Chapter 44: Playing Her Cards in an Unexpected Way

[Park Shinhye Vs Cha Jooeun]

[Trendy Goddess Battles It Out With Outdated Model]

[Cha Jooeun and Park Shinhye Fight in the Same Frame]

These were all the hottest headlines Minjung found online on the morning of the shoot. They of course knew this was all Ryeowon's effort to boost Shinhye. The Internet age had always been like this. Only yesterday, Shinhye was still the mistress on everyone's lips, but today, the tramp had become a goddess. She is the perfect model in their eyes. This is the Entertainment Industry where no one could predict what would happen to them the next day. However, there's no doubt, CN was completely invested on Park Shinhye.

Before the magazine started their shoot, Shinhye's team had already arrived at the entrance of Vanity Fair's headquarters.

"For the sake of Park Shinhye, the jerk has given all he's got. I heard there will be an interview between the two of you before the shoot." Minjung looked at the photos online unhappily. At the same time, she expressed her concerns. "Jooeun, are you really not going to do anything? Look at Shinhye, she has 3 appearances a day. She interacts with her fans and she has a team to help her. She is being treated as an international superstar."

"She's out-shining some of the most famous international supermodels. It's normal for her to be treated like a superstar." Jooeun sat in the car flipping through a previous edition of Vanity Fair's magazines. "Today, the two of you must learn how to compliment others and improve your manners."

"There's nothing to compliment about!" Minjung didn't understand what Jooeun had in mind. Meanwhile, Hyewon had already caught on as she turned her head towards Minjung and reminded her. "Have you forgotten what Jooeun said last night?"

Minjung thought for a moment before finally remembering. "Oh yes, let her overconfidence kill her."

This is a common trick used in the industry. Many management agencies used this method to teach their artists a lesson, especially the ones that were arrogant after gaining a little bit of fame. They would boost them to the top, make them and others believe they were on top of the world, then they would pull them down from their perch and let them realize, they were but a tiny speck in the world, small like an ant.

Since Shinhye wanted to be on top of the world so badly, they would let her be. Ryeowon had already made enough enemies for her. Of course, everything Ryeowon did was to convince Shinhye she had no choice but to rely on CN, it was a warning that once she became famous, she better not think about finding another company.

"For Shinhye, Ryeowon has really put in her all. Too bad Shinhye's ability can't support her ambitions."

"Whether she can continue to support her, we will have to see after the shoot." Jooeun is calm as usual. This is her normal expression whenever she isn't around Jeonghwan. No one could ever tell what she's thinking. Her smile is a mask she wore to fight back against all the fakeness in the world.

Not long after, they arrived at the Vanity Fair Headquarters. Jooeun is being escorted to the waiting room that was prepared by the magazine. Of course, this room is to be shared with Park Shinhye.

Vanity Fair's fashion stylist quickly measured Jooeun's body whilst praising her pair of stunning legs. Afterward, she handed Jooeun a traditional Korean dress. "With your personality, I feel like you suit clothing with lighter colors."

Jooeun smiled towards the stylist's suggestion, she had no comment. Probably because they were from different professions they didn't think the same way. But Minjung still couldn't help but cut in. "Our Jooeun can handle any clothing you give her, she's not picky."

At this time, Shinhye entered the room accompanied by her assistant. Upon seeing Jooeun sitting in front of the mirror, she stormed over to her fiercely. She had a proud expression on her face as she grabbed the lipstick in Jooeun's hand and said, "Must be because you are too used to being a substitute with no choice in clothing, that's why you've forgotten how to be picky."

After speaking, Shinhye sauntered over to the clothing rack. Pointing to a few pieces of clothing, she faced the designer and said, "I want to try all these."

Shinhye is indeed good at picking clothes because she understood what complemented her body. Whereas Jooeun indeed did not know how to pick clothes, because she felt she should be able to handle any clothing, it is what she was here to present. The fashion shows in the world weren't designed to suit one particular model and it's normal to not have time to check whether clothes suited a model before doing a show. So whatever one wears, they present, no matter if it suits them or not. Because of this understanding, Jooeun had her own unique way of presenting all different kinds of clothing.

"Our Shinhye isn't some outdated model. In this profession, wearing clothes is a serious matter. How can you be so casual about it?" Shinhye's assistant added.

"No matter what a mistress wears, isn't it just *The Emperor's New Clothes*? In the eyes of men, no matter what you wear, you are naked. What's the point of picking something nice to wear?"

"You- . . ."

"Shinhye, don't be angry. It's not beneficial to your body." Her assistant comforted. "The interview is about to start, let's go out and get ready."

Jooeun turned to face Minjung and Hyewon as she whispered. "We should go too."

The interview is scheduled for 9 AM, the current time is 8:40 AM. As it's going to be streamed live online, Yonghwa pulled the two aside to remind them. "In this kind of situation, you better think before you speak. I'm sure you both know what you should and shouldn't say. Especially you Jooeun, control yourself. This is going to be streamed live. If you start up any negative discussions, we won't be able to handle the implications and I don't see how that could be beneficial to you. Regarding the topic of sharing a stage, you both better prepare an answer and place the focus on the magazine's front cover."

"No worries Yonghwa. I'm just not sure if someone has bad motives." Shinhye said as she hooked her arm around Yonghwa's.

"I will do my best." Jooeun responded calmly. But after the recent incidents, Yonghwa is a little scared to see Jooeun's calmness. The more she hid her emotions, the more schemes she had hidden up her sleeve. He really wanted to know, at this moment, what Jooeun was actually thinking.

"Yonghwa, let's go in." Shinhye shook his arm. She couldn't stand watching Yonghwa stare at Jooeun. Yonghwa gave a look of warning to Jooeun. If Jooeun behaved today, in the future, when Shinhye made a comeback, he would consider giving her a chance.

The three of them entered the interview room, but only Jooeun and Shinhye sat on the seats inside. Yonghwa stood quietly amongst the reporters. If Jooeun made any flaws, from where he was standing, he could quickly jump in and control the situation.

But today, Jooeun isn't going to play her cards the way they expected.
