Lahat ng empleyado ng Sunnyside company ay sobrang busy. Kaliwa't kanan ang mga empleyadong tumatakbo habang nagdadala ng mga kagamitan. Today's the schedule of the photoshoot.

Lahat sila ay kinakabahan at excited. Nag-ayos pa nga sila sa kanilang mga sarili. Of course! The famous Gold will be coming in their company.

Pero ang mas kinakabahan ay si Minzy. She prayed that all will go well. She was excited for this small event. She spent hours planning and organizing it. Gusto niyang perpekto ang lahat at hindi ito papalpak. One mistake could ruin everything.

She checked her watch. An hour before the photoshoot. Mas lalo siyang kinabahan. Nasusuka tuloy siya at hindi gaanong maganda ang pakiramdam.

Biglang bumukas ang pinto at bumungad doon si Zander na may dala-dalang dalawang paper bag ng coffee. Naibsan ang kabang nararamdaman ni Minzy dahil doon. She let Zander buy four cups of coffee, isa lang naman ang kailangan pero mas mabuti ng may emergency coffee in case may mangyaring hindi inaasahan but she wish that everything will go according to her plan.

Ilang minuto na lang. Nasa kanya-kanyang station na ang mga empleyado kung nasaan sila naka-assign. It was such a small event pero they work like it's a big one.

Si Minzy naman ay kanina pang naglalakad pabalik-balik malapit sa pintuan. Kada bumubukas pa nga ito ay napapatingin agad siya.

"Is everything okay?" Tanong ng kanyang boss.

"Yes sir."

"Nga pala. Asan si Zander? I need him to layout something." Tanong ng kanyang boss. Wala siya sa tamang oras para mag-isip kung nasaan ang kanyang pinsan dahil sa sobrang kaba.

"Baka nasa cr po." She answered even though she wasn't sure. Nakita niyang tumango ang kanyang boss at umalis na.

Biglang tumunog ang isang telephone, wala pang isang segundo ay sinagot na ito ni Minzy.

"They're here!" Those two words made Minzy's heart faster and heavier na parang maiihi na siya sa sobrang kaba. Agad naman siyang sumigaw at sinabi sa lahat ang impormasyong iyon.

Just like in the movies, silence covered the room. All that they can hear was their breathing and the sound of stilletos. This is it!

Bumukas ang pinto at naroon nga ang inaasahan nilang bisita. It was really the Gold. The employees were gazing at the four top fashion designers of the country. It even took them seconds to get back to the reality.

"G-good afternoon! It's really an honor to have you in our photoshoot and in our building." Kahit si Griffin ay kinabahan at pautal-utal nang nagsasalita.

As usual and as expected, Gel showed no emotions. She just stood there with her glamorous outfit. To be exact, high-waisted white pants, crop top and a pair of pumps.

They were all actually wearing pure white clothing. It was pleasing to the eyes.

"Thank you for having us here." Nakangiting sabi ni Lucien, in behalf of the GOLD. Lucien looked at Olivia who is eyeing (more like looking) at the whole place (or for someone)

She softly pinched Olivia in her arm which cause her to jerk.

"You are always welcome. S-shall we...start?" Minzy said as confident as she could be. With that, they went to the company's studio. All was set and prepared. The cameras, lights, background, and of course, Gel's coffee.

Hair and Make-up is all that is lacking. Naupo na silang apat sa nakahandang dressers para sa kanila. Sunnyside really chose their best make-up designers and hair stylists for the GOLD. Special treatment kumbaga.
