Chapter 678 - Six Hundred And Seventy-eight: The Deal (1/2)

The third point of view:

”I'm sorry,”

”Excuse me?” Mackenzie was taken aback by her comment.

”I'm sorry but madam Reina made it explicitly clear to me that she wouldn't want any distraction for her son, Neon” She emphasized the word 'distraction'.

”So,” Ailee went on, ”If you are determined to make Neon yours, you'd have to get permission from madam Reina. So tell me, are you up for the challenge?”

Mackenzie's face distorted, this was not what she expected. It seems she had underestimated her.

”We'd see then,” The model forced a smile on her face and left elegantly.

The moment Mackenzie got to her seat, she eyed Ailee who was now going through a magazine, and called over her assistant, ”Get everything you can on her,”

”Why?” Her assistant was surprised. She had thought Mackenzie would resolve everything with Jade since she was used to having her own way.

”Why?” Mackenzie scowled at her assistant who dared to question her intention, ”Just shut up and do what I asked you to,”

”Sure, I would do so,” The girl nodded and left right away to continue her duties.

Mackenzie couldn't explain it but she felt that Jade was not an ordinary person to have threatened her with Reina. As daring as employees are, they wouldn't use their boss's name for fear of getting reported. But not Jade, and she had even called Reina's name with ease. That meant she had some sort of special relationship with Reina or Reina treated her too well to the point she got comfortable with her son, Neon.

She was restless, Mackenzie knew she had to react before other models snatched this opportunity from her. She was not a fool to think she was the only one with such plans.

At the same time, Ailee dropped the magazine she had been reading and went to a corner of the studio to make a call.

It was funny that at the end of the day she was calling her twin brother that she swore not to speak to for the rest of this week because of his attitude. But then, if there's anybody who can help her with this, it was no other than the great Allen.

”Come on, pick up!” She had to hurry up before that nuisance of a model picked up something on her. From the way they had parted, Ailee knew she would definitely look into her.

Although she was hopeful, it still came as a surprise to her when her brother finally picked her call.

”Thirty unanswered calls, do I have to write it in that neanderthal brain of yours that I don't want to speak to you,” Allen retorted with a bored tone from the other side of the line.

Ailee rolled her eyes, ”Well, congratulations if that's the case because I wouldn't have called at all if I didn't need your help right now,”

He snorted, ”You need my help?”

”Yes, asshole, I need your help,” Ailee said through gritted teeth. God, if it wasn't the fact that this was urgent, she wouldn't have gone to him for help.

”Fine, let's see if it's something that I can be able to help out with and of course, consideration of my remuneration,” his tone held a trace of mischief.

Of course, her brother was going to rip her off since he had not gotten such an opportunity in a long time.

”So tell me, sister, what do you want?”

”Fine,” Ailee sighed, ”I'm kind of going undercover right now and I need a false identity. In one word, the people here can't find my info,” she went ahead to explain everything to him.
