"You look like a great model now."
Vino smiled clumsyly as he moved as if fixing his glasses, feeling foolish when he did not find them. Elly laughed at him.
"Haha. I think you should forget about your habits immediately."
Shirley and Nans who were laughing at a glance invited a tinge of red on Vino's cheeks.
"That's why you have to use this." Shirley gave the item Elly gave to Vino.
"Open up" he told Vino who raised an eyebrow not understanding.
Vino complies and opens it. A pair of contact lenses that look really expensive are captured by the retina of his eye.
"That's my gift for your graduation. Wear it."
"But it's really expensive. I guess..."
"Wear it or I'll kiss you!"
Vino shuddered and nodded immediately. I knew this girl could really do it.
"What kind of cheap threat is that, Shirley!?"
"Eh, no ma'am! I knew that he wouldn't let me do it!"
Vino attached the two lenses to his eyes, ignoring Shirley who complained because she was presented with a small pinch by Bu Nans.
"Hows it? Should I help you?"
"No, sis. Thank you." Thank you."
Vino blinked his eyes a few times until he was finally able to adjust to the presence of a foreign object in his eyes.
"Perfect!" shirley's cheers were greeted with a nod in agreement by Ms. Nans and Elly.
"Yeah, then let's go."
"Eh? Are you going to leave immediately? You don't want to
eat first?"
"I'm crazy crazy about your fried rice, ma'am. Believe this. But this time I'm in a hurry, and I ate before I got here."
Being with that jerk IT staff sucks, Elly added inwardly.
Shirley got up and put on her disguise attribute.
"Let's work, Vino."
"Eh? Work?"
"Yes, work! What do you think you're bewitched by Nans' mom like this?"
"Ap-"
"Shh." Shirley placed her index finger over Vino's lips which were instantly silenced.
"Come, we'll be late." Elly came out of the back room. They all caught up with him including Bu Nans.
Shirley was annoyed when she realized the average gaze of all the salon visitors the young girl was on Vino. la had been tempted to give her hats and glasses to wear the man next to her. But that will only make the situation even worse.
"Come back as soon as possible" said Ms. Nans just as Elly opened the car door for Shirley.
"Sure, ma'am." Shirley said before peeking briefly at Nans' cheek and getting into the car.
"You too, Vino. Come whenever. You have to take care of your looks, because you're a model now. Use a sharp-toothed comb to comb your hair. Comb properly, adjust to the direction. I also suggest you use hair oil so that your hair health is maintained. You can also use hair spray because you will be exposed to the sun and sweat a lot. But after you use the spray, as a finishing touch use your fingers to comb your hair. It will make it look more natural. "
"Whoa, whoa. You never even told me how to take care of my hair like that."
"You're the one I don't want to notice. So shut up."
"Haha. Of course I'm kidding. I'm not a model. Come on in, Vino."
Vino nodded and smiled faintly at Ms. Nans.
"Thank you very much, ma'am."
Bu Nans nodded and brandished a fist as Elly stuck her tongue out at him before riding in the car following Vino. He followed the car until it disappeared from his sight.
\*\*\*\*
Billy who got the message jolted up and shouted at the staff.
"Be sure everything is ready and in its place! The artist is coming!"
The entire boisterous staff was running around here and there preparing for everything. Everyone knows that this photo shoot is really important and must not fail at all, or there is no second chance.
"Hey, where's the photographer?"
"Camera, camera!"
"Sir, is the lighting fit or not? Please check!"
"For now, okay. We will change it as needed. What about make-up? The outfit?"
"All ready, sir!"
"Yeah, we're going to have a successful photo shoot this time!"
"Will there be an outdoor session, sir?"
"We'll see the situation. Just make sure everything's ready."
"Good, sir!"
After making sure of everything, Billy rushes out of his studio towards his office yard. Intended to welcome the supermodel who finally agreed to cooperate with him after passing various contract and appendage procedures.
Billy pulled a few staffers who passed by him to follow him. They arrive outside just as the car he knows belongs to Elly
he is seen entering his office yard and driving to a stop in front of the lobby where Billy and his staff are.
"Ckii."
The sound of the brakes squeaked along with Elly who jumped out of her car. Shirley inside held back her laughter looking at Vino who rubbed her chest as she was not used to Elly's unusual way of stopping.
"Welcome. Glad to see you."
Billy shook Elly's hand with a big smile.
"thank you. Please forgive our delay. There are a few things I need to take care of first."
"Oh, no problem, miss. You came just in time."
Feeling that there was no point in extending the stale base anymore, Elly turned around and opened the door for Shirley. Billy and his staff unconsciously held their breaths as Shirley descended to stand perfectly in front of them. His star aura was still felt despite his usual appearance. The knot smile he showed as Billy shook his hand was alluring, making anyone unable to turn their eyes away from him, including Vino. His movements made Vino fully realize that this girl was not the girl who was with him from morning. This girl is different.
This girl is her idol.
"Hey, Vino, let's go down."
Vino gasps in shock at Elly's voice which turns out to have opened the car door for her and looks at her strangely.
"Oh, okay." Vino immediately swung his leg down and got up to stand out from the car.
"Sir Bil, this is Vino. Our beginner models."
Vino looked at the man called 'Pak Bil' by Elly. The dully but dapperly-dressed middle-aged man looked at him before nodding briefly and taking office
her hands.
"I'm Billy. Welcome to our studio."
"Thank you, sir. Please guide her."
Vino felt his heart beating as this fat man squeezed his hands at a glance. His reflexes swept his eyes and caught the staff behind Billy who still had not taken their eyes off Shirley. Vino felt a sense of annoyance whose reason he did not quite understand.
Vino moved closer to Shirley and patted her head. From the tail of his eyes he could see the damn staff widening their eyes and whispering to each other, questioning his newly realized presence.
"Oh? Vino?" Shirley's beautiful eyes that were no longer covered in her sunglasses stared at her with a questioning look.
"What kind of work are we going to do?"
Shirley blinked her eyes.
"Of course work as a model. Hows it? Your first job with a world supermodel. I think you should be grateful for this for the rest of your life."
Vino laughed in response. Surely he has been
presumed. The question was just a lure and he managed to get his prey. He swore that he really enjoyed the shocked look and did not
trust people who were, not even aware of his existence. Yeah, he's upset that they didn't see him.
