"Go ahead. What is it?" She was direct.
"I want to ask if you have any famous artistes on your hands now, the kind that can be on the international red carpet?"
She looked up at me. "Didn’t you ask me to start from the bottom? Do you think I'd have access to such artistes now?"
She glared at me as if she was laughing at my stupidity.
"Is there anything you ever had to wait and queue for?" I looked over at her.
Did she not grab everything she wanted with ease before?
How could she be so disciplined now?
This was not her style.
Seemingly awakened by my words, Cindy had a different look in her eyes.
"What do you need to do?"
"I need to help Theo with something."
When I took Cindy downstairs at noon, Theo's car was already parked in front of the door. He rolled down the window to say hello to me, then saw Cindy next to me with a somewhat unnatural smile.
Cindy saw him and called out to him indifferently, then there was no more interaction after that.
Theo nodded slightly as a response.
We walked toward the car, opened the door, and sat in the backseat naturally.
To be honest, I was apprehensive, but we had to accept the change eventually. I was not completely sure I could control Cindy's behavior, but I did need her help now.
The car pulled up to the restaurant, and when we got to the booth, the three of us remained silent. "I'm going to the bathroom." Cindy politely left her seat.
"That's right. Nowadays, many celebrities and big stars place top priority on their security. There are even many small actors who aren’t famous, yet they bring along lots of bodyguards with them. This is proof enough.”
As Cindy spoke, she pulled up the usual news photos and put them in front of Theo.
"This morning, Wanda and I talked about it. Before that, we learned that many celebrity big shots no longer rely on manual security using manpower but on technology."
I took over and continued, "Not only that, but many of the industries that have to do with celebrities, such as jewelry and clothing, are the ones that will invest billions in security every year. The most important thing about this is that as long as we collaborate with them once, we'll be able to quickly catch everyone's eye."
Theo looked at the information in front of him and looked at the two of us. "You mean to give the Al a red carpet walk?"
"That's right. This is Wanda's idea. Since we can package artistes and with such good resources on hand, why not use them?
At this moment, Cindy's style of speaking made both Theo and I feel refreshed. It was as if the person standing in front of us had been transformed. She was no longer the childish little girl she once was.
I looked at Theo proudly. "We underestimated Cindy before. The business acumen she possesses is far beyond our imagination."
