SWNOVELS Chapter 12
Chapter 12: Snatching Endorsements
“But I currently have no plans to publicly announce my relationship with Kevin,” Lilian said calmly, her smile confident and dazzling. “With Kevin’s help, I could certainly soar to new heights, but others would only see me as Kevin’s wife, not model Lilian. Three years ago, I became the number one model in Los Angeles; three years later, through my own hard work, I can still reclaim what rightfully belongs to me.”
“Sylvia, if you’re willing to help me out then we’ll stand together. If you don’t want to though, I won’t force you. I’ll help you terminate your contract with Rainer Entertainment and find a better company for you.”
“What are you talking about? Of course I want to stay by your side and become the gold medal agent of an international supermodel,” Sylvia firmly replied before asking Lilian another question. “But do you plan on staying at Rainer Entertainment?”
“What do you think?” Lilian gave her a look that allowed Sylvia to understand without words. “Brent has used me so many times; how could I not…take it back?”
Sylvia burst into laughter upon hearing this revelation and fell onto Lilian’s body while shaking her shoulders. “Lilian! After all these years of knowing each other, who knew that deep down inside there was such a scheming side of yours? So what’s our next step? Release
a video?”
“No…we’ll snatch endorsements – or more accurately put – take back what is rightfully mine
from Hillary’s hands. Her fans will definitely retaliate then; we’ll use the video at that time!”
“Sylvia, can I trouble you once again? Can you edit the Crown Star show and post it online?”
“That’s nothing! It’s completely okay!” Sylvia immediately lit up upon hearing this request
from Lilian.
What surprised her even more was that Lilian had changed. She used to be gentle and weak, but now she was strong and formidable.
After their conversation, Lilian had Jason send Sylvia home while she herself went back to her bedroom filled with fragrant scents. Kevin had just changed into his robe and was sitting. on the sofa drinking red wine. The slight lift of his chin made his profile even more smooth, perfect like a sculpture that caused one’s heart to beat faster unconsciously.
Lilian felt nervous as she sat down next to Kevin, who didn’t stop drinking but suddenly
reached out with his left hand and hooked it around her shoulder before kissing her thin lips with the taste of red wine in a direct mouth–to–mouth manner. This caught Lilian off guard causing her cheeks to turn red; however, Kevin lightly laughed without any hint of arrogance before giving a kiss on the tip of her nose saying “Your alcohol tolerance is too low; you’ll
suffer at formal events if you don’t practice.”
Lilian pushed away from Kevin’s smooth chest and leaned against him asking: “What does
Mr. Alexander say?”
“Have a small drink every day? How about that?”
“With the same method as earlier?” Lilian raised an eyebrow slightly provocatively.
Kevin couldn’t help but laugh softly upon hearing this suggestion before nodding in
agreement: “Do you like it?”
“Mm–hmm.” Lilian nodded.
“In that case,” said Kevin as he picked up his highball glass again then leaned over using the same method as earlier which led them both into an unforgettable kiss where they
temporarily turned the couch into their bed.
Especially when Kevin’s kisses fell finely scattered yet densely concentrated elsewhere on
Lilian’s body causing tremors throughout making consciousness fade away leaving only
awareness of his handsome nose bridge along with soft lips; however, she could feel his
powerful arms holding onto…
“…Let’s go upstairs instead. I don’t want to…do it on the couch,” Lilian begged.
Upon hearing her plea, Kevin suddenly stopped and looked at her long tail–like legs that were as beautiful as a mermaid’s before wrapping her in his bathrobe and taking big steps. into the bathroom where he placed her in the bathtub.
“What’s wrong?”
Kevin wrapped himself with a towel then turned around, squatting down in front of Lilian while holding onto her chin saying: “I want your heart first. I want you to only have me in your heart before making you completely mine.” After speaking, Kevin was about to stand up but Lilian grabbed hold of his towel.
“I don’t dislike…us doing this. Is it because you still can’t fully trust me?”
Chapter 12 Snatching Endorsements
Kevin reached out and touched her head allowing himself to calm down completely: “I really want you…you don’t know how charming you are like this; however, I want all of you both body and soul. I’ll wait until you’re sure.”
Lilian nodded then held onto Kevin’s left hand saying: “It’s been so long since anyone has
respected me like this.”
The next morning, the headline about the fight between two models from Rainer Entertainment had been replaced by other hot topics in the social section. The scandal between Brent and Hillary was temporarily covered up by a public relations statement. Such sensational entertainment news often came and went quickly. However… due to Lilian’s proactive attitude of taking responsibility, she gained many new fans who began digging
into her past works.
No one realized that Lilian was rapidly “coming back” in some way.
Especially after her performance at the Crown Star fashion show, Lilian outperformed any popular model. Her new fans were unwilling to let Lilian be buried like this, so they spread various versions of videos while contacting hf company. After seeing the video, hf company was surprised by Lilian’s beauty, especially when they saw photos of her dynamic movements with jewelry; it seemed as if they were made for each other…
The designer at hf hesitated because he was angry about Rainer Entertainment’s deception
before. But after thinking it over carefully, he found that Lilian’s temperament and
professionalism were more suitable for Crown Star’s theme.
Moreover, because of Lilian’s attitude of admitting mistakes, hf had some trust in her.
Therefore, senior executives at hf quickly held a meeting to discuss changing their spokesperson and finally…they called Mr. Alexander’s office at Rainer Entertainment.
“Mr. Fitzgerald, Hillary will recover soon from her injury and won’t delay our product
launch event…”
“No, that is not what we want, Mr.Brent. We request to replace our spokesperson with
Lilian instead of Hillary!”
Brent was completely stunned after hearing this: “No, Mr.Fitzgerald, this is inappropriate.”
“We haven’t officially signed a contract yet; if we can’t have Lilian as our spokesperson then we would rather seek cooperation with another company.”
“We have other models whose popularity is higher than Hillary’s.”
“We only want Lilian.”
The other party was very firm, leaving Brent with no chance to argue. However, this endorsement was supposed to help Hillary win the Top Ten Annual Awards. Unexpectedly, it would be a huge benefit for Lilian instead. This would definitely drive Hillary crazy.
Sylvia also received news from her sources that hf had called Brent’s office and requested to replace their spokesperson with Lilian. When she spoke to Lilian, she seemed particularly happy: “Lilian, you have an endorsement!”
“Don’t get too excited yet; Hillary won’t give up easily.” Lilian wasn’t floating on cloud nine because everything was under her control.
