A Shrewd Businesswoman Indeed

The arrival of a Foreign Visitor (FV) sometime ago caused a quiet but intriguing scene behind the event. When FV came over, Celebrity Businesswoman (CB) was elated because they once shared a very fruitful partnership. Naturally, FV contacted CB and requested for the usual – a woman to keep him company. Assuming she knew his taste, CB sent his Favorite Talent (FT) of long ago.

FT came over and presented herself to FV, just like old times. However, when FV saw FT, he was very disappointed. FV wanted someone experienced, but youthful. FV did not want to have someone from his past who has already aged despite her young looks. Being generous, FV gave money to FT and sent her away.

Thus, FV called CB again and told her he did not want FT, as she was so like yesterday. FV wanted fresh looks and not someone who has had a depth of experiences and a number of men. Thus, to save face, CB had to look into the roster of talents who fit the criteria. Finally, she identified two friends, who are both articulate and smart. In case FV might want decent conversation afterward, CB was sure that Versatile Talent (VT) and Intelligent Celebrity (IC) would impress FV.

Given that VT and IC are not just ordinary talents, as they are accomplished personalities in their networks, CB quoted a hefty price. FV agreed as he could afford it, as the exchange rate was not that high anyway.

All went well. VT and IC were happy with their fee, and having been introduced to FV, they have now established a connection with the man. Connections with FV are very significant, as some local actresses could attest to. FV is very generous and respected in the circles.

Guess who was happiest? CB, of course. What VT and IC did not know is that the fee they received from CB was just half of the money given by FV. Having been in the business for so many years, there is no question that CB is such a shrewd dealer. A few phone calls here and there, and she gets an amount most people could only dream about.
