Chapter 47 A proposal (2/2)
”Ryn, my sweet silly Ryn. Although I am a beautiful and talented businesswoman but you are the real pro in beauty world. You are used with make-up and you know which product suits you and even me. Our skin type is different but you know which one is the best for each of us. It's a talent. Why shouldn't I make use of it?”
”But as a partner?”
”How long can you be a model? Even after graduated, will you be able to get a job that can cater to your crazy modelling schedule?”
Ryn pursed her lips a bit.
”You haven't even planned to stop your modelling deal, right? But at the same time you do not want to waste your degree, right?”
Ryn chewed her lower lip listening to Mika's question. Only Mika could understand her.
”Partnering with me not only help me in this new adventure but it will not waste your degree. Once you are done with your study, you can just get into the office and focus on this line while at the same time doing your job as a model. Isn't it the best solution?”
Ryn was speechless.
”Why did she feel like she was dealing with the business side of Mika? The Lolita of Mika?
Mika grinned. She showed a few more containers.
”Our first product will be a lips-tint. Next week we'll go to the lab so you can see what we actually are working on, okay?”
”I haven't agreed yet, Mika,” Ryn said slowly.
Mika's face changed.
”Ryn~”
Ryn smiled. Her best friend looked so cute when she cried like that. Ryn put down the container and took the proposal back. She flipped until it opened to the page she wanted.
”How do you know I have this much for my part?”
Mika looked at the said page and smiled back.
”Of course I know. I've asked Mei Li your average pay for each project and how many you've done this year. And I also know you haven't spent much from your past modelling job, being stingy as you are.”
”Hey, I am not stingy. It is more like I am good with saving money and spend modestly.” Ryn paused. ”You know how much I earn?”
”Is it wrong for me to ask? I just want to ensure we can have a balanced partnership.” Mika started to wring her hands worriedly.
Ryn sighed. She pulled Mika into her arms and patted her back comfortingly.
”It's okay. You are just thinking about me. I bet you are worried about my future.”
”Really? You are not mad at me?”
”Should I?”
”Ryn~”
