Episode 2
The Arrival of Black Rose.
Recap: The Vegas family traveled to New York for a Vogue photoshoot with Lander Spencer. Black Rose may be coming to Sownsville.
Sam dreamed she was wearing a dark pink costume. She saw Laspa again, but this time he was much closer, silently staring at her. A strange noise echoed in the background.
Sam suddenly woke up.
"Good morning, Miss Samantha Vega. Miss Bani instructed me to wake you up. It's time for your workout training," Nathalie said.
"Okay, I'll get ready. Where is the gym? I think I need to wash my face first," Sam replied.
"It's downstairs. If you need anything, just call me," Nathalie answered.
"Well, I may need a face mask too. There might be people there, and I want to avoid being recognized," Sam said.
"Actually, there's no need for that," Nathalie said with a smile. "Mr. Lander Spencer has paid for all your expenses. He's also the part-owner of this five-star hotel, and he has booked the entire hotel for this photoshoot."
"Oh, okay," Sam replied..
What about my sisters and Miss bani? Sam asked
Your sisters are still sleeping while Miss bani and Mr. Lander Spencer are having a business meeting and negotiations at the lounge so you could head downstairs first your sisters would meet you downstairs replied Nathalie.
Okay, I will brush my teeth and freshen up then go to the gym Sam said.
Natalie said okay.
Meanwhile at the lounge
Miss bani and Mr. Lander Spencer are in a business negotiation.
"Mr. Lander Spencer, I truly appreciate your generous hospitality," Miss Bani began.
"However, business is business. Once the fashion campaign is complete and reaches its target audience, I propose that we split the profits equally. A fifty-fifty partnership seems fair."
Lander Spencer smiled politely.
"Don't you think it's a little early to discuss profits? The photoshoot hasn't even concluded yet. Besides, I don't believe an equal split reflects our individual contributions. I covered the travel arrangements, reserved the entire hotel, and handled most of the financial investment. I believe a sixty-forty split would be more appropriate."
Miss Bani shook her head.
"Mr. Lander Spencer, I respectfully disagree with your assessment that you contributed the most. While your financial investment is significant, my company provided the creative vision, the designs, the resources, and the talent that make this campaign possible. Without those, there would be no fashion show. For that reason, I believe a fifty-fifty split is the fairest arrangement. I'm afraid that's my final offer. If we can't reach an agreement on those terms, we'll have to end our negotiations."
Silence settled over the room for a few moments as Lander Spencer considered her proposal.
Finally, he nodded.
"Very well, Miss Bani. I accept your offer. Fifty-fifty it is."
A warm smile appeared on Miss Bani's face.
"I'm glad we've reached an agreement. Now, shall we discuss the possibilities of expanding into foreign markets after the campaign?"
Mr. Lander Spencer replied" That is true".
Nathalie approaches lander Spencer and greet Miss bani by bowing slightly.
Nathalie leaned toward Lander Spencer and whispered into his ear.
His confident smile faded for the briefest moment.
"Are you certain?" he whispered back.
Nathalie gave a slight nod.
Across the table, Miss Bani noticed the exchange but chose not to pry.
"Could you excuse me Miss bani?
I have something urgent to attend to but I would be back " Lander Spencer said.
"Okay". Miss bani replied as Lander Spencer and Nathalie leaves and a waiter comes to serve Miss bani tea.
He leaves and goes to his private suite with Nathalie behind him.
In the private suite
