Chapter 244 - HAN LUO IS NERVOUS
[A/N: Want some mushy mushy scenes? Help Han Luo to grow up by feeding her vote!!!]
The sudden proposal stunned Han Luo. She shared her thought, "But I'm only **fourteen…"
Jacqueline shoved away all her worries saying, "That won't be a problem. The makeup artist will make you look like a young bride. We will take the picture of your side face. No one will be able to find out who the bride is unless we say it. If you want, we can keep your identity a secret too."
Han Luo still wasn't able to decide on her own. She didn't know who would be the photographer or what kind of project it was. Also, Ma Rui had a tight schedule today.
She looked at Ma Rui to seek her help.
Ma Rui noticed it and questioned Jacqueline, "Will there be any male model with her? If so, I don't want her to be the model. The Ravishing Bride seems a bit mature for her."
Jacqueline quickly answered, "No, no, there is no male model, and as I said the makeup artist will make her look mature. Luo only has to pose. We won't let the people know who the model is if that's what you prefer."
She looked desperate. It only showed how important this project was.
Ma Rui glanced at her wristwatch to check the time and said, "Can we see the project and the contract?"
"S-sure…" the nervous girl replied. She had the file on her hand. She handed over the time and introduced herself, "I'm Lisa, the planner of Ravishing Bride. I've been working under MB commercials for three years."
Lisa and Jacqueline were commercial planners from the production team and Joseph was from the sales department of MB Commercials.
[A/N: I thought using MB (My Beloved) would be a good choice. XD]
"Nice to meet you," Ma Rui and Han Luo shook hands with her.
After checking the project plan, Ma Rui nodded. "I like the project. It only needs a solo bride. She was ravished by her beloved husband. It's a commercial for a branded perfume company named Aroma. Luo, what do you think?"
After giving her opinion, she asked for Han Luo's point of view.
"I love their perfume. Especially Bela flower perfume. I use it all the time. Mom, I want to be the model but I'm scared if it goes wrong it will be bad for both of us," Han Luo was hesitating only because of that.
Lisa declared, "Don't worry, Miss Luo. I will guide you. I will show you some pictures and commercials to help you come up with a mature expression. You can leave everything to me."
She practically shoved the contract in Han Luo's hands and added, "And, here is the contract. I know it's a bit impolite of me but we can't give you more than this amount. It was our final budget. We know you are saving us from this problem and we are grateful for it. Can you just give me some time? I'll talk to the Executive Director and request him to give you an extra amount."
Han Luo interjected, "Actually, I think this amount is fine. I was free after this anyway. I'm glad I could help you with it. But help me to hide my identity though. Don't keep more people than it's necessary. It will be probably best if only you three, makeup artist, photographer, cameraman, director, and one technician stay in the room. Fewer people will know the better."
Jacqueline agreed, "We will definitely do that. The three of us will know your identity. And, the makeup artist will see your real face so she will know too. Aside from us, others won't be able to find out who you are."
Lisa added, "We have already booked a hotel room for it since we needed a bedroom for this project. It won't take more than three hours. With your talent, I think we can finish taking photos and shooting in less than an hour."
"Please don't have too much expectation for me. This is the first time I'm going to act. I don't know how I will do that," Han Luo nervously said.
"Leave everything to us," Jacqueline was determined.
Ma Rui patted Han Luo's shoulder to encourage her. "You can do it, Luo'er. I'm sorry that I won't be able to stay with you because of another project. I've already called Xiao Yuan. He is coming. After he comes, I will go. Is that okay with you?"
"Yes, mom, I can do this. Thank you for staying with me. I know your schedule is full today," Han Luo replied.
Ma Rui was so proud of this young girl. "I know my Luo'er is the best. If only Xiao Yuan was half like you, I would be so relieved," she lamented.
"If he was like me, it would be really weird, mom," Han Luo laughed cheerfully.
Joseph came back and announced, "The makeup artist prepared everything. Madam Rui, Miss Luo, will you come with me?"
"Sure," Han Luo signed the contract and followed him.
It was a spacious bedroom and decorated for the wedding night.
"Please come this way," the makeup artist said. She was waiting in front of an attached room. She narrated shortly, "You can change your dress here and I'll also do your makeup here. No one will disturb you while you dress up. If you need help with anything, just call for me. I'll be standing outside the room and I won't leave."
"Okay," Han Luo went inside the room.
Jacqueline, Lisa, and the makeup artist explained to her how to wear the dress and then left her alone.
After dressing up without a problem, the makeup artist assisted her with makeup.
In the meantime, Mo Yuan arrived at the hotel.
Ma Rui saw him and said, "Finally you are here. Luo'er is dressing up. You stay with her and don't leave her side for once. If you need anything, ask my assistant."
"I won't leave her alone and dad will come to pick us up after work. You can do your work," Mo Yuan assured her.
"Oh, that's great. I'm going then. I won't be at home before next Friday. Bye," Ma Rui packed her luggage and left.
After she left, Mo Yuan knocked on the door and opened it. He halted seeing Han Luo in a wedding gown.
She was sitting on a chair. The long, white mermaid wedding gown was perfect for a beach wedding. It was hugging her body and it showed her body curved. The strap of the blouse locked from the back of her neck and her back was completely open. Her gown was designed with white pearls. Her lace gloves were also engraved with small white pearls.
She was wearing a pair of diamond earrings and had a diamond ring on the ring finger of her left hand. She was wearing a diamond tiara on her head. Her shiny black hair was resting loosely on her right shoulder. She was wearing smokey eye-shadow and red lipsticks.
Since she was sitting, the long gown was spread on the floor. She looked like a mermaid coming out of the picture. A mermaid that was ready to be ravished by her groom.
*** Imaginary picture of the gown and Han Luo is on the comment section***
**Had to change 1 year to 2 months or the whole plot would go upside down and I wouldn't know how to deal with it. Sorry about the mistake and I will make sure that it won't happen again in the future.. So she will turn 15 this year and Mo Yuan is already 17 this year.
