Unbreakable love bond

This decision was not within the scope of Nayeon's control, so...she felt a little scared. Jaemin was of course the best; she was unique and no one else could compare. But, she couldn't anticipate how the public would react. Would being her manager affect Jaemin negatively? Above all, Jaemin's work was what worried Nayeon the most.

However, Excalibur Q did not give Nayeon time to dwell on this thought. After signing their contract, that very afternoon, they jumped straight into shooting their commercial.

As she was working with Western models, Nayeon was lacking in physical strength in comparison; especially since her stomach was still unwell. After 6 hours of continuous work, Nayeon was obviously struggling to keep up.

Jihyo felt a little anxious. There were a few times she requested the photographer for a short break, but he either ignored her or told her everyone was currently working hard and Nayeon wasn't the only one that was tired.

Being in a foreign land, when it came to matters like this, Jihyo felt powerless as a mere assistant.

However, from beginning to end, Nayeon endured through one take after another. Because of mistakes made by other models she had to film some scenes multiple times.

"Nayeon, are you OK?" Jihyo asked in between takes as she handed her some warm water.

Nayeon placed her hand on her own cheek and nodded, "I should be able to hold on."

"This was clearly not in the contract...do these Western models have a death wish?" just as Jihyo's angered words left her mouth a loud 'BANG' echoed through the set. A relatively skinny model had fainted, "Did she just faint?"

"Isn't this a common sight?" Nayeon handed her cup back to Jihyo with an unfazed expression.

"Does this mean you can get some rest now?"

"Come on, come on, back to work..." the photography staff called.

Jihyo lowered her head to look at Nayeon's feet; 7-8 hours of wearing heels, how torturous.

"What's wrong? I've done things like this in the past. Just because Jaemin is now my manager, does that mean I am more precious than before?" Nayeon looked amusingly at Jihyo. In the past, she had experienced shoots that were even more demanding and in more of a rush than this, how did this compare?

"But it's been 8 hours!"

"Don't worry, I can handle it." After speaking, Nayeon was just about to have her makeup retouched, when suddenly she felt a strong tug on her arm.

Nayeon was stunned...

So was Jihyo.

Actually, everyone present was in shock; an extremely distinguished woman had appeared on the photography set.

The set filled with whispers; some people were surprised while some whistled at her appearance, thinking she was also a model. In fact, they thought she was a top-tier model. However, Jaemin simply pulled Nayeon over and gestured her to sit on the side.

Nayeon struggled a little as she looked into Jaemin's black diamond-like eyes. It only took a few seconds before she gave up and obediently sat on the chair, leaving everything for this her to handle.

Jihyo was so excited she clapped secretly to herself. Now that Boss was here, Nayeon's savior had arrived...

As anticipated, Jaemin simply walked over to the photographer and said, "It has been stated in Article 3.2 and 6.4 of the contract that Nayeon's work hours are from 8am until 6pm. If you need to work beyond these hours, it should not exceed 2 hours. Did you want to breach the contract?"
