    Monica widened her eyes to take a closer look.


    She was curious to see who this legendary Rose really was.


    Rose, the flower?


    She scoffed internally. Did she really live up to that name?


    With the highest degree of scrutiny, Monica turned her attention to the unfolding scene.


    The water’s surface danced with ripples of light.


    A stunningly beautiful woman emerged, capturing everyone’s gaze, including Monica’s.


    Despite being a woman herself, Monica found it nearly impossible to look away, even just


    for a moment.


    The emerging figure bore a cold and morous demeanor, her face devoid of any smile. However, her


    asionally shifting gaze radiated a mesmerizing, almost bewitching allure.


    Her blue mermaid tail fluttered gracefully in the water, while her golden tresses gently


    cascaded down her smooth back.


    Then, the woman’s upper body fully emerged, revealing a slender waist and an impressively


    voluptuous bust.


    Whether it was her face or her figure, the woman exuded femininity to the extreme.


    Is… is this Rose?


    Monica waspletely stunned.


    Susan, too, couldn’t help but marvel at the sight of Rose, her eyes filled with amazement.


    She had seen Rose’s photos and knew of her dazzling presence on the runway.


    Yet, as someone had mentioned earlier, the Rose in front of them seemed a hundred times more


    captivating than she was on the runway.


    This woman was indeed an enchanting siren!


    The people at the scene were utterly enchanted, their faces reflecting awe and fascination

    as they watched Rose move.


    As Rose gracefully swam towards the shore, everyone’s gaze followed her, captivated by her every


    move.


    Once she sat elegantly on the shore, people continued to gaze at her, entranced.


    A beauty was indeed a beauty, effortlessly perfect in every posture.


    “What are you all standing around for?” the director yelled, snapping everyone back to reality. “Help her


    with that tail! Let Rose take a break.”


    “Yes!” the crew members hurriedly responded, suddenly jolted from their trance.


    “Miss Rose, I’m sorry. You looked so beautiful that I was momentarily mesmerized,” one of them


    apologized with embarrassment.


    Theresa offered a yful smile and said, “No worries. It’s the highestpliment for me.”


    Her friendly and gentle demeanor, devoid of any supermodel arrogance, instantly won over the hearts


    of the crew members.

    After removing the mermaid tail, Theresa was ushered into the changing room. She quickly changed


    into casual clothes and was immediately called over by the director.


    “Rose, let me brief you on the uing shots. Firstly, you need to…” the director began, exining in


    detail.


    Theresa listened intently, not daring to ck off even a bit.


    Although she had already achieved some sess on the runway, advertising was apletely new


    ball game for her.


    She knew that she needed to put in extra effort to achieve favorable results.


    She was determined to seize the opportunity Storm Group had given her with both hands.


    “Mrs. Landor, I wasn’t exaggerating at all, was I? Miss Rose is truly outstanding, isn’t she?”


    by astonishing.” the man from earlier hurriedly chimed in, “Your discernment is truly astonishing.”


    Susan watched Theresa, now dressed casually, from a distance and let out a rxed smile.

    She had made a casual suggestion, never expecting Ben to take it seriously, which had put a


    considerable amount of pressure on her.


    However, seeing Rose’s performance now, the majority of her worries melted


    away.


    This Rose was undoubtedly a gem among women.


    Her recent portrayal of a mermaid, a cold yet tempting siren, perfectly matched the theme of the Storm


    Group’s Allure series.


    This advertising campaign was in the bag.


    Monica had also been impressed by Theresa’s performance just now. But hearing someone praise


    Susan’s judgement, she couldn’t hold back her remarks.


    With a sour tone, Monicamented, “I think she’s just so–so? This woman seems like a flirtatious


    type. I’m afraid respectable women won’t appreciate her as a spokesperson.”


    Susan frowned, about to say something, when suddenly a voice interrupted, “Respectable woman?


    Miss, in your opinion, what constitutes a ‘respectable woman‘?”


    Monica turned her head and saw Theresa standing with her arms crossed, a sardonic


    smile on her face.


    Theresa was squinting her eyes. She came over because a staff member informed her that Mrs.


    Landor was inspecting the set.


    Thinking that she got the spokesperson role thanks to Susan’s word, she decided toe over to


    express her gratitude.


    Unexpectedly, she walked into such a conversation.


    What was even more amusing was that she had seen this woman who was speaking behind her back


    before.


    Wasn’t this the woman who came with Thomas on the day of the blind date?


    Of course, Monica probably didn’t recognize her now, given how different she looked from that day.


    Honestly, Theresa had thought Monica’s bizarre behavior that day was just a performance. to help


    Thomas.

    But it seemed, could this be her true nature?


    Monica looked at Theresa and, without any realization of being caught badmouthing. disdainfully


    nced at her before speaking, “Just look at your T–shirt, so short that your waist might show with a


    slight movement. And those jeans, so tight, who are you trying to seduce? I’ve seen many women like


    you, climbing thedder through seduction. Did I say. something wrong by calling you improper?


    Women like us dress modestly, wearing skirts. that cover our knees, even hiding our ankles to maintain


    adylike demeanor, understand?”


    Monica spoke with a lecturing tone, appearing like a pure white lotus swaying in the wind. in her white


    dress.


    Theresa looked at her and suddenly burst intoughter.


    “What are youughing at?” Monica fumed.


    Theresa said, “Nothing really, just finding your jealous demeanor quite amusing.”


    “Jealous? What do I have to be jealous of?” Monica’s anger escted.


    “Obviously, it’s because I’m prettier and have a better figure than you,” Theresa replied with an


    innocent face. “Look at the dress you’re wearing, with that thick white fabric at the chest. Is it because


    you’re quite t–chested and trying to conceal it?”


    As she spoke, Theresa entuated herment by pushing out her chest, disying her


    full bosom.


    Monica indeed was quite t in the chest department, and Theresa had pinpointed her weakness,


    infuriating her even more. “You…”


    “And another thing,” Theresa continued unabashedly, “the loose design of your dress, not daring to


    reveal your waist – could it be that your waist is too thick and you don’t want to show it off? And is your


    dress so long to cover those chunky legs of yours? I must say, you chose your dress well; it covers all


    your ws nicely. You absolutely cannot wear the kind. of outfit I’m wearing. It would be a disaster on


    you.”


    Monica was speechless.


    She waspletely stunned by Theresa’s torrent of words.


    After a brief pause, Monica managed to say in a sharp tone, “I wouldn’t stoop to wearing the kind of


    clothes you have on.”

    “Whether it’s disdain or fear of wearing it, only you would know,” Theresa chuckled. “Feel free to use


    the ‘respectable person‘ excuse to cover up your truly disastrous figure.”
