Chapter 768 Take Back What She Said

Leanna clarified, "This is not what we had in mind when we recruited Daphne to be our brandambassador—"

"I know, but since she's your brand ambassador now, we cannot avoid going through the marketingnorms. Brand ambassadors and the products they promote go hand in hand," Aidan explained.

Even though she didn't understand what he meant, she felt his words made sense. As expected, shewas better suited for designing a product than dealing with marketing, promotions, and business tricksbecause those were his specialty. She eventually developed a headache from listening to him, so shestood up. "Okay. I'll get changed. Don't wait for me. You can head off first."

"Send me the address of the place later. If I end my day early, I'll pick you up," he offered.

"Okay," Leanna replied, smiling.

By the time she was done changing, he was gone. Then, she walked to the kitchen, opened therefrigerator, and retrieved a syringe and medication from the first-aid kit. At that moment, she heard thedoor open from a distance. So, she quickly turned around, and after she had finished her injection, shetossed the items into the trash bin.

"Nana, what are you doing?" Zoe asked from outside the kitchen.

Her voice made Leanna heave a sigh of relief as she walked out to the living room. "Nothing much. Iwas cleaning up the kitchen. Are you ready?"

Zoe nodded and replied, "Yes. Let's go."

After they had arrived at the studio, Zoe spent her whole morning working away. Since she could notfilm the advertisement on her own, they hired a few film assistants who greatly facilitated the process.

Meanwhile, the rain continued to fall outside in a light drizzle. They were relieved to be filming anindoor scene today because they would have had to postpone the shoot if it had been an outdoorscene.

However, Freddie was not in the studio that morning because he was not the type to work unlessnecessary. He only awoke around noon and went straight to the filming location.

After lunch, Leanna and Zoe made their way to where the filming would take place with the other teammembers.

While on her way, Zoe received a call that made her look extremely pale.

"What is it?" Leanna asked.

After hearing that, Zoe frowned with her phone in her hand. "The male model we hired had been in aminor car accident and was taken to the hospital. There's no way he can make it to the filming later."

"Is there anyone else we can get in?" Leanna asked.

"I'll ask around." However, no one could attend today's filming, even after Zoe inquired.

It's still raining outside, and we're supposed to begin filming in an hour. I doubt we'll make it in time.Leanna was racking her brain, trying to come up with a solution, when Zoe gave her a hesitant glance.

So, Leanna stared back at her, confused.

"The model's sole purpose is to set the mood and strike a few poses. We don't need a professional,"Zoe explained. "We just need someone hot."

Leanna was at a loss for words upon hearing that. She knew what Zoe was hinting at.

"Think about it," Zoe continued. "Given that we are in the jewelry industry, we cannot limit ourmarketing to women only; there is also a substantial market for products aimed at men. While wehaven't started developing a male-oriented line yet, we could start with a few hints for now. Whoknows? People might like it."

After hearing that, Leanna was silent momentarily before stating, "I don't know if he has a class thisafternoon."

"I'll ask him!" Zoe swiftly cried out, pulling out her phone. After a while, her eyes were sparkling aftergetting off the phone with Louis. "He says he's free to come over this afternoon." While saying that, herfingers were tapping away at her phone to send him the address of the filming location.

"Should we tell Daphne?" Leanna asked.

"Oh, right. I'll call her now. We can even replace out how close she is," Zoe commented. After that, shecalled Daphne.

"Are you there? We're just around the corner by the traffic light," Daphne answered upon picking up.

"We're almost there as well," Zoe said. "Actually, I have some news for you."

"What is it?"

"The model we hired beforehand won't be able to make it because he was involved in a minor caraccident while on his way over. We've called in another guy. Do you have any preferences for thepeople you work with? You can let us know. We'll help in any way we can to ensure a happy workingenvironment."

Daphne chuckled when she heard that. "Why would I be so picky about the people I work with? It's notlike we're filming a movie."

When it came to films and shows, her team would first screen out anyone with a bad reputation in theindustry or who was proven to be bad to associate with. In contrast, it did not matter who her co-starwas, as long as he could act, because the advertisement would not feature the male model prominentlydue to the female-focused nature of the brand.

"Okay. Thank you for being so flexible. Well... I've contacted all the models I can. None of them couldcome due to time constraints. That's why... I've asked Louis for help," Zoe said.

Daphne was rendered speechless upon hearing that. Is it too late to retract what I said earlier?

When Zoe did not hear a reply, she cleared her throat. "All right. We're nearly at the entrance. Let's talklater if you have any issues."

Daphne was too stunned to speak but eventually blurted out, "Okay." After hanging up, she rolled downthe window and took a deep breath, savoring the fresh air from outside.

"What happened, Ms. Daphne? Is there a problem with the shoot?" Fish asked.

She shook her head in response and replied, "It's fine. The shoot will go ahead as planned." Leannaand Zoe's choice seems reasonable to me. Louis is Leanna's younger brother, who also works in theindustry, so they naturally turn to him for assistance when they're in desperate need. Unfortunately, Ihaven't had time to mentally prepare for this meeting with him. At that moment, raindrops landed on herface, jarring her from her thoughts. So, she quickly rolled up the window and patted her cheeks to calmdown. It doesn't matter because this is just work, and overthinking it would make things more difficult.

Soon, the car pulled over at the filming location.

Daphne had just stepped out of the car when she noticed Leanna and Zoe had also arrived at thelocation.

After the group walked in, Freddie approached them and struck a pose as he inquired, "I hear yourmodel can't make it. How about I fill in?"

When they heard that, the three ladies silently stared at him. They thought to themselves, Thanks, butno thanks.

In the meantime, Zoe's mouth twitched as she began setting up. "It's fine. We've found our replacementalready."

However, he did not believe her and asked, "Who is it? Who could possess more charm than I do? I'mtelling you, if I'm in your advertisement, your sales will double the instant people see it—"

On the other hand, Daphne could not take any more of his ramblings. "I'll go and get ready."

"I left something in the car. I'll go get it," Zoe said.

In contrast, Leanna pulled out her phone. "Let me call Louis to see where he is now."

Freddie was stunned when no one responded to his questions. Then, he shouted, "Hey! Where's therespect?"

Meanwhile, the other crew members had to exert great effort to contain their laughter.

After that, Freddie scoffed and decided to laze on a nearby couch as an act of mercy.
