CLAIRE MARIS POV :

Congratulations on your Betty award, Miss Claire; Im really marveled at

the way you swept all your competitors and I watched on as you made a

gallant walk through the aisle in all glamour and splendor– Ive been

following you for the past few years and I must say Im really fascinated

by your meteoric rise to stardom in the global modelling world — that is

why Im offering you a chance to join our Middle Eastern franchise, KC corporations;

we are a well known franchise in the Middle East and already trying to get

a major foothold in the Asian market, I believe through your endorsement

we can begin our next phase of development with you as the face of our ever

growing prestigious brand Mr. cluster spoke so elegantly and splendid, forgive

me but I wasnt moved by such cocky stories that sounded so much like a sought

out and written fable.. well, Mr. Cluster– I really want a drafted letter which

clearly states the terms of our agreement not a well organized and spoke fable

I sounded so authoritatively, I was brought up this way so I really wasnt gonna

let some cheesy old dude from wherever the hell he was from dictating contract

offers to me orally– I mean who does that in this modern era.. oh, forgive my

negligence, Miss, here is a well documented letter stating out our T&C as well as

the annual contract offer and monthly bonuses Mr. cluster spoke again, handing

a file enveloped in a red parcel, My assistant, Cody Rhodes collected the file and

tore the parcel open revealing a letter and handed it over to me

–what the hell?!; $3 million USD per annum and $52,000 USD monthly; am I

running some charity organization with you guys for you to gimme such piece

of sh-t, I threw the crap at his face revealing my displeasure at the offer he brought

to me — I was way more better than that, how do I fix my bills if I live off that sh-t

sorry, Miss– but this what we can offer right now, Im really desperate to get this

deal across the line, my work, family and my life depends on this contract Mr. Cluster

said displaying a very pleading look with his hands joined together on his chest

like he was one of those petty Chinese monks but I had already made my stand on

this matter and nothing was gonna make me bulge ..Im sorry sir, but I cant oblige
