Ryn followed Mei Li into the elevator. They just finished discussing a new program that Ryn was invited to participate. Ryn was a bit uneasy as this involved a few days when she was already busy with the wedding and her other work commitments but the producer assured her that they would not cause her to neglect any of her work. They spent almost an hour just to discuss and finally, Ryn agreed to sign the contract. In just less than half a day, she signed a contract with them and would appear on the television for another program.
Sigh.
It seemed like after her daily life was pictured on the television last time and the new yet to be played, more people were interested to know about her. And she realized deep in her heart, the interest was mostly because of Jeremy too. She was now known not only as an international model but also as Jeremy's girlfriend. Did she like the title? No. She did not want people to know her as Jeremy's girlfriend. She wanted everyone to know her for who she really was.
As Ryn.
"Don't worry too much," Mei Li coaxed. She knew Ryn did not truly agree with this but she did not want to disappoint Mei Li as both of them knew once she started her practical training, she would again slow down her modeling career to put focus on her training.
"Easy for you to say. You're not the one who has to talk in front of the television," Ryn murmured.
"You won't fall asleep, Ryn," Mei Li said with a chuckle. "You don't have any work before the program. It is a week after the wedding so you still have time to rest and prepare yourself."
Ryn sighed. There was not once the thought of falling asleep in front of the camera hit her mind. She was only worried that she could not do her best when doing the job. Of course, she was used to instructing other models but it was only among the models in the agency. She never had any experience giving instruction... wait a minute, she did have the experience. The first day she had that daily life shooting, she did show Harry how to improve his walking. Maybe that scene was what made the producer chose her.
"Don't worry. You can do it," Mei Li cheered her up. She still thought that Ryn was worried about her sleeping habit.
"I hope so," Ryn murmured slowly.
They got into the car. Mei Li quickly put in the address for the next job in her GPS system. It was fitting for tomorrow's show.
"Do you need coffee?" Mei Li asked once the system was on and ready to bring them to their destination.
"Just buy any coffee. I don't mind," Ryn said. She needed the caffeine. The discussion just now did drain some of the energy in her. She needed to stay awake and happy during the fitting.
Mei Li looked around and smiled when she saw a family drive-through restaurant; Starbucks. Instead of only one Americano for Ryn and Java Ch.i.p.s for her, she also bought powdered doughnuts.
They continued their journey and finally reached the building where the designer was waiting. Ryn waited until Mei Li locked the door and together they walked into the building, each clutching their own coffee.
"Morning," Ryn greeted cheerfully. The caffeine actually gave her energy to keep on smiling and having the mood to be friendly.
"Morning, you two," the others who were in the studio greeted the two women. They even exchanged hugs and air-kisses.
"Sorry if we're late," instead of Mei Li apologizing to them, Ryn opened her mouth and apologized first even though they actually came just right on time. Not a minute late.
"No, you're not," the designer who was holding a dress said with a smile. He hung the dress and shook his hand at her, "You're being playful again. Why do you love to pretend you're late when you're not?"
Ryn giggled. She skipped to the dresses at the rail and looked at them. "So beautiful. You've gone over your limit again."
"Ah, thanks to all my muses," he said with his chest all stuck up proudly.
The models who were listening to their conversation giggled. They all knew who the muses were and one of them was obviously Ryn.
"But darling," the designer said with a cluck of his tongue when he finally looked at her body, "You've lost your weight again."
"I am trying to gain weight. I even ate two doughnuts on my way here," Ryn cried with Mei Li nodded behind her.
"Do I need to adjust your dress again?" he started to fret.
"How much I need to gain more? Do I have the time?" Ryn started to fret too. She looked for the dresses with her name on them and put them against her body. "I don't think you need to adjust that much... do you?"
"Ryn!"
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to lose weight again. I was too busy," Ryn cried.
"Eat more steaks!"
"I've been eating steaks for all my meals. How much do you want me to eat more?"
The models and other assistants watched full of interest as the designer and Ryn argued about her weight, well, the lack of weight, and her eating habit. Never once they saw the designer or any other designers who would complain about the model is too thin. Only toward Ryn. And she ate a lot. They all knew about her eating habit and her favorite food. It was just.... despite her eating too much, there was no sign or evidence in her body that showed her eating habit. Was her digestion system that good? They all wanted to know and learn her secret.
"Fine. Don't waste any more time. Let's start. Everyone, try your outfit, and then we'll take pictures of them," the designer rubbed his forehead with one hand and shook his other hand toward the models. It was useless scolding Ryn when she did nothing wrong. Her busy life was the reason for her to keep losing weight but he could not ask her to reject other work just because of him. He would get the blame from other designers and brands. And he definitely did not want to have an enemy. This fashion industry was quite small and they would meet each other frequently.
Ryn joined the others changing into the dresses. They even had their make-up and hairstyle. Then, one by one went to take their photo by the photographer as well as listened to what was expected of them tomorrow. It was chaotic but everyone was having fun, even the designer despite the clucking of his tongue when he saw how loose the dress on Ryn was.
Three hours later they were finally done. Everyone changed back into the clothes they came in and some of them invited Ryn to have lunch with them but Ryn had to reject. She already has another plan but did promise them tomorrow they could have a meal together. The designer shooed them to go back so he could continue his work without the giggle and laughter from the girls.
"Finally, I'm done. Send me to Jeremy, please," Ryn asked Mei Li once they got into the car and Mei Li started the engine. She rubbed her stomach without thinking. The argument and the fitting really made her hungry. She needed food now.
"Lunch with him?"
"Hmm..." Ryn nodded. She did not find it to be ashamed of. It was usual for a couple to have lunch together.
"Okay. I'll send you there and then he will send you home, right?"
"Yes."
Suddenly, Ryn's phone rang. Both frowned and looked at the phone.
"Jeremy?" Mei Li asked with a frown. Why would he call when they were heading toward him? She was going to send Ryn to his office for their lunch!
"Hello, J," Ryn greeted her boyfriend with a puzzle. She was going to have lunch with him, just like he wanted. Or had he had to cancel it for work? She did not mind at all. She did not want him to neglect his work because of her. His work was important. And she could have her lunch alone or with Mei Li.
"Hello, love. Where are you right now?" Jeremy asked.
"I'm on my way to your office. Mei Li is sending me. Why?" Ryn answered honestly.
"Can you go to the studio instead?"
"Which studio? Why?"
Jeremy told her the name of the studio where he always went to produce his songs. As his company was still new, he did not have a proper studio yet and decided to use his usual studio first. He still needed to renovate the area in the office for his studio. He did not want to use his home for his 'official' studio just in case he would sign artists under his company. It should be better to be prepared now before it was too late.
"Yeah, sure. But why?" Ryn repeated the name and address of the studio to Mei Li and asked Jeremy back. Why would he want her to go to the studio instead of going to his office?
"I need your help for the wedding."
"What do you mean?" she was confused with his sudden request. He did not say anything more, just telling her to come to his studio.
Wedding? Did he mean Mika's wedding? But didn't he already finish preparing everything for that day? She never saw him being worried about it whenever they met. Why would he ask for her help? She was not a singer. He was!
Ryn put down her phone and looked at her manager.
"What is it? What's wrong?"
"Do you think you can send me to Jeremy's studio?" Ryn asked slowly.
"Err... sure..." although Mei Li was confused, she did follow the request and changed the direction of where they were going. Jeremy after all was the boyfriend of Ryn and also the Young Master of the Long family. Who was she to say no to him?
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
