Chloe got back to the office, but Herschel's face was all she could think about. Why the hell was he avoiding her when he was clearly looking for her? Why was he acting so weird?
Work had her running around like a headless chicken, so she didn't have time to figure this mess out.
Herschel said he'd hole up at The Watson Hotel, so she could catch him there after work. Shouldn't be too late.
Katie and Miles killed it at the Paris Fashion Week. The dazzling outfits on the final day and Miles' killer makeup skills had the Starlight International talents turning heads all over.
The media couldn't get enough of them. The plan was to ride Winston's superstar wave, but now it seemed like Winston was the one riding their coattails. Looking at Winston's stony face on the magazine cover, Chloe chuckled bitterly. His ego must've taken a hit. He was definitely gonna give her a hard time when he came back.
She then had the Public Relations Department announce tomorrow's celebration at The Watson Hotel. Starlight International's reputation was skyrocketing, becoming the dark horse everyone in the entertainment and fashion industry was talking about.
Meanwhile, over at Infinity Media, things were gloomy as hell. Beverly and Jacob didn't exactly shine at the fashion week, but they didn't screw up either. They were just overshadowed by Starlight International's glowing success.
The overseas media didn't give them the time of day, and back home, if it weren't for Beverly snatching Jeanette's endorsement, they'd probably be totally ignored.
Right now, Infinity Media was obviously riding Starlight International's wave. And this wave was something neither Infinity Media nor RM wanted. They'd become the laughingstock instead.
Adding to the misery was yesterday's sudden drama at Austin's Hardware. Melinda from Infinity Media was now stuck between a rock and a hard place.
Compared to Starlight International, the mood at Infinity Media was rotten.
Especially when they heard Starlight International was throwing a celebration at The Watson Hotel, the staff at Infinity Media must've been squirming. That place was one of the rarest seven-star hotels in the world!
A celebration at a seven-star hotel? Damn, that was some envy-inducing stuff. Made some of them want to jump ship, didn't it?
Wendy, having returned from Starlight International yesterday, was seething. Seeing any news related to Starlight International today, on top of being overshadowed by the media, she was about to explode. And the people in the office? They were giving her a headache.
Early in the morning, Melinda stormed into the office.
“Tell me, do you have some personal beef with Chloe?” Melinda demanded, leaning on the desk, glaring at Wendy.
