Summer simply frowned and kept quiet.
Thinking I could be of some assistance, I asked instinctively, “What’s going on? What models? Aren’t the couples on stage actual ones that are going to get married soon?”
“Not all of them. The first few pairs are internet celebrity couples, but the rest are all just good-looking actors and models that we hired. Good-looking facial features can really bring surprising results,” Jared explained.
The concept was as simple as packaging one’s product nicely to make it seem more appealing, but the problem wasn’t an easy one to solve.
While everyone was gathered around and brainstorming for a solution, I had an idea all of a sudden. “Since they’re not real couples, we could just get two women with attractive faces to take their place!”
The staff who delivered the bad news earlier shrugged and shook his head as he said, “We have thought about that, but we couldn’t find anyone suitable. Most of us working in this field don’t really care much for appearances, you see. We can’t approach tourists for help either, so…”
So who do we go to for help? That is the question.
I frowned as I continued to rack my brain for a solution. That was when I noticed Emery through the corner of my eye and had another idea.
Her face and figure don’t look like a married woman’s, that’s for sure! Now, we’re still short of one person. I know John would never let his wife make a public appearance like that, so that makes me the only suitable candidate for this task!
With that in mind, I decided to go all out and proposed, “We do have suitable replacements. I think Emery and I can replace the two models. If Summer is okay with this suggestion, we’ll go with this plan and proceed with the preparations right away!”
I had thought that Summer would politely refuse my offer, and that Emery would require a lot of coaxing and persuading for her to agree to it.
However, things were quite the opposite.
