Abbygail P.O.V
I take a deep breathe and say a quick paryer.Then open my eyes staring into the mirror of the dressing room.Today is my first model shoot in Thailand.To say i'm scared would be the understatement of the century.I hear 3 knocks sound on my door.

"Abbygail! Abbygail are you dressed, can I come in now?" My annoying manager of 3 years uttered. He met me when I was 19. Interestingly enough he had absolutely no experience in managing before taking me on.We met in a bar when I was 19 and he was 21.He told me about his dreams of becoming a manger and starting his own label and I told him about my dreams about becoming a artist and we decided that we could help eachother achieve our goals.

In the beginning it was horrible and slow.
Eventually I was able to attract a big audience on my own without management.I told him that if he didn't try to learn more about becoming a manager then I would find another one to take his place. From that experience it was a wake up call and he learned how to manage me properly.

"Yes Max,you can come in i'm dressed." Max opens the door and I stand up from my chair awkwardly because of the fabric.

"Wow you look beautiful." He walks closer to me and pats my head.I push his hand away.

"Max i'm to nervous for this I dont think I can do it." I sit down into the chair facing the mirror and sulk.Max makes eye contact with me in the mirror.

"Now i've seen you perform songs infront of thousands of people many times. You always doubt yourself and get anxious then when you go out there you say its not that bad when its finished". He chuckles and crosses his arms

"I get that Max but this is different. We're in a different country. I barely understand the language.If it wasn't for those dramas and last minute language preps you taught me. I would be completely lost." I say exasperatedly. Max was able to teach me Thai before coming here but i'm still a bit nervous to actually speak it.

"Listen Abby we've toured many places I get this is the first time doing shoots out of the country.But everything is going to be fine . I'm here for you,Rico is here for you,Ash and Amber are here for you. If anyone trys to hurt you I will tear this entire place up from top to bottom leaving no makeup brush or chair unturned." He says jokingly but has a serious look in his eyes. Max has always been protective like an annoying older brother you can't ever get rid of.

" I guess your right Max. But please don't tear nothing up because we can not afford to pay for any of this stuff in this building. Max laughs and smiles

"No but we will run away after the crime is committed. They can't charge what they don't see." Max Says with a smug expression.
He hands me a water bottle and my necklace that I take before every perform or shoot.

"Thanks Max, I guess you actually do do your job half of the time?" I drink my water and put on my necklace

"Girl dont test me I will cancel this shoot and say you're sick." He raises his eyebrow and crosses his arms.

"Have I ever told you how much I love you?" I hug Max before he can get any complaints out.

"Not enough you haven't" He murmurs still in my embrace.

"Well let me tell you after the shoot is shot and finished." I smirk and release him from my hold.

Max rolls his eyes and proceeded to brief me on this victorian style shoot.
"So your partner for this shoot is someone I think you've heard of before?"

"Who is it? I know i've seen alot of Thai dramas but that was years ago." I began to feel excitement bubble in my stomach.Before I became famous I used to watch dramas all the time.
