"I'm happy Mr Osman decided to take the place of the original model. We really liked him, and having him on the posters as well as the commercial just makes sense."

"Then I am happy you're happy," Emre chuckles, stopping in front of the Financial Director of Organette with his secretary in the theater lobby. "We had no idea he would be this good. He was hidden under our noses," Emre smiles then. "Shall we have some coffee while they're busy inside?"

"Sure."

"Great."

"Er, Mr Emre," Leyla says quickly as he gestures them ahead. "I'll stay with Osman and when he's ready I'll call."

"Alright," Emre nods. "Thank you Leyla." Emre touches her arm and she looks at it before he walks away and she turns to walk to the changing room.

Osman was in hair and makeup with Guliz watching on. She was enamored with the young butcher.

"You're makeup looks great."

"Yeah? You think so?" Osman asks, looking at her with a smile as the stylist fixed the hat on his head.

"Yes, your skin is flawless, you don't even need any...wow...there's no excess shine to you either."

"Thank you."

"Good afternoon," Leyla's voice sings from the door and Osman jumps to his feet.

Oh no. "Leyla? What are you doing here?"

"We came to meet with Organette's new Financial Director," Leyla explains and then looks at him from head to toe. "Look how cute you are in your little golfing outfit," she coos.

Osman clears his throat. Well... "Thanks. I'm supposed to be playing a businessman in different situations, or something."

"I can assure you, 'businessman on a lazy sunday at the golf course' is the best one yet," Guliz says as she brushes something invisible off him. "The photos are going to be excellent."

Osman gives her a small nod and awkward smile, looking away. Leyla just smiles at him, and then her eyes land on Guliz and she widens them as if to ask, 'What?' when Guliz makes a small gesture behind Osman's back with her hands, creating a heart and wiggling her eyebrows between her and him.

Oh...uh...okay? "Er...you have fun out there, I have to get back."

"Thank you Leyla."

Leyla nods at Osman. "See you." She gives Guliz a pointed look and Guliz waves fast.

"Mr Osman, can we continue?"

"Hm?" Osman looks at the stylist and then nods, sitting back down. "Yes, of course."

"The hat looks amazing on you."

"Thank you," Osman sighs and Guliz grins wider. Great, I did this because I thought she wouldn't be here. I'm going to kill Sanem.

Can decided that the path along the pier was the perfect spot and stopped the car to get out, with Sanem close behind.

They started their walk, a welcome chat ensuing as they did.

It still amazed Can that they could talk about so many things while not talking about much. Sanem was easy to converse with, even if she was a little out of it at times. He would much rather get to know her like this then spend his time indoors.
He couldn't keep the smile off his face.

Sanem herself was all smiles and laughter and bubbly conversation.

At one point, they came across a man with his dog and Sanem got hearts in her eyes from the start with Can asking if they could say hello.
