"Look this way Lou'er… turn to the right… lower your eyes a little bit… I need an energetic smile… another pose…" Ma Rui snapped hundreds of shots in a minute.
Han Luo did exactly what she was told. Sometimes, she would give some unexpected pose.
She was wearing a yellow-orange top, blue denim shorts, and a pair of lacy sandals. Her hair was tied in two ponytails. She had a glass of mango juice on her right hand and she was holding an umbrella with her other hand. She was wearing a pair of small sunflower top earrings and rainbow colored bracelets occupied her left wrist.
Her black pearl like eyes shone in the light making her look like a youthful child with a bright future. Her white teeth were whiter than diamonds. Everyone could see her as an energetic, cheerful teenager – a perfect model for the advertisement.
She was working for a summer advertisement. In London, spring had only arrived but the companies already started to prepare for summer. Han Luo signed the contract with Ma Rui's help and had been working for two days straight. Ma Rui was the photographer.
"That's better… excellent pose… swirl twice… that's it… great job sweetie!" Ma Rui excitedly said.
"Miss Luo is really good at this job. Why doesn't she apply for professional modeling?" an employee from the company commented. She came here to observe today's work.
Ma Rui's assistant Dahlia whispered, "I heard that she is only fourteen and doing it only for a hobby. She is already a professional dancer. She is good at both dancing and modeling. If it was me, I would have a hard time choosing which career she should take."
The employee nodded in understanding. "I see, that's how it is. She has a great figure for a model. She will do better in the future. I hope she chooses the right path."
Han Luo had been working under Ma Rui for two months now. As promised, she had worked exclusively for Ma Rui. However, after working for Ma Rui after one month, she became quite popular and started to get job offers and some agency also connected her.
Ma Rui didn't let her join any company since she didn't trust show biz. She rejected those agencies and personally chose job offers for Han Luo. Since Han Luo was still under-aged and Ma Rui was her legal guardian, Ma Rui signed the contracts for her.
Han Luo came back to London last year and she would turn fifteen this year. The more she was growing up, the more she felt excited.
"Okay, done! That was perfect Luo'er. You are the best!" Ma Rui never wasted a chance to praise her cute little girl.
Han Luo grinned at her. "It's because you are a great photographer, mom."
Han Luo changed her clothes and removed her makeup. She wore her casual sleeveless top with a cotton shirt and a pair of jeans.
She came out of the room and declared. "Mom, I'm ready."
In the parking lot, they met Mo Yuan. He was wearing a violet t-shirt and a pair of black pants. He calmly stood in his position with his striking features.
The seventeen year old boy caught lots of attraction. Girls were looking at him shyly and some even wanted to take photos with him. However, he coldly glared at them and they retreated like a scared bunny.
[A/N: Mo Yuan Turned 17 this year.]
"Big brother Yuan!" Han Luo grinned at him childishly and ran toward him.
Mo Yuan saw her running toward him and his lips curled up. He waited for her to come closer and asked, "Did you do your best today?"
Han Luo replied, "Yes! I have worked very hard and gave my all!" She secured his right arm and asked, "Big brother Yuan, what did you bring for me today?"
Mo Yuan handed her a packet and responded, "I have brought your favorite strawberry smoothie."
"Yes! Thank you, big brother Yuan!" Han Luo smiled ear to ear and took the packet. She took out the smoothie from it and started to suck the pipe.
"Xiao Yuan, didn't you say you would be late tonight?" Ma Rui came closer and asked. She was satisfied with the relationship between his son and Han Luo.
"I have something to do," he casually answered. "You can go home first. I will take Ah Luo with me."
Ma Rui had no reason to refuse. "Okay, be careful and send her back to her home before you come back or I won't forgive you." She warned her son.
"Mom, I'm not a kid anymore," Han Luo dejectedly said.
Ma Rui replied, "I know you are not a kid but you are so pretty that I'm afraid people will kidnap you."
"Geez, mom!" Han Luo puffed her cheeks.
"All right kids, I'm going home." Ma Rui got inside her car and drove away.
Han Luo looked at Mo Yuan and asked, "Big brother Yuan, where are you taking me?"
"You will find out soon enough. Let's go," he mysteriously responded to her question only to make her more curious. He reached out his hand and Han Luo took it. They walked in the opposite direction of where Ma Rui left.
They walked for several minutes until Han Luo got impatient. This area was quiet and not so many people were walking around here. She impatiently asked, "Big brother Yuan, where are we going? Why does it seem like that the road will never end?"
"Won't it be better?" Mo Yuan asked her back. Before she could retort, he paused in his track and said, "Wait here for a minute." Saying that he went inside the shop hat was right beside them.
Han Luo looked at the name of the shop. It didn't look like an ordinary shop. She stepped forward to go inside just then she heard a small noise.
Han Luo stopped and gazed at the corner of the shop wearily. There was a dark alley beside the shop.
She silently stepped forward and carefully peeked. At first, she couldn't see anything. However, when her eyes adjusted to the dark, she saw several men were covering a man's mouth and using a sharp blade to kill him!
**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.
