Back In The Game

CHAPTER 15

3rd Person's Pov

As the scene continues of Kairi and SZE posing for the camera, the photographer is happy because it captures Kairi's redemption and SZE supporting him.

'This will be a big hit when we release these photos!' he happily thought and continued to direct them on how to pose.

Meanwhile, Karltzy is waiting for Joanna and her 'guest' to arrive because Joanna had picked up her guest from outside. Minutes later, he could hear Joanna's voice from near and he was relieved because he was nervous that Joanna would bail on him.

"I'm back!" Maria suddenly popped out of nowhere with the head. Joanna and the girl beside her are walking towards them.

"Hey." A smooth and cute tone can be heard around them.

"Kyaa! Your voice is really cute, my dear!" Maria jumped on the girl, hugging her.

'Aleah?' Karltzy, Renejay, and Yskaela looked at each other, the head gulped and felt pressured, and Joanna shook her head and put her left palm to her left cheek.

"Maria, you didn't have to announce it to the whole set. You know." Joanna told Maria.

Maria was stunned when she realized. "Eep! Sorry!" She let go and bowed to the head. "I was so excited to see her that I forgot!" she added. The head waved his hand.

"No, no, it is our pleasure that you came to visit." The head awkwardly said, stealing a glance at the girl who was wearing a cap and mask, a white shirt, and squared pants matched with flat sandals.

"I bought a snack truck outside after your shoot. It isn't much but I hope you will enjoy it." the girl spoke. Maria clasped her hands in awe.

'Oh, I wish she was my sister.' She thought while looking at the girl. Karltzy, Renejay, and Yskaela just stared at them, confused.

Kairi and SZE who saw the scene were also confused about what was going on but they needed to continue the shoot because the photographer was more focused on his work and not on gossip.

"I'll introduce you to her when Kairi and SZE's shoot is done so there won't be lengthy introductions, okay?" Joanna tells them. They all nodded even if they were confused.

"Anyway, why are you late?" Joanna asked the girl.

"You know that I'm quite carefree when I'm not working." The girl replied. Maria laughed.

"I told you Joanna, she's a sloth when she's not working."

The girl didn't mind her two friends who started to argue and just watched the two people who were on the shoot.

"they look really good together, too bad that they aren't dating." She heard from the guy who has tattoos on his arm told the guy beside him.

"I know right, she's quite a keeper. I don't understand why Kairi managed not to fall in love with Shey." The other guy said. The girl beside the guy with the tattoo is looking at Joanna and Maria who are busy arguing about her life.

'hmm... the guy with the tattoo must be Renejay, the other guy is Joanna's shoot partner. Karltzy I guess? And the girl is Yskaela.' She thought.

Kairi and SZE's shoot is finally done. The two marched towards them and Joanna finally introduced her to them.

"Everyone do not be pressured. This is my good friend, and fellow model, Maria. And that one is also my fellow model and.." she sighed. "I hate to admit but much more perfectionist than I am, Aleah."

"Hi, It's nice to meet you."

"Hello." Aleah took off her cap and mask. The people present saw stars and some gasped because two of the biggest faces in the modeling industry are here.

"oh my gosh. It's an honor to meet you, Aleah." The head was more than pressured because Aleah was the model whom he couldn't schedule with a shoot because of her tight schedules and projects.

"I know you, I apologize if the management suddenly couldn't schedule a shoot. My plate had been more than many." Aleah apologized. The head quickly shakes his head.

"Oh no, no! I understand! We all know that you have too many things to deal with. And I can always patiently wait until I can finally have the chance to direct your shooting." The head told her fast which made Aleah smile.

"I'm sure we can. If you want, can you give me your number? I can personally schedule you myself. I am also interested in your work and was disappointed that the management canceled our shoots." Aleah offered. The head smiled brightly. He quickly pulled out his business card.

"Thank you! I will remember this day!" the head rejoiced. Aleah giggled.

Kairi, SZE, Karltzy, Renejay, and Yskaela witnessed every scene that they had done. All of them didn't know how to butt into their conversation because their conversation, the people involved are all way above their level.

"How can we join their conversation?" Karltzy asked.

"I don't know, it's quite thick-faced if we suddenly join into their conversation." Renejay also whispers.

"Even I can't face the consequences of joining in their conversation." SZE shivers.

"Well, let's wait until they are done talking." They saw that the photographer also joined in their conversation naturally.
