Chapter 2291
"However, women above thirty-five are different. Women nowadays generally take great care of themselves, so women who are thirty-five look like they are just in their twenties. Some of them who are forty-five even seem like they are in their early thirties. Plenty of them have long flowing hair and great figures. That is the reason why our company has decided to design clothes for women from age thirty-five to fifty-five. They have great spending power and they have excellent taste. Once a woman reaches this age, their taste will naturally get better. Many experts studying women nowadays say that a woman should be most beautiful in the twenty years between the age of thirty-five to fifty -five. I originally did not believe this statement. However, I finally believed it the moment I saw you. To be honest with you, Miss Shaw, I had been paying attention to you in secret for a long time before I went up to greet you for the first time yesterday, why have I been paying attention to you? Don't be afraid. It's because my company is looking for a model between the ages of thirty-five to fifty-five. We have been searching and searching, but we just couldn't find a suitable person. My boss has been casting his nets wide in search of a suitable model and he saw you in the process."
"You perform the best in the senior citizen dance group, you have the best figure, and you also have the most outstanding temperament. Someone like you is very eye-catching even if you try to keep a low profile. At first, my boss even thought that you were in your early forties. He thought that with your good looks, as well as your elegant and calm temperament, you would absolutely be the best person for our company's model. Therefore, he purposely sent me to discuss this with you. I was thinking, has my behavior yesterday frightened you? I'm sorry. It's because I have finally found a suitable model who is very elegant and is able to represent our company. It's really not an easy feat. You're truly one in a million. That's why I was a little excited yesterday. Please forgive me." 1
James gave such a long speech that not only made Gloria's ears incredibly tired, but even Jame himself was frothing at both the corners of his lips. He silently praised himself for doing an excellent job at memorizing his lines. He would have made an exceptional actor. In fact, that was indeed true. He was improvising and he just spoke whatever came to his mind. 'It's really not bad. I reckon that you certainly can make Gloria feel moved.'
However, there was no reply from the other end of the call after a long time.
"Miss Shaw, Miss Shaw? Are you...alright? why aren't you talking? Have I scared you? I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I apologize to you. I truly feel it's quite a pity if you don't be our company's model. You'll know it once you put on the clothes our company produced once they are ready. It really will be very great. We will even take photos for you so that your young and beautiful appearance gets to be saved. Miss Shaw..."
James was so sincere that he was able to move mountains. He was truly very earnest.
On the other end of the call, Gloria finally replied as well. However, she sounded much weaker than earlier. "James, I...understood you. It's just that I...I..." Gloria coughed twice.
"Miss Shaw, what's the matter?" James asked.
Only then did Gloria say, sounding very weak, "My phone ran out of battery. I had just borrowed a charger and charged it a little. I only saw your countless missed calls after I switched on my phone. I'm sorry for...not picking up your calls. I am sick and I'm at the hospital..."
