Chapter 431: Chapter 431: Who Stands in the C Place
Lucy Taylor was taken aback, her anger had nowhere to vent, "You know that’s not what I meant!"
What the hell is a toast?
It should be a penalty drink, right!
Wait, why should we drink at all?
Led astray by Hannah’s words, Lucy felt even more uncomfortable, "If you could use the same words you used to belittle me on them, they wouldn’t be so cocky."
How arrogant must one be to badmouth someone to their face?
Hannah opened her eyes, looking at the vaguely blinding sunlight outside the car window, and squinted uncomfortably, "Who do you think is even worthy of my criticism?"
A twitch appeared at the corner of Lucy’s mouth, "So, you mean I should thank you for belittling me?"
Hannah turned her head, her smile dazzling, and her voice sweet, "You’re welcome."
Livid, Lucy could not utter a word in response to Hannah’s bright smile.
She reassured herself that this was normal, and she shouldn’t be angry.
Shouldn’t be!
This time, the trainees were particularly ecstatic about going outside. Despite the crew’s announcement that professional make-up artists would beautify them on location, they couldn’t wait for the twenty-minute bus ride to end.
Idols had to maintain their image, putting on makeup even off-camera was a given by now.
Although Lucy didn’t wear any makeup, she put on a mask to cover her face.
Only Hannah had her bare face exposed, yet she was still stunningly beautiful, causing envy. Her snowy skin, furrowed willow-leaf eyebrows, she looked like the West Lake on a rainy day, a trace of melancholy adding a touch of appeal. She was both naive and charming, alluring and captivating.
Even Tiffany Lynch’s agent, who had seen countless beautiful women in the industry, couldn’t help but sigh in admiration.
Hannah Winter definitely was beautiful.
The fans boasted about her beauty daily, initially thinking that seeing her in person would be a disappointment, but she appeared more stunning than any camera could capture.
Tiffany’s agent glanced in the rearview mirror, noticed Tiffany playing with her phone, and decided to say something, "You should stand out more during this magazine shoot too. Although it’s just a second-tier magazine, a lot of people still read it."
Tiffany looked up, "Who gets the center position for this shoot?"
As soon as she said this, her agent understood her thoughts.
Luckily, Prideful did have some influence, knowing the Editor-in-chief of the magazine, and had mentioned it to him in advance.
Tiffany’s agent spoke up, "The cover shoot will be a group photo of all nine of you. You and Hannah will stand in the middle, which won’t stir up any controversy."
There was less negative online gossip about Tiffany being royalty lately, but the fact was that Hannah’s recent popularity eclipsed all such rumors.
However, once a label was attached, it wasn’t easy to remove. The agent thought it would be best if Tiffany remained low profile.
Tiffany disagreed, though. The sunny day made her feel dizzy inside the air-conditioned car, leaving her agitated, "Given that Hannah has landed a top-tier endorsement deal, there shouldn’t be anything wrong with me taking the center position in a magazine."
In her view, no matter how bossy she became, her actions could never outdo Hannah’s.
Hannah had grabbed a top-tier beauty endorsement deal that she’d coveted.
Hannah didn’t hesitate to use her connections, then why shouldn’t she do the same?
At these words, the agent frowned instantly, "It’s different. Regardless of how Hannah got her endorsement, it’s her affair. Even if she slept her way up, it’d have nothing to do with us. But she’s still ranking higher than you. If you snatched her center position so blatantly, wouldn’t that be asking for trouble?"
