“Wow, Giselle is really beautiful.”
“Really like the Goddess of Beauty!”
“KYahhh! Giselle! I have to take a picture!”
Giselle was only able to smile slightly in response. Sometimes she would wave back. Letting some of the people who welcomed her in the lobby of the SEO office take out their respective cellphones. some were recording, taking pictures, and perhaps broadcasting live on their personal channels.
She never made it a problem as long as they were polite. What makes Giselle often ask for a separate escort from SEO staff is that crazy fans are clearly everywhere. She doesn’t want an incident to happen that traumatizes her.
Her hand was dragged away by a large man. Forced to follow that step rudely and there was an argument with the security guard. At that time Giselle had just landed at the airport. Didn’t know that many fans were waiting for her there.
Since then, Giselle has never been separated from the four SEO staff who always look after her.
“Are you okay?” asked one of the staff as they escaped the crowd of fans in the lobby area. They were waiting for the elevator that would lead to the floor where the SEO boss worked.
“Nothing happened to me,” Giselle said with a big smile. “Thank goodness. That incident really served as a warning to the fans.”
“But we must not let our guard down, Miss.”
Giselle agreed. He continued to move towards the room where Giselle had already memorized the location.
Giselle’s arrival in his office made the man who was examining some of the reports presented by several divisions in his office, stop in his tracks. Justin’s eyes were immediately filled with the figure of the girl who sat while frowning.
“What happened?” he asked, resuming the work he had stopped just now. “Brina told me you got into an argument with Yunesha’s owner?”
Giselle put on an even more annoyed face. “That man is so annoying. Don’t you know the limits I set?”
Justin chuckled. “Do you need the job details in the contract so you can refer to them if they make you lose concentration?”
“I don’t care about that. You know, I’ll do anything as long as you ask. But Yunesha? Who are they, anyway, SEO associates?”
“No,” said Justin, who now chose to approach Giselle. Even after he asked one of the office girls to bring him a cup of hot chocolate. By the end of November, winter had greeted them all. Preparing for the turn of the year was also an event that would take place at Yazeran. As the main star and super model that SEO relies on, Giselle has been confirmed to take part.
And to top it off, it’s the biggest part compared to other models.
“They’re just partners.” Justin took his cigarette out of his blazer pocket. Pinched the end against his already blackened lips. He let Giselle finish the last part before he enjoyed the cigarette in this room; lighting the flame and burning the nicotine tip. “Thanks,” Justin said as he puffed out the smoke.
“I just don’t like it when Mr. Theo interferes too much during photo shoots. It’s like he’s the best at lens angles. I got tired of constantly having to strike the poses he wanted while once the results came out, I wasn’t sure if they were worth publishing. I was embarrassed to see my face there myself.” Giselle let out a long sigh. She leaned back comfortably on the soft sofa Justin had provided here.
“And what happened next?” Justin asked, laughing.
Giselle chuckled. “Aren’t you the one who knows best?”
Obviously, the reaction made Justin laugh. It was hilarious. It was as if laughing at Giselle with her situation made him feel very happy. Aside from the fact that her pretty face looked distracted, Giselle was sure to be grumpy all day. And the only thing that could ease her sulking nature… Justin would have to accompany her to sit at the simple tavern she frequented.
It didn’t really matter to Justin, but for the next few days he was a bit busy. But if he doesn’t make fun of Giselle, there seems to be something missing in Justin’s life. So whatever it takes, he’ll take it.
“You’re too much!”
At the same time as Giselle’s words, a young girl in an SEO staff uniform entered. In her hands was a tray that read chocolate cups as well as chocolate-based snacks. But obviously, not just any snack because the amount of calories that will enter the model’s body must be calculated.
“I put it here, sir.” The staff member resigned as soon as he was done with his business.
“You’d better calm down first, Giselle. I deliberately ordered from a place you like.”
Giselle frowned again.
“Or do you want me to finish it?” Justin took another drag on his cigarette.
“It’s delicious!” Giselle immediately pulled out the tray in front of her. She slowly savored the hot chocolate that had been prepared for her. “I won’t let you touch my chocolate.”Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Again, Justin’s laughter filled his office. “Enjoy it while you can. Brina has some business with Jews Jewerly.”
Giselle squealed with delight. Rarely did a time like this come along in her life. Even though she was irritated by the work she had been going through for a while, at least this glass of hot chocolate could wash away the things that were ruining her mood. Justin always knew how to make her feel good and happy.
Meanwhile, Justin spent his time checking his messages. There were so many messages, he was confused about which one to reply to first. But there was one message that interested him. It was from the person he paid to keep an eye on Giselle if his eyes got too far away from the model. Especially when he was out of town.
No, there was one thing that he thought was too big a risk when he set the goal. Asking Giselle to model for the grand show that had ended a few months ago. Just as he had imagined and realized in the end, the show was a true success. It brought Giselle Namiozuka to the pinnacle of fame. Who doesn’t know Giselle, whose face is now often featured in fashion magazines? Also, her popularity is increasing day by day.
However, that was balanced by the girl’s past, which Justin tried hard to keep from being taken advantage of. The man simply couldn’t relax if Giselle was out of his reach.
Edwin:
Sir, Miss Giselle met a woman at 19th Luxurious Steak. I have the evidence.
A photo was sent by the man to Justin. Without looking twice, Justin knew who she was.
“I don’t think your annoyance is just because of Mr. Theo,” Justin said as he exhaled the smoke from the cigarette, which was quite thick this time. There was little nicotine left and he chose to put it out. Straightening his back, Justin didn’t want to waste any time asking Giselle.
Given their time together is short. Once Justin made a promise, he would fulfill it to the death. He chose Giselle to be under his influence, his protection, and he would take her to the highest peak. For Giselle to be able to do whatever is within her reach. As for him? Obviously, the growing coffers of money and SEO shares. A mutually beneficial relationship, right?
“What do you mean?” asked Giselle with a surprised look. Her mouth was still chewing on the sweet treat. “These are delicious. Why don’t you try them, Justin?” She handed him the jar of cookies, of which only half remained.
“You met someone two days ago?”
Her chewing stopped. His eyes looked at Justin with a look of disbelief. But then, he tried to be as calm as possible. He took a sip of his warm chocolate and smiled slightly for starters. “You don’t have to worry about the meeting. It’s just old friends, right?”
Justin’s grin came out of nowhere. And it’s clear who it’s aimed at as Justin’s interlocutor starts to look uneasy.
“Have you forgotten what I said?”
Giselle swallowed nervously.
“So… tell me the gist of your meeting.”
