Chapter 19: Chapter 19: Invitation Card

Li Xia entered the changing room to get changed for the shoot. As it was now time for a group picture; a picture in which Li Xia and Mei Lin will be in one frame just like two enemies who hate each other.

She wore a black mini off-shoulder gown with a slit that revealed her smooth legs that were now adorned with silver heels. With her long brown hair falling loosely around her shoulders, she turned to the mirror showing off her beautiful figure.

She was about to leave the changing room when her assistant entered the room with a cup of coffee in one hand and a packet of bun in the other hand.

"Your breakfast sissy," her assistant passed the coffee to her.

"Thank you," Li Xia thanked her and started liquoring up her coffee while sitting on the couch and eating her bun.

"Yes, I remembered Mr. Xiao told me to give you this," Her assistant began to look for something in her bag.

"What is it?" Li Xia mumbled as she took a mouthful of a bun and waited for her assistant to give her the item. It was an envelope with her name written neatly inside of it. Li Xia placed the coffee and the bun on the table. Cleaned her mouth and hand with a handkerchief. She then chewed the food properly before reaching over for the envelope.

"I think it is an invitation," her assistant said, handing Li Xia an invitation card. Li Xia frowned slightly at the sight of the invitation.

"Yes, it is an invitation card," Li Xia confirmed and unfolded it. It was an invitation card for the anniversary of the C.L Group hosted by Luo Yuan and Cheng Liang. And she was invited to attend the event. It was obvious that all the beauty bloggers, actresses, and CEOs of cosmetic brands would be invited to attend.

It didn't give her happiness instead she let out a long sigh

"Why are you sighing?" her assistant asked.

"Oh nothing really, it's just I don't like these types of events," she answered and gave a muffled smile before placing the card on the table.

But the actual reason was she didn't know how to face Luo Yuan after what happened yesterday. A minute ago she was making plans to hide from him until he forgets about what she did. Now it seems like she won't even be able to avoid him. She could only hope that she wouldn't run into him.

In the middle of her thoughts, she heard the director calling her name. She got up and followed the directions to the set. When she reached the stage the shoot had begun. The scene was already set and ready. Mei Lin was already standing on the stage with her hand crossed over her chest and the makeup artist retouching her makeup.

The director called everyone together for their take. Li Xia stood beside Mei Lin with a blank stare on her face.

"Nice shot now, change the pose," the photographer said as he captured the shot on the camera. Mei Lin And Li Xia shifted into position facing each other.

"Take a few more takes," the director called and pointed at a spot next to Mei Lin.

"Move closer," He instructed and Mei Lin and Li Xia inched nearer to each other until their bodies were touching.

Perfect!"

They both remained silent throughout the shoot. The only sound came from the shutter sound of the camera

"Now it's time for the second last take," the director called out and motioned for Mei Lin to crouch down and Li Xia remained.

"Why should I crouch down?" Mei Lin complained and rolled her eyes. "Let her crouch down."

"Miss Mei please cooperate with us," the director ordered.

"Fine!" Mei Lin huffed as she moved toward Li Xia and kneeled.

Li Xia's lips curled upward. Mei Lin looked so adorable kneeling in front of her.

The director signaled to the cameraman to raise the camera again. The camera focused on Li Xia and Mei Lin.

They both stared at the camera without saying anything. Their faces stayed expressionless.

"Alright Miss Li you also crouched down for the final take," the director announced after a short pause of silence. Li Xia nodded and bent her body forward until her face was less than a few inches away from Mei Lin's. The camera once again flashed and captured the last shot of their photoshoot.

"Done," the director announced and the camera operator lowered the camera. Everyone clapped their hands in excitement.

"Great job!" The director handed both of them a bouquet.

"You both did a good job," the director complimented.

"Thank you," Li Xia replied with a polite smile on her face. Mei Lin simply nodded her head. They both bowed their heads toward the director and made their way backstage.

Hello, Lovelies!

It's your author Carolina!

First of all, thank you so much for adding my book to your library. I am so grateful for that. I seriously thought no one will like my story and no one will vote for power stone and give gifts and golden tickets. But when I opened webnovel today I was shocked by seeing the love you are giving me guys. There is no words in the vocabulary that can express my happiness. Sorry for the late update as I was out of town but from now on I will update daily. If I don't update then sorry😅. The reason would be my brain was tired and I am getting out of ideas🤧. I will try to eat more walnut and almond from now on 🙂.

Once again thank you so much for the love and keep giving me this love as I really need it😅. I am participating in the romance carnival contest. Please keep supporting my book.

Thank you so much!!
