The Years Between Signing and Seeing novel Chapter 499

To her surprise, Crystal followed them outside. "Excuse me, miss? Have you ever considered a career in print modeling?" Crystal's tone was professional but eager. "Let me introduce myself. I'm a professional photographer, fairly well-known in the industry. If you're interested, I have the connections to make you a star overnight."

Crystal reached into her designer bag, pulled out a sleek business card, and held it out.

Suzie hesitated, not reaching for it. Crystal didn't know who she was, but Suzie knew exactly who Crystal was. Rumor had it that Crystal was setting up her own independent studio, which meant they could very well end up as direct competitors in the near future.

She definitely wasn't ready to expose her identity as S-Dream just yet.

"Look, I know there are a lot of scammers out there, so it's natural to be cautious," Crystal pressed on smoothly. "You don't have to decide now. Just take the card, Google my name, and think it over. I can tell from your clothes that you aren't exactly struggling for cash, but let's be real—nobody hates having more money, and nobody hates being famous. Right? I hope to hear from you."

Before Suzie could process the interaction, Crystal pressed the card into her palm and turned back toward the building's entrance.

Mia watched the exchange with wide eyes. "Suzie... when our studio officially launches, are you going to announce that you're S-Dream? Isn't it going to be incredibly awkward if you run into her again?"

"It's fine," Suzie said, looking down at the card. "I originally thought about using the 'S-Dream' name to drum up hype for the new studio, but then I realized I can just operate the same way I did at Timefly. Anonymity works."
