"Ivana just called and said that she's coming too. I think she has something to discuss with you," said Yvonne when she suddenly thought of something.
Just as Yvonne said that, someone said 'hi' and walked over. "Sorry to keep you guys waiting. I got off work late."
"Take a seat. I just arrived too," Veronica greeted her with a smile.
Ivana placed her bag on the seat and sat next to Veronica casually. "It's only been two months since I met you.
How did you lose so much weight?
Your jawline is so sharp that you probably can cut fruits with it!"
Her little joke elicited laughter among themselves.
After exchanging a few customary greetings, the trio chatted while waiting for the rest of the food to be served.
"Yvonne said you have something to tell me?" Veronica inquired straightforwardly.
Ivana, who was holding a piece of sushi and dipping it in the sauce, paused and put down her chopsticks. She then scooched near to Veronica and asked in a low voice, "I have a job in hand. Would you like to consider it?"
"What is it about?"
Veronica's eyes lit up when she heard that it was a money-making opportunity.
"What is it? Don't be so mysterious. Hurry up and tell us." Yvonne glared at Ivana while chewing on her tempura. She was getting impatient when Ivana intentionally built up suspense.
"Remember how Veronica helped me out at the jewelry show before? I met a business partner today who is going to organize an auto show and needs a famous model. I recommended Veronica to him, and he happily agreed."
After she finished speaking, she looked at Veronica again. "They're offering 4500 dollars for two hours. I wasn’t sure if you would agree to it, so I came over to ask your opinion."
"So little? It's freezing cold in winter! How could they only offer 4500 dollars of appearance fee?! That's not enough." Yvonne shook her head, grabbed a piece of salmon, and mumbled, "She's the boss of Encounters. How could she only be earning 4500?!"
Veronica mixed the sauce on her plate, thinking about it thoroughly.
Although 4500 was not a big sum, it was not a bad deal for two hours.
"When did you guys know what happened to me?" She suddenly raised her head, looked at Yvonne, and then looked at Ivana. Her sharp eyes were cold.
"I..."
Ivana was stunned for a moment before she threw Yvonne a look of help.
Chewing the food in her mouth, Yvonne pursed her lips and replied, "Bloomstead isn't a big place. Rumors spread easily through the walls. I don't know who started it, but in this circle, rumor has it that you and Matthew aren't getting along, and he's deliberately making things difficult for you."
Initially, Yvonne did not plan to tell Veronica about this, but she did not expect her friend to be so smart to catch on so quickly.
"Yeah. People in our company are also talking about it," Ivana echoed.
Veronica acted like it did not bother her as she continued eating her food.
For the past two months, she had been busy with Vincere Games and Encounters. Naturally, she had no time to pay attention to rumors and gossips.
If it was not for Ivana who mentioned to her about the auto show company offering 4500 to work as a car girl, she probably would not have thought about this matter.
After all, she was the godgranddaughter of Elizabeth. If she was only offered 4500 dollars for a one-time appearance, most people would worry that Veronica would be offended due to the cheap fee, and thus, indirectly offend the Kings Family.
Since the other party invited her to be a model and offered such a low price, Ivana must have said nice things about her in front of them.
If she analyzed it in detail, she was able to figure everything out.
