Chapter 762: Younger Siblings (1)
"Do you perhaps have something against me?"
At Yoo-Jin's question, Ryan Kim, the executive director and interpreter, looked flustered. "What... What do you mean? Why would I have anything against you, Miss Yoo-Jin?"
"If I walk out there wearing that Butterfly, the whole world is going to point fingers at me. There'll be headlines claiming Jung Yoo-Jin stole her hoobae's spot."
Just last week, Jang So-Yeon had already gained attention for wearing the Butterfly.
If the most famous star in Korea, Yoo-Jin, received it now, she would be taking that image away from Jang So-Yeon. Yoo-Jin drew a clear line and refused even the powerful offer from Louis' Batton's Vice President Lopez, saying she couldn't rob her hoobae of her image.
For a moment, Ryan Kim, who had tried to sway Yoo-Jin with money, turned red in the face. So did Lopez, who heard the interpretation.
"W-We didn't mean it like that..."
Still smiling, Yoo-Jin answered firmly again. "I know. I believe you didn't. But the outcome would be obvious. And in that case, I don't think it would be a good look for Louis' Batton either."
Lopez swallowed his embarrassment and asked again, "Miss Jung, what do you mean it wouldn't be good for Louis' Batton?"
"Don't you think it would give the impression that Louis' Batton, the world's top luxury brand, just swaps out its models without hesitation?"
"Ah..."
It was a pointed remark. Despite having discovered and spotlighted the rookie Jang So-Yeon, the brand would now be seen as discarding her after one use.
