Collins stood with his arms crossed, a glint of insight In his eyes. “Actually, wearing a monk adds a mysterious allure. Trust me, when this ad hits the screens, it’s gonna blow the roof off <b>sales </b>for the brand.” As a top–notch agent, Collins <b>had </b>a keen eye for potential hits.
Gina nodded in agreement, “You’re not kidding. Just looking at her in that get–up makes me wanna rush out and snag one for myself.” The vibe was just spot–on.
While they were deep in discussion, Leo had finished changing. He stepped out Into a slight chill and felt the briskness through his thin sportswear, so he doubled back to grab his jacket. It was only after zipping up that he felt somewhatfortable.
Leo approached his sister, huddling within his coat. “Mira, aren’t you cold?”
“I’m good,” Mirabe replied, unfazed. Her constitution had grown stronger than the average person’s after over a year of rigorous training, so a bit of cold was nothing to her.
Leo, however, insisted, “You should probably put on your jacket anyway. Wouldn’t want to catch a cold shooting this… damnedmercial and regret itter.”
Mirabe watched him quietly, a silent sigh in her heart. In the morning, Shawn’s take on showbiz was all fun and games, and now here was her brother calling <b>a </b>five million dor ad ‘damned‘–was it herck of imagination, or did poverty indeed have a ceiling?
After a moment’s pause, she simply stated, “I’m stronger than I look.”

The central za of the pedestrian street had been rented out and cordoned off for the shoot, all equipment at the ready.
The brand’s advertising manager’s eyes sparkled at the sight of Mirabe in her sportswear–it was even better than he’d imagined. He’d been drawn to her when he first saw her in Country Comfort, sporting simr attire. Although she hadn’t shown her face and had minimal screen time in the live show, she somehow radiated a protagonist’s aura.
That was why the buzz online wasn’t about the top star Juztin, nor the award–winning actress Heather, and not even the veteran actor Hans, but about Juztin’s sister, Mirabe.
Thepany hadn’t initially nned on hiring Juztin and <b>his </b>sister, mainly because their endorsement fee exceeded that of average A–list celebrities. Plus, the marketing department had reservations about Mirabe’s faceless approach to advertising. it was risky, potentially a major loss.
Nevertheless, he felt so strongly that Mirabe was the perfect fit that he’d staked his job on it, vowing to leave thepany if the ad didn’t hit its sales targets.
The manager, who had been somewhat nervous, now fully trusted his instincts. With his excitement contained, he approached Mirabe and Leo with the script in hand, outlining his creative vision.
