"Christina, what did you do to them?" It was dinner time.
After the director briefly told them about tomorrow's work schedule at eight, everyone gathered in the lobby on the third floor to have a buffet.However, Christina was obviously ostracized.Charles saw her eating alone when he was walking towards a corner after chatting with the producers and directors.
"What outrageous thing have you done again?" Those female models were obviously isolating her on purpose.
Christina put down the knife and fork since the buffet in this hotel was not to her liking.
She replied indifferently as she was wiping the corner of her mouth with a clean napkin, "They were discussing Patrick's bed skills.I wanted to join them, but they just left."
Charles was shocked.
Everyone here was clear that Christina and Mr.Shepherd were close, so they did not dare to vent their anger on her no matter how dissatisfied they were.
Except for the director.
"A married woman should behave more restrained.Such ashame, hmph!"
Christina narrowed her eyes while the bearded director snorted loudly and strutted past them.Her expression twisted immediately.
Charles didn't take the gossip seriously since he was a man with a good temper and had met with these weird directors frequently.He turned to look at Christina, afraid that her blood sugar was too low at this moment because she hadn't eaten much and would do something rashly.So Charles made up a fake story to comfort her immediately.
"It is said that this director was cuckolded by his wife.He has been a little perverted ever since."
He even approached her mysteriously to make himself more credible.Christina thought for a second and said, "He deserves it"
In fact, she wanted to ask if this bearded director who looked a little familiar had visited the Hopkins family before.
But she was not sure about that.
Their schedule was still tight the next day, but the good news was that even Christina, who had always been a drag, finished filming smoothly at 4 in the afternoon.
Finally, as the bearded director waved his hand, they were free from work.
"The shoot this time was strange.They said that they would only choose the best 50 seconds for an advertisement, but all of us were asked to rehearse for it.It seemed that they were making a lot of different versions in preparation.I've never seen this way of making an advertisement."
Everyone was free this afternoon so they rushed back to the hotel to take a shower and change into new clothes.
After that, they met in the hotel restaurant to have coffee and chat with each other.
"Why did they have to make all of us tired? They should have picked up the final person first.Otherwise, all of the others' work is just in vain." One of the models complained.
She was wearing a long black dress with shoulder straps despite the cold weather.
"Renee, you're always the most well-informed.What's going on now?"
The woman asked, whose tone became even more disdainful.
"Are all of us going to be a foil to Christina? Seriously, who is she? Isn't she just awoman Charles slept with? So annoying!"
"The director is still editing, how would I know?"
Renee, who had the highest score in this advertisement, didn't seem to care about it.Instead, she smiled gently.
"Well, but I do have the latest news..."
"The president of IP&G Group happened to be here on a business trip.One of its branches booked a very famous restaurant and invited us to Central for dinner tonight."
Hearing this, the other women at the same table asked excitedly, "You mean Patrick Hopkins? Can we see him tonight?"
As the models were gossiping here, a woman walked out of the elevator and strode towards them with a confident smile.
"IP&G Group invites everyone in your group for dinner in Central tonight.I hope you can all present."
"Nice...Nice to meet you, Miss Parker”
"Nice to meet you, Director Parker."
Those models were all smart who immediately stood up and showed a standard eight-teeth smile to please her.
