Thinking that she finally had a day for herself to have some good rest after being away from Matthew, Clarissa was dragged into the studio for a live broadcast by Ellie as she had promised her earlier. Since it was her first time doing a live broadcast, Clarissa wasn’t too comfortable with it, not to mention that she was expected to model the clothes, which was even more awkward for her. Under Ellie’s guidance, she gathered her courage and was ready to begin.
Apart from Clarissa, another model named Kendall was in the studio too.
Among the three of them, Kendall and Clarissa were in charge of changing and modeling the clothes while Ellie was the narrator. Clarissa wasn’t good with words, so she only smiled the entire time.
“The new girl is really pretty, what’s her name?”
“Hi nice to meet you, pretty girl!”
Following that, many people greeted Clarissa as well. They were captivated by her beautiful looks right away and started liking every single piece of clothes that she had worn. They even wanted to know where she did her hair or purchased the bracelet that was hanging around her wrist. It was as if they wanted to buy everything Clarissa was showing.
Ellie snickered from within, knowing that she had found the right person to be her model. Ah… It such a waste for a beautiful face like Clarissa to not enter showbiz.
“This is our new member in the studio, Clare. Clare, come over here and greet everyone!”
Clarissa gave a coy smile that instantly mesmerized everyone watching.
“Hi everyone, I’m Clare.”
“Oh my, this pretty girl’s voice is so sweet, I can’t help but be captivated.”
“Ms. Clare, are you a celebrity?”
“She is stunning! I want whatever she’s wearing…”
Even though they had just started the broadcast, the response they got was rolling in abundance. Ellie was even more certain that she had found the right person for this.
Business had been slowing down lately, so it’s definitely the right move for me to involve Clare.
Following that, Clarissa tried on each set of clothes several times patiently as requested by the girls who were watching the live broadcast. It lasted for hours from afternoon till night and by the end of it, Clarissa was exhausted.
After the live broadcast ended, Ellie was serving her tea and giving her massages while planning on the next live broadcast already.
“Clare, don’t write your novels anymore and just do live broadcasts with me! I guarantee that it’ll be more relaxing than writing an article. Even though there’s no guarantee for a lot of money, you can dress up and look beautiful every day! After you’ve gained some fame, you might even be able to enter showbiz and earn even more money.”
Clarissa didn’t even hesitate and rejected her best friend in a low voice.
“I don’t want to.”
“Then how about you take this as a part-time job and come do live broadcasting here? Look at how well my business is doing today, I’ll share with you some of the profit, alright? I mean, look at how much you’ve helped me with my sales the moment you’ve joined? So, help me again, alright? Please, Clare.”
“Ms. Tyson, can you let me have my meal first? How will there be a next time if I were to starve to death now?”
After a moment of realization, Ellie instantly dragged Clarissa and a few other colleagues out for a meal.
There was not much sound in Skylight Restaurant’s private lounge other than the sound of constant chewing and swallowing.
It wasn’t until they had eaten enough and filled their tummies that the bunch of them felt alive again.
The few people in the studio knew that their boss was a socialite from a rich family. Therefore, none of them were too surprised about having their meal at Skylight Restaurant as it wasn’t their first time being there.
Ellie was thrilled because the live broadcast was a success that day. After the meal, she announced, “Since it’s a good day, let’s go have fun instead of going home. I’ll pay for everything.”
The bunch of them were excited upon hearing that. All except for Clarissa who just wanted to go home and get some rest.
Ellie wasn’t going to let her go that easily, though, and the few of them dragged Clarissa out the door.
“Come on, I don’t want to join. I want to go home and sleep…”
Clarissa dragged her feet deliberately because she didn’t want to join them. In the next moment, Ellie roared like a lioness, “Drag her into the car!”
It was quite a scene as the bunch of them started pulling, dragging, and laughing with one another. People who were passing by couldn’t help but stare as well.
Shermaine happened to see that when she walked out with her manager, Lizzie.
It was an inevitable moment between rivals and Ellie fell silent almost instantly.
After seeing Shermaine, Clarissa straightened her body and was ready to walk away without greeting them.
“Ellie? What a coincidence. Are you having a meal with your friends?”
Ellie scoffed, “What’s the matter?”
Shermaine kept a smile on her face while a few of Ellie’s staff looked over their shoulders curiously. To their surprise, it was the award-winning actress, Shermaine.
However, they could tell that Shermaine’s relationship with their boss wasn’t too good.
“It’s been a long time since we last met. I’ve just returned from the film studio tonight. Oh right, I’ll be going over to the Tyson residence tomorrow since I was thinking of visiting Mr. Tyson and Mrs. Tyson. I even brought some presents for you.”
“Huh! I don’t want it.” Ellie turned around and stormed off. Shermaine didn’t stop her but smile instead at the sight of her leaving.
The colleagues left silently right after since no one was in the mood for fun anymore.
While sitting in Ellie’s car, the woman started ranting to Clarissa.
“Does she think that I’m not aware of what she’s planning? She told me about going to the Tyson residence on purpose and knew that I wouldn’t be happy about that so I would leave them alone. Without my interruption, she’ll be able to mingle with the Tysons happily and freely.”
“So are you still going out tomorrow?”
