As the head of a prestigious modeling agency, Carly instantly recognized Janet’s potential and distinct design style. To her
astonishment, before she could even broach the subject of a collaboration, her fiercest competitor had also targeted the talented
designer. This development was utterly intolerable.
In a matter of moments, Carly arrived at a decision. “Miss White, I believe you possess immense potential as a designer. Would
you consider collaborating with our agency?” Caught off guard by the abrupt shift, Janet stammered,
“What? Collaboration?”
Carly nodded affirmatively. “Yes, our agency would like to work with you. If you require models in the future, you can prioritize
ours, and we’ll offer you the most competitive discounts.”
Intrigued by the proposition, Janet inquired, “Our studio does need models. What kind of discount can you provide, Mrs. Reed?”
As an emerging designer, Janet was desperate for models to showcase her creations. However, the caliber of models available
varied greatly, and their fees were typically steep.
Having recently founded her own studio, Janet’s budget couldn’t accommodate top-tier models. Carly’s unexpected proposal and
the potential for discounted rates presented a welcome solution to Janet’s predicament.
After a brief pause, Carly held up two fingers. “We can offer a rate two points below market price.”
Janet’s eyes sparkled at the enticing offer. “Really?”
Carly grinned, “I’m confident this will be a mutually beneficial partnership. Your design expertise should easily elevate our models
” popularity.”
With assurance, Janet extended her hand. “Mrs. Reed, I won’t let you down.”
With the agreement solidified, Carly departed with her grandmother.
Janet posted her latest design on her work account, but sadly, it garnered little attention and only a few comments.
Feeling disheartened, she refreshed the page repeatedly, but the situation remained unchanged.
The whirlwind of publicity surrounding her designs had subsided, and the public’s focus had swiftly shifted elsewhere.

Just as Janet was about to pocket her phone, a barrage of notifications erupted.
Her post had been inundated with comments, arriving in rapid succession, overwhelming her ability to keep up.
As she scrolled, Janet discovered the official account of W Marks had shared and liked her post, capturing users’ interest and
prompting the deluge of comments.
She was taken aback, recalling that Draco wasn’t one to be enthusiastic about social media. Could it be Elizabeth, the manager
of W Marks’ official account, who had shared her post?
With that thought, Janet promptly dialed Elizabeth’s number.
Elizabeth answered the phone promptly. “Janet, what’s going on?”
Anxious, Janet inquired, “Elizabeth, did you just share my post? Did Mr. Wesley approve it? Will this cause any problems for
you?”
Chuckling, Elizabeth reassured her, “Don’t worry, Mr. Wesley won’t mind. In fact, he’s been following your account all along but
kept quiet to avoid putting too much pressure on you. Now that everyone has seen your first independent design, they’re all
thrilled. Not only is it fine for me to share your post using W Marks’ official account, but Mr. Wesley might even personally
promote your studio on social media.”
Hearing this, Janet exhaled in relief and beamed, “Thank you!”
Simultaneously, Laney stumbled upon Janet’s post on her phone.
Witnessing her friend’s work receive such widespread acclaim, she clicked “like” and a proud smile graced her lips.
Teresa, passing by, noticed Laney grinning at her phone and couldn’t resist asking, “What’s caught your eye?”
