"Miss Blanchard, are you free to talk? Can you do me a favor? We will be open for business today. At first, we did hire a model to help us promote. However, we just got a call from her, saying that her lips are inflamed as she accidentally burnt them while eating something hot. Can you come over and help us promote by standing on the stage? It won't take too long. We will open at 11 o'clock and we'll close at 1 o'clock. Of course, we will double the pay and it will be about ten thousand dollars. May I know if you are keen?

",

"I know you are working but I have no choice, but to ask you for help! Please, you must help me! If the salary is not up to your expectation, we can negotiate the price! Today is our grand opening. We really can't find a suitable replacement in this short period of time!

",

"Miss Blanchard, our impression of you is good, and you are gorgeous! You just need to stand in front of the counter and act as a model...

", His voice sounded anxious. When Alicia realized that he wasn't withdrawing their previous deal, she sighed a breath of relief and relaxed a little. Thinking that she had nothing to do that day and that she was not in a good mood either, she agreed.,

"Okay! 11 o'clock, right? Which shopping mall is it? I'll rush over right now!

", After reaching an agreement, she received a text regarding the location. Alicia turned off the computer and rushed to the office to fill up a form requesting leave. As the job that she was working often required her to work out of the office, she greeted her colleagues and got out of the office smoothly without even having to use her annual leave., Wonder International Plaza was a fully-established commercial building with a collection of branded stores, entertainment outlets, a shopping center, and a hotel- styled condominium. The opening ceremony was quite grand as they had invited some famous stars to participate. There were a lot of entertainment promotions too. The reason why they chose to do it on Friday was because of the crowd., The appearance of Frederick undoubtedly caused a sensation. Chet, who had been following him all the time, paid attention to the surroundings and helped him avoid unnecessary interactions with strangers. After the host made a speech, Frederick followed the flow according to the schedule., After bouts of applause with firecrackers, he retreated to backstage as soon as the music started.,

"Mr. Clements, the rental of the shops is as expected. About 80% of the shops that are open today or recently are mostly international famous brands. There are only three lots that are still vacant. The first batch of the condominium lots has been sold out and a few of them have been reserved. The second batch mainly comprises studios for single individuals and their funds have mostly been approved. The bottom floors are mainly for high-end restaurants, while the back alley will be for food stalls as we have gotten the approval to operate. This area is a gathering venue for people from different income standards.

", Chet raised his hand and pointed to a promotion signboard on the other side as he suggested,

"Shall we go in and have a look?

",

"Sure!

", Nodding his head, the manager, Edward, led the way into the mall with a group of people.,

"The building is divided into the east and west wings. In general, the east wing is for relatively high-end brands. On the first floor, it's mainly jewelry and cosmetics products. The second floor is full of luxury women's clothing. The third floor is for men's clothing. Whereas for the fourth floor, there is a playground and restaurants...

", As soon as they entered the massive hall, a burst of cheers came from the top of the hall. Everyone stopped out of the blue and stuck out their heads to see where the noise came from. Then only did Edward announce it to them.,

"Today is our opening day, therefore each shop has its own event! The central hall is empty as we have rented it out to a small company for a car promotion. They have prepared a new car for the exhibition. There will be activities at noon like dancing and singing performances. It may help us to attract the crowds!

", As if something had flashed across Frederick's mind, he frowned slightly and thought,

"A car show? She is working today. Will she be here as well?

", Seeing that there was an obvious crowd on one side, Frederick subconsciously turned towards that area.,

"Wow-

", Another round of exclamation could be heard. He decided to walk over., At this time, there was a young lady who was wearing a tight, snowy-white dress, posing beside an ordinary-looking car on the stage. Her top was quite revealing, which showed off her sexy figure. Frederick took a glance around and the word 'gaudy' appeared in his mind!, When he looked at the crowd around him who were busy taking pictures with their phones, his face began to show a look of disgust. Sure enough, they were a group of narrow-minded people., Why were they so excited at the sight of such a car and a girl? If these people had seen Alicia, he was sure that they would be shocked!, He glanced at them disdainfully. Frederick was feeling a little proud as he felt that Alicia was the best. Other girls couldn't compare to her at all!, He turned around and was about to leave. However, a red figure appeared in front of him. Suddenly, Frederick halted. He saw a young girl holding a small flag running over and there was an image of a lady on the flag., Was that Alicia?, Who was that man?, Although it was just a fleeting glance, Frederick felt as if he had just seen Alicia's picture!, What happened? Was he thinking about her too much that he was hallucinating?, At this moment, a couple who was arguing came over. The man was chasing after the woman, then he grabbed her arm and panted.,

"Isn't it just a lipstick? Why are you so angry? I have bought it for you, what more do you want?

",

"Why did you even hesitate when it costs only three hundred dollars? Do you even like me? Usually, it costs more than five hundred dollars but there is a discount today! It seemed like I'm asking for when I was just asking for lipstick. You embarrassed me! Why are you still following me? Who cares if you have bought it for me?

", Swinging her hand, the woman scrunched up her face. The man got furious and roared at her., your, death,

"Are you done? You are so old-fashioned and you don't even know how to put on makeup. It's a waste to use such lipstick. I could've eaten two steaks with three hundred dollars! If you look like that model, I don't mind buying you a thirty-thousand-dollar lipstick!

", In an instant, the woman was so enraged that tears started to roll down her cheeks.,

"If you dislike me so much, why are you still chasing after me? If I'm as beautiful as that lady, you wouldn't even be qualified to buy me a lipstick of 30,000 dollars! Her dress costs about 300,000 dollars! Can you even afford that with one year's salary? I know I am old-fashioned but I'm worth more than 300 dollars! Look at how poor you are!, Let's break up!

", With a roar, the woman threw the leaflets in her hands at the man. Then, the leaflets slowly fell to the ground. Frederick recognized a familiar gorgeous face on a flag. Out of nowhere, his whole face became gloomy., Turns out, it was a promotional leaflet, not a flag. In fact, it was just a piece of cardboard stuck on a stick.

"Magic Maquillage

" was written on it along with an eye-catching lipstick. Plus, Alicia was on it too. Half of her body was leaning against a man's shoulder. She looked extremely gorgeous and seductive., The photos were so captivating that Frederick felt his heart beating faster in an instant., Search the website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
