242 The blame game (1/2)

Although it was later from the time she planned to arrive but at least she still had time to rest for two hours before she had to leave for her next work.

She adjusted the temperature after checking the door. Then, she dropped herself on the bed and closed her eyes, right after she set the timer for one and a half hour later. Half an hour was enough for her to get ready and the crews would pick her up at the hotel so she was not worried of being late.

She slept peacefully at the thought that everything would be alright. Yup. Everything would be alright.

One and a half hour later she woke up and rushed into the bathroom to have a quick shower. Then, she put on another fresh clothes and contacted the crews where they were right now. She smiled when she knew she would have time to eat a real meal while waiting and told them she would be at the hotel's restaurant if she was not at the lobby.

She skipped happily to the elevator, no longer thinking about Irene. Her mind was full of food. She was hungry.

Right after she finished her meal happily, a call from the crew came in, telling her they were getting closer to the hotel. She went to pay the food and waited at the lobby, rubbing her full stomach happily.

”Catherine, welcome to New York,” a woman got out of the SUV and hugged her.

Ryn replied the hug with a cheeky grin. She greeted the others cheerfully. The nap gave her energy and clear her mind. She felt truly better and great and ready to work her cute butt out.

The SUV joined the other vehicles in the traffic. Ryn chatted with the crews, asking the theme of the photoshoot and what was expected. She also asked what they had been doing lately, their recent projects and if there were the latest funny gossips they could share.

Half an hour later the SUV stopped and the crews left, leaving only the hairstylist, the stylist, make-up artist and Ryn inside the vehicle. Ryn quickly changed her outfit while the make-up artist and the hairstylist took out their things. They were chatting while preparing, despite the director told them to make it quick.

Ryn approached the crews as they were just done preparing. She smiled as she took her place and once the director gave a signal, she started to pose.

”Quick… quick… quick… we're losing the light,” the director reminded when Ryn rushed to change into the next outfit.

”What light he's talking about?” the stylist grumbled as she helped Ryn into the SUV to change into the second outfit.

”Who knows,” Ryn replied.

”Ryn?” the director asked her.

Ryn looked behind, at the 'background' that they chose. Then, she adjusted her position and looked at the camera with a slight smile.

The director looked at the screen and his eyes lit up. The new position gave the feeling he wanted for the pictures. With a huge smile, he told the cameraman to continue taking Ryn's picture.

Mika put down the phone with a sigh. She only had today to finish handling everything before she took a flight tomorrow. So many things to do. So little time.

She reached for her phone again when she could not get through her assistant via direct line.

”Stephanie, where are the jewellery and the clothes for the shoot?” Mika called her personal assistant. She did not see any box in her office even though the flight would be tomorrow. They have to get ready by today. Everything must get pack quickly.

”They're on their way, boss,” Stephanie replied. She raised her hand to make the others worked quickly. The boss was losing her patience by now and nothing was ready.

”I want to see them here in my room in less than 15 minutes. Times are ticking, Stephanie and I am not amused,” Mika muttered and disconnected the call without waiting for Stephanie to reply.

Mika read another file while waiting for her team to gather everything she wanted. Her brows furrowed when the document still has mistakes. She thought she already told the officer in charge to redo it back during the meeting but she guessed this man refused to listen.

She threw the file onto the floor and reached for another file. Her mood was getting worst but she still needed to finish all these whether she liked it or not.
