Chapter 24 Donst try to run away (1/2)

Ryn was daydreaming, getting more bored as the time ticking away.

More people coming in and going out as the audition continued. Jack was scolding without even care who heard him.

Then finally it was Irene's turn.

Irene's eyes widened seeing Ryn sitting on the chair with her eyes glazed. Why was Ryn sitting over there? No wonder she didn't return from the room.

”Irene?” Jack looked at the portfolio then to the girl in front of him.

”You just signed a contract with a modelling agency?” he read the profile.

”Yes. I've won the competition two months ago,” Irene answered confidently, her eyes kept glancing at Ryn. Would Ryn tell them the truth?

Jack's eyes narrowed. He stood up and walked to the table full of props. His right hand touched each prop until he found one he was looking for. He took a brooch and handed it to Irene.

Everyone, except for Ryn and Irene, sighed heavily. Here it goes again.

”10 poses with this brooch.”

He went back to his seat and crossed his arms.

”Sorry?”

”Give 10 poses with this brooch and you're not allowed to repeat the pose.

Irene gulped. Slowly she took the brooch and stood in front of the camera. You only have 10 frames. Camera ready?” he stared at the laptop.

Irene blinked her eyes, still frozen.

”Irene He? Are you ready?”

Irene gulped. Slowly she took the brooch and stood in front of the camera.

The first pose was awkward. Also the second. Her body started to shiver and she held her tears desperately. She knew she just took bad pictures but her mind was blank.

Jack's face darkened as she reached her tenth pose.

”If you think you are now a model, you're wrong. These all craps. You should just throw your contract into the toilet.”

Irene cried harder.

Ryn quickly went to hug Irene when she finally noticed her friend there. She finally remembered she was in the casting audition for the advertisement. She couldn't even believe she fell asleep while waiting for Mei Li.

”Stop scaring everyone, Jack. Not everyone can understand you. She just started,” Ryn muttered. ”Shh… it's okay. He's just bluffing. He's a marshmallow,” Ryn coaxed, conveniently forgetting how scared she was before.

Jack cocked an eyebrow. His lips curled into a smirk.

”Then show her how it's done,” he challenged.

”This brooch? How many poses?” Ryn brought out her professional attitude, making everyone shocked.

The Ryn now was different than the meek and soft-spoken girl they just met.

This was Ryn, the top model.
