Chapter 73
Everyone in the room was shocked, especially Peter.
His camera was worth millions, and it stored a whole
day’s worth of hard work!
He kneeled on the floor and cradled his broken
camera with trembling hands.
Though there was a small cut on Tiffany’s forehead, it
did not matter to her. Immediately, she hung her
head low and continuously blurted, “I’m so sorry! I
didn’t mean it…! I really didn’t mean it! Let me know
how much this camera cost, and I’ll compensate for it
no matter the cost!”
“How can you compensate me?! The camera contains
all the footage from everyone’s hard work today!”
It was the first time Peter got angry at a beautiful
lady, and the first time he felt like hitting a woman.
As her eyes turned glossy, Tiffany kept bowing at
everyone around her, apologizing again and again.
“I’m so sorry! My manager didn’t see where she was
going… It’s all our fault. I’ll compensate for your
camera, your photos, and even your advertising fees.
I’ll even compensate for your salaries; three days’
worth of sales. I’ll guarantee that my second shoot
will be better than today’s. Please, can you forgive
me? I’m begging you
Tiffany looked very much pitiable, coupled with her
faltering voice. It evoked a strong sense of sympathy
for her.
The manager heard this and forced himself t o calm
down. “Just arrange for another shoot tomorrow,” he
grumbled once he managed to compose himself.
Good art would require the right time, place, and
people; all the stars need to align. He knew that such
a perfect photo today might not be successfully
replicated tomorrow. His decision came from a place
without much of a choice; he did not have any.
Tiffany saw the impatient crowd and bowed again.
“Thank you! I’m sorry for creating such trouble. I’ll be
even more hardworking tomorrow!”
She sounded humble and gentle, but as she lowered
her head, no one could see the determination and fire
in her eyes. She resolved that Charmine would not
have a smooth photoshoot tomorrow! Charmine
could not stay here anymore!
At this moment, Charmine emerged from the
changing room. The manager walked to her and said,
with sorrow in his voice, “Ms. Charmine, I’m terribly
sorry. Our camera and SD card have been badly From NôvelDrama.Org.
damaged… Today’s shoot has gone bust. I’m so sorry,
but you have to do it again tomorrow.”
“What?” Charmine frowned.
Tiffany hurriedly approached her and whimpered,
“Charmine, please don’t be angry. It’s not their fault.
It’s all my fault; I broke the camera. I’ll cover your
salary tomorrow and even give you an extra million.
Please agree to come for the shoot tomorrow, and
please don’t be angry.”
She looked utterly pathetic as she pleaded.
Charmine glanced at Peter who was sitting o n the
ground. She swept together some broken pieces and
said, “I’m sorry, but I can’t do it tomorrow.”
What? The crowd looked at Charmine with anger in
their eyes.
It was indeed Tiffany’s fault, but Tiffany had
apologized and even groveled to this extent. I f
Tiffany—a top model—could agree to a reshoot, what
on earth was Charmine—a newcomer—thinking by
refusing to reshoot?
The manager sternly chastised her, “Ms. Charmine,
this was entirely unexpected, and we don’t want this
to happen either. It’s very unfortunate, but the SD
card was destroyed. They can’t be used, and we have
no choice but to reshoot.”
“Who said it can’t be used?” Charmine walked toward
Peter and took the SD card from his hand.
The crowd was hushed as Charmine walked toward
the computer. The crowd glanced at each other
nervously.
