285 Can someone tell her why she made a comeback again? (1/2)

Mei Li walked into her room, rubbing her aching head. She was getting a headache. Having Ryn and Harry under her, it was expected for her to bring more revenue to the agency.

But both models were just part-timing. They were not full-time models!

Mei Li's eyes landed on the piles of files on her table, pursing her lips a bit. Of course, among those files, there were some jobs that will bring a lot of money if the models agree to do it. But she would not force them. She still would follow their term as it was what agreed between them when they signed the contract. Even Ryn, she promised Ryn that when Ryn made a comeback, it would not interfere with Ryn's life at all. Ryn had total power to choose what she wanted and Mei Li, as her manager, would deal with the rest of the things.

She sighed. She took her mug of already cold coffee and went to sit on the couch in her room. Although her room office was quite small, she managed to fit two individual couch at the corner of her room so whenever her models coming, they could just chat there rather informally instead of talking at the work table. She too felt awkward when she tried to be as casual as possible with the models.

She crossed her legs and frowned. Although they did not say anything, the burden was placed on her shoulders from the way their eyes looked at her full with sympathy. They did have successful models under them but still could not be compared to Ryn. She rubbed between her brows, feeling another wave of a headache coming.

And suddenly her phone rang. She glanced at the screen and groaned when Ryn's name appeared.

They had arrived!

And she hadn't found a way to tell them about the agency's plan to find them more jobs.

Unwillingly, she slid her finger across the screen to answer the call.

”Hello,” she choked out, trying to remain calm.

”Mei Li, we're here. Are you done with your meeting?” Ryn slapped her forehead for her stupidity. If Mei Li hadn't finished the meeting, she would not answer the call. So, of course, the meeting had ended.

”Erm... yes... we're done with the meeting. Why... err... just come into the office,” she told Ryn halfheartedly. She wished she took a day off and did not attend the meeting. She could pretend not to know what the boss wanted and just did her job according to the plan she had at the beginning of the year.

Sigh.

This was the disadvantage of working under people.

She quickly stood up and went to the door hurriedly when someone knocked on the door.

Harry's brows lifted seeing how enthusiastic their manager was welcoming them. He usually saw Mei Li as a quite cool, charismatic and calm manager. He never saw her acting this way; girly and emotionally.

It was weird.

”Come, sit down,” Mei Li pulled Ryn to sit on the couch.

Harry automatically took a chair to sit, letting Mei Li sat on the other couch. He saw the piles of files on the table but did not comment upon it.

”First thing first, I have arranged transportation and hotel,” Mei Li reported. ”I'm sorry I can't go with you again.”

”It's okay,” Ryn took the flight ticket and the hotel information from Mei Li and put them into her backpack. She did frown seeing the time of departure. It seemed like she had to wake up early tomorrow to go to the airport. Sigh...

Suddenly she felt so tired... so exhausted.

Can someone tell her why she made a comeback again?

”Why don't we start checking back your schedule for the weeks?” Mei Li suggested. She went to take a planner with the name Ryn written on the front page. She had planners for each of the models under her.
