Vicky thought about it. "Naturally, we'll wait and do it when the Salazars start selling the Beauty Pill.""Wait, are you serious?" Frank was stunned."Yes. I want to wipe the floor with them," Vicky said confidently.To be precise, she was brimming with confidence when it came to the Rejuvenation Pill. Still, she paused for a moment in thought and said, "However, there are still preparations to be made.""Preparations?" Frank asked in curiosity."The matter of the endorser, to be precise.""Who do you have in mind?"Vicky grinned as she sat down beside Frank. "You bailed out a famous star named Noel York earlier, didn't you? I'm planning to have her help, since she is in hot demand at the moment."Frank nodded in agreement—having a star celebrity promote a product was certainly effective. "Then why don't you reach out to her?""I'm planning to have you do it," Vicky replied. "You more or less saved her, didn't you? She'd certainly help with a little favor. Also, I'm a busy
The salesperson bowed to Frank and Janet before asking, "Sir, ma'am—I'm Lydia King, at your service. May I ask what models you may be interested in?"Lydia had started work for a month but had not made any sales yet—she would be fired by the end of the month if that continued. If anything, she was surprised that Marian, who topped sales last month, would hand the customers over to herself.They may appear young, but it was better than having no customers at all.Just then, the front doors opened as a balding middle-aged man strode in.Marian promptly approached him, "Oh, Mr. Larkin! So? Have you thought about the models I showed you last time?Mr. Larkin put an arm around her wrist, even giving her rump a good smack as he chuckled, "Oh, I'm here to buy alright! Though you'd have to give me a proper… Demo.""Of course. In fact, you can test drive it before you decide," Marian giggled, hiding a smile behind her palm.As they chattered away jovially, Frank frowned in the distance
After a while, Lydia returned with two contracts.Frank quickly signed them and had his card swiped for payment.Once the paperwork was done, Lydia handed them the car keys while asking, "Are you going to drive the car, or shall we deliver them to your residence?""I'll drive.""Okay. Shall we get the cars now, Mr. Lawrence?"Frank nodded and had Janet come along as Lydia led them to the warehouse.As they arrived, an E-class Mercedes stopped beside them, with Mr. Lambert and Marian alighting.Frank glanced at them, and saw that Marian's clothes were a mess even as she wrapped her hands around Mr. Lambert's arm."It's good, right?" she purred. "Shall we sign the sales contract right away?"Mr. Lambert, however, remained hesitant for a long while. "Yeah. It's good, but it just falls short of my expectations. I think I'll check out the others…"Marian was left staring at him. "The others? Well, if you don't like Mercedes, we have Maybachs too…"Mr. Lambert merely peered at one
On the other end of the line, Noel nodded in understanding. "Oh, Mr. Lawrence… Why have you called me? Is there anything you'd like to ask?""Actually, I'd like to ask you to endorse a pill," Frank said, scratching his head. "Your fee will be negotiable." "A pill?" Noel did a double take.She would have said yes if it were any other item, but pills were definitely a no-go.If there was an issue, her own reputation would be tarnished as well.After some thought, she decided to see what Frank's pill was all about—if it was good, she could certainly endorse it. "Why don't you come to my concert tonight? We can discuss the matter afterward.""Sure," Frank replied before asking for the address and hanging up.The fact that Noel was willing to meet him was good enough, since the value of the Rejuvenation Pill went without saying.He could also check out the concert while he was there. After all, he had nothing else to do and would have to wait until the concert was over to see Noel
Winter smiled awkwardly. "I guess…"She had no idea what Frank's specific occupation was, but she was sure that he was someone very important.That was when the girl sitting beside Jean snorted in disdain, and Frank noticed her hair was permed thoroughly."What's so impressive about owning a company? Zeb's family owns one two," Aria said, before turning to the boy with them. "Right, Zeb?""Oh, that's my parents' accomplishment," Zeb Larkin said humbly. "I can't take credit for it."Aria was fawning all over him nonetheless. "You're a single child—your parents' may well be yours."Zeb smiled before nudging Frank again. "Come on. Let's trade seats."Frank had actually forgotten about that for a moment.He was perfectly fine with sitting anywhere since the youngsters were all classmates.But once again, Winter caught his wrist before he could get up."Frank, you can sit right here," she said before turning toward Zeb. "It's been a while since Frank and I met, and we'd like to ca
Frank nodded. "Of course. Didn't I mention that I came to see Noel about a business proposition? Asking for a few autographs along with it isn't an issue.""That's amazing!" Jean exclaimed.With that, Frank led them to the concert backstage. Once he mentioned his name to the security guards, he went unimpeded and soon found Noel there removing her makeup.It was the first time the girls behind him got up close and personal with a star celebrity, and they were all chattering excitedly."My goodness… I didn't know she'd be that beautiful without makeup too!""That's a star celebrity for you. Even their bare face is amazing!"On the other hand, Noel lifted her gown when she saw Frank. "Welcome, Mr. Lawrence."She hooked an arm through his before turning toward the others with him. "And they are…?""Oh," Frank turned toward Winter. "This is my sister and her college friends. They are your fans, and they'd like an autograph, so I brought them here."Noel flashed a bewitching smile
Noel could feel a stream of warmth unfurling within her stomach.She had been exhausted after the concert, but her fatigue vaporized as soon as she took the Rejuvenation Pill.However, a grayish substance also began to seep out of her skin, and she exclaimed in shock. "It's the waste substance within your body. You just need to wash it off."In reality, the Rejuvenation Pill was a pill that improved a normal person to the level of a martial artist, refining their physique.Naturally, excess substances in the body would be removed."I see. I'll take a bath first," Noel said and hurried to the bathroom.After cleaning up, she looked at herself in the mirror and found her skin fair and smooth, just like a newborn!If anyone did not know better, they would think that she had applied powder to her cheeks."My goodness…" Noel gasped as she caressed her face—this was a miracle pill!She quickly got dressed and hurried outside before telling Frank right away, "I have no issue endors
Noel was utterly unhappy with Vera's attitude.However, despite her outburst and demand for his gang to leave, Vera sat on the couch instead, with two of his boys standing behind him.He then took out a bottle with the Beauty Pill. "Don't turn us down so quickly, Ms. York. If anything, you're lucky that we took an interest in you. After all, this Beauty Pill that we've developed on our own is a skincare product tailored for women. Try it—we won't bother you if it's ineffective."Noel was taken aback as she stared at the bottle on the table.It was like everything passed for cosmetic products these days."I'm sorry," she said. "I've already taken another endorsement deal and I have too much on my plate at the moment."Bang!Noel was left flinching as Vera suddenly slammed his fist on the table and growled coolly, "I guess you don't know how powerful Salazar Group is, Ms. York. We can kill you anytime we want.""What…" Noel was gritting her teeth in frustration.These people we
