“You said the na of the company was BetFuse, correct?” Jason asked as he picked up his phone, intending to search for the na of the company on the internet, but then he put his phone back down,
“Never mind, first tell about the other three companies that want to do a paid advert,” he said, taking his hand off his phone, having changed his mind.
“Oh, okay, well, one is from a juice company, one from a skincare company, and one from a perfu company,” Adele replied.
“So, I just make a post on my social dia about the products I’m supposed to endorse?” Jason asked as he was new to this paid advertisent thing.
“For the juice company and the lotion company, pretty much, but for the perfu company, things are a bit more complicated,” Adele answered, her words suggesting that there was more to the offer of the perfu company.
“What do you an?” Jason already picked up on her obvious words and he asked out of curiosity.
“Well, despite it not being an endorsent deal, the perfu company wants you to appear in a comrcial video, not as the lead, but as like a side character,” Adele explained.
“Lead? Side character? I didn’t realize that the company owner read light novels…” Jason scoffed before going on to ask,
“What was the na of the company again?”
“… Scentual Escapes…” Adele replied after a pause and it was imdiately clear to Jason that there was so hesitation in her voice, but his mind was already narrowing down the reason.
“I find it hard to detect any masculine presence in that na…” Jason muttered his eyes narrowing into slints as he stared hard at Adele.
“… Well… they’re a company that makes female perfus… mostly, also why are you staring at like I’ve done sothing wrong, I’m only telling you what they told ,” Adele said, her voice gradually rising towards the end of her sentence.
“Huh, is that so?” Jason replied, the look of suspicion still on his face as he stared at Adele.
“What will I even be doing in a comrcial for a female perfu? Shooting people with perfu guns?” Jason asked in disbelief.
“Luckily I’m good with guns,” Jason added for no reason.
“You’re good with guns?” Adele asked, ignoring what he first said about the perfu comrcial which was the topic they were actually supposed to be talking about.
“I’m a black kid who has lived in Arica for most of his life, of course I’m good with guns,” Jason stated matter of factly, like it was the most obvious thing in the world.
“Really? Does that an all African Arican kids are good with guns?” Adele asked in surprise.
“Nah, not really, it’s the hood kids that always need to have a piece strapped on at every mont as they must never be caught lacking,” Jason answered.
“Most of them are not good with guns though and can only wave it around like idiots,” he added for good asure.
“So you’re a ‘hood kid’?” Adele asked out of curiosity.
“Not reallyI an, we did live in the hood for a while, but it was still a nice neighborhood where houses weren’t shot up more than twice a month,” Jason answered reminiscing a bit about the old tis.
“I changed houses when I was like 13 though,” he added.
“You call a neighborhood where houses are shot up twice a month ‘a nice neighborhood’?” Adele asked with her mouth wide open.
“Yeah…” Jason answered because by hood standards, that was already almost a paradise land, so he couldn’t initially understand the reason for her confusion.
It later dawned on him that their standards for ‘a nice neighborhood’ were not the sa, after all, the hood was an inherently different place from other living areas.
It was like a warzone that could break out anyti and all it usually needed was one little push from one gun-wielding idiot before all hell broke loose.
Ni**as in the hood had had so many experiences running away from gun battles that they never bothered to get on treadmills whenever they got to the gym and instead focused on working on their upper body because their legs were already in tip-top shape thanks to real-life experience.
“Anyway, let’s get back on track, my being good with guns probably has nothing to do with this comrcial thingy,” Jason said as he rembered that they were supposed to be discussing.
“What’s their plan for in the comrcial?” he went on to ask.
“I don’t know yet, I only know about their offer,” Adele answered.
“Okay, anyhow, it seems interesting, don’t reject it yet and just tell them I am interested, but I’ll only make my decision after hearing about whatever it is they want to do in their comrcial,” Jason started speaking, deciding one after the other.
“I don’t rember you telling the nas of the lotion company or the juice company, but I’ll accept their offers for now, send their details later,”
“I think I’ll also accept the Gilette offer since there is no harm in doing so, but I’ll first have to look at the number of years on the contract before I’ll sign anything… but put that BetFuse deal on a hold for now, I’m not really interested in that for now,” Jason gave his verdicts on all the endorsent deals currently available to him.
He had thought about them for a while and he believed that the ones he had agreed to wouldn’t cause any problems for him and would be quite beneficial, and he especially liked the paid advertisents that he was supposed to promote on his social dia.
They were easy to do and required almost no effort from him, and most important of all, they didn’t have any long-term attachnt.
“Okay, so stall Scentual Escapades, stall Gilette for a while, accept Skin Serenity, and Chi, and then almost outrightly reject BetFuse, did I get it all?” Adele asked after noting down all that Jason had recited.
“Yeah that’s about it,” Jason confird her words, and then his face shifted into a more serious one,
“Now, let’s talk about those ‘rumors’,” he said with a smile on his face despite his serious tone.
