222 Blacklight and another mask (1/2)

Mika was wondering silently seeing all the crews were women. Even the one handling the camera and the lighting were women!

Ryn's eyes looked around until she saw a quite familiar woman. She nudged Mika to follow her and quickly made a beeline toward the woman.

”Hello, sorry we're late,” Ryn greeted the woman as she hugged and air-kissed her.

”Catherine. You're not late,” the woman claimed. Her name was Jewel and she's the director for this photo shooting. ”Go and put on the make-up. And then come back so I can tell you what I want.”

Ryn turned to look at Mika who was looking around. ”You can wait at that chair or at the nearest cafe. You can also go back to work.”

”Are you trying to kick me out from here?” Mika gasped dramatically, placing her hands against her chest.

”Stop being so dramatic, Mika. It's going to take a long time and I don't want you to waste your time. If anything, I will call you,” Ryn coaxed gently. Although she was happy to have such a good friend but she did not like seeing her best friend wasting her time for her.

Mika made a face, only to be turned around and pushed gently toward the door. Mika groaned but did not fight against the treatment. With a dramatic sigh and wave of her hand, she walked toward the door.

”I'll see you for lunch,” she said and quickly rushed out before Ryn could reply.

Jewel smiled seeing the friends' interaction. That was a friendship goal. She recognized Mika as the heiress of the Long as well as the owner of Full Moon Fashion and Eclipse.

And also the little sister of Jewel's favourite singer!

Ryn went to the other section for her make-up and outfit.  She greeted and hugged the women there, smiling and giggling when one of them commented she seemed to lose weight again.

”I don't know about my weight. I eat a lot,” Ryn replied.

They gave her a weird look. They all knew how much she loves eating especially meat. They wondered where all those fat food go whenever Ryn ate because they wanted to have that metabolism as well.

Ryn quickly changed into the outfit chosen and then sat on the chair for the make-up artist and the hairstylist to do their job. The outfit was quite skimpy, almost revealing her breasts. Ryn did not feel anything about it and none of the other women commented upon it seeing the nipples trying hard to get through the slip.

”Have you ever taken a picture in blacklight?” the hairstylist asked.

”I think you can do it,” they all said without a doubt. They knew she was known as a one-shot model and was so talented, she could even make 20 different poses using an apple without wasting a single click from the camera. They honestly were excited to see her performance today.

Ryn put on a robe and made her way back to the director. Jewel was giving last instruction when she saw Ryn. Jewel smiled widely seeing the make up on Ryn's face. She already told the hairstylist to make it simple, neat and clean. She did not want it to overshadow the make up on Ryn's face.

Ryn listened carefully to her, even asking question to parts she did not understand just to ensure what she understood was what the director wanted.

Then, Ryn took off the robe and stepped forward to the set. She familiarized herself first with the surrounding, which Jewel appreciated. Then, once Ryn was ready, she gave a nod for Jewel to start.

”Alright, camera ready,” Jewel pointed at the camerawoman. The woman gave a thumb up.

”We can start now, ” Jewel said and Ryn started to pose.

It was fast and the cameraman was clicking her camera like crazy.

”Done. Change to another make up, ” Jewel ordered, satisfied with the process.

Ryn went to the director first to check her work in the monitor. It was good but she knew she could do better.
