Chapter 292

Eloise’s face darkened. She couldn’t believe Stephanie was using such a confrontational tone with her, especially after putting up with her antics for so long during their previous advertisement shoot. “What a joke, acting all high and mighty. If you can’t find a reference, just admit it.”

Stephanie didn’t want to argue with her and turned to leave.

“Ms. Reed is so beautiful and elegant. How could someone like her be turned away? I think I’m qualified to be her reference. Ill help her get the card, Simon Gower said.

Stephanie’s beautiful face twisted slightly in frustration. Maintaining a gentle smile and exuding refined charm, Simon watched her closely, curious about her anger.

With this new wealthy patron around, Eloise flashed her trademark supermodel smile and acted like she knew him well. “Mr. Gower, Steffi is new to this industry. She’s a bit shy and reserved. Please bear with her. If she makes any mistakes, I hope you’ll forgive her.”
