Selene remained still, and after some time, her anger began to escalate. Just as she was about to say something, Gloria said, "Vicky, if you want some kind of compensation, name anything. We will do our best to fulfill your wish."
Vicky glanced at her. "A casual apology from Miss Rathborne and a simple promise of compensation is supposed to cancel out all the damage done to our studio and Cece's reputation?"
Gloria paused. "I will compensate twice the loss to the studio, and I will make a public statement on social media about the truth. My dresses for any concert in the following year will be ordered from your studio, and after each performance, I will include your studio's name in my social media as well. Is that okay?"
Gloria was proposing to be the spokesperson for Vicky's studio.
As a world-famous pianist, Gloria never had to worry about money despite the downfall of her family. She never accepted any roles in commercials and rejected offers that paid over eight digits in the past, which went to prove just how difficult it was to hire Gloria as a spokesperson.
Considering Gloria's popularity, one could only imagine how many orders Vicky's studio would receive with her as the spokesperson.
Cece glanced at Vicky and thought, 'Vicky and Tyler are in a strange stage of their relationship right now, and based on what I know about Vicky, she might not agree to it.'
"Sure," Vicky agreed right away.
Cece, Gloria, and Selene were all stunned.
Vicky turned to look at Cece. "Cece, go and draft a contract based on the terms Miss Shaw proposed."
Though shocked, Cece asked, "Should... Should I go now, then?"
"Go ahead."
Shortly after, Cece returned with a printed copy of the contract.
Gloria did not expect Vicky to agree to her terms, but since she had made a promise in front of Tyler, she could not go back on her promise. After taking a look at the contract, Gloria signed her name on the very last page.
