Revenge Of The Cannon Fodder Villainess

Chapter 109 - Variety Show (11)

Once Kaiser left, Valentina quickly called Lia. The woman quickly declined and video-called instead. Once she picked up, she noticed that Lia's previously blue bob was now a bright lime green color.

"Grand rising, my favorite student! Your great beauty is as blinding as usual. The rising and setting sun cannot compare to the glorious radiance that is your face. How are you doing after that horrible fall?" 

Valentina: "......" it had only been a couple of days, but she seemed to have forgotten Lia's uniquely enthusiastic personality.

"Good afternoon, Lia. The doctor said I'm fine. I'm sorry about dirtying the clothes you lent me and thank you so much for filling up the dressing room at the house. Everything I've seen is beautiful." Valentina honestly thanked the woman.

"Not a problem. And don't worry, I have been properly compensated by Kaiser, and since the budget was unlimited, I just got whatever I wanted, hehe. So what do you think? Do you want to make me your stylist?"

"I do! I would love to talk contract details although the cost terrifies me. I have a job on Wednesday, so would you have time to discuss the details tomorrow morning?"

"Sure. I also have something to ask of you as well, but it would be better to talk in person. What job is it so I can start any preparatory work?"

"I'm going to be on weekly idol with the Fallen Angels. It's a special actor and idols cross-over episode. The clothing guidelines are pretty loose as long as it's not too formal and fits the angel/demon theme like the music video. I'm not sure if you've seen it, but I was an angel."

"Of course, I've seen it! You looked beautiful, although I wish I were in charge of the wardrobe so that I could style you. Then it would have been truly perfect!" Lia began grumbling for  a moment before her eyes lit up,

"I have a couple of ideas of what you could wear, but I'm curious if you have any thoughts as well. The relationship between a stylist and their client should have a lot of give and take. You don't have to agree with everything I choose, and it's my job to bring your vision to life if you have one. Additionally, you know I have my own brand, so my tailoring skills are pretty good. You can just tell me what you want, and I can probably make it."

"Uhm, I'm not sure if it's possible due to the time constraints, but I actually had an idea, and I want you to tell me if it's possible." Valentina began hesitantly.

"Tell me, tell me. Regardless of if it's a bad idea, your beauty is stunning enough that horrendous fashion choices can be forgiven since your face is good enough to blind me from noticing ugly clothes." Lia bluntly replied while laughing.

Valentina: "......" what kind of backhanded compliment was this?

"Ehem, anyways, let me share my screen while I talk. I played an angel in the MV, but I was more so focused on battle than being pretty, lovely, or delicate. I want to kind of focus on the battle angel vibe and go with that style since I assume the other actress will go the classic, beautiful angel way. I came across this photo on Pintr*st, and some others like it." 

Valentina shared the images that contained an armor-like silver turtle neck dress that still looked delicate with the floral details at the bottom and the crisscross patterns throughout. A pair of metal angel wings were crafted to the back, and the entire composition gave off an aura of strength combined with beauty.

As she described her vision to Lia, a sense of confidence took over her as she scrolled through various items.

"Naturally, the wings are overkill, and I don't think the dress should be metal, but this kind of vibe? Also, I think a hairstyle like this with a sword hairpin embedded with black and white feathers would be a nice tie-in to wings of angels and demons without being too obvious. I don't know about shoes or makeup, but that's what I have so far. What do you think?" Valentina finished nervously. Although she thought she had a decent sense of fashion, it was different when talking to a professional, after all.
