Harem Investment System: Getting Money And Women - Chapter 89

Chapter 89: Photoshoot Chapter 89: Photoshoot The morning sun cast a golden glow over the resort, reflecting off the pristine glass windows of the main building.  A gentle breeze carried the scent of salt from the ocean, blending with the faint aroma of fresh flowers planted around the entrance.  Ethan and Zack stood outside, waiting near the circular driveway.  Despite the early hour, the staff was already bustling inside, making final preparations for the photoshoot.

Ethan checked his watch.

“She should be here soon,” he said, his voice even.

Zack smirked, stretching his arms behind his head.  “You sound like you’re actually looking forward to this,” he teased.

Ethan gave him a sideways glance but didn’t respond.  He wasn’t particularly excited, but he understood the importance of what was happening today.  This photoshoot was crucial for the resort’s launch.  Melissa Sinclair – one of the most influential social media figures in the city – was about to lend her brand to their business.  Her reach extended beyond just casual influencers; she had real clout in high society.  A single post from her could put them on the map overnight.

Moments later, a sleek black car pulled into the driveway, its tinted windows gleaming under the sun.  The vehicle came to a smooth halt, and the driver, an older man in a crisp uniform, quickly stepped out to open the rear door.

Melissa emerged gracefully, dressed in a white blouse tucked into high-waisted designer jeans.  Her signature red hair cascaded in soft waves over her shoulders, and oversized sunglasses perched perfectly on her nose.  She moved with the confidence of someone used to being admired.

Zack let out a low whistle.

“She really knows how to make an entrance.” Melissa removed her sunglasses and arched a perfectly shaped brow.  “And here I thought you’d be used to me by now, Zack,” she said, amusement in her tone.

Zack grinned.

“Oh, I am.

Doesn’t mean I can’t appreciate the effort.” Ethan cleared his throat, stepping forward.

“Thanks for coming.” Melissa turned her attention to him, her lips curling into a smirk.  “Of course.

I only work with the best, and from what I hear, your resort is exactly that.” Ethan nodded, his expression unreadable.

“We aim to be.” She laughed lightly.

“So serious.

Let’s get started, then.” The group made their way through the resort’s entrance, greeted by a few staff members who had been prepped for the shoot.  Inside, the lobby was immaculate – marble floors, elegant chandeliers, and floor-to-ceiling windows offering a breathtaking view of the ocean beyond.  Melissa took it all in with a glance, clearly impressed.

“You’ve outdone yourselves,” she remarked.

“This place screams exclusive.” Zack flashed a knowing smile.

“That’s the goal.

We’re catering to a very particular clientele.” Melissa hummed in approval, then turned to her assistant, a young woman carrying a tablet.  “Set up the first location by the infinity pool.

That’s where we’ll start.” Her team sprang into action, directing resort staff to arrange the area to her specifications.  Ethan and Zack followed as they made their way outside.

The infinity pool stretched seamlessly into the horizon, the clear water reflecting the sky.  It was one of the resort’s biggest selling points – a luxurious oasis designed for relaxation and indulgence.

Melissa adjusted her sunglasses, surveying the setup.

“This is perfect.” She moved to one of the sun loungers and draped a sheer cover-up over her outfit before reclining effortlessly.  Her assistant handed her a cocktail – one of the resort’s signature drinks – while the photographer adjusted his camera.

Ethan watched from the side, arms crossed.  This kind of marketing wasn’t something he personally cared for, but he understood its power.  A carefully curated image could create demand faster than any traditional advertisement.

The shoot began, and Melissa fell into her role effortlessly.  Every movement was deliberate – each pose designed to look natural yet refined.  The camera clicked rapidly as she adjusted her angles, her red hair catching the sunlight.

Zack leaned toward Ethan.

“You have to admit, she knows what she’s doing.” Ethan didn’t deny it.  Melissa understood influence better than most.  She wasn’t just taking pictures – she was crafting a narrative.

 One that would make people want to be here.

After a series of poolside shots, the team moved to different locations – the spa, the private villas, and the beachside dining area.  Each setting was carefully chosen to showcase the resort’s best features.

During a break, Melissa sat with Ethan and Zack at an outdoor lounge area, sipping her cocktail.

“So,” she said, stirring her drink lazily.

“Tell me, Ethan, why are you so quiet?” Ethan met her gaze evenly.

“Well there isn’t much to say.” She sighed a bit.

Why was he like this?

Zack chuckled, shaking his head.

“He’s always like this.

Don’t take it personally.” Melissa studied Ethan for a moment before laughing.

“I think I like you,” she admitted.

“You don’t get rattled easily.” Ethan didn’t respond, but there was the faintest hint of amusement in his expression.

The photoshoot continued for another hour before wrapping up.  Melissa scrolled through the images on her phone, nodding in approval.

“These will do nicely,” she said.

“I’ll have my team start editing immediately.

Expect a post within the next twenty-four hours.” Zack grinned.

“Can’t wait to see the results.” Melissa stood, stretching gracefully.

“Well, gentlemen, this was fun.

I’ll be in touch.” She turned to leave, but then paused, glancing at Ethan once more.

 “You should smile more, Ethan.

Might make you look a little less… intimidating.” Ethan smirked slightly.

“Noted.” Melissa chuckled before slipping on her sunglasses and heading toward her waiting car.  Her driver opened the door for her, and as she slid inside, she gave them one last wave.

Ethan and Zack watched as the car pulled away.

Zack let out a breath, shaking his head.

“Man, that woman is something else.” Ethan glanced at him.

“She gets the job done.

That’s all that matters.” Zack laughed.

“Sure, keep telling yourself that.” Well the pictures were going to be posted tomorrow, he wanted to see the traction it would bring.

“Oh we have to send her a name, the Aje of the resort,” Zack facepalmed, “Can’t believe I forgot,” “Well what are we going to call it then?”
