39 Theyre here too? (1/2)

”Hurry up and follow,” Yuri snapped at her timid, young assistant. ”We don't have all day.”

”Yes, Sister Yuri,” Mi-Young managed to say in between breaths as she struggled to carry two make-up bags and seven shopping bags.

”And don't even think of dropping anything,” Yuri warned her sternly. ”Those items cost much more than your monthly wage.”

'Then at least carry one!' The small assistant felt like screaming, but she gritted her teeth and held it all in as she shifted the bags in her small hands. Had she known earlier that her 'boss' had a sudden onset of shopping frenzy, she would have asked some help from the driver that the company had arranged for her.

”Those clothes,” Yuri said, not caring about her assistant at all as she traipsed around the shopping mall. ”Make sure they're clean for later, okay? That's what I'm going to wear for the shoot.”

Hearing this, Mi-Young nearly dropped the bags in surprise.

”B-But, Sister Yuri,” she said meekly. ”The production theme has already picked out your clothes. And the photographers-”

”I won't be wearing anything that's unflattering,” Yuri said flatly. ”That's all.”

”Have you told the team about-”

”I don't have to.”

”But won't you get into trouble?”

With an irritated air, Yuri turned to face her small assistant.

”Whose job is it to inform the production team about any changes that a model wants to make during a shoot? Is it my job? Am I the assistant? Should I just fire you?”

Mi-Young's insides began to twist into knots and she couldn't say anything else.

'Director Yang is going to kill me...' Mi-Young thought as she watched her 'boss' turn away from her. 'Why does this one prefer chaos over harmony?'

She sighed.

For the better part of the morning, Bae Yuri had decided to go to Grand Gala Square to shop for specific pieces of clothes. At first, Mi-Young had thought nothing of it. But as the clothes began to pile up, she then noticed something odd. The clothes were almost the same pieces that the production crew had picked out for her during their trial shoot. But these clothes... Mi-Young can only shake her head. They're in the most outrageous of shades!

”We also have to go to my favorite jeweler,” Yuri continued. ”I have some pieces that I have to pick up.”

'The jeweler?' Mi-Young's uneasiness won out this time. 'Is she planning on wearing jewelries for the shoot?'

”Sister...” Mi-Young said weakly. ”Are you planning on wearing jewelry for the shoot?”

Bae Yuri whirled around and glared at her.

”Well, it's just that... the shoot today focuses more on the cosmetics...”

”I-I'll just put these in the car,” Mi-Young stammered. ”You go on ahead to the jeweler's, Sister Yuri. I'll come and find you.”

She bowed quickly and made her way towards the mall elevator that would take her to the parking area. Beside the fact that the shopping bags were really heavy, she felt she needed a break to clear her head.

”How in the world am I supposed to call Director Yang and inform him of what she wants?” She felt like crying at the moment.

Very soon, she reached the car.

”Oh, you guys are done?” Mi-Young heard a voice from behind her. She turned around to find the driver smoking just behind the pillar beside their car.

”Brother Wan!”

Park Kyung-Wan stubbed his cigarette and went over to the passenger side of the car to open it for the small assistant.

”Thank you...” Mi-Young nodded gratefully at him.

He smiled back and gave the assistant some space, so she could arrange the stuff she brought.

Yuri had thought it would be easier for her to keep an eye on him if he's around her, so she got him a gig at her company as her personal driver. She had insisted that she cannot drive herself on some occasions, so the company allowed her to have one.
