Chapter 226: Chapter 226: Known to All
May Lawrence said anxiously, "Then how can I find you? How about this, you give me the money today, and if you have such interviews in the future, you can come to me. I don’t want much, ten thousand yuan will suffice!"
Rachel Woodward, though unwilling, thought about how she would still need May’s cooperation for future events, so she could only acquiesce.
She said reluctantly, "I don’t have cash on me, I need to go to a bank nearby to withdraw money."
"I just so happen to have time, I’ll go with you two."
Like that, the three of them slowly went out, leaving the urban village. Rachel Woodward felt that the outside air became much fresher.
May leaned close to her, grinning from ear to ear, "Miss, you can come find me for interviews next time too."
"Okay, ma’am," Rachel replied politely on the surface, but she looked down on it in her heart.
They arrived at an ATM, and Rachel withdrew ten thousand yuan from her personal account, sending May away.
On the way back to the city center, Rachel replayed the recorded video several times.
She transferred the video from the camera to her computer, planning to edit it before posting it online. By then, she would buy a batch of internet trolls, and the ensuing public outcry could bury Nora.
She didn’t believe Nora had a better way to counter this!
The next few days passed calmly.
Nora Northwood checked VK’s front desk for recent sales figures and noticed a sharp decline, feeling a bit anxious.
She thought the studio couldn’t just sit still and wait for doom.
Coincidentally, Lily came over and patted her shoulder, "Nora, what are you spacing out about?"
Nora was startled, but after collecting her thoughts, she asked Lily, "How’s the customer flow at Brenner Mall’s spa?"
Brenner Mall is one of the brands under The Sinclair Group.
"It’s good. Last time I went, I had to wait a long time for an appointment. They target mid to high-end customers, and the prices are quite high."
Lily’s words made Nora resolute, "Could you watch the front desk for me? I’m going to go explore."
And with that, she quickly dashed out.
Rhea SPA.
Nora stood at the entrance of the spa, marveling at the luxurious decor set by the owner.
A salesperson noticed her wearing the latest One brand, approached, and greeted, "Hello, do you need any beauty services? You can come in and take a look!"
The salesperson’s enthusiasm was hard to refuse, and before Nora could state her purpose, she was pulled inside.
"Your skin looks great, but the dark circles are a bit severe. I can arrange an eye care experience for you with our beautician..."
A series of sales pitches followed. Nora quickly interrupted, "Sorry, to interrupt, but I’m not here for beauty treatment today. I’m wondering if you need any fragrance collaboration here?"
The beautician’s smile immediately froze, and she bluntly replied, "No, we don’t."
But Nora was not in a hurry to leave, and she patiently continued, "Our shop is nearby. This is my business card, would you mind introducing me to the person in charge here?"
She said this while taking out her business card and handing it over with both hands.
"Our manager is quite busy, I’m afraid they don’t have time to see you."
Nora sensed the lack of enthusiasm in the response but didn’t give up.
She maintained a polite smile, silently telling herself to think broadly!
"It’s okay, can I smell this bottle of fragrance?" she asked, pointing her slender finger at the fragrance displayed on the nearby shelf.
"Go ahead and have a sniff, just be careful not to break it."
