206 Don’t Go Home Alone (1/2)
While Ha Jun was busy taking care of Gun, Yeo Ri was busily running around the studio, changing into a new outfit one after another.
Click! Click! Click!
The photographer did not stop taking pictures even for a minute. It was only when the model he was photographing was told to change clothes did he pause.
”The makeup is too dark; it doesn't match the outfit. Fix it quickly!” A woman tautly said. She tapped her feet impatiently with her arms crossed.
”Y-yes!” The makeup artist flinched. She was new to the job, and the high-tension atmosphere did nothing to ease her nervousness. Quickly, she pulled the model to the side and reapplied her makeup while still standing.
”We have no time! Ten hours left until the deadline!” The woman shouted, hurrying her employees.
The woman, Eunice Lau, was the lead designer and owner of GG Doll. She was currently overseeing the shooting—which should have been done weeks earlier—and barking orders left and right.
The online store was supposed to release its new clothing line by 8 p.m. on the same day, but because of a multitude of reasons, they were extremely behind schedule. The shoot was still not done yet, and they still had to edit the pictures and upload them before the deadline. On top of that, once the orders come in, they would probably be even busier than ever.
Of course, they could've just pushed the deadline for a few more days, but Eunice Lau decided against it for the sake of keeping brand loyalty. And because of that, she had to make sure that everything was done perfectly.
”What's taking so long?! We don't have time to dally!”
”I-I'm sorry!” The makeup artist squeaked. Her hand trembled, causing the makeup to smudge slightly. The young woman paled. She looked as if she was about to cry as she tried her best to fix the mistake.
Although Yeo Ri was not the target for the boss-woman's ire, she still felt rattled on the inside. The woman was just too scary!
She stood still as the makeup artist did her job. After a few minutes, she was finally done. Without waiting to be told, Yeo Ri immediately stood in front of the camera and began posing. She focused on her task, making sure that she was neither too rigid nor too lax.
The cycle repeated several more times, and it was only after all the outfits were used up did everybody finally heave a sigh of relief.
It was done!
Now that another task was ticked off the to-do list, Eunice Lau's frown eased slightly. She nodded to the staff, saying, ”Good work,” and flashed a small smile to the models, signalling her satisfaction.
The models, including Yeo Ri, finally allowed themselves to relax. Because they were crunching for time, they were placed in a position of being incredibly pressured to do well, else the lioness would destroy them with her sharp mouth and deadly glare.
Although the photoshoot was tough, Yeo Ri felt somewhat refreshed at the end. It was as if a burden had been lifted off her shoulders after going through the hardships.
