When she arrived at the photo shoot location, the backdrop was a high-end, pitch-black canvas – a design that was both simple and classy.
A pure black piano was positioned there, its lid open, the white keys standing out starkly.
Yeah, the scene was just as she'd imagined. But… something about the atmosphere in the studio wasn't right.
Inside the CEO's office at the Harper Group, Nate spoke with a tone that was both nonchalant and respectful.
"Sir, Ms. Lennon, the sales director of Chopard's branch, invites you to visit their jewelry exhibition and the photoshoot of their new jewelry line that's about to hit the market. She also mentioned that she'd like to have lunch with you, if possible."
Damon held an expensive black pen in his hand, absent-mindedly doodling on a document. His hand looking even more clean and elegant.
His expression was unresponsive, and without lifting his head, he simply replied, "Decline."
Nate's face didn't register any surprise. Ever since Mr. Harper returned to the country, he had been keeping a low profile. Still, there was no end to the number of women who were dying to meet him every day.
The smart ones would propose a business collaboration first, then find an opportunity to get closer. This kind of thing happened so often that Nate was a little fed up, not to mention Mr. Harper.
"Understood. I'll inform the secretary to decline at once."
When Nate turned to leave, Damon paused in his doodling.
"Hold on."
Nate halted and turned around, "Mr. Harper?"
"The ad photo shoot for Chopard's new line?"
"Yes. Chopard is one of the permanent jewelry brands in the Harper family's various malls."
Damon pondered for a moment before replying, "Accept it."
A look of surprise flashed in Nate's eyes.
Back at the photo shoot location...
"Ms. Summers…"
Chloe responded to each greeting, then turned to a prop master beside her and asked,
"Why has the shoot been paused? Is it because of Jeanette?"
The prop master's face fell.
"No, Jeanette has been great, very… obedient."
Chloe let out a small sigh of relief. Describing Jeanette as "obedient" was indeed quite fitting.
"Yeah, Jeanette’s great. She came early to get her makeup done. She bought breakfast for us, afraid that she might delay the process. She's just so easy to get along with."
"The most popular star doing the most humble things, yet being stood up by a lesser-known artist. This is a slap in the face for Jeanette."
