189 Charming Angel, Lee Yeo Ri (2/2)

Yeo Ri nodded towards the main camera that was filming her from her back.

”Action!”

As usual, Yeo Ri's body reflexively moved after the cue. She jogged to the river, bracing for its coldness, then made a full turn to face the main camera.

Her skirt swished and grazed the surface of the water, causing droplets to fly around everywhere. She saw one of the helpers get hit by some of the droplets, causing him to flinch. Yeo Ri laughed at his overreaction.

As if sensing the young girl's teasing laugh, the man grinned evilly, preparing to barrage her with buckets of water as payback.

Yeo Ri turned sideways, effectively dodging the man's attack.

”Hey—!” The man almost shouted as Yeo Ri scooped the water below her and splashed it towards the man.

Yeo Ri giggled hysterically as she saw the man getting drenched. The man, infected by her laughter, also began chuckling.

”Yeo Ri, cue!” The director yelled with his megaphone.

Facing the camera again, she flashed another smile as she allowed herself to fall backwards into the water. Yeo Ri closed her eyes just as her back was submerged in the water.

”Okay, cut!”

”Puah—!”

Yeo Ri rose up from underwater barely a few seconds after she went in. The staff members helped to fish her out and brought her to shore. As soon as her feet touched the land, Byun Joo Hyuk and several female staff members had already crowded  her, passing her a towel and a blanket.

”Yeo Ri, if you need a hot pack, I left them in a black plastic bag at the waiting room!” Jae Ha said, waving her hand to the girl.

”Thank you, Unnie!” Yeo Ri replied. She bowed politely to everyone, gratefully thanking those who had came to help her, and also the others for their hard work.

Just as she was about to return to the wardrobe station to get changed, she noticed a peculiar figure who was simply standing by the side.

”Ah!” Yeo Ri let out a sound of recognition.

It was the heir, Do Kang Rok. Yeo Ri wondered when he arrived. From the looks of it, not many people had noticed his presence either.

Mr. Do seemed to notice her staring and turned to look at her.

”Ah, h-hello,” flustered after being found out, Yeo Ri hurriedly greeted him. She saw him walk closer to her, causing her to tense.

”Good work, Miss Lee,” he said. The corner of his lips was quirked upwards, his eyes were twinkling as if he was happy with what he was seeing.

”I saw the footage from the earlier shots. You've all done a good job. Especially you, Miss Lee. You were magnificent,” he praised with a nod.

”Ah? Oh... thank you very much...” Yeo Ri bowed deeply, thanking him for the praise. She didn't know how well she did, but she must've done extremely well to warrant such high praises from the man.

”I assume it's pretty chilly for you right now. Go ahead and get warm. Well then, see you, Miss Lee.” Do Kang Rok nodded curtly to the girl one last time before walking away.

Even as she saw him off and went back to change out of her wet clothes, she was still dazed.

What was that? What just happened?

Did she just get praised by the big boss?

Yeo Ri was still digesting Mr. Do's words as she changed into a fluffy bathrobe and had her hair dried by Manager Byun again.

Yeo Ri had no idea how captivating her simple performance had been.
