Spoiled by the Silver Fox

"Yeah, this company pays the fastest, all at once... even though it's just over 500,000..."

Stephanie looked up at the sky helplessly and said, "Well, let's do it then... We've already signed the contract, there's no other choice."

Gracie was amused by her reaction and laughed, "Come on, your teacher also did these kinds of ads when she first started out... Back then, she was broke and had no connections! She relied entirely on herself, her life was even harder than yours. Only later did she gradually become popular and her life improved."

Stephanie felt a bit comforted.

"Really? My teacher did these ads too?"

"Why would I lie to you? The situation was different back then... Many rural families still used chamber pots... I still have the ad papers that were stuck on them!"

"Ha... Alright, I accept it. If my teacher went through it, why can't I?"

Just gotta suck it up!

Gotta have a thick skin... And these ads are easy to shoot, not much dialogue.

Just take some photos, print them out, and stick them on the product as ads.

As for the sock ads, they're not difficult either... Stephanie thought.

But what she never expected was... Apart from short socks, there were also long stockings... All different colors, all needing to be shot.

Stockings required showing off legs... According to Gracie, this company offered the highest ad fees.

There was a 500,000 upfront payment, followed by 800,000 more. As long as the ad was well-shot and the spokesperson did a good job generating sales... For every pair of socks sold afterward, Stephanie would receive 0.1% of the profits... After shooting ads for over a week and running around with Gracie, Stephanie finally managed to pay back Mrs. Palmer's 2 million debt.

As for Gracie's money, she owed it for now... No rush.

With Gracie's help, it wasn't difficult for Stephanie to make money quickly.

At least her creditor Gracie wasn't in a hurry at all.

In the blink of an eye, the weekend arrived.

After finishing her last ad, Stephanie rushed back to celebrate Sebastian's birthday.

Marilyn and Judith had started preparing early, planning to cooka big meal and buy a birthday cake to celebrate Sebastian's birthday together in the evening.

But unexpectedly, not long after Sebastian returned home, the Ingram family's old house called him over.

Frowning, Sebastian looked at Judith and Marilyn busy in the kitchen and told Martin, "Tell your mom and Mrs. Bishop I'll be back later. And Stephanie... Just stay here."

Martin was invited by his mom to join the dinner, to make the birthday celebration more lively.

Hearing this, Martin nodded and said, "Alright, Mr. President, don't worry."

In fact, Sebastian had never looked forward to his birthday every year.

But today was different... His fiancee had prepared a birthday gift for him.

He returned home early after work just to wait for her to finish her last ad shoot and come back with the gift.

This anticipation of a birthday gift was something he had only experienced when his father was still alive.

Back then, his father would carefully prepare a birthday gift for him every year.

But since his father's death, he had never expected anyone else to give him a gift. Stephanie was the first person he looked forward to receiving a gift from.

Even though he already knew what she was going to give him, he still looked forward to the feeling other personally handing the gift to him.

At the school gate, the driver picked up Stephanie in the car.

She greeted the driver with a smile and got in.

She didn't notice the two shadows that suddenly appeared behind her. They quickly opened the car door, one of them got in the front seat, pointing a knife at the driver's abdomen. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

The other one got in the back seat, staring intently at her.
