Chapter 3

“Why did you call me?” a cold tone was heard at the entrance.

“S…sir. There is a woman who wants the red dress,” the shop attendant said when she walked towards the entrance.

Ivanna who was seated on the couch at the lounge raised her to look at the newcomers and was shocked when he saw a man and two women.

“Where is she?” one of the women asked excitedly.

“At the lounge,” the shop attendant said as he walked towards where Ivanna was.

“Hello,” Ivanna said as she stood up when they arrived but they all had frowns on their faces.

“You want that red dress?” the man asked as he looked at Ivanna with a cold expression. However, there wasn’t any disgust or disdain in his eyes just like his shop attendants causing Ivanna to have a good impression of him.

“Yeah, sir,” Ianna said as she nodded her head.

“That won’t do. You're too ugly to wear that dress,” the woman said causing Ivanna’s eyes to flicker.

“I am sorry for her rude behavior, she just has a straightforward personality,” the other woman apologized and Ivanna smiled at her.

“It is okay. I understand that I am too ugly for her liking. However, can I still get the dress if…” Ivanna said then stopped her words as she wiped her face with the wipes she had taken from her bag.

Everyone around was shocked as they started seeing the clear and flawless face as she wiped it. After she was done, she smiled at them.

“Can I still get the dress?” Ivanna asked innocently they were all staring at her face with mouths open.

Ivanna said then giggled as she knew that her beauty was inevitable and would make anyone lose composure.

They were brought back by her laughter.

“Oh. You are so beautiful. And that skin, it’s so soft. But you need to eat more so that you can have a chubby face to pinch,” the woman who had spoken to Ivana sarcastically said with a flaunting smile and as she pinched the latter’s face.

“Thank you, ma’am,” Ivanna said with a smile.

“What do you think Joel? She is our first customer you know. This means that our luck would be very good,” the woman said as she held Ivanna’s hand.

“Forst customer?” Ivanna asked with a frown as she looked at the woman.

“Yes, the shop was opened today. We weren’t expecting that we would still attract someone, well who is so beautiful, to begin with,” the woman replied causing Ivanna to chuckle.

But she couldn’t help but scream inwardly wondering what kind of luck she had after her reborn.

“Well, we will give you the red dress for free but…” the man said his eyes still on Ivanna’s flawless face.

Ivanna stared at him with a frown as she wondered what he was up to.

“You should be our brand ambassador. If you like, we can take some photos right now before you leave with it. At the same time, when you are busy with the photo shoot, we will be drafting the contract,” the other calm woman said shocking Ivanna.

“Are you serious?” she asked as she was in disbelief.

She looked at the red and to her, it was her lucky charm as it had given her such a golden opportunity. Although she had planned to get that position, she never thought that it would be too quick. Also, this was her first job and she was determined to change her life and not depend on the Bakers as she was planning to return to her biological parent's house.

“Yes, we will give you ten million for the endorsement fee,” the woman said shocking Ivanna further.

Although the Bakers were rich, they couldn’t fork out ten million in a go. She stayed silent for a while as she was trying to figure out whether she was in a dream and wished that if it were a dream, she would continue staying there.

“Too little?” the man said with a frown earning him a glare from the sarcastic woman.

“How can her face be only worth ten million? Abby, raise the money,” the woman said to her partner earning a cold glance but the woman didn’t say anything.

“Fifteen million, That’s all I can offer,” the woman raised the money.

Ivanna who had just come from her daydreaming was shocked when she heard the amount.

“Wait, you just said fifteen million?” she asked in disbelief.

“Yes, are you still interested in working with us?” the woman named Abby said.

Ivanna remained silent as she knew that if the Bakers came to know that she had such a large amount, they would covet it and even worse tell her to give it to them as compensation for taking care of her those seventeen years.

“I am just afraid people would recognize me when the photos are released,” she said making them sigh knowing they had misunderstood her silence.

However, since they had already raised the money, they didn’t reduce it as they felt it would ruin their company’s image.

“Well, we will be taking photos of you without makeup. Oh, we will apply makeup on your face to make you look prettier and not ugly as you did. I believe that with your ugly face, no one would associate the two,” the man said making Ivanna’s mouth twitch but she didn’t say anything knowing that he was right.

After all, she was so sure that everyone had forgotten her real face. But sadness overtook her as she had planned on how to reveal her stunning face.

“Well, I will be revealing my face when I wear that dress to the party though,” she said as she pouted.

A sudden thought appeared on her face and she nodded her head. She wasn’t a fool, to let such a huge pie fall on Fiona.

“Let’s do this. People are waiting for me!” she said and they all smiled.

She was taken to a makeup artist's room before the photos were taken by a photographer. She didn’t need to be shown poses as she had countless of them as someone who had lived in the future and knew the future poses. Everyone was amazed by the photos and they nodded their heads.

Even the boss felt that the money she had offered the latter was a small amount but she didn’t say anything, she just added a clause on the contract awaiting to be signed.

“Let me change first,” Ivanna said as she was afraid of the mother-daughter walking in and finding her like that.

She ran away then later showed up with her casual outfit and heavy makeup on her face causing them to shake their heads wondering what was good between having a stunning face and an ugly one.

“Read it before signing it,” Abby said as she handed the contract to her.

Ivanna took it as she nodded her head before starting to read it seriously shocking them as most people didn’t read and claimed they trusted the other party. At the same time, they were curious whether Ivanna understood the clauses written.

“You, you are giving me ten percent of the income you generate in this shop?” she asked Abby in shock as she didn’t believe it.

“Yes, since you are about to become our ambassador, I might as well tell you that our company isn’t in this country but abroad. It's one of the international brands and we just opened shops here. However, I will be going back to my country after everything is perfected here, while the other two will leave the city. We need someone to look after this shop when we are gone and since you live here, why not hand it to you? However, you seem like a student still and won’t have a lot of time to manage it but as a shareholder, you will be able to supervise,” Abby said shocking everyone.

Actually, Abby had wanted to give her some shares of the companies but she thought that the other ambassadors would not like it and gang against her which won’t be a good thing.

“But I don’t have a good image here. As you can see from my face, most people don’t like me and think that…” Ivanna halted and bit her lower lip.

“This girl. She said that she would go look for her dress but it had been more than three hours. Does she think she is still the princess?”
