Gisele held all the forms in her hand and secretly sighed in relief.
They had all signed it.
Her plans to seductively lure these folks into signing their room had worked flawlessly than she had expected. She had thought it would take a lot of effort to make them fall and might also require a few Physical contact but she had not even stood from the chair was was seating and yet the deal was done. Who knew she could be this good at acting as a seductress? Perhaps she really had a bright destiny if she was to go into acting. It was still probably all thanks to her face. Days like this really made her wish she had seen the face of the man that passed down such looks to her.
Sigh!
The game started and just like she planned, she lost to CEO Ulan.
"Wow, Handsome is more capable than me. Say does your prowess count on all grounds?it Shou be right?" With a helpless yet intrigued face, she complimented his prowess. Fanning flames of lust that had yet to tone down, with a broad smile. In truth, Gisele felt like biting her tongue and passing out while puking blood as she ordered Daniel to transfer the money to CEO Ulan's account. She really felt like crying, that five million was all that was left of the money Mr Collins had paid her, she had used a few make arrangements for the upcoming fashion show.
She planned on signing up as a designer. Her design were ready but she couldn't just apply by submitting design drafts could she?
Every company would signed up by presenting an already finished product of what they made, be it Jewelries or dresses. She had contacted an average fashion studio and had hired their services to make her designs come to life. To make the dresses stand out at the event, everything has to be top grade and of the highest quality else it would meet nobody's standard and a top company like GXJ would not even take not of her. In the end she had settled for the costly materials and they swept half the funds in her account away. With her design, she was sure she would skyrocket to fame after the show and would definitely get a lot or offers and orders but until then she could only continue to be the pauper that she was.
This five million was all the money that was left with her. Brenda and her brother hadd been unable to raise the money CEO Ulan had sent to the hospital to pay for their mother's fees, the hospital was also refusing to return the money so she had no choice but to fork it out from her own pockets. Seeing her money depart like this really pained her heart.
Just when she was about feeling disheartened, a familiar figure entered her eyes. It was her step father Raoul, making his way into the room.
What a pleasant surprise!
This was what people described as enemies meeting at crossroads.
As Gisele conversed with the man on the table, her eyes stealthily followed Raoul across the room. She watched him take his seat with some men at a table and begin gambling with them.
Suddenly she couldn't help but feel the urge to test out her defrauding skill on him. Wouldn't it be good if she could snuff out some cash from him?.
Being intrigued by the thought, her first move was to send her first targets away. She had already made plans earlier of a way to send these men away with their minds full. No matter how infatuated they were by her, they would still have to regretfully leave her behind. Why wouldn't they. Can someone chase rats when their house was on fire?
She dug out her phone and sent a string of messages. In the next second, it was CEO Ulan's phone that rang.
He excused himself to pick the call. It didn't take long and he came back but showed no intentions to sit. Looking at Gisele he was clearly reluctant to leave but he had to attend to a pressing issue.
"Miss_" He started but realized he had not even gotten to know her name since they met.
"Miss Camille" The girl dug out her card from her purse and handed it to him. He too passed his to Gisele.
"CEO Ulan? Otome magazine?" She asked with a sudden delight in her voice.
"Have you heard of me Miss Camille?"
Gisele nodded and showed a bright smile "more than that, I am a loyal fan or your work, also a fervent subscriber to your magazine. It has always been a wish to meet the founder in person and I must say, I am more than pleased. My second wish is getting to know you on other grounds" Her comment not only boasted the man's ego but also his desires. Anyone who loved his work was equally an dirty minded person and such ladies are just his type.
"Then why don't we make arrangements to fulfill that wish?" He asked in confidence. No part of him imagined that she would not jump at an opportunity to be on his bed.
"Let's see" Gisele said. She held her chin and pretended to mentally cross-check her schedule, after a while, her face lit up "let's meet four days from now. Casper Hotel, room 124. I have a reservation there and should be free that day. I'll ditch my husband so we should have the whole weekend to ourselves"
The man thought of the offer. It was a full four days apart from this night but he could accept it, especially when she had proposed for the whole weekend. Compared to the two days of proposed excitement, a four days wait was nothing. He agreed and then signalled his directors that it was time to Leave.
Gisele was not surprised to see them leave together. Earlier on she had texted Brenda to go one with phase two of their plans. By now there should be a bunch of police officers at Otome company building, requesting for the access to search the whole body. Surprising, the police station had received a call that laid a compliant of kidnap and sexual assault. With the forces on their doorstep, how could the CEO and his director sit still and do nothing. They had no choice but to rush to the location.
With them gone, Gisele was left with here grand scheme. Unfortunately for her oblivious stepfather, he was no different from a lamb that had walked unto the sacrificial alter with it's own too feet.
Listening to his conversation at the table not too far away from hers, she got a vital information. The Andres company was doing so bad lately that he couldn't sit still any longer, So he was looking for a company to collaborate with. Both news got her delighted. The mere thought of the Andres family doing poorly brought joy to her heart, plus Raoul's desperation made him an easy target for some that were also looking to defraud people in the room.
She would be an unfilial daughter if she let such sweet water flow into others backyard. He had money to spend? Well she had a purse to receive them into too!
Gisele repositioned herself to a place he would unintentionally have no choice but to eavesdrop on her phone call. She picked her phone simultaneously and began faking a call.
"Ahh Mr Van Meyers, I'm most grateful you helped me approve this client's contract. His company is doing really well now from signing that once contract with your company... What hefty price? A few millions in exchange for a contract with MX, he was more than willing to pay it. In the end he gained from it. He really has you to thank for that"
"sure sure, I'll look out for such companies. Only a few would be willing to pay the price but I'm sure a collaboration with MX corporation would be more enticing. My husband had been getting some offers lately, we'll look through them shortly and propose your next client... Sure we'll let them know, ten million Shou not be a big deal compared to your services" She spoke at length with his imaginary Van meyers who was a reputable director in MX corporation. She pretended like she didn't know a certain person had cut his conversation to listen to hers.
By the time she dropped the call and prepared to leave, Raoul left his game and ran to catch her.
"Hello Excuse me Miss!" He shouted to get her attention and stop her from walking away further. Gisele stopped but didn't immediately turn. A triumphant smile naturally stretched across her lips.
Bingo! The target had bitten the bait!
Slowly she turned to reveal her drop dead gorgeous face. For a second, Raoul was taken off course, if he wasn't intended to propose a deal with this lady, he might just have gone ahead to flight with her instead.
