competing with two other girls for the lead actress and I've passed three rounds of interviews and received a message from the director that I was successful in getting the chance."
"Congratulations…"
"And then! My agent told me that, a fucking fashion consultant jumped out. And he said we must wear a haute couture to take part in the last audition! He says that our fashion control is also a factor in determining whether we are qualified for this role. Oh theses fucking stupid gay!"
"What is haute couture?"
"Just expensive, fashionable clothes produced by leading fashion houses, like Chanel, Dior. Its production process is cumbersome and delicate, and one of them costs almost hundreds of thousands of dollars or even millions. Most people can't get it at all!"
"Then your competitors can't get it either?"
"That's the best." Catherine rolled her eyes. "One of them is Elena Hadid, daughter of supermodel Bella Hadid, and the other is Tracy Hilton, daughter of Hilton family. One star second generation and one rich second generation, how can I compete with them? I doubt this is completely shady, just to give them a back door!"
Catherine took off her cap and scratched her hair in pain.
Jack thought, he can't do anything about power or status, but if it's just about money, there is no problem at all!
Don't say what haute couture, no matter how expensive it is, he can afford it! It just costs hundreds of thousands. He can buy 100 pieces without blinking!
Catherine's Favorability: +5
Catherine felt better after venting her emotions, so her favorability for Jack who was willing to listen to her also increased.
"Thank you for listening to my troublesome, alas, I think I just wait for the next opportunity."
"Don't worry, it's just clothes, I'll buy it for you."
Jack smiled confidently.
Catherine's Favorability: -10
Catherine's eyes suddenly became strange, she looked up and down the boy in his early twenties.
After Jack returned to his dormitory, he changed out of the clothes Lucy had picked for her. And now he is wearing white vest, shorts and slippers, like a poor student. Who would believe such a young son saying he could buy hundreds of thousands of haute couture for girls?
Catherine will have a good impression on the boy who listen to her, but she will not have a good impression on the one who are bragging…
Noticing what he was wearing now, Jack coughed awkwardly.
He suddenly thought of something, took out his wallet, and took out a black card.
"I didn't lie to you, I'm a VIP customer of Chanel." It's exactly the VIP card that was applied when he was shopping for Lucy.
Catherine took it over and took a look. She is in the modeling industry and is familiar with luxury brands. This card doesn't look fake.
"Ok," She dubiously returned the card to Jack, "Sorry, I'm being a bit of a judge…"
Catherine is also well-informed and knows that there are indeed many rich people who dress in a low-key manner.
Although it is dangerous to accept the help of a strange man, she really wants this opportunity. So she still plans to take a risk and see whether can Jack help her.
"Come on, let's go to Chanel!"
