"Sorry, I hope you don't mind. I didn't tell you beforehand; it was a last-minute problem. I tried to call you, but your phone couldn't be reached."
Victor explained, his tone a bit flustered, "She's the only woman I thought of because of her height. I don't have any girl friends who are the same height as her, and most of the women I know are busy. The models that I knew were either already booked for other shows or had prior commitments."
Taking a deep breath, Victor continued, "Anyway, I don't have anyone else to ask for help but her. I would really appreciate it if you could let her do this just this once. She would be greatly compensated after the show, and I would take care of her."
Xin blinked and then raised his hand to stop Victor from speaking any further. "Ah, yes. I'll leave her in your hands."
