The Outcast Heiress's Secret Identities-Chapter 876 - 0865 I’m here

"Alright, time’s almost up. Let’s head to the studio first!"

Chu Ling nodded, and the group left the dressing room together.

In the studio, the background was already set up, and everything was ready for the shoot.

An assistant carefully approached, carrying a locked briefcase and wearing black gloves.

As the briefcase was opened, a pair of rings, a necklace, a bracelet, and a pair of earrings along with a forehead ornament were revealed.

These must be the new products Cartier wanted to shoot this time.

At two o’clock, the scheduled time for the photoshoot, the photographer had not yet arrived, and the group could do nothing but wait.

Ten minutes passed, and the photographer still had not shown up.

Su Ran furrowed her brow; in a professional photography team, the photographer should not make such a mistake.

After all, studios charge by the hour, the schedule is tight, and other photoshoots are lined up afterward.

Twenty minutes passed, still no photographer, and the atmosphere in the studio became tense.

"What’s going on? Why hasn’t the photographer arrived yet?"

"At this time, they should have been here by now. Did something happen?"

Everyone had started preparing early. If the shoot couldn’t proceed today, all the efforts would be in vain.

Su Ran glanced at her wristwatch and said to Chu Ling’s assistant, "Go find out what’s going on with the photography team."

The assistant nodded, quickly left the studio with her phone in hand.

Five minutes later, the assistant returned with a grave expression, "President Su..."

"What happened?"

The assistant looked distressed, "The photography team got ’borrowed’ by Tiffany next door. They’re currently shooting there."

Hearing this, Su Ran’s brows immediately furrowed.

"Borrowed?"

The assistant nodded, "Yes, Tiffany’s photography team got stuck on the road and couldn’t arrive. Josie Martin has work scheduled and can’t be delayed, so they borrowed our photography team, saying they’ll shoot Chu Ling after they’re done!"

Su Ran let out a cold laugh, "Shoot Chu Ling after they finish? So, who exactly paid for this photography team? Cartier or Tiffany?"

It was the first time the assistant had seen Su Ran lose her temper; she trembled and lowered her head.

Nan Shuyun stood nearby, clenching her fist, her face full of anger upon hearing the assistant’s words.

"What is Josie Martin playing at? They wronged Chu Ling, yet target her at every turn. First, they poached her stylist and makeup artist, and now they won’t spare the photographer. Cartier paid for the photography team—why should they shoot for someone else? Do they have no professional ethics?"

Normally gentle and weak, Shuyun barely seemed aggressive even when angry, only her flushed face showing her anger.

Chu Ling’s expression wasn’t good either, "Cartier’s headquarters values this shoot highly. If we mess this up, we might lose the endorsement, and we only have three hours. Without a photographer... President Su, what should we do?"

"Cartier hired the photography team. Even if the shoot goes wrong, it shouldn’t be blamed on you, right?" Shuyun asked, puzzled.

Chu Ling shook her head and sighed, "It’s not that simple."

The issue with the photography team might not be her fault, but it also proved that her fame was less than Josie Martin’s.

If that’s the case, Cartier might cancel the contract!

"Then call them back. Cartier paid for them. Why should they shoot for someone else?!"

Shuyun puffed her cheeks, rare anger showing on her face.

The assistant looked worried, "What if they insist on finishing their shoot..."

"Do they dare to breach the contract openly?"

Zhou Ziyi pursed her lips and said, "It’s better to contact another photography team soon. Arguing now will only waste more time."

In this industry, breaches of contract are all too common!

Hearing Zhou Ziyi’s words, the others remained silent. Where to find another photography team now?

Contacting another team would be like admitting defeat.

Calling back the photography team would also put Chu Ling in a bad light.

Josie Martin really had some tricks up her sleeve. ƒrēenovelkiss.com

At that moment, Su Ran suddenly said, "No need."

Hearing this, they all looked at her in confusion.

Su Ran curved her lips, smiling, "I’ll do it."

"You’ll do it?"

"You’ll do it?"

"You’ll do it?"

The three spoke in unison, faces questioning.

Su Ran nodded with a smile, "Yes, I’ll do it."

A sudden realization hit Zhou Ziyi, her face in shock.

"President Su, do you mean you’ll take the photos? Stand in for the photographer?"

Su Ran nodded again.

The three fell silent, staring at her speechlessly.

Su Ran didn’t say more, her gaze falling upon Chu Ling, scrutinizing her makeup, styling, and outfit, lost in thought.

Chu Ling was puzzled by her stare.

"President Su, what’s wrong?"

"I’ve seen Cartier’s new products, your makeup and styling don’t match their theme requirements."

Chu Ling touched her face, "Really?"

Su Ran nodded, her gaze shifting to Zhou Ziyi and Shuyun.

"You two will be in charge of Chu Ling’s makeup, styling, and outfit again."

"Again?"

Su Ran directly gave them her requirements, making both stunned.

"How about it? Can you do it?"

Both replied in unison, "Yes."

Su Ran’s lips curved slightly, then she looked at Chu Ling.

"Remember, I want her to be unattainable in every shot!"

The word ’unattainable’ sent a shiver down their spines.

Nodding solemnly, they took Chu Ling back to the dressing room.

While waiting, Su Ran asked Chu Ling’s assistant to borrow a camera from the next studio and see which lighting technician was free.

Others started muttering complaints.

"We should just contact another photography team instead of doing this."

"Yeah, isn’t this a waste of our time? Can her amateur shots even be good?"

"Cartier is really unlucky; their new endorsements are definitely ruined!"

"Tiffany has better foresight, hiring Josie Martin, an international supermodel. That’s a difference in taste and vision!"

"If I were the photography team, I’d prefer working with Tiffany, as working with an international supermodel and stylist is prestigious."

"Exactly, just look here, the difference is too much!"

Their words were filled with sarcasm and mockery, unaware that they were also being mocked.

As time ticked by, Su Ran adjusted the camera focus and made all preparations for the shoot.

The studio was deathly silent, the atmosphere heavy and tense.

As impatience grew, Chu Ling stepped out of the dressing room the next moment.

Seeing her in black, jaws dropped and eyes nearly fell out of their sockets.

Everyone stared in awe, every eye on the high, slender figure approaching.

She seemed to step on light, walk on clouds, and remain untouchable, untouched by earthly matters.
