Chapter 683 Inverse Scales (Repair)
Any metropolis that should be as bright as heaven in the hearts of ordinary people will have dark corners like hell.
The same is true in Manhattan.
The Gralf family, who fell directly into the valley from the clouds of the city, had a deep understanding of this during this period. Laura Gralf lost her job in the restaurant last month because of attacking diners. Simon suggested that Grace, who was already impatient, drove the mother and daughter out of the apartment she rented for them.
The three of them, who had completely gone bankrupt, felt the feeling of being left on the street for the first time.
Real fall joints.
Except for the few clothes that Grace threw out together, the three of them had only less than $20 in cash in total, and a meal was not enough.
He called some old friends in the past with some expectations, but in the end, the whole of Manhattan was still hiding from them like a plague god. In the end, Laura Gralf called the family of his three brothers. In any case, this was their last retreat.
The phone was connected, but just as soon as he spoke, my elder brother hung up the phone very hard. They were obviously still holding a grudge because of her stinginess that caused the children at home to miss Brown University.
The second and third brothers did not hang up the phone immediately.
After chatting for a few words, I heard that she wanted to move her two daughters back to Georgia for a while, but they immediately refused. Throughout their words, they all knew that the Gralf family was in trouble in New York. They were just ordinary small farmers in the southern United States and did not want to provoke these things.
Without the help of three brothers, it would be impossible for her to force her to return to Georgia with her two daughters, because she could not afford the travel fee.
The first night is coming soon.
The mother and daughter wandered between the brightly lit streets of Manhattan until late at night and found that the city was so big, but there was no place for them to live. Until they finally couldn't walk, they found a park. With the different eyes of the homeless people around who seemed to emerge from the ground, they shrank in a corner of the lawn of the park for a night.
The next morning, the younger daughter quarreled with Laura Gralf because of breakfast, thinking that she had annoyed Grace, causing the three of them to live on the streets now.
The eldest daughter also had a little more hatred in her eyes.
Laura Gralf has no good temper, so she directly hit her little daughter in the face. She felt that if it weren't for these two scoundrels, she would have been more relaxed. After being angry, she said bluntly that she didn't want to follow her and just got out of here. Didn't she like to run away from home? Anyway, there is no home now, so she can go wherever she wants.
After a little quarrel, they still got together.
Always live.
Laura Gralf tried to find another job, but after three days of trouble, both the waiters in the restaurant and malls and the small business that recruited the front desk to do odd jobs, but there were several companies who were obviously interested in Laura Gralf's appearance, but they quickly got some reminders and drove her out again.
On the fourth night, a man driving by car noticed the three mother and daughter huddled in a corner of James Park in Greenwich Village. He stepped forward to "chat up" and learned that the three daughters were actually mother and daughter. His eyes were even green and he directly offered a high price of $1,000, as long as the three of them got into the car.
$1,000, if it were before, not even enough for Laura Gralf to buy a bottle of cosmetics.
Now, the mother and daughter who have not had a ton of full meals for a few days have reached their weakest moments. Of course, they also know what kind of women men regard them as. For $1,000, they can find a place to have a good sleep, have a very good meal, can...
The man seemed to see Laura Gralf's looseness and directly raised the price to $1,500.
Then, the eldest daughter, Cathy Gralf, suddenly broke out and shouted that the man would get out of here.
The man was very patient and said that this was already a very high price. The top call girl in Manhattan could only get so much. The ordinary street girl only costs $50 at a time. When she noticed Cathy Gralf's resistance, the man took a step back and said that she could do nothing and just get in the car together.
Noting that Cathy Gralf pulled his sister from his mother again, the man took a step back and said with great sensation that their sisters all just need to watch.
Laura Gralf, who was still a little shameful, saw the reaction of a pair of daughters and thought about it to test whether the man could get in the car alone. Unexpectedly, the man turned against him immediately. Although he did not refuse, he directly reduced the price from $1,500 to $100.
After whining, the mother and daughter finally got on the Ford sedan parked on the side of the road.
Immediately, the police descended from the sky.
In New York, something is illegal.
The mother and daughter were imprisoned for the first time.
A full five days.
There are many people in this world who deliberately commit crimes and live in prison because they can't survive. However, if they have been to prison, they probably never want to go back to that place in their lifetime.
The mother and daughter committed no serious crime. However, after learning about the relationship between the three girls, even the prison guards who were used to seeing all kinds of evil things could not stand Laura Gralf, who actually brought her two daughters to do such things, so her attitude towards her became even worse.
Asked if there is a contact person who can bail them, Laura Gralf can only leave Grace's phone number.
When the mother and daughter thought Grace Spurt had completely forgotten them, the agent lady finally appeared five days later, and then they moved into the basement of the East Village District.
This is the public dormitory prepared by Elite for contracted models in the early stage of her career.
The small room, four beds, kitchen and bathroom are all public, but that's the case, each bed costs $1,000 per month, which is enough to rent a single room outside. However, this is actually one of the sources of revenue generated by modeling agencies. Since you sign a contract with Elite, if you want to receive training, become famous, and become a supermodel, you must accept the company's arrangements, or be more accurate and squeezed.
After the rescheduling, the mother and daughter will have $2,000 in living expenses per month. The money comes from Laura Gralf’s two daughters, $1,000 each, and Grace said she will continue to raise them.
As for Laura Gralf, she was arranged as the assistant of her two daughters. She only accompanied them to various model training courses and occasionally sporadic work. She basically couldn't get on stage to test the model, and gave various studios clothes racks, but she had no chance to show her face like magazine catwalks.
In fact, this is the survival status of most young models in the early stages of their careers.
There are so many beautiful girls in this world, and it is not that easy to stand out just by just having a figure and face.
After arranging these, Grace seemed to forget the three of them again. One thing that needs to be notified on weekdays is just the agent's assistant.
After experiencing sleeping on the streets and being imprisoned, the mother and daughter finally realized their own situation.
The bright and pampering and pampering society in Manhattan has completely left them. Now, the Gralf family is just a few ants at the bottom of this metropolis.
A new day.
I don’t remember what day it was today, it was probably the end of July, and it was probably a Friday.
Laura Gralf was awakened by the quarrels, and she sat up irritably from the single bed with a hard-board upper and lower bunk that had not been used to for weeks. She saw her little daughter Victoria rushing back to the room with tears on her face, crying and falling on the other side of the bed, outside the sound of her eldest daughter quarreling with another girl.
After cursing softly, Laura Gralf lay down again with her head covering.
Don't want to worry.
Actually, it can't be a big deal.
The girls who broke into this metropolis and struggled to climb up would be as docile as kittens in front of those big men, but there were few who were really easy to talk to each other.
Soon, the eldest daughter also choked and walked in from outside.
He threw the washbasin on the ground randomly, towels and teeth scattered all over the ground. When he noticed that his mother was covering her thin blanket on her head, she deliberately ignored her. Cathy Gralf kicked the plastic washbasin again, and the crackling sound came.
Laura Gralf immediately sat up and stared at her eldest daughter: "Cathy, do you think these things are not worth spending money?"
Tears were still flowing out of Cathy Gralf's eyes, and he stepped on the cracked plastic basin and stared at his mother: "The money was earned by Vicky and I, you are spending our money."
After being pushed by her daughter, Laura Gralf was a little angry and blurted out in distracted voice: "I am your mother."
Cathy Gralf was unwilling to let him go: "I don't have a mom like you. If you hadn't angered Ms. Grace, how could we live here? Ms. Grace was so kind to us at first, it was all you, it was because of you."
The mother and daughter were arguing, while another tall blonde girl walked in from outside with her toiletries.
Seeing the scattered room, a girl named Angela Lindelwald said nothing. She placed the toiletries on the shelf, silently climbed onto the upper bed of Victoria Gralf, found the makeup tools from the storage cabinet at the head of the bed and began to draw on her face.
Angela Lindelwald is 15 years old and from Kansas City, Missouri, central America.
Since last year, the girl has frequently sent her information to model agency in New York, and was initially signed under the Spectrum Model Agency. Daniela Psteva, who was highly praised by Elite during this period, comes from this company.
However, the spectrum model agency is now on the verge of bankruptcy, and its models are starting to go their separate ways. Grace noticed Angela when she poached Daniela Psteva from this company and found that the girl was also a good seedling, so she dug it up together.
Temporarily arranged here.
Ms. Grace has already reminded her in advance not to have too much interaction with these three women. Moreover, if they have any special actions on weekdays, they should call her at any time. The smart Angela naturally understands that from Ms. Grace's arrangements for her on weekdays, she knows that this agent is really working hard to cultivate her, so she becomes more obedient.
Today I am going to work as a trial model at the studio of the famous designer Isaac Mizrahi. It is said that the other party is still working with Gaomen Pictures, a subsidiary of Daenerys Entertainment, to shoot a documentary. He may have the chance to appear. It is rare. Angela has no intention of paying attention to the mess of the mother and daughter.
Ignoring the quarrels in my ears and carefully prepared, Angela finally changed into a set of navel-exposed T-shirt and hot jeans that showed off her figure. She completely ignored the mother and daughter who were still fighting each other, and left the dormitory with her bags on her back.
Seeing Angela leaving vigorously, Cathy Gralf put away his thoughts of fighting with his mother and began to prepare.
She also has a job today.
As for breakfast and other things, where does the model need breakfast?
As soon as I threw foundation on my face, some movement sounded outside the dormitory. This was a greeting sound. The girl who had just quarreled with her happened to be in the voice, and her tone seemed pleasing and humble.
Cathy Gralf had just stood up next to the dressing table stuck between the beds on both sides, and was still wearing a black OL suit, but Grace Spult, who had obviously had a bit of a strong womanish atmosphere during this period, walked in.
After sending Angela behind her back, Grace looked at the scattered room, her face showed displeasure, but she just said to the three girls: "Come on, change your clothes and follow me." She said that, then turned to Cathy again, frowned and said, "Wipe off your face, what does it look like."
Cathy Gralf felt a little aggrieved. He just threw himself into the foundation, of course he wouldn't look good, but he didn't dare to refute it and even smiled at Grace.
Laura Gralf sat up from the bed and saw that Grace was becoming more and more radiant during this period, as if she was much younger. The hatred in her heart surged up again. She never forgot that the woman snatched her opportunity and the opportunity to climb Simon Westeros.
That's Simon Westeros.
However, Laura Gralf, who was just resentful and did not want to experience the things at the beginning of the month, did not dare to show any hostility.
Although this place is not much better than a prison, it is still unnecessary to sleep on the streets, and it is considered as having no worries about food and clothing.
As for my past life, I haven't even appeared in my dreams a few times during this period.
The mother and daughter obediently put on their clothes and did not put on makeup. Then they left the dormitory with Grace, came to the outside street, and got into Grace's car. Cathy Gralf asked carefully: "Ms. Grace, what are we going to do?"
Grace glanced at the mother and daughter who were huddling in the back seat, but did not answer, but just started the car.
The car traveled between the crowded streets in Manhattan for half an hour, and Grace finally took the mother and daughter to a women's club on Lesington Avenue in the Upper East Side.
The whole morning followed, Laura Gralf felt as if she had returned to the past.
More than a dozen professional technicians revolve around the mother and daughter.
From head to toe, haircut, eyebrow trimming, hair removal, skin care, manicure, massage...
At noon, due to the past few months of experience, the mother and daughter, who were originally in a bad state, returned to the exquisiteness of the women in the Upper East Side. In the end, someone sent a bunch of luxury brands for the family of three to choose from. Even Laura Gralf had never had this treatment before.
Although during the morning maintenance process, several girls who looked like nurses took away several blood samples from three people and took samples in their mouths and other private parts, as if they were undergoing physical examinations, the Gralf family did not care about these details.
Nothing is gone.
Grace Spulte could never sell them.
Even, what can I do if I sell it? It won’t be worse than living in a basement, right?
