After Divorce

Chapter 65 A Perfect Match

This time, the master photographer they’ve brought in is Jessica. She’s insanely talented, getting her so shoot is usually super expensive. Plus, she’s picky about her models. The biggest problem they have on into is that they can’t find the right celeb model for her to shoot this timeOwned by NôvelDrama.Org.

To lure Jessica into shooting this magazine cover, the company has shelled out some serious cach Everything was all set, and then, at the last minute, they hit a snag–the celeb model dropped out if we don’t fix this, there goes our money down the drain.

And it’s not just about the money. Their reputationls on the line too. If they mess this up, not only Jessica but other photographers might not want to work with them anymore.

That’s why folks at the subsidiary are freaking out. They reported it up to headquarters, and headquarters sent none other than Sylvia to handle this mess.

After going through the details, Sylvia had a good bead on who Jessica was, but she knew she had to see for herself what was going on.

But get this: when Sylvia arrived at the subsidiary, she ran into Cyril. Since their last casual mall run–in over two weeks ago, they hadn’t crossed paths at all. Things have been smooth. But Cyril knew the Ivans family business was making big moves–snatching up three projects recently, one of which was right out of his hands. It ate at him, knowing they were out of his league.

Expecting someone else to take over the situation, Cyril was surprised to see Sylvia there. And with Sylvia were her best friend and Bruce’s assistant. Cyril had always known Sylvia and Bruce were tight, but the appearance of the assistant for such a supposedly minor issue seemed out of the ordinary

And then there was Luke, Bruce’s right–hand man, now at Sylvia’s side–definitely fishy.

Sylvia didn’t give Cyril a second glance as she approached the manager, who had been notified by the head office about the incoming fixer.

He knew Luke. They had met at last year’s company gala, so he greeted him with familiarity. But Luke clarified that Sylvia, the company’s vice president, was the one in charge. He was just there to support her.

Sylvia, brief nod and all business, asked to meet with Jessica straight away. As she walked past Cyril, the manager brought up that Cyril was Jessica’s good pal and that she insisted on him being the male model If she was to collaborate. Now, with the female celeb a no–show, the manager was at a loss since Cyril’s status made him a tricky figure to navigate around.

The manager, savvy in entertainment politics, sensed the tension in the air and felt a need to explain.

V Meeting Jessica, Sylvia found a woman full of funk and punk–a style that screamed rebel girl rather than

world–famous photographer. But that was Jessica’s charm,

Jessica was nearly at her wit’s end, finding today’s shoot in jeopardy. She was on the cusp of storming off when she heard headquarters was sending someone to save the day. Curiosity piqued, she stayed to see what the headquarters exec would do.

What Jessica didn’t expect was to be smitten the instar Sylvia walived in

“Oh my gosh, you’re gorgeous! is this who headquarters ser to for things? Excellent You’re gonna be the model for this issue, and in fly off the shelves! Get dressed, we’re starting now! Oh, and you’ve met your co–model, right? The super handsome guy outside, Cyril? Known him for years. You two together perfect

match!*

Jessica was clueless that Sylvia was there to solve the problem, not to model. But Jessica figured Sylvia’s looks would make this shoot incredible, already envisioning the success

Caught up in the moment, Jessica dragged Sylvia off to prep for the shoot. Everyone was taken aback: Sylvia, Luke, and Juliet–all speechless.

Cyril, meanwhile, had overheard the offer. He wanted to protest but found himself silently longing for the chance to partner with Sylvia in front of the camera.
