Lee Min Ho looked up from his laptop when someone knocked on his door in the office. He closed his laptop and leaned against his chair. “Come in.”
The door opened and Manager Jin walked into his room with a big happy smile spread across his face. He took a seat in front of his boss before looking at him. “The pictorial of Agatha is out. Just received it from William.” He said as he handed the file to his boss.
Min Ho quickly took the file and look at the photos. He has been waiting for the whole morning for this pictorial from the photographer. The excitement and nervousness of waiting for the outcome from the photo-shoot yesterday is killing him. The moment he saw the photos in the file, his lips naturally curled up into a wide smile. As expected, she looked exactly what he saw during the photo shooting yesterday… breathtakingly gorgeous.
“As I told you, William is really good with his work and that’s why he is one of the top photographers in Asia. No wonder Agatha insists to use him. I’m sure the public will be amazed when these photos released during the product launching. It’s perfect.” Manager Jin said.
Without looking up at him, Min Ho’s eyes were totally immersed into the photos, or to be exact, his eyes were totally captured by the beautiful woman in the photos. “I don’t agree with you. He might be good with his work and a top photographer in this industry but if he doesn’t have a beautiful model like Shin Hye, we wouldn’t have got beautiful photos like this. In this case, I think we should give the credit to the model.” He said proudly.
Manager Jin smiled. “She looked stunning in the photo shoot. Her beauty mesmerized everyone who saw the photos.”
Min Ho can’t stop looking at it as his lips were still smiling. He need to use a lot of strength to tear his gaze away from those photos and looked up at Manager Jin. “Have you send this to Agatha?”
“William already sent them a copy. Their reply was almost instantly. Agatha is very happy with the pictorial. Because Shin Hye is not a model, she gave us a fresh feeling and her image is clean. Her look, her smile, everything match perfectly with the product. They are very satisfied with the outcome. They said she looked so much better than Yoona. They are willing to pay more if she agrees to extend the contract with them for the next collection.” Manager Jin replied.
Min Ho glanced at him before he shook his head. “Yoona left without any notice and because we already signed the contract with them, I have no choice. Shin Hye is just helping us for this time. She will not extend for the next collection of their design.” In fact, he will not let her to continue even if she agrees. He don’t like the feeling of her posing and smiling in front of so many people. He felt very insecure to share the beautiful side of her to the world. That privilege only belongs to him. “I won’t let my girlfriend to become a public figure again. Lesson learned.”
Manager Jin widened his eyes. “Shin Hye is your girlfriend?”
“Why are you so surprise? Doesn’t we look good together?” Min Ho asked, looking at the older man with a sharp stare, as if threatening him to say yes.
Manager Jin laughed awkwardly and nodded his head. “Of course.” It surprised him more when Min Ho grinned like a kid when he heard his answer. He laughed silently. He was still worried that Yoona’s incident will affect Min Ho but it seems he already found someone who can make him smile again.
“But there is one thing I don’t understand.” Manager Jin said.
“What?” Min Ho asked.
“Shin Hye was very stiffed and nervous at the beginning of the photo-shoot and William was so mad at her. But after a short break, everything totally changed. Even though I’m not a professional photographer; I can notice the difference in her before and after the break. She suddenly becomes so natural in front of the camera. The way she smiled was so captivating and the shyness, blushing on her face was so… heart fluttering.” Manager Jin said before he narrowed his gaze at his boss. “Sajang-nim was in the studio with her when all of us were out for the short break. Did anything happen in there that make her changed?”
Another smile spread wide and uncontained across his face. Without bothering to answer Manager Jin, his mind slowly flew back to the photo shooting yesterday.
