CHAPTER 52

TAY TAWAN'S POV

"Tay, are you seriously asking me to choose fifty out of these thousands of photos??", Bright went straight to my office without knocking, bringing along his laptop with him.

Two months after our vacation, I inwardly approached Bright to help me with something. I handed him a hard drive and ask him to help me choose photos since he has a keen eye for good shots. My only mistake was I didn't tell him the total numbers of photos I included. Or did I intentionally not tell him knowing he'll act this way?

"You could have at least sorted these out in half before passing them to me", he added as he sat grouchily on the couch. Definitely not as happy as he was when I first ask him for his help.

"I already sorted them. Those are like four years' worth of pictures so they're many."

"But then again, thousands of pictures, Tay. Thousands! And I only get to choose fifty? What the heck? Are you going to compile these on an album? Because if you do we can fit in like two hundred or more and just minimize their sizes."

"It's not for an album."

"Okay. How about I ask for Neen's help? Because I'm telling you as early as now, I can't do this alone."

"No! I don't like showing off New's pictures to others. I wasn't gonna let you see them either. It just happened that I needed your help and I trust your perception when it comes to choosing great photos."

Bright rolled his eyes at me.

"Fine, if you can't do it, then don't!", I shouted in annoyance.

Bright's been with me since I started the studio and I personally think he already earned the right to give me an attitude. But I was kinda disappointed that he's easily giving up on this simple task. I see him choose photos like he was only separating black and white from the colored ones which is why I have high expectations of him.

"Okay, I'm sorry. It's just that I already have a lot of pending works that need to be finished first."

"I know. I'm sorry too. Give me back my hard drive, I'll do it myself."

Bright grunted in frustration as he brushed and ruffled his hair, "Stop being so kind, Tay! I hate you. When do you need them?"

"In two months?", I beamed with a smile. Feeling relieved that he's considering helping me.

He looked up to the ceiling while counting with his fingers.

"June?", he asked, glaring at me suspiciously.

I nodded in response.

"What are you gonna do with the photos anyway?", he asked again, raising his eyebrows at me.

"Are we doing a photo exhibition? Wait. I guess not, they're all pictures of New", he stood up and walked from left to right, then stopped to count with his fingers again.

"Wait! Are you surprising him on your anniversary? Wait", he stopped again before walking towards me, his palms pressing on my table, "Are you going to propose to him??"

My eyes widen in surprise. Bright, no doubt is the smartest person in our studio. He catches up on things quickly, and his way of always thinking outside the box and his sense of understanding a certain situation is quite impeccable.

I was left speechless.

And me not saying anything only gave rise to his speculation.

"Oh yes you are!", he said while waving his index finger at me and smiling mockingly.
