Into the lens (14)

"Alchris!" Glaiza exclaimed.

"Hi, sis." Alchris said smiling from ear to ear.

"What are you doing here?" She said still couldn't believe how she could be standing here in front of her brother, in this place.

"I got a call from Ben that you will need someone to cover you up." He said grinning. "So tada...brother duties!" He added flapping his arms wide.

She smirked. "What do you know about photography?" She paused and held on to her waist. "And why did Ben say that? What is he thinking anyway?"

His grin widened. "I don't know." He said and shrugged.

Glaiza was about to call Ben when two ladies appeared, one wearing a red satin wrap dress and the other one wearing a black silky halter dress so she immediately assumed they would be the models for the shoot. They were soon followed by her team which obviously did the shoot setup and all looked like they had been waiting enough already and just wanted to finish their job.

"What's with the face people, seems like you lost in a gamble?" She said chuckling.

"We just couldn't believe Sir Ben would choose someone like your brother to cover you up." Edward joked while fixing the reflectors.

She giggled. "Come on guys, I'm here, I will still do the shoot. No one needs to be covered up." She said and ought to take her camera back but Alchris stepped back and raised the camera up.

"No way! I won't let you, sis. This is my chance! Don't you trust your talented brother?" He said still holding the camera up so she wouldn't reach it. "And seriously, Edward... Do you really have to say that, while I'm still here?"

"Because we don't practice backstabbing here." Edward said which made the whole crew laugh out loud.

"Alchris, no more games. I need to work." She became serious when she saw the models looking confused while still waiting for their instructions.

"I ain't kidding here, sis. I am really doing this photo shoot." He smiled and messed her hair.

Her eyebrows furrowed, still couldn't believe what Ben was thinking. She looked at the crew and they all nodded, including the stylists and makeup artist. She closed her eyes and breathed in and out heavily. "Fine! But once I see you ruining this shoot, I will snatch that camera back."

Alchris hesitated but still nodded. "I don't know why you still doubt with my gifted talent." He said and acted hurt.

She rolled her eyes. "It's almost sunset. You're supposed to be starting now, remember?"

"Yes, ma'am!" He saluted and began marching his way to the models.

Glaiza could only shake her head. She was watching these two ladies maintain their own little bubble in a crowd, which made her miss Rhian more so she checked her phone and still got no response from her. She once again tried to dial her number and still heard the same message. She watched her brother command the crew to do this and that but it's already sunset and she started to worry. His brother was too far from the set while he did the snaps and she hadn't even seen him adjust the lens focus.

"Okay, stop right there!" She cried out and took the camera away from her brother while she looked at the settings. "See? You didn't even setup the aperture. And are those lights supposed to be in the frame?" She's starting to have a migraine upon looking at the photos, so she massaged her temple.

Alchris scratched an eyebrow. "We can just edit those after, right?" He said innocently.

She hissed. "If you really wanted to take it from here, why don't use a longer lens or at least adjust this?"  She said showing him how to adjust the lens focus. "But after looking at these horrifying photos, I will never let you hold my camera again, never again."
