Chapter 1559

The world of entertainment had transformed over the years, no longer fixated on garnering attentionthrough fabricated news and stunts.

The newer generation of audiences focused more on idols’ work rather than sensationalism. Themindless fandom- driven star-chasing had given way to a more rational fan culture.

Fans had become more sensible, and the public was more accepting of celebrities dating. As long astheir work quality was good, they were considered dedicated professionals, and their personalcharacter was held up. Fans were supportive even when stars got married and started families.

Vicky realized that this dinner was probably a blind date setup. She did not say much and insteadengaged in lighthearted conversation with Gilbert as if they were friends.

At this moment, Aurora interjected, “Vicky, isn’t your studio looking for a male celebrity to endorsemen’s clothing recently? What do you think of Gilbert?”

Vicky’s studio had evolved from its early days of focusing solely on women’s fashion. While she wasnot personally involved in designing men’s clothing, she had a number of talented male fashiondesigners on her team.

Vicky hesitated. “But Mister Dyer is the reigning Oscar winner now, and in terms of endorsementfees…”

Gilbert chuckled. “From what Aurora told me, your endorsement contracts usually involve designing ofclothes for the celebrity for free. I suppose we could use that endorsement standard.”

“That won’t work,” Vicky quickly responded. “Such endorsement contracts are for B-list or C-list stars,not A-list celebrities and Oscar-winners.”

“I’m a big fan of the clothing designs from your studio,” Gilbert said with a smile. “For almost a yearnow, the outfits I’ve worn to events were all designed by your studio. If we collaborate, not only will Isave on clothing expenses for a year, but your studio will also get promoted. It’s a win-win situation.”Seeing Vicky’s concerns, Gilbert added, “Ms. Shaw, please be assured that my consideration isn’tinfluenced by Aurora’s relationship with you. I genuinely admire the clothing designs from your studio.”

Aurora nodded. “Gilbert once wore an outfit designed by your studio to an awards ceremony. It led himto be featured on the cover of a fashion magazine and dubbed a fashion icon.” She lowered her voiceand turned to Vicky. “A celebrity’s attire can set trends and lead fashion. Nowadays, many celebritiessign exclusive endorsement contracts with fashion brands. Many stars have gained recognition andpopularity because of their fashion choices. This time, Gilbert could sign a one-year endorsementcontract with your studio! We’ll see how it goes in a year. If it goes well, signing an exclusiveendorsement next year won’t be an issue.”

Aurora continued in a hushed tone, “Moreover, this isn’t really a loss. He’s a person with clearboundaries between his public and private life. You don’t need to overthink it.”

Convinced, Vicky nodded. “Mister Dyer is an actor who won an Oscar, so we can design four sets ofclothing for you each month. Will that be okay?”

Gilbert agreed right away. “Sure.”

The two exchanged numbers, and Gilbert asked, “When should we sign the contract?”

“Anytime! Just let me know whenever you’re available, Mister Dyer.”

Gilbert remained thoughtful for a few moments. “I’m on vacation lately, so I’m free. How abouttomorrow? That way, you can get the designers to start working on the outfits and start the photoshootfor advertisement.”

“Sure.”

The two were soon absorbed in a heated discussion about work.

Vicky beamed as she discussed work.

Gilbert, who was already attracted to her, could hardly look away.

Before dinner ended, Vicky excused herself to go to the bathroom and went to the counter to pay fordinner instead.

After making the payment, she headed to the bathroom to wash her face.

With her mind full of work matters, she absentmindedly bumped into someone.

She apologized, “I’m sorry…”

A cold voice interrupted her. “Your way of throwing yourself at men is cheap.”
