24 "You'll Be A Model", She Said

Like that, the trio agreed to meet in three days in Anoi's flat.

Jackie would bring her sketches, and Shadd would come to review them and discuss current fashion trends with Anoi.

"What shall we do now?" Jackie asked.

Shadd was still hung up on the idea of finding future idols and wanted to go scout them right away.

"At least, let me introduce you to the place where our people form entertainment industry hang out," he said once his offer was rejected.

Shadd was a model - a decision influenced by Jackie. Since she was interested in fashion, she would often sew clothers. And the one who would be used for measurements, as well as the one who was forced to wear them, was Shadd. She always made him wear clothes that she sewed, and basically throughout their childhood would say "With a brain like yours, all you can do is rely on your face and body." Although the phrase is ambiguous, she by no means advised him to climb up the ladder by sleeping around (she said once that Shadd was too stupid to even think of that). In fact, she encouraged him to become a model.

And he suited for the job. It's just that the profession of a model is short-lived. Moreover, there are lots of younger people applying for the job as well.

So, although Lint was officially a model, and actually got a contract with one of small scale shops, sooner or later he'd have to start another career.

That's why the offer to take part in a company was enticing.

Anoi knew that and so she used the opportunity to pull him to her side.

Later, she will make sure to hire him as model, and make him advertise the clothes. This way the success of the company is guaranteed. There won't be a need to pay for advertisement. Lint's face will be enough.
