Trial Marriage Husband: Need To Work Hard (Book 1)

"It's not that we want to go against Jennie, Jennie is the one that is going against us. The agency is one big team, but as a model of YG's, when has she ever obeyed Chungha's orders? Sung-jae, don't forget, without YG, there is no you and there would be no Jennie," Ian's words were loud and clear with a sense of pride and ridicule.

"Actually, Sung-jae, let me correct myself, you have already lost your right to be a top manager because you have betrayed Chungha."

After hearing Ian's words, Sung-jae's lips curved upwards in mockery. His mood was a lot better than earlier, "Ian, whether I have the right, is not up to you to determine. After all, the position of Artists Director was also a role I rejected before Chungha gave it to you. It seems, I know more about being a manager than you do. Plus..."

"I think the first thing you need to learn, is how to be a man!"

"In regards to my position, there is no one that can replace me. With my qualifications and the amount of company secrets I know, even if Chungha was to choose someone to get rid of, she may not necessarily choose me."

After speaking, Sung-jae hung up the phone. He had no intention of following Chungha's orders.

However, Rosé had overheard his entire conversation, "The...the show has started, do you want to watch it?"

"Of course, this is Jennie's appearance on an international runway."

What did going on an international runway represent? Just a simple look at the invites in Jennie's email inbox was enough to answer that question; the inbox that was previously filled with Chinese emails, was now scattered with English.

This change already took place before Jennie even appeared on the stage, simply because JK's commercial featured this fresh mysterious Asian face. And the thing that made onlookers most confident and excited in anticipation about was the fact that Jennie had already ignited the Oriental Trend in North America. On top of that, the Asian influence was currently strong in the fashion world.

Sung-jae and Rosé glanced at each other before turning around to head back inside the church. However, at this moment, they noticed 1 American man and 1 American woman squatting on the steps smoking.

This wasn't originally something to take note of, but Sung-jae vaguely heard Jennie's name coming from their mouths.

"How much money did you get from them?"

"Those Asians were quite generous. I only told Gaby half of the real amount and he quickly agreed to give that Asian model a push on the runway today."

Gaby!

Sung-jae remembered this was the name of the male model that would be walking the runway with Jennie.

So, they want to push Jennie on the runway?

A complicated expression appeared on Sung-jae's face.

If Jennie was to fall over on the international runway, her international career may possibly be over.

So, why was this male model willing to accept money to ruin Jennie? It was because of the current culture in the modeling industry. Male models were different to female models; male models were mostly employed part-time and not many achieved much of a status in the industry. On top of that, their appearance fees were minuscule in comparison to female models - especially male models that didn't really stand out, like Gaby.

Since he was offered money, there was no way he would reject it.

"Sung-jae, what are you in a daze thinking about?" Rosé asked.
