Tell Me Again My Love - Chapter 560

Ryn sighed. She already promised herself that she would not join any program anymore that related to television or something like that. She just promised herself that last night was the last time she joined this kind of thing.

She was not suitable to be in a show. Just give her a runway or just give her things to ‘promote’, she can do it with one eye close but when she had to participate in the conversation while trying not to look nervous, the stress was more than she could accept.

“This is the last one. I promise,” Mei Li lifted her right hand in a vow but Ryn was too stressed to care.

“I’m sorry,” Ryn said finally. She did not want to think this over for several more hours. Her mind was made up. Last night was the last time. She did not want to participate in any show not related to her real job.

Mei Li’s face changed to sadness. She was full of anticipation with Ryn joining the program would create more opportunities for this model to strengthen her hold in both as a model and an artist.

She was hoping that Ryn would slowly and steadily turn into an artist, maybe as an actress? She did not know but seeing the talent of Ryn while modelling in many moods and environments, Mei Li has no doubt that it would be a piece of cake for this model to immerge into any character given and in just a short time would be an A list actress. And most importantly, those outside their world would no longer accuse Ryn of clutching her claws into Jeremy’s thɨġh with no talent at all.

She really wanted the world to know that Ryn did not depend on anyone to be successful.

Ryn spend another hour discussing work she would do before she started her training. When she returned to the car, she let out an exhausted sigh. The holiday was officially over and tonight, she already has a job to do. It was a last-minute invitation and Ryn did not even do any casting or audition. The person in charge actually asked carefully whether Ryn was available tonight and when Ryn was about to say she just returned from her holiday, the man quickly cried a figure for her to join the fashion show tonight. Ryn tried to reject but the man insisted and even said he would donate another sum for the orphanage.

What else could Ryn do other than accept the job? She knew the orphanage needed a lot of money to survive.

She needed to do everything to help the children. Even if she was so exhausted to do anything.

Once the alarm blared, she woke up and stretched her arms and back tiredly. She rubbed her eyes and glanced at the phone. She remembered what she must do and quickly rushed into the bathroom for a quick shower and freshen up. Once she was done wearing comfortable clothes, she went to the kitchen to make a huge mug of strong coffee.

She needed all the help to stay awake.

Mei Li came just as she finished her coffee. She quickly washed the mug and grabbed her backpack. She took a deep breath to calm down and even slapped her cheeks to stay awake. Then, after another deep breath, she walked to where Mei Li was waiting, in the car.

“Are you ready?” Her manager asked as she watched Ryn pulling the safety belt.

“Hmm…” Ryn was still sleepy, to be honest, but as she already gave her words to do it, she would do it. And, as she was someone who was a perfectionist when doing her work, she would make sure that her client would be satisfied and would not regret using her service.

No wonder so many brands wanted to work with her due to her work ethic.

It did not take too much time for them to be on the road. The traffic was quite clear even though usually it was time for people to come out for fun or do things after work. Ryn did not even have a long time for her nap during the journey when Mei Li woke her up.

“I’ll find you some coffee,” Mei Li said worriedly seeing how tired Ryn was. Maybe it was a mistake for her to answer the call just now. She should remember that Ryn just returned from overseas and has yet to recover from the jetlag.

“Hmm…” Ryn nodded dumbly. She patted her cheeks again to stay awake and shook her head. Then, she checked her reflection in the mirror before she was satisfied with her look and started to get out of the car. She straightened her clothes and looked at Mei Li who was already out and was watching her worriedly. “Let’s go.”

Ryn and Mei Li shared a weird look but they did not point out the weirdness of his action. They gave him a stiff smile as the man babbled, walking toward the rack of clothes.

“Why does it feel like he only has you for the show?” Mei Li whispered worriedly. Her heart pounded as she listened to the babble. She saw a few models there as well but why the man’s reaction was so over? It made her so suspicious that there was something wrong with the show. And the most important thing was, the man did not mind that Ryn did not have a fitting first before this. What if the dress did not fit her?

“I… I’ll stay here,” Mei Li decided and told Ryn. She did not think she could leave Ryn and look for coffee when she was having such a bad feeling. If anything, she could do something to help Ryn.

“Hmm…” Ryn murmured. She did not look awkward at all as she listened to the man. She also took the dresses that the man showed. Those dresses were for her to wear for the show.

Mei Li took the chance to run to check who was watching the show and started to get relax when she recognized most of the attendances. Those were people from the industry, the entertainment as well some socialites. She let out a sigh of relief before she went back to check on Ryn.

Ryn was doing her make-up and hair when the manager found her. Mei Li did not sit but stood beside them, watching her model turning into a phoenix. Ryn would be the first model to walk the runway and her first dress was a fiery red and orange dress.

“How is it?” Ryn asked without moving her lips.

“Everything looks good. Just that…” Mei Li paused as her upper teeth sank onto her bottom lip worriedly.

“What is it?” Ryn asked without even opening her eyes as the make-up artist was busy applying eyeshadow on her lids before carefully pressing some sparkles on the lids as well as other parts of her face.

“You have to walk on a glass runway… in the middle of a pool.”

“So that’s why…” Ryn murmured to herself. She now understood why the man insisted to have her in the show. She actually had the experience walking in that kind of runway two years ago right before she retired. She was worried at that time but luckily she managed to calm down and did her job perfectly without any incident. She guessed the man was hoping that when she opened the show successfully, the other models would not feel that stressed and could calm down when walking along the runway.

“Do you have the confidence to walk without practising first?” Mei Li asked slowly. The man was clearly crazy not to explain about the runway. He should tell them first before they decided to accept the job. And he… if they accepted it, should give time for Ryn to practice first. To get the feel. She bet other models had the chance to walk on the glass first before the show started.

“Do you have the confidence to pull out of the show right before it starts?” Ryn asked her manager back as she rolled her eyes. No way would Mei Li pull out of the show because it would impact the show as well as their reputation. Even though it did seem like the man purposedly hide some info but he did not lie about anything. He just… knowingly hid the runway info from them.

Mei Li dropped her shoulders as she sighed heavily. She did not have the courage at all. And she knew Ryn would not agree to it as well.

“Good luck,” was all Mei Li could say after Ryn finished with the hair, makeup, dress and shoes. What else could she say but that?
