Chapitre 4: Drag Away

Su Na felt that it was a little weird to have them go to Aires suddenly and as quickly as the next day. She was worried that there might be other things that she hadn't discussed with Ether when the last time she visited them for signing the contract.

"Okay, let's review our plan and pack later this evening. I have been planning to go there a few days earlier to get started, but since they want us to go over now, we will do that. We will greet them tomorrow."

Yu Ping jumped on his place. "I will go home right now and pack," he yelled as he tried to slip away only to be held by the back of the collar of his shirt by Su Na.

Su Na sighed at his excitement that was going to cease. "Where are you going? You're staying here to tend to the office. Yu Sha and I will be going." She furrowed her brows at him. She knew what was going on in his mind and what, he was more eager about. Most probably, he was just excited to go and check out women from other countries, like he had been doing in the last two international projects.

The color drained from Yu Ping's face. He stilled on his place for several moments, absorbing the shocking revelation that was made to him. His soul ached as severely as his body would have had a truck struck him. He slowly turned around. "Wha… what? I… ca… can't go?" His pale face mirrored a bunny, asking for mercy who was about to get butchered.

"No, you stay. You may go once we are halfway through the project. We're not going there for fun. We are going there to work. Now be good and watch the office." She could not afford to take Yu Ping along with them at that point in time for she felt that it was more of a formal event kind of a trip. Of course, there was no way on earth that she was doubtful about his professionalism but it was not the right time for Yu Ping to make his appearance.

"No, no, no! I don't care. I want to go. I want to go too, please. I have not gone anywhere in the last half a year. I want to go and do some sightseeing as well. This can be called as an employee abuse!" he screamed with his agonized eyes as he slumped on the chair beside him. How could they do that to him? How could they not take him along? Why wouldn't they?

"As the person who's in charge of security measure and safety of the project, why can't I go at the same time?" The poor soul made another futile attempt to convince Su Na.

He was just an office assistant for the outside world, but his forte was safety and security measures. He was eventually going to be needed on the site once the project got going, to do a run-through and make any changes if and when needed.

Su Na rubbed her temple. She had to do what she wasn't much happy in doing. "You will get a first-class ticket to visit Aires and Cleotara once we complete this project and also, three weeks off. Think about it. Three whole weeks."

The Luxury Pavilion Resort and Aqua Illusion Beach. Yu Ping's face began acquiring its color back as his eyes were suddenly taken over by the imaginary scenery. The images of women in sexy attires; women in bikinis; women with clothing barely covering their figures flashed before his eyes and they widened in the daydream that he was watching. The corners of his mouth drooled. Oh yes… yes, absolutely. He quickly agreed, after momentarily savoring in the paradise in his mind.

"I accept it." He sheepishly grinned before his feet nearly took off from the floor, almost flying in the air out of sheer happiness back to his desk, and he saluted Su Na, like an obedient soldier listening to the commander's command.

The trio was startled as suddenly the door was pushed open followed by a loud shout for Yu Sha. A bespectacled man with the brown-orange sunglasses, dressed up in casuals with a neon jacket rushed towards Yu Sha. "Yu Sha, come with me."

He had begun dragging her out by her arm when Yu Ping screamed at him. "Leo. I told you not to drag her on impulses to do your stupid photo shoot! My sister can't be shown to the world." Yu Ping's face reddened with rage as he rushed forward, attacking him with a flying kick.

Leo dodged the kick and slammed the door on his face.

"Bastard," Yu Ping let out a few more swear words, looking at the closed door.

Su Na shook her head at the crazy duo. It wasn't the first time when Leo had shut the door on Yu Ping. He always did that. She rolled her eyes, wondering why he hadn't learned his lesson despite it had been years to the same. Resisting was pointless because, in the end, Leo always ended up dragging Yu Sha off.

Everyone at the studio was praying for their CEO to bring the good news. The makeup artist, the photographer, and the whole staff waited for him. He hadn't replied to them. He hadn't let them know either whether he had been successful at retrieving their backup model or not.

Their main model had gotten a terrible cold and could not make it to the photoshoot and their campaign needed to be launched the next day by noon. In times of desperate needs, their boss, Leo, had always handled the situation by using Yu Sha. Unless one had discerning eyes, it was hard to differentiate her identity after she dressed up and adorned her face with the makeup.

Whenever Leo brought her over, he always called her by the nickname, YuYu. The staff had met her for a couple of times in the past when similar situations had arisen but all that they knew about her was that she was a special friend of their CEO, Leo and her name was YuYu. Though she was a little short, she looked extremely stunning in almost any getup.

Yu Sha, slightly shifted her head over to Leo, in the car. "Leo, I have to go home, sort some files and get ready to leave tomorrow."

"No problem, I just need a few good shots for teasers. The next universal fashion event is coming up next month. I have to release several shots of the next season fashion by tomorrow noon." Leo paused as the two questions struck him. Why was she leaving and where was she going? He knew her next big project was going to start after two weeks.

"Where are you going?"

"Aires," Yu Sha replied.

Leo stared at her, utterly confused. "Haven't you two met the VP already and wasn't everything approved?"

"Kind of. We are invited to meet the CEO and check out the area of the project in person. Both of us met them here for the first meeting and then Su Na flew there for the second meeting. It'll be the first time for me but the second time for Su Na. They've already arranged everything," Yu Sha explained.

"So soon?" Leo asked curiously.

"Hmm... we received the email just this morning. We still have to prepare our project files and be ready in case there are some things that we missed the last two times," Yu Sha said.
