American winner takes all

Chapter 242 "Holy Grail" Giselle
Of course Ethan can understand why she is so "career-driven". After all, compared with the modeling world, Hollywood is considered "clean".

Nowadays, "sick aesthetic" is popular, and drug abuse is common in the model circle.It is common for young models to maintain relationships with agents, photographers, and company owners. Agents will only give better job opportunities to models with whom they have a good relationship.

To get even more outrageous, for example, the modeling company Karin Models was accused of providing underage female models to Jeffrey Epstein.

The most famous among them is Elite's boss Gerald Marie. As a "godfather of the modeling industry", he has been accused by dozens of models.

These are just examples of victims who are willing to come forward and expose themselves after the fact. How many more are hidden beneath the surface?

Maybe some young girls even think they are "in love" with their bosses, agents, or photographers. Or maybe some of the victims of accusations have not received the commitment they deserve from the other party and choose to take revenge.

All in all, it's a mess here.

And for a young girl like Alexandra, apart from her youth and beauty, what else can she rely on?She knew the rules of the game and was willing to pay the price of admission to Vanity Fair.

I saw Alexandra put her hand on the back of Ethan's hand.

"Boss, your palms are so big." Alexandra found that her palm was only three-fifths of Ethan's palm.

"You will know if you can grasp it with one hand." Alexandra tilted her head, with a bit of charm on her face.

Then Alexandra started to talk about the trouble with her ears. She felt that her pair of protruding ears affected her beauty too much, and she wanted to repair them through plastic surgery.

"I asked Sarah and she said this kind of extra expense requires your nod, after all it's not cheap."

Well, let’s start making conditions.

"No problem, beauty is the basic condition for a model." Ethan nodded and agreed directly.

Seeing that her boss was so happy, Alexandra took advantage of the situation to put forward more conditions.

"I will ask Sarah to pay more attention to you and give you more and better opportunities." Ethan also did not refuse.

Hearing what her boss said, Alexandra felt completely relieved.

"Any more requests?"

Of course, Alexandra wants to be the boss's wife and wants to completely tie up her boss.

Even if you can't become a boss's wife, giving birth to a child for your boss is enough to ensure that you have enough food and clothing for the rest of your life.

"Not for now." Alexandra smiled and shook her head, placing her hand on Ethan's chest and rubbing it carefully.

But just as she was about to take off Ethan's coat, his wrist was grabbed by Ethan.

"You can let go." Ethan said.

"Boss?" Alexandra immediately felt that Ethan was going to regret it.

"As a boss, it is natural for me to help you with your career, and your hard work is the greatest reward for me."

"Okay...Boss." Alexandra retracted her hand angrily.

Suddenly she realized that Ethan was indeed different from the character she expected.

Investing in a model company, recruiting a few young models, and being so generous and generous, to put it bluntly, it's just for that.

"You think I just brought you here from Brazil because I fell in love with you? Maybe you thought wrong from the beginning." Ethan shook his head.

Even if he accepted himself, it would be completely reasonable. After all, this was just a transaction, but he didn't do it.

Not taking advantage of others' danger... Alexandra felt a warm current in her heart.

"I will work hard, boss." Alexandra nodded heavily.

"In addition, during this time I also met a few young Brazilians who are also in London, and I would like to introduce them here."

"Who?"

"Isabel Gole, she is only 14 years old and has just rejected an offer from a company in Brazil. She and I both came from a modeling school, and her sister is a good friend of mine. You can take her directly to London. I think she’s very talented,” Alexandra said.

Ethan's choice just now made Alexandra completely reassured about Ethan.His boss is a very principled person, and he also has Sarah Douglas, a well-known agent, to provide help. It is obviously an ideal choice. At least, he does not have to be forced to do those things...

Isabelle Goller?Ethan was familiar with this name, and later Alexandra’s “colleague” was also a Victoria’s Secret Angel.

Considering that Victoria’s Secret will only sign contracts with the top models, it can be said that Victoria’s Secret is a golden brand that can directly help Ethan select the most suitable female models.

However, Ethan did not agree directly, but asked Alexandra who the other person was.

"That's a friend I met in London. She had a conflict with the company she signed with. She wants to leave the original company, which may bring you some additional costs. You have to help her pay liquidated damages. She The name is Adriana Lima.”

Shit, you know Adriana too?

You must know that this person is second only to Gisele Bundchen in the future.

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Ethan did not agree immediately.

"You have to know that although I am happy to recruit new people, not everyone can come in. I need to observe the two you mentioned."

"Please boss, they are girls with dreams just like me. You don't want to see them harmed by others, right? They will work hard, I swear in the name of God."

"I understand your good intentions, but modeling agencies are for profit, not charities."

"Then if... I can let them not charge any signing fees, then you can also save a lot of expenses. I think I can do it." Alexandra continued.

"That said, it's not impossible to consider it, provided you can really do it."

Ethan strongly suppressed the joy in his heart and still said calmly.

"I'll call them both later," Alexandra said.

·
"Lima, dear, I guarantee that he is different from the people in other companies. He will not make any outrageous demands on you or touch you. He has cooperated with Sarah Douglas, and Sarah He is the driving force behind Kate Moss. There is no better choice than this. You don't know how many words I spent to convince him. You have to discuss the liquidated damages with your company. From now on, don't do anything , completely break up with them, and just spend it like this, unless they are willing to relent and give in on the liquidated damages." Alexandra hung up the phone.

"Your communication skills are pretty good." Ethan looked at the young girl and unexpectedly discovered her talents besides modeling.

"If anything happens in the future, report it directly to me personally, including Sarah Douglas." Ethan mentioned.

Alexandra rolled her eyes, then realized the meaning of Ethan's words, and agreed immediately.

After a while, Gisele and two other models finished their training and returned to the apartment.

When she saw Ethan actually arriving, Giselle was surprised at first, and then walked towards Ethan with a smile on her face.

"You didn't lie, Ethan, I finally waited for you." Giselle's current English speaking level has been greatly improved compared to before, which of course is inseparable from Ethan's previous phone speaking teaching.

The relationship between the two is no longer just employment, Giselle has long regarded Ethan as her boyfriend.

Ethan didn't give Giselle a good look.

"Ahem, don't be in a hurry to welcome me. Tell me what you have been doing during this time?"

Sometimes, you need to mingle with your models, and sometimes, you need to give them more strength.

"We... of course worked hard, don't be so angry." Giselle shook Ethan's arm.

"Don't be so playful." Ethan stood up unmoved.

"I'm not going to give you any more time. If this year is like last year, I will transfer the contract to other companies. From now on, you can only be car models and promotional models. You can also sell yourself. It will be too easy to make money that way. Yeah." Ethan's words were quite harsh.

Next, when he took a few people to eat, Ethan also criticized the three of them, including Gisele Bundchen, who was also not immune.

As for Alexandra, Ethan was promoted more as a positive model.

This made Giselle even more unhappy.

After all, it was very embarrassing for her boyfriend to praise another girl of the same age in front of her.

But thinking about it carefully, Ethan did have a reason to be angry, after all, he created such good conditions for several people.

After dinner, Ethan asked the other three to go back first, leaving Giselle alone.

"Is the training finished?" Giselle pouted and had a sullen face.

"Do you still want me to work overtime? Don't you have this hobby?" Ethan said.

I don’t understand the specific work matters. Sarah Douglas is responsible for it, and I can only do some ideological work.

"I don't. I have been working hard. I also want to accept advertisements. The photographer doesn't like me, and I am also very distressed." Giselle muttered.

Ethan expressed his usual comfort.

"Actually, I have good news for you today... Since you think I'm so useless, forget it." Giselle glanced at me and said a little arrogantly.

"Then don't say it." Ethan shook his head.

"Why are you like this?" Giselle became anxious when she realized that Ethan just wouldn't take the bait.

"If you don't want to say it, I can't force you. Am I right?" Ethan looked at her.

Given Giselle's current rank, ten of her combined would not be Ethan's opponent.

"You..." Giselle was left speechless.

Finally, Giselle couldn't hold it in any longer and took the initiative to speak out.

"Mario Testino contacted me today and he wants to take a fashion photo shoot for me!! I'm awesome, right?" Giselle said proudly.

Male photographer, fashion photoshoot... Why does it sound weird?

Ethan asked who the photographer was.

"That is the most famous photography artist in South America, and the only portrait photographer designated by Princess Diana during her lifetime. He shot still advertisements for almost all the big brands in the world. This is a cooperation opportunity that all new models dream of!"

She was selected by top photographers as soon as she debuted, and she is worthy of being named Nanbowan in the modeling industry in the future.

Ethan looked at Giselle now.

Curly hair parted in the middle without any bangs, a very ordinary style, but even so, it did not compromise her beauty at all.

Her perfect facial features allow her to find the perfect balance between sexy and mature and cute and playful. She is the kind of "high-end beauty" that is not only in line with fashion people's values, but also stunning that the general public can understand.

Gisele Bundchen can be described as the "holy grail". "How about it, am I awesome?" Giselle raised her eyebrows at Ethan, obviously wanting to be praised.

But Ethan refused to praise her and poured cold water on her instead.

"Even if you take a photo, the photo may not be exposed, and even if it is exposed, it may not be noticed by people, right?" Ethan said.

There's nothing wrong with a few words of praise, but Ethan doesn't want Giselle to be too proud.

"Am I better than Alexandra?" Gisele immediately asked.

"Not necessarily." Ethan shook his head.

"Huh, you just don't want to admit it."

"When was the filming?"

"Tomorrow. Can you go with me in a dense forest on the outskirts of London?" Giselle suggested.

After all, it was her first time filming, so she was a little nervous.

·
The next day, in a dense forest on the outskirts of London, Gisele Bundchen, wearing a long skirt and short coat, was standing among the branches.The hips and waist form a slight angle, the right foot steps forward diagonally, the arms hang naturally, and the right shoulder tilts downward, forming a slight "S" standing posture, staring at the camera.

Photographer Mario Testino stood behind the branch and pressed the shutter across a broken branch that fell in front of Giselle.

At a time when the cold wind is blowing and everything is lonely, a woman like the goddess Venus stands here, mysterious and majestic, and incomparable in beauty.

"Perfect." The photographer looked down at the sample.

The relevant staff standing around finally relaxed, and Giselle crossed her arms and took three steps at a time to find Ethan.

"I'm freezing to death." Giselle said shivering.

Ethan opened his coat and let Giselle get in. Ethan hugged Giselle and warmed her with his body temperature.

"You feel so warm." Giselle said with a happy expression.

To the 17-year-old, her boyfriend hugging her to warm her up when she feels cold is probably the best thing in the world.

Later, Giselle completed multiple shots of the same type. The filming went very smoothly. Gisele was able to get into the mood very quickly in front of the camera. This is probably her talent.

This also resulted in work ending an hour and a half earlier than expected.

After the shooting, Ethan immediately put his coat on Giselle, and Giselle held Ethan's arm and walked carefully. She didn't wear shoes.

"Wait a minute." Ethan suddenly stopped Giselle and hugged her.

Ethan didn't want Giselle's edible-grade jade jade to be punctured and leave a wound.

"You are so strong." Giselle found that Ethan was holding her as light as nothing, and at the same time, she felt a wave of warmth because of Ethan's carefulness.

"Thank you, dear." She pursed her lips and said a little shyly.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk..." The staff member felt his teeth sore when he saw the young couple's intimate actions.

"Where did you put my clothes?" Giselle said, hugging Ethan's neck.

"I can't hold it all the time. I just put it in the car."

Ethan carried her into the back seat of the car and followed her in.

"You don't want me to change clothes here, do you?"

"Otherwise? Everyone else is in the other direction, and there are only two of us around." Ethan leaned forward and turned on the heater immediately.

"Then...then close your eyes." Giselle's face turned red.

Ethan obeyed obediently. Giselle sat up straight and immediately unbuttoned the buttons on her back. As soon as she took them off, she saw Ethan's eyes opened a slit.

Giselle hurriedly covered Ethan's eyes.

"You cheated." She said anxiously and shyly.

"Don't make trouble, I still have to talk to Mario Testino." Ethan urged.

Giselle snorted and took her hand back, while Ethan didn't hide it at all.

After a while, Ethan noticed a little mark on Giselle's underwear that she had taken off.

Just give you a hug and that’s it?
Giselle also noticed what Ethan was looking at, took it over with a swish, and curled it up with her hands.

At this time, Giselle didn't know what to say, so she could only laugh.

In front of Ethan, Giselle put on her clothes one by one.

Ethan saw that the time was almost up. He first took a packaging bag from the passenger seat of the car, then got out of the car and found photographer Mario Testino.

"When I saw you two just now, I seemed to have returned to my youth." Mario Testino said with a smile. As a great photographer, he doesn't have any airs.

"Besides, what is your relationship with Sarah Douglas? Is she your mother?" Mario Testino knew Sarah, but not Ethan.

"He is a partner of Sarah's company." Ethan introduced himself as such, and after a while of greetings, he put the packaging bag directly into Mario Testino's car.

Mario Testino nodded.

"There is no doubt that Gisele Bundchen is stunning, and I think more people should know her."

·
"What's in that little bag you brought him?" Giselle couldn't help but ask on the way back.

"An expensive men's watch." Ethan responded. He asked Sarah to help buy it this morning.The price is certainly not cheap, it is a new model from the brand that Mario Testino has always loved.

"Oh." Giselle nodded blankly, and then realized that Ethan had actually thought about it a lot secretly.

"Do you think I was beautiful just now?" Gisele then asked.

"So-so." Ethan responded.

"Huh, I know, when you say so-so, you mean very beautiful." Giselle couldn't get what she wanted, so she had to brag.

"I'll take you around London later? We can also go to other cities." Giselle whispered.

She didn't say anything, but in her heart she still wanted Ethan to spend more time with her.

"I have to rush back to join the team and leave tomorrow." Ethan said.

There are two pregnant women in New York waiting for him eagerly.

"That's right..." Giselle could only nod.

·
Back in the city, Ethan dropped Gisele back at her apartment and drove directly to Sarah Douglas's agency.

The car Ethan drove still belonged to Sarah, and he had to return it tonight and pay a visit to Sarah's company.

Sarah's company is located in a high-end office building in the heart of Chelsea.

As soon as he got out of the elevator, Ethan saw a group of girls, all around 178cm tall. When they saw Ethan, several girls thought he was a male model who was here for an interview, and they thoughtfully helped him with directions.

"Four new models?" Sarah was surprised in the office.

"Yes, they include Bridget Hall and Heidi Klum, and the other two are very potential newcomers." Ethan introduced at this time.

"Bridget Hall? Heidi Klum? How did you manage these two people?" Sarah was particularly surprised. These two, not to mention Ethan, even herself... couldn't even think of poaching from Ford Company. .

How did Ethan do it?
"Using some special means, they will sign a contract with our company within this year." Ethan did not reveal much.

"Could it be that two people are pregnant?!" Sarah Douglas suddenly thought of something.

Firstly, she knew about Ethan's previous scandal with Bridget Hall. Secondly, Ethan was an athlete, so there was absolutely no way to do this through normal channels. Thinking about the relationship between Ethan and Lisa, this was the only way. !
"This is the first time I've seen someone poaching like this. You're really interesting."

"This is more or less an accident." Ethan said.

"Won't two people conflict? I don't want to see them fighting in the company."

"You don't have to worry about that. In short, do what you should do as agreed before."

Ethan looked at the furnishings in the room, and one of the photos aroused Ethan's interest.

That's a picture of Sarah Douglas when she was young.

"I was also a model when I was young, and I was still very beautiful at that time." Sarah said casually, taking a sip of the whiskey in her glass.

"It's not a bad time either."

"Stop talking nonsense, I am not a young model who is so easy to fool." Sarah Douglas said coldly.

"Have you ever been married?"

"Of course, but we divorced early, I have always kept my ex-husband's surname. My original surname was Chambers, and I have a sister, Emma Chambers, a Hollywood actress."

"I've heard of this name."

Ethan turned his head and looked at Sarah Douglas. From this angle, he could see a straight skirt on her lower body and black stockings on her exposed calves.

"Don't think too badly of me. I have seen too many young and handsome male models, and you don't even rank among them." Sarah said deliberately.

"I'm not interested in a middle-aged woman at all. After all, you're still a little behind Lisa." Ethan mentioned Lisa.

"That's enough, you can leave my office." Sure enough, Sarah Douglas seemed very unhappy when Lisa was mentioned.

"See you next time," Ethan said, then turned around.

As Ethan walked out of the office, he met Kate Moss, who was also stunned by Ethan's sudden appearance.

After getting over the reputation crisis caused by the breakup, Kate Moss's modeling career has been uneventful in the past two years.Ethan suddenly asked her:
"I would like to know more about Sarah Douglas from you."
