Owning Mary Jane part 1 - Job

Mary Jane had gotten what Nick had asked for, she had called in some favors and cashed in others, the contract she had gotten for Nick was for 4 years, she would have liked it to be shorter, but since her agency did not give her much work, since the price for Mary Jane to appear in an ad was too high, the brands would prefer another model or even look at another agency, And since Nick would be the head photographer, they would not give him a contract of 3 years or less, since they would pay the salary, but even in the 4 year contract they could only have 8 advertising campaigns or less, which would be little considering the amount of advertising that is done today, and of course everyone would like to have a woman with the body and beauty of Mary Jane promoting their products. At the same time, if this worked out, it would be a win-win situation for all three: Mary Jane would have more work since the brands would not have to pay for a photographer since she would have one, Nick would solve his financial problems since he would be on the agency's payroll, and the agency could finally exploit all of Mary Jane's beauty and sink her in work thanks to the savings that would mean for the companies not having to pay for a photographer.

Since Mary Jane didn't have much work, her daily presence at the agency was not necessary, of course, neither was Nick's, but Nick showed up daily without Mary Jane's knowledge, this was done with the intention of getting work for Mary Jane, if he succeeded in getting her a job, they would be **** to be together too long, so he could continue his plan against Peter. And he achieved his goal one day when he walked through the offices looking for Mr. Robert, who he had signed the contract with, but he met someone who would be much more useful to him, Miss Charlotte. Miss Charlotte was a woman who was 5'3" tall, slim, had average sized breasts and good hips, obviously Mary Jane was superior in terms of beauty and physique, even so Charlotte was quite pretty with her brown hair, brown eyes and round cheeks that made her look cute.

–Excuse me, what are you doing here? – Charlotte said to Nick as she had never seen him before and his presentation was not the best, he was wearing brown pants with a shirt that was once white and now yellow and a worn and dirty brown jacket.

–Oh, hi, let me introduce myself, I'm Nick Katzenberg, Mary Jane's private photographer, I started working here 2 weeks ago and we haven't done any advertising campaign yet, do you know where Mr. Robert is?

Charlotte frowned as she didn't understand why Nick wanted to see Mr. Robert; Mr. Robert was only seen when there was a raise, a layoff or a hire as he oversaw the staff, so she said –what do you want to see Mr. Robert for?

–Well, we need to know when we are going to be working, a model with Mary Jane's characteristics cannot sit in the office or at home all day, she should be on her feet in front of the camera making money, don't you think?

Charlotte knew that Nick was right, Mary Jane couldn't be idle for so long, she was the best model of the company and of course her salary was high, but that the brands would only ask for her and after knowing the price they wouldn't come back made Mary Jane more than the "ace" of the company, so she said –well, you're right Mr. Nick– she made a space of silence because she didn't want to mispronounce Nick's last name!

–Nick is right...

–Miss Charlotte is the name you are looking for. I am Charlotte and I am the person you are really looking for, you see Robert is only in charge of the personnel, I am the one in charge of getting the models to work with some company or brand and as I already told you are quite right but I don't see what we can do to get Mary Jane more job offers.

–Well, you know, I don't want to sound sexist, I really don't, but Mary Jane has had her best performance in the world of lingerie and swimwear and in her portfolio there are very few companies that are dedicated to that and you know Mary Jane goes well with clothes of course, But with her white skin, her red hair and her green eyes, not every color suits her, you know, and a brand is not going to look for a model to just wear a change of clothes and that's it, the idea is that she models practically the whole collection that's going to be launched, you know?

–You're right, why don't we talk about this in my office?

Nick knew it was a lie, Mary Jane looked good in any color and practically anything she wore would look a thousand times better on her than on anyone else, but he didn't mind photographing her in boring clothes, he didn't want to photograph her showing as much skin as possible.

The conversation paid off, Charlotte agreed to add more lingerie and swimwear clients to the agency's portfolio, making the cost of hiring Mary Jane more affordable, everyone would have less fixed income than expected, but the agency and Mary Jane would benefit from the per-target clauses in the contract.
