: Showing Her Skills Off for Nothing
Amy woke up the next morning earlier than before. Amy is proud that her sleeping and wake up time are now adjusting to a wonderful lifestyle. She fixed herself and headed to the studio to prepare the equipment to be used later
"You're early today?" Gabby joked as he instruct the other men to carry the heavy equipment to the right places
"It's just right to adjust to the proper time" Amy winked as she adjusts the lighting to the proper setting
The team finished setting up for the shoot, all they need to do is wait for the model
...
"Shall we arrive late?" William asked Mia if she had something planned
"No need, I just wanted to finish this and forget about that Amy" Mia said as she started preparing to go to the shoot
...
"Mother, do we really need to this?" Ally asked to Carol as they are going inside the same hospital Amy just went to yesterday
"Do you want me to give the company to your sister?" Carol asked back reminding her what Amy demanded if she didn't cooperate to what she wanted, just this once "Of course not!" Ally got angry that Amy actually have the guts to challenge her
"Then you just be quiet and do what is needed. This will end soon and we can get rid of that Amy in our lives as soon as possible"
Carol made sure to only speak to the same nurse Amy had spoken to the other day. Luckily, that was the only nurse on the area and their samples are quickly taken
Carol wanted to negotiate with the nurse now, but Amy might easily find out about this. So she will just leave this matter to the two brothers
...
It was almost 1 pm so Amy wanted to call the manager to remind them but as she was about to press the call button, Mia opened the door to the studio and came in, not bothering to greet her
"Good afternoon miss Mia and manager Reys" Amy greeted the two regardless of their lack of manners
"There is no 'good' in the afternoon when I see you. Let's hurry up and finish this" Mia did not even looked at Amy.
Amy brushed off this cold attitude and lead Mia to the set to get her change and ready
After almost 2 hours of getting ready, Mia was prepared.
Walking to where the set is, Mia looked at Amy and smirked at her 'I will show you I am irreplaceable' Mia said to herself, mocking Amy with her looks. Amy just smiled at Mia 'Meet your end' Amy thought
Since Gabby planned to use Amy's photo as one of the magazine's content, he asked the stylist to prepare a different clothing than what Amy used but it is still in the color blue.
Mia was already in her modeling state. Then the shoot began
Mia kept doing different poses and Gabby managed to capture each one. He is also directing Mia what she could do. The shoot took longer than Amy experienced last time
It's because Gabby have something in his mind, Mia's poses are not like Amy's!
He felt that Mia is showing off her skills for nothing, but he just kept this to himself
After an hour of shooting, Gabby finished it but he was not satisfied with the pictures he have. "Good job Mia. Thank you for your cooperation today, just wait for the magazine's release" Gabby sounded a little bored whether how hard he tried to hide it. Mia didn't noticed his boredom, she just smiled proudly that the best photographer praised her "Thank you Mr. Lores, I'll be heading home now" Mia said and left the studio
Amy walked to Gabby to see the photos "How was it?" Amy teased looking at the disappointed look on Gabby's face "No comment" Gabby gave the camera to Amy so she can have a look at the pictures.
The angles are not bad, and her poses actually looks amazing, only...
It just doesn't fit the theme of the magazine
"That bad huh?" Amy asked Gabby. They are now heading to the editing room to finish this magazine and release it tomorrow, the same time as the last time it was supposed to be released
"Her look and poses are good, but her expression just doesn't catch the theme. Let's hope the things we've been through is worth it" Gabby hoped for a good result when the magazine was released. With Mia's popularity, she had a lot of fans that will want to see her on this front cover, but will they be satisfied by their idol's work?
With a total of 30 unsatisfying photos, Gabby asked help for Amy to choose the best one for the cover.
The two is taking hours of choosing. As of now, they have narrowed it down to 5 pictures. It is hard to choose not because there are a lot of great pictures, but they have to choose according to Gabby's standard for the magazine, and Mia's pictures are far from those standards. They are only choosing the ones that could suit the theme of the magazine, Fire & Ice.
Gabby and Amy are staring at the pictures closely, one by one. "How about we use this one?" Amy suggested the photo where Mia's whole body is facing the side, leaning a little back. Her head is a little tilted towards the camera with one hand on her chin, her eyes looking straight to the camera and her expression is...
Nothing. She is expressionless!..
"But she has no expression in this one?" Gabby was confused why Amy chose this
"They will not think that, since ice is one of the theme, they would think she is expressing coldness" Amy explained. This is the best one she could choose, the others are where Mia is trying to look fierce but it doesn't suit her. She just looks like an ugly evil witch
"Alright, I guess this is already the best one we have" Gabby sighed. They both got tired by just choosing those pictures. Gabby just took 2 minutes to pick Amy's photo last time, and here with Mia, he needed another person for help and it took them 5 hours!
"Thanks Amy, you can go back home now, it's getting late. I will just edit the pages now to send it immediately to the publisher" Gabby said to Amy and she just nodded because she was too tired. Her eyes are already dry for looking at those photos for too long
Tonight, she will need a good rest, the release of the magazine tomorrow will surely be a funny show
