The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 496

Chapter 496

Corinne smiled and replied, “Yes, Ma’am. I can tell that you know a lot about fashion if you could immediately identify the clothing brand at first glance!”

Missus Benet maintained her graceful and unsmiling expression. “I was present at the fashion show where Comi first introduced this dress to their lineup, and it left quite a strong impression on me. You have very good taste, young lady, and this dress looks amazing on you. I’d even go so far as to say that it looks much better on you than on the models.”

Corinne did not show any awkwardness after being praised and smiled heartily. “Thank you for the compliment, Missus Benet.”

Missus Benet had much admiration for the way Corinne carried herself. She scanned Corinne. again, then finally looked into the young woman’s eyes as she offered, “My name is Mindy, and I’m the editor-in-chief of the weekly magazine ‘Fashion Pyramid’. Would you be interested in modeling for the pages of our magazine?”

Corinne’s height was 168 centimeters. Although she was not tall, her figure had good proportions, and her appearance was even more desirable in the industry due to her delicate yet energetic-looking facial features.

However, she politely declined and said, “I’m sorry, Ma’am. I’ve just joined Mister Lucas’s company, and I have no plans to change jobs at the moment.”

Missus Benet had a somewhat pitiful expression in her eyes. “It’s a shame for such a beautiful young lady to work as a secretary.”

Corinne smiled slightly in return. “It’s such a great honor to receive your admiration, and although I won’t switch jobs, I can always help out after-hours if your company requires me for a photo shoot.”

She then looked at her boss Lucas in a very respectful manner and asked for permission. “1 should be able to work part-time after-hours, right?”

Before Lucas could say anything, Missus Benet acted in her capacity as Lucas’s elder and said, You don’t need to ask him. He wouldn’t dare to refuse. He has no reason to say no when his aunt is just borrowing the help of his company’s employee! Your name’s Corinne, right? Leave your number with me and I’ll contact you later.”

There was nothing Lucas could say as he still had to show some courtesy to his aunt. Corinne took the cell phone that Missus Benet handed over and saved her cell phone number in the contact list.

The smile on Anya’s face froze, and she nodded with a slightly hurt expression. “Okay. I guess I thought too highly of myself, thinking that I could be of help to you…”

Rosie could not bear to see her best friend being looked down upon, so she stood up for Anya and said, “Isn’t Anya beautiful enough? Did you forget that she participated in the Miss World beauty pageant before and even made it to the finals? Had she not withdrawn from the competition due to health reasons, she would’ve been crowned Miss World that year!”

“So what if she’s crowned Miss World?”

Missus Benet glanced insipidly at Rosie and then turned to look at Anya. Her sharp eyes seemed to express her disappointment that there was nothing about Anya that could be appreciated.

“Anya is beautiful, but she lacks a certain carefree, easygoing, and confident temperament. She doesn’t strike anyone as being ‘unforgettable’-a quality that I value greatly.

“Fashion Pyramid’s market position focuses on uniqueness, freedom, and distinctness- qualities that Anya lacks. There is no need for her to push herself either. She should just stay at home and take good care of her health.”
