After patiently following for a while, Laura Graff finally found a gap, reached out to Simon and offered to introduce herself: "Hello, Mr. westrow, this is Laura."
Simon has just said hello to several creators of the Song Fei story. Wen Yan reaches out his hand and shakes the woman in front of him. He doesn't pretend he doesn't know her, but he doesn't feel warm. He looks at the tall charm of the woman in front of him and says, "hello."
Lara Graff has been brewing a conversation for a long time, and is about to open her mouth. Jerry hall, who just came to Simon's side but didn't leave, suddenly whispers in the man's ear. Simon nods with a smile, gives a slight signal to Lara Graff, and turns away with the women around him.
Laura Graff subconsciously followed two steps, or stop, she did not forget the etiquette of the party, pestering will only make people tired. She cursed the woman next to westrow in a low voice. On the surface, Laura Graff still kept an elegant smile, pretending to go to other places, but her attention never left the figure of a man.
After reading the whole process of Lara Graff's chat up, grace spatter has some doubts, but it can only be regarded as the mind of a big man playing hard to get.
However, since Simon westero arrived, her busy work for more than a month will finally come to an end.
It's just a little bit close. We should be more cautious.
Grace comes back to Laura Graff and intends to keep her eyes on each other until the end.
Laura Graff noticed that grace approached herself without much thought, but said with a certain complacency, "grace, did you notice the look in westero's eyes just now? He must be very interested in me
Grace whispered a word, of course, will not go to expose what, continue to stay by the woman's side in the party.
About half an hour later, Laura Graff, who has always been paying attention to Simon's movements, suddenly finds that westrow is walking towards the hall door, with Jerry hall holding the man's arm in his hand.
This is, you want to leave?
Grace also noticed the movement in the direction of the door, and she was a little depressed.
I have to continue to boil!
A man did not give them much reaction time, and their figure soon disappeared at the door of the hall.
However, when both women were disappointed, a middle-aged bodyguard in a suit came directly to them, looked at Laura Graff, turned to grace and said, "excuse me, are you Ms. spotter, Ms. Graff's agent?"
Grace nodded, "yes, you are?"
Then he reached out politely.
Instead of shaking hands with grace, the middle-aged man handed her a business card directly: "Ms. spotter, I'm Mr. westrow's bodyguard. He's very interested in Ms. Graff. If you have time, you can make this call at nine o'clock tomorrow morning."
So finish saying, leave a business card, the middle-aged man turns to leave.
Laura Graff didn't react until Simon's bodyguard walked away. She turned to her agent and found that grace had put away the business card. She immediately reached over and looked eagerly in her eyes: "grace, that gentleman just said that Mr. westero is interested in me. The business card should be for me."
Grace just shook her head. "I can hear you very well. It's for me."
Laura Graff asked for nothing but to give up for a while. Then she realized something and asked, "how does westero know you're my agent?"
Grace said that you are not stupid at all. She said casually, "you think what kind of party this is. Mr. westlow wants to know the identity of a guest. It's not a matter of a word."
Laura Graff immediately accepted the explanation and looked at Grace's Kun bag with her business card: "tomorrow morning, we should make this call together, right?"
Grace shook her head and said, "Mr. westlow should be very busy. Even if he wants to date you, it doesn't have to be tomorrow. Laura, I'm leaving. Are you going with me? "
"It's only nine o'clock. It's still early."
"Then you can stay here by yourself."
Said grace, as she made her way to the hall door, and Laura Graff, after a pause, followed.
If Laura Graff really doesn't leave, grace will have to stay. She doesn't want anything wrong with her last night. However, she also firmly believes that the other party will keep up, so that she will insist on leaving.
They walked out of the grand hotel together and got into Grace's car in the parking lot. Just as the car started, Laura Graff, sitting on the co pilot, quickly said, "grace, can you lend me $500? Cathy and Victoria haven't had dinner yet. I have to bring some food back."
In fact, before going to the party, my little daughter hoped that she could sneak some buffet back.
Laura Graff couldn't do such a disgraceful thing.What's more, all her attention is devoted to social activities. Although the buffet in the party hall is very rich, she has no time to eat at all. When she leaves the party, she finally feels hungry.
In the past more than a month, because of all kinds of troubles, the Graff family has owed more than $26000, of which $18000 came from grace.
The job as a model agent is far from as glamorous as the outside world thinks.
The number of signed models in elite has reached 2000, and the top group of models are all in the hands of John Casablanca's management. Grace manages more than 30 girls under her name, and five or six of them have an annual income of more than $100000, which makes her one of elite's top brokers. However, Grace's current annual income is only about $100000.
18000 dollars, which is also a huge sum for her.
Now, it's borrowing money again, and it costs $500 to buy dinner. In Manhattan, if you don't consider the expensive drinks, few restaurants need $500 for a meal.
So depressed to think, passing a Steakhouse, grace directly pulled over the car, motioned: "steak OK?"
Laura Graff looked at her and said, "well, let's eat together. You must be hungry too, right. After that, just pack up two copies for Cathy and them
Is this something a mother can say?
Grace once again abdominal Fei, can only get off together, was tossed by this woman all night, she is hungry.
It took more than an hour to have a casual meal, but most of the time, Laura Graff was talking to grace about how to sell herself when she met with westrow tomorrow. Finally, it was 10:30 in the evening when she left, and she casually packed two steaks for her two girls.
Take Laura Graff back to her apartment and grace can finally go home.
Her husband, who works in the First Boston securities exchange department, didn't have a rest either. She turned to the bedroom of her two children to see her sleeping son and daughter. Grace went back to the living room, leaned on the sofa, took a sip of coffee from her husband, and finally relaxed. Knowing that she has recently received some very difficult clients, her husband asked with a smile, but grace didn't say much. After a few self mockery, she asked about each other's work, and the man also flickered.
The couple got married 12 years ago, and their relationship has been good. However, when they reach middle age, they have their own ups and downs.
As a woman, in the modeling industry, Grace's career has basically reached the ceiling. During this period, she tries her best to manage the affairs of the Graaff family, which is also the last expectation in her heart.
As for the husband, he was full of ambition when he got married. Over the years, he was just a vice president managing a trading team of more than ten people. People who know a little bit about the business know that there are often hundreds of vice presidents in large investment industries. This is just a title, which is very different from the power of vice presidents in real enterprises.
Because of her unsatisfactory career, the promise she made to her full-time wife when she got married has not been fulfilled.
Grace knows that Credit Suisse, the parent company of First Boston, is still downsizing and integrating the Wall Street investment bank recently. She is over 40 years old and is still a husband of grass-roots executives, and is likely to be the one who will be eliminated.
With all this in mind, grace can't help thinking about her recent job, the young man who is only 26 years old and has been standing at the top of the pyramid of the world overlooking all living beings, and whether this will be a small turning point in her career. In the end, she even thinks a little bit askew.
It is said that the young man likes mature women very much.
The next day, just after six o'clock, she got up early, helped her husband and children prepare breakfast, arranged the schedule for a group of girls in her name in advance, and made a special phone call to her boss, John Casablanca. During this time, Laura Graff also called to explain how she should talk about herself to westero. She was so busy until nine o'clock in the morning Finally, I found the card last night and dialed the phone above.
Then she was told to go to Greenwich, Connecticut.
Fortunately, she doesn't need to drive dozens of kilometers. There is already a helicopter pick-up for her by the Hudson River.
At about 9:30, the helicopter landed at a manor in the northern suburb of Greenwich. A baby faced girl met her and introduced herself to Zoe parks. Then she took grace into the manor villa.
Out of the professional habit of a model agent, grace only thinks that if a tall girl with a cat like baby face enters the fashion industry, it will definitely be very popular. In recent years, the demand for baby face models is still very high.
However, she immediately made fun of herself. The annual salary of waiters around westero is higher than that of her. What's more, there are such prospects as Claire Gaines, Alice Ferguson and other girls. Girls with a little brain will not give up this job and go to the fashion circle.
The fashion circle is bright on the surface, but it's a rotten quagmire in private.She arranged for grace to sit down in a living room next to the living room and deliver coffee. Then Zoe explained, "the boss is busy, Ms. spotter. You need to wait a moment."
Grace took the coffee and said with a smile, "it's OK."
Zoe takes the initiative to help turn on the TV, puts the remote control in her hands, says she has something to do, and turns to leave the living room.
Grace waited for Zoe to leave before she looked around.
Although it is the living room for the host to meet and rest, the room is more than 60 square meters, which is divided into two parts: the rest area and the small bar. It mainly focuses on the warm decoration of light yellow color. The artworks on the wall, the decorative bookshelves for isolation, and the black bar on the inside make the whole room appear to be hierarchical and complement each other. Obviously, it has been carefully designed.
I used to dream of owning such a villa in the countryside. Unfortunately, after so many years, many of my initial expectations have already become extravagant.
Then I remember an idea from last night.
In fact, her appearance was not bad. At first, she wanted to be a model, but she became a model agent by mistake.
Forced to get rid of some unrealistic ideas, grace couldn't help guessing what westrow was doing.
Zoe just said his boss is busy. However, it seems that the man left with Jerry hall last night, surrounded by a group of warblers all the time. When he reached his present wealth status, he didn't need to fight any more. Maybe, he didn't get up yet.
Simon is up, of course.
At this time, he was in another study of the villa, discussing with Celia Miller, who came here early, the establishment of the security team of the Westeros family.
Simon had thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't spare time and energy.
Now that several private military companies covering security business have been set up, we can certainly start this matter.
"Many rich people like to use special forces as bodyguards, which is very unprofessional. Professional soldiers are more likely to be offensive "weapons". The more top soldiers are, the more so. However, if they are used as "shields", even if they are retrained in a reverse way, they will not be qualified. Of course, except for theater security, what they need is aggressive soldiers. As for the professional security team in a peaceful environment, it is better to select ordinary people and train them from scratch according to the "shield" standard. The proportion of secret service agents in charge of the president and high-level security of the federal secret service is very small, and most of them are recruited from the society. "
In the study, Celia explained to Simon some professional common sense that most people would misunderstand, and said, "as for our security team, I suggest that we select students with sports specialty from various professional sports colleges or universities, so as to ensure that they have enough excellent physical fitness. If the boss is not in a hurry, we'd better provide fixed-point funding and training for freshmen as soon as they enter the University. After graduation, they can start to work directly. "
Simon nodded his approval and said, "however, I need you to train a group of female guards as soon as possible. This matter is very urgent. My wife and children, as well as you, all need to be equipped with such candidates."
In fact, there are some female bodyguards at home, but the number is small. And, most of all, Simon doesn't trust them very much.
Celia heard the man say that she was a part of it. She lost her charming eyes. Then she restrained and said seriously, "in this case, you can dig a group of people from other security companies first."
Simon shook his head and said, "I need to be trained from scratch. The most important thing is that I can be trusted. It doesn't matter if I have a temporary defect in my professional quality."
The main security work of the westrow family is still in the charge of male bodyguards for the time being. Simon just hopes that there will be a layer of trustworthy barrier around the women and children. After thinking about it, he added: "or you can choose some female soldiers, they have a good foundation."
Celia shook her head immediately. "Boss, you'd better give up the idea."
Simon wondered, "why?"
Celia hesitated for a moment, but said frankly: "in the federal army, the proportion of female soldiers is very high, much higher than the worst imagination of the outside world. So, boss, you should be able to imagine the psychological state of the female Union soldiers. Most of them can't pass the preliminary psychological test at all. Even if some pass the psychological test, it will bring more uncertainty. "
Simon listened to Celia's explanation, and immediately remembered a lot of information in his memory. At the same time, he gave up the idea.
Maybe those people deserve sympathy, but Simon won't bring them around.
The potential uncertainty of PTSD patients can be understood by thinking about what Robert De Niro did in taxi driver.
As Celia finished, she noticed that Simon looked at herself strangely. Then she turned white and said, "I've only worked in the Department of defense, and I don't have any service experience. And because of my husband's family, nobody dares to do anything to me when I work in the Ministry of defense. "
