American winner takes all

Chapter 443: The Temple is Completed

An in-house gym in London.

Ethan watched Isabel Geller bend down in yoga pants. The muscle contours of her abdomen were unusually clear. Although much weaker than Ethan's, it was very rare for a model, which was enough to prove that Isabel had a special liking for the gym.

Then Ethan supported her waist from below. With her palm in close contact, Isabel's face flushed and her movements became a little stiff and awkward.

"Relax and take a deep breath." Ethan looked into her eyes.

Isabel had a pair of brown eyes that slightly reflected the light and looked like a pair of amber, sparkling. But when these eyes met Ethan's gaze, they were quickly covered with a layer of mist.

"Boss..." Isabel suddenly felt hot all over, as if she was sick. Her brain was blank and her consciousness was as stagnant as paste.

"Boss, I'm grown up now, I can..." Isabel said with some difficulty.

"Can what?"

"...Yes, I can love you." Isabel lowered her eyes and spoke in a voice as soft as a mosquito.

Almost everyone in the company knew that she liked her boss. This man allowed her to live in Europe, gave her a new life, provided guidance when she was confused in life, and helped her when she needed it most, allowing her to get to where she is today.

It can be said that her attitude towards Ethan is very complicated. In her eyes, Ethan is a combination of father, brother and lover.

Ethan was half hugging her at this time. Isabel straightened up, put her arms around Ethan's neck and kissed him. The "snake of the mouth" brought with it moist heat and a special strawberry aroma. She didn't need any guidance from Ethan. Her attack seemed passionate and eager, as if she wanted to vent out years of repression.

The young girl who was easily overlooked in the past will be the heroine today.

"and many more……"

"Isabelle!"

"This is in the company's gym!" Ethan was kissed and hugged by Isabel, and he reminded her at this time.

"The others are watching." Ethan gestured to the assistants in the distance.

"I just want them to see it! It will make it more exciting this way." Isabel had a devilish smile on her face.

At the same time, Ethan felt her intention to approach and the small movements of her willow waist, and he knew that she was ready to go.

"You wouldn't dare, would you, boss?" Isabel smiled.

"Is this a joke you came up with on the spur of the moment?" Ethan covered Isabel's head with his hands, and Isabel cooperated by kneeling on her knees.

·
“This is work time.”

"To be precise, the work is about to end. A group of workers will come in soon. We have to seal off this place."

"bleeding!"

"Ethan is so lucky!"

The four assistants who were standing at the door and peeking in from a distance looked at the two of them and started talking to each other.

Little did they know that both the previous playboy girls and Isabel had been with Ethan for a long time. The fundamental reason for this phenomenon was, of course, that there was never a shortage of beautiful women around Ethan. The modeling agency, cheerleading team and playboy team together had nearly hundreds of scouts. These people were scattered across the United States and even around the world, recruiting potential new stars for the company, not to mention the annual talent show.

If we add the three beauty pageants of Miss Universe, Miss America and Miss Teen America, the competition within the company will only become more "fierce".

At the same time, as Ethan showed off his exaggerated back muscles, the four assistants became intoxicated and felt the air was a little hot and unbearable.

"Are you distracted?" Susan looked at the three assistants and asked directly.

The three of them couldn't help but laugh at this blunt question.

These three people originally worked for Epstein, and now they follow Ethan. Of course, they can't speculate with the mindsets of an ordinary assistant.

Before Susan could continue teasing, her cell phone rang. It was one of Ethan's work numbers.

Susan looked down and saw that the caller's location was Eastern Europe.

"I want to speak to Ethan," Brunel said on the phone.

He had just been exiled to Eastern Europe, and he asked to speak to Ethan so quickly, which must have shown that he had discovered something.

"The boss is busy now." Susan looked up at the two people in the distance who were performing a difficult show using fitness equipment.

"Okay, then please ask him to call me as soon as possible after that!" Brunel hung up the phone.

·
"Ethan," Isabel whispered.

Two lines of tears rolled down her cheeks, and it was unclear whether it was because of pain or because of being touched, or both.

"No, I just simply feel joy." Isabel wiped away her tears with a smile on her lips, a kind of peace that came from "getting what you wanted".

This actually made Ethan feel heavy in his heart. From his own perspective, it seemed that he didn't do anything.

Thinking of this, Ethan felt deeply fortunate. How could he be surrounded and loved by so many women? There seemed to be no better explanation than that he had saved the world in his previous life.

He reached out his hand and soothed her gently, while Isabel in his arms kissed him slowly, starting from his cheek, to his neck and then to his chest.

"Come back to Los Angeles with me." Ethan stroked her hair.

Isabel nodded heavily.

At this point, the three models that Ethan originally brought from Brazil have all moved into Ethan's home.

At this time, Ethan saw Susan holding up her cell phone in the distance. Obviously someone was looking for him, so he patted Isabel, and the latter stood up obediently.

"Can't you wait for me to take a shower first?"

"Brunel said he has something important to discuss with you."

"Could it be that they have discovered another top model?" Ethan suddenly became excited.

Just as Ethan expected, Brunel read out a list directly on the other end of the phone. After arriving at the newly established Eastern European branch, Brunel immediately began searching, and finally found several ideal candidates.

One of the names immediately caught Ethan's attention. "Eugenia Volodina? I also think she is the best among this group, but her situation is a bit special. She just signed a contract with a small modeling agency in Paris last year. The contract still has 4 years left. If we want her, we have to pay a penalty."

"How much?" Ethan calculated.

"It's going to be expensive, we expect it to cost millions of euros."

"I'll let Rafaela Pimenta take charge of this matter and send a copy to several other partners for review." Ethan said.

All important strategies will be reviewed by other partners. Since everyone is on the same boat, it is natural that no individual will be allowed to do anything small that would harm the interests of everyone.

"Really?" Brunel on the other end of the phone looked incredulous. He didn't expect Ethan to agree so quickly.

"The premise is that she is willing to change her agency." Ethan reminded.

It is not a good thing to spend a lot of money to buy a girl who is unwilling to cooperate.

"Of course, in addition to the penalty, there is also an additional signing fee. Ethan, we are a large multinational company with the best athletes in the world. I don't know how much stronger we are than a small company like Paris. You have to have some confidence."

"According to what you said, it's not just Eugenia Volodina. We are also very attractive to other models."

"Of course, we have gathered together a 'magician' like Sarah Douglas and the legendary agent Michael Ovitz. This is a veritable Avengers Alliance. I see... Do you want me to continue poaching?" Brunel realized something.

By poaching models from other companies, you can quickly acquire a huge resource of models. What normally takes years to accomplish now only takes a few months. As a price, this will incur a considerable amount of money.

"That's right. Not only in Eastern Europe, we are going to implement similar strategies in the other four model-producing regions. Of course, we will not take the initiative to provoke the largest model agencies in the industry. This is the premise." Ethan believed that this trick could help him pick up a lot of "leaks".

For example, Eugenia mentioned by Brunel before, she is the top Russian supermodel nicknamed "Queen Eugene".

After ending the call with Brunel, Ethan threw the phone to the other secretaries and walked towards the private shower room attached to the gym.

"Want to come together?" Ethan looked at Susan with interest.

Ethan, who has been through many battles and experienced countless big scenes, is no longer someone that Isabel can replace.

"Now?" Susan hesitated.

"Don't pretend. I just saw your staring eyes. Maybe you're seriously flooded?" Ethan teased.

Susan blushed and was about to step back when Ethan caught her. When the truth came out, Susan covered her face in embarrassment, trying to hide her guilt.

The other three assistants couldn't help but snicker when they saw this.

He was so arrogant just now, but he didn't expect to be the first one to be exposed.

"And these three, they want it too." Seeing this, Susan immediately prepared to drag the three of them into the water.

"Really?" Ethan looked at the three of them.

Now it was the turn of these three people to have stiff faces.

Ethan hooked his finger at the three people, and they walked in obediently.

"There's a saying that goes 'Secretaries have the job'. Do you know the next sentence?" Ethan asked the four people.

·
The "recruitment operation" officially began the next day, and Ethan planned to stay in London until the day before the stadium's ribbon-cutting ceremony.

In addition to "Queen Eugene", Brunel once again made an effort to recommend famous Eastern European models such as Natalia Vodianova to Ethan.

Compared to Queen Eugene, Ethan is much less interested in Natalia Vodianova, who is also a top Russian model.

This so-called "Crown Princess" will get married within two years of modeling, and her ability to generate income is not as good as Queen Eugene. Considering that her current penalty for breach of contract is five times that of Eugenia, Ethan directly passed her over.

He wants to launch a money offensive in the modeling industry, but that doesn't mean he wants to be a rich man.

It is under the guidance of this cost-effective thinking that Angel Model Agency has won many female models with great cost-effectiveness in this round.

The top bidder is a Brazilian model named Fernanda Tavares, who once left a stunning glimpse of "Angel Tears" on the Victoria's Secret stage, which amazed the world. She is also a well-known Brazilian female model. Although she and Gisele belong to different agencies, they already know each other and have a good relationship. She appeared on the Victoria's Secret stage last year.

She also had a falling out with her former employer, and Ethan took action behind the scenes to redeem her and gave her a new "indenture". Although it was still an indenture, Ethan at least had some conscience and promised to give her more resources in the future.

If Ethan was not in a hurry to get back, he would have asked these newcomers who had just joined the company to come to London to meet him, but time did not allow it. However, if they missed this time, they could not miss the next time. This year's Victoria's Secret Fashion Show has not started yet, and these models will gather together again at that time...

"This is a historic moment. Half a century ago, we saw the completion of Memorial Stadium, and today, the City of Angels has a new landmark - Angel Stadium!" As Mayor James Hahn finished his speech, the curtain behind him fell, revealing the magnificent logo of Angel Stadium.

Those who attended the dedication ceremony, including Ethan, Michael Ovitz, Wayne Huizenga, and family representative Catherine's cousin, all applauded. The surrounding media pressed the flash and shutter, and the sound of cameras continued.

Standing in front of the magnificent stadium, Ethan and the others looked particularly small. The whole building was oval in shape. In addition to the pure white roof that could be opened and closed freely, the outer glass curtain wall had obvious stained glass elements, and the murals inside imitated the religious style of a church, making this stadium a perfect fusion of classic and modern, worthy of the name "Temple".

In addition to the people on the stage, there were also a group of VIPs in the audience, including Katherine, Gisele and other wives, Victoria's Secret Marketing Director Razek, the father and daughter of the big golden retriever who flew in from the East Coast, and the father and daughter of the Cowboys Jones, and several club owners also came in person to congratulate. But the league commissioner Paul, who should have been present, was not there, which was a special signal.

"Ethan, we need to talk about the development work around the stadium!" During the banquet after the ceremony, the big golden retriever said to Ethan impatiently.

Now the land around the stadium is controlled by Ethan, who wants to develop it into a comprehensive commercial entity, similar to the Star City that Jones Sr. built in Texas.

This is the most important reason why the big golden retriever came in person. In his eyes, this is a piece of fat meat.

However, Ethan did not agree, but instead mentioned several beauty pageants that the big golden retriever was holding.

"It's okay if you want to sell it to you, but the prerequisite is that I have to keep a part of the shares." said the big golden retriever.

Then he noticed that Ethan looked at his daughter not far away.

At this time, there was a young man next to Ivana and was chatting her up.

"You are not allowed to pay attention to her." The big golden retriever reminded again.

"It seems that you brought her here on your own initiative?"

"Who told her to clamor to come over?" The big golden retriever said helplessly. He attended the opening ceremony this time and also brought his daughter over.

Ethan patted his shoulder and almost said: You go, I will raise your daughter.
