10 Sherrys offer (2/2)

”I got a call from Ladder's and from Sherry's manager” Paul informed.

”What did they say?” Marcel asked.

”Sherry's manager wanted to offer you 150,000 dollars” Paul said calmly. When Marcel heard what he said he choked on his spit. After having a coughing fit, Marcel was able to compose himself once more.

”150,000?” Marcel asked incredulously.

”Yes, ladder's is offering an idol contract rather than a modeling one.

”Forget ladder's for now. I had explicitly told them that I was not interested in being a singer. Since they disregarded me I will reciprocate” Marcel said cheerfully making Paul wonder if he was talking to the same person.

”Can you help me contact Sherry?” Marcel asked. Contrary to his expectations Paul tossed his phone at him rather than try to call the manager himself.

Marcel saw that Paul saved the manager as Sherry's manager so he did not have a hard time looking for his name.

Marcel promptly called Sherry's manager and agreed to meet that day to discuss what exactly they wanted him to do during the filming of the music video and also receive a script for the video. After he finished with his conversation he saw that Paul was looking at him with a weird expression.

”What?” Marcel asked since he was getting more uncomfortable with Paul's gaze.

”I don't understand, why won't you consider the idol contract?” Paul asked.

”Well the amount of work that goes into the whole thing is ridiculous” Marcel answered like it was something obvious making Paul look at him strangely.

”If you want a more relaxed life I will have to burst your bubble now. All professions will require a lot of work. You being a singer is like a pie falling from the sky, you will be propelled into popularity almost immediately and with your looks, even if you sit and do nothing you'll still get fans. But you can't compare the fans you will get through modeling to those you will get if you become an idol.” Paul said.

”Heh, I understand that, but being an idol is too much, I don't think I can deal with the constant pressure and the spotlight. I'd rather deal with the diets that i'll have to do when i'm a model” Marcel said with a smile

”Suit yourself” Paul said before he left in confusion.

”Wait, can I use your photos?” Paul asked Marcel as he stopped mid way.

”Sure, but 250 dollars is too cheap” Marcel said.

”I'll owe you a favor” Paul said

”Three and irs a deal” Marcel said.

”Whatever” Paul agreed and continued walking away.
