Meet Tiffany Asap

"I'd like to meet Tiffany today," you say, leaning forward in your ergonomic chair. "If we're going to build a competition video around our chemistry, I need to know if we click before finalizing anything."

Daniel exchanges glances with Ramon, who checks his phone calendar. "She's actually in the building for a production meeting at eleven," Ramon says. "I could see if she's available."

"Perfect timing," you smile, projecting confidence you're not entirely sure you feel.

Daniel nods. "I'll text her now."

While waiting, you review the draft contract Brett slides across the table, noting payment structures and content requirements. Your eyes widen slightly at the exclusivity clause—six months where you can't appear in content for any other studio.

"Is this standard?" you ask, tapping the clause.

"For rising talent with your potential? Absolutely," Brett assures you.

Before you can question further, the conference room door swings open. A woman with platinum blonde hair styled in a sleek bob steps in, wearing a body-hugging red dress that accentuates her curves. Her ice-blue eyes sweep the room before settling on you.

"So this is the amateur who's got everyone talking," she says, her voice carrying a slight southern drawl. She extends a manicured hand. "Tiffany Mills."

You stand to shake her hand, noticing her firm grip. "Maya Chen."

"I've watched your schoolgirl breeding risk video," Tiffany says, sliding into the chair beside Daniel. "Not bad for a newbie. The unpolished authenticity works for you."

You can't quite tell if that's a compliment or a dismissal. "Thanks. I've been thinking about our potential collaboration."

"Oh?" One perfectly shaped eyebrow arches.

You outline your competition concept, watching her face carefully. Her expression shifts from skeptical to intrigued as you detail the stakes.

"A fertility competition with real risk?" Tiffany leans back, crossing her legs. "Bold move for someone so new to the industry."

"I'm not afraid of bold," you counter. "The question is, are you?"

Tiffany's lips curve into a smile that doesn't quite reach her eyes. "Honey, I've been doing 'bold' since before you knew what a camera was."

Daniel clears his throat. "The numbers on Maya's videos are exceptional, Tiffany. This collaboration could be huge for both of you."

"I'll need creative input," Tiffany says, studying you. "And top billing."

"Co-billing," you counter immediately. "Equal screen time, equal risk."

A tense moment passes before Tiffany laughs, the sound genuine enough to surprise you. "You've got nerve. I like that." She extends her hand again. "Let's see if you can back it up on camera."

As you shake on it, you notice Daniel and Ramon exchanging pleased glances. Brett squeezes your shoulder in approval.

"How about we do a chemistry test?" Tiffany suggests, standing. "Nothing major—just see how we photograph together, talk through some scenarios."

"Now?" you ask.

"No time like the present," she replies with a challenging smile. "Unless you need more preparation?"
