Hello, CEO! Don’t Play With Me!

Giselle finished her face and hairdo. As she usually wears on a daily basis, natural make up with her hair slightly accented with waves at the ends. Matching the outfit she wore for the night of the banquet and the intimacy of each contestant.

“I don’t think SEO model Giselle is interested in this kind of event,” said one of the contestants whom Giselle recognized as a well-known celebrity; Tasya Marcos. She extended her hand to the girl in front of her, smiling slightly as she welcomed Giselle into the banquet hall.

Giselle welcomed them no less warmly. Although her heart and eyes began to probe more deeply into their actions. a common thing that happens among contestants who compete for prestigious champions like this. there will definitely be drama wrapped in friendliness in the smiles and glances that lead to it.

“I’m glad to be among you.” All Giselle could do now was be friendly. Like everyone here. but for some reason her eyes fell on a figure who was leisurely enjoying the meal. indeed, occasionally the figure was friendly but after that, the smile was no longer there.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

“What a strange person,” Giselle muttered after she had pulled away from many of the contestants who were reprimanding her. Several groups began to form and seemed to be having a lot of fun talking about things. It sounded quite excited and according to Giselle was also used as a place to show off and brag.

“Hey,” Charlotte greeted as she brought Giselle a mocktail provided by the organizers. “You like being alone, don’t you?”

“Thank you,” Giselle said sincerely. Could she get rid of the thought that Charlotte was just like the others? While the other contestants were busy looking for a group, Charlotte seemed to be blending in and familiarizing herself with everyone she greeted. But… for some reason, Giselle felt that Charlotte lacked sincerity in every smile she gave.

Maybe it’s because she’s been in a world where most people don’t hesitate to show their violent and lustful side while at the club, and then when Giselle finds out about these people’s private lives, they’re nothing more than human beings wearing the most perfect masks. There’s a lot of ugliness buried in every smile and unleashed when they’re partying under the flash of colorful lights and ear-splitting music.

“I need some fresh air.” That was all Giselle could say. “It’ll be a while before the main event of the banquet, right?”

“You’re right.” Charlotte smiled cheerfully. “I heard that the organizers for this year are quite selective in choosing potential contestants and we’re lucky to be here and meet. Even though we’ll have to compete, I guess it wouldn’t hurt if we became friends, right?”

Giselle smiled and savored the mocktail that Charlotte had given her for conversation.

“I heard that SEO will hold another show next year?”

The glass that had been on Giselle’s lips, she slowly began to distance herself. No longer savoring the refreshing drink but listening and examining what the person she had just met meant. “Yes, that’s true.”

“I’m sure, you’ll be the main star again. when you appeared in the past few months, many people didn’t expect you to be as popular as you are now. SEO’s help is not playing around to boost the model to become more famous, huh.”

Giselle looked at the girl with the full name Charlotte Flampe with a surprised look but then laughed in response to the words just now. “There’s a point, and there’s also a point I think.”

Charlotte returned the gaze still with a faint smile. “There are many who want to be SEO models but unfortunately, it seems that the owner chooses the model he wants to work with. right?”

“You’re right.” Giselle agreed with that. “Justin prefers to dive right in to assess and scrutinize who’s worthy of wearing his designs.”

“And you feel worthy?”

The question contained sarcasm wrapped in a friendly smile. Ah… Giselle understood where this was going in the end. She sipped the remaining mocktail in her glass. At least she still had the courtesy of not wasting what was brought to her, right?

“If Justin thinks I’m worthy of showing off his work at SEO’s annual show, then that means I’m worthy of wearing Justin’s designs. And not only did it make me famous, but SEO’s brand and sales after the show were fantastic.”

Charlotte wiped away her smile. “Could it be that Justin is judging because of what you did to get that position?” she approached Giselle who she thought was haughty and notorious for belittling others. Just because Giselle was at the peak of her popularity? Oh my! It wouldn’t be long before Giselle’s era would also change. And Charlotte made sure it was her. Many brands have asked to work with her, she has also participated in several selection shows and her agency has contacted many fashion houses to work together. the higher the name she gets on social media, the greater the chance of getting a lot of work.

And most importantly, it can rise to the pinnacle of popularity that many other models aspire to.

“As a model, isn’t it normal to accompany the agency owner to have fun in order to get the top spot?”

The mocktail glass that was in Giselle’s hand, was placed rather tightly on the table. fortunately, even though it was made of glass, the coating material was thick enough to withstand Giselle’s rather haphazard behavior. the sound of the glass clashing with the glass table, at least made several pairs of eyes turn towards her.

Does he care?

Absolutely not.

Since they were a bit apart, and Charlotte seemed surprised by Giselle’s actions, Giselle took the initiative to lean towards her interlocutor. “If I did accompany Justin to have fun, isn’t that my business? Why do you want to know so much? Do you want to get the secret of how to subdue the SEO CEO who is famously selective for his models?”

Charlotte’s hands were firmly clenched. her eyes stared intently at Giselle who was now smiling cheerfully.

“I’ll tell you, Charlotte. It’s my pleasure, really, you can relax. I like to share how to have fun with men.”

Either the remark was taken seriously, or Charlotte really wanted to get into the SEO agency, because the girl seemed to be waiting for Giselle to continue. Giselle felt like laughing at the face that was filled with curiosity but exorbitant prestige. Tsk! Why try to accuse her of doing things that were beyond her reasoning? She wished she could do what Charlotte had just said, but alas, coming closer than Giselle did, Justin immediately raised the bar as high as he could.

Since Charlotte didn’t take any distance at all, it made Giselle grin triumphantly. The girl had completely fallen for her bait.

“Justin doesn’t like having fun with girls like you, Charlotte. Just get rid of the idea that you can attract Justin’s attention with dirty tricks like that. You’d better use the time during quarantine to train to be better. Just like me. We’re the same, still lacking experience, but at least I want to go up in an elegant way. Not by opening my thighs as wide as possible in front of a man. It’s no fun having fun with an empty heart.”
