Chapter 954 - Amassing A Lot Of Money
"My contract fee is very expensive. I want three times what you gave Anna," Elena said confidently, trying to scare Arka.
"Deal," Arka replied without thinking.
Elena got up from her chair and walked over to Arka. After that, she grabbed the man's collar. "Aside from releasing Michael, I have one additional condition."
Arka's face immediately changed after hearing that. "What is it?"
Elena laughed loudly seeing the tension on Arka's face. "Did you think I would ask you to accompany me for one night?"
"I'm not joking. If your request is reasonable, I will try to fulfill it," Arka said seriously.
Elena saw Arka's face changed so her laughter immediately stopped. "My brother is a very loyal person and he loves Maddison very much. I don't know what you think about someone with cancer. During this time, he struggled to survive and fight his illness. Now he's back to meet Maddison. Can you help him?"
"If they really love each other, I will help them. All this time, Maddison remained alone. I don't think she can forget Henry either," said Arka.
Elena's eyes immediately lit up when she heard that. "Is that true? But I heard that she has a boyfriend now. They said her current boyfriend is younger than her."
Arka understood who Elena meant. "The two young men near Maddison were my sister's son, Jason, and the other was her godson, Rio. I don't know which one you mean, but those two are Maddy's cousins."
"Alright, help my brother's problem then!" Elena said happily. She can help her brother and can get three times the cost. Arka didn't mind that either.
Arka promises to help Henry to chase Maddison back and he will also forget about Michael's actions.
Thus, Elena was willing to shoot until the morning.
She read the contract Arka gave her carefully and signed it after confirming that there were no problems.
"I've signed it. Are you willing to stay here and accompany me until morning?" Elena winked at Arka.
"It took time to do the make up for the photo shoot. Before that, I had already prepared dinner. Since I promised you, I still won't forget the dinner etiquette. As for tonight's shoot, I can accompany you," Arka gave Elena several options.
Elena smiled at him and looked at the man. "I'm glad you want to accompany me to dinner. After that, you can go home. There's no point in you staying here either."
Arka nodded and led Elena to the second floor. In another room, Maya was waiting for them.
"Elena, welcome," Maya immediately greeted her and asked the maids to prepare food and open bottles of wine for them.
"My niece, Maya. She is the daughter of my sister, Nadine Atmajaya, and the nephew of Della Mawardi. The Mawardi Group will be handed over to her soon," Arka briefly introduced Maya.
"Thank you for your help. Without you, maybe Mawardi Group wouldn't be able to get past this problem," Maya raised her glass and made a toast to Elena.
"I'm also happy with this collaboration." Elena got up and stood beside Maya. "Please help us with this photoshoot."
"Mawardi Group will soon introduce you as a new brand ambassador. I will show you the photo first before uploading it on social media. If there's no problem, I'll send it to you for you to upload," Maya said seriously.
"Does not matter. I still understand those kinds of things," since Arka had agreed to her request, Elena was in a happy mood and became very chatty.
Maya gave her cell phone to Arka. "Uncle, take a few more photos. I will choose the prettiest one."
"You two are beautiful. No matter what, you will still look pretty," Arka smiled and took the phone. He helped the two women to take lots of photos.
Since Elena is an actress, she knows what the right angle is for her. When Arka takes a photo, she knows how to pose.
"How about we call the staff for a group photo?" Elena said generously.
When the staff heard that they had to work late all night, they all complained. But when they heard that they would be working together with Elena, they all got excited.
However, so as not to upset Elena, Maya told them all to hide in a room and no one should come out without warning.
Now Elena invites them all to take a picture together. They will absolutely jump for joy.
What luck did they get today to be able to take pictures with a big star like Elena?
After taking photos together, the staff went to prepare everything. They just had to wait for Elena to finish eating and put on her makeup before starting the shoot.
There are lots of photos taken with Maya's phone, waiting to be edited. After that, she can directly upload it to the internet.
After the food was ready, Arka and Elena sat at the dining table.
"Arka, why do you love Sabrina so much?" Elena asked.
"Since I was young, I felt that if I wanted to live with a woman for the rest of my life, I just wanted to live with Sabrina," Arka said calmly.
Elena nodded. "Lately, I've been thinking a lot. If I want to live with a man for the rest of my life, what kind of man would that be? At the very least, the man should be as handsome as you and also love me very much. I also hope that the man will accept me, not restrain me."
"We are the same type of person," Arka laughed.
"So we're not compatible," Elena replied honestly.
At that moment, Arka's cell phone suddenly rang. He answered the call and looked at the screen. "Michael is downstairs."
"You called him?" Elena looks surprised.
"He heard you were going to shoot all night today. He wanted to come to accompany you so I gave him the address," said Arka.
"I don't have time to accompany him. I have to work until morning," Elena said with a gloomy face.
At that moment, Michael suddenly opened the door and entered the room.
"You two talk. I'll go home first." Arka got up and left.
Elena glared at Michael "What are you doing?"
"Elena, I'm sorry. I heard for my sake, you agreed to work with Mawardi Group and become their brand ambassador. I didn't mean to hurt you. I didn't expect you to agree to Arka's terms for me." Michael was happy when he heard that.
"Why are you happy? I didn't do it for you. They paid a hefty fee for this photo shoot. I agreed because I wanted to earn money, not because of you," Elena said stiffly.
Michael was still laughing and smiling widely. "I know. You intend to make money, not for me. But I still feel happy. Elena, thank you. This time, I owe you. I'm willing to do anything for you."
"I heard my brother is going to take over the club. So, you are unemployed now huh? I need a bodyguard who can drive and cook. Would you like a job?" Elena asked casually.
"Of course!" Michael immediately agreed with enthusiasm.
"Besides cooking, driving and being a bodyguard, what else can you do?" Elena asked.
"I can also help you to manage your finances. I can make sure you make a lot of money and get richer," Michael said excitedly.
"Alright, I'll get my manager to let you do it. I always spend my money. Help me manage my money so I don't fall into poverty," Elena said depressedly.
"If you say you are poor, what about other people? Other women like to buy bags, clothes and jewelry, but you buy land instead. Now land prices have gone up. You can definitely make a lot of profit."
Elena shook her head. "Still not enough. My brother liked Maddison and wanted to marry her. The Atmajaya family is too rich. I have to help him earn money so he can marry the woman he loves."
