Veronica gave a polite smile in return. "President Ludwig, you're flattering me."
"You're not that bad. I've seen the video, and you've done pretty well. There are just some flaws that we can start polishing from now on," commented Sean.
She felt a little resigned when she heard his words as a tad of disappointment seeped into her voice. "Then, I'll be in your care, President Ludwig."
It was understandable as she had never been on a runway show before. Thus, she was satisfied to have received such a compliment alone.
"That is not a big problem. Let's settle down with the contract first." Sean dived straight into the point. "Since Ruka is here, I'll be honest with the pay that we can offer you. Your basic salary will be 10,000 with additional commissions during the one-month probation. Once you've completed the probation, we'll increase your salary to 20,000, and the commission will be gauged based on your performance."
"Thank you, President Ludwig." Veronica was content with the considerable amount of pay that came with additional commissions.
"You'll have to work five days a week with three to five hours per day. Besides, you have to make some short clips for promotion purposes. Any objections?"
"Everything's good." She gladly accepted it, considering that the pay was great enough.
Above all, she had sufficient time to focus on improving her career development, which was of utmost importance. She actually didn't have to find another job because share speculation would be her best option to invest her money. However, she had no choice but to look at the bigger picture as things were different right now.
Since she and Sean agreed on the terms of the contract, they signed it in no time. It was a one-year-long contract, which meant that Veronica would work under the agency for a year after probation. If she failed to complete the probation, she would be required to leave at any time. Of course, she would have a hectic schedule ahead of her because of the many training sessions during her probation.
After that, Ruka, who was with them the whole time, looked at Sean with arms crossed. "I introduced someone talented to you. Shouldn't you buy me a meal?"
"How would I forget about you?" Sean smiled. "Let's go. I'll give you guys a tour around the company. Veronica should familiarize herself with the environment from now on."
The two ladies trailed behind him as they toured around the company, comprising four floors with meeting rooms, photo studios, offices, makeup rooms, waiting rooms, and so on. Given the company's size, it was only natural that there would be many employees bustling about.
The trio then had a meal together. As Sean knew that Veronica was the godgranddaughter of Elizabeth, he was pretty friendly to Veronica without the arrogance of a superior.
Afterward, the ladies thanked him for the meal and went home.
Veronica started working with her laptop turned on as she sat on the couch. Recently, she had been having online meetings with the workers as she didn't have the time to stop by Vincere Games, resulting in growing disapproval of her attitude by one of the shareholders.
As soon as she thought about the shareholders, she could feel an impending migraine. She suddenly came to a realization that having Vincere Games and the bridal store in the same building wasn't a good idea after all.
She went to the bridal store at noon, where the renovation was still ongoing, and she shared a brief conversation with Grayson before heading to Vincere Games.
There were a total of three shareholders. Besides Veronica, who possessed the majority shares and final say in decision makings, Jayden Stoll and Shawn Adler were the other two shareholders. In contrast, Shawn had the least shares, with only 10%.
