C214 - Love Triangles And Love Squares Part4
After meeting with Su Lin, Runyan returned back to her office in high spirits. She nervously cracked her joints and called her assistant in.
These next few months are going to be hectic. But she was determined to see through them successfully!
Especially with Su Lin now focussing on her research, Runyan was sure that several major tasks will rely on her capabilities.
Though she was nervous about handling these new responsibilities, she was also excited to grow more and more.
Her mind had already forgotten the weird occurrences that morning, and she was now eagerly waiting for the special guest to arrive.
Beep.
Runyan fished for her phone at the sound of the text message and her lips curled upwards as she saw that the expected guest had arrived.
A petite young woman, who seemed to be still in her teenage years walked in through the company's glass doors.
She had long slender milky white legs that were as fresh as now, and elegant graceful arms without a single scar or tan spot.
Even her neck was pearly white, and her face was as exquisite as if she was an impeccably sculpted jade figurine.
Her long auburn hair danced on her shoulders and the woman adjusted her sunglasses, while she checked in with the receptionist.
"I have an appointment with your boss." She showed the baffled receptionist her text message from Runyan.
"Ah... Yes. Miss Mignani, welcome. Please go upstairs." The receptionist stammered, unable to face such a heaven-defying beauty head-on.
If Mignani was mesmerizing before, right now, she looked like an ethereal beauty descended from the heavens.
"Waaah! Is that the actress Mignani?" The second receptionist couldn't contain her excitement and asked. This was her first time seeing a famous celebrity up close.
"Yes, it is. But... but... why does she look like she just got ten years younger??"
The first receptionist perplexedly looked in the direction of Mignani's slender figure walking up to Runyan's office.
"Good morning, my dear." Mignani happily barged into Runyan's office and hugged her friend tightly.
Ever since her SPA treatment with Su Lin, her entire appearance had changed and she was ecstatic about it.
Though her face had the same defined features, she was much more breathtaking than before.
"Is Lin Lin busy? I want to thank her personally." Mignani beamed and enquired Runyan, as she flopped down onto the couch.
"Sorry, Min'er. Su Lin is busy today. She is buried in some research work." Runyan ordered two coffees for them and nodded in reply.
"Ah, that's too bad. But I am excited to see what she is going to come up with after research! She is too awesome!!"
"Did you see it yet?? Oh my gosh! Can you tell the difference? I have been staring at the mirror, like a vain teenager these past few days!!"
"How on earth did Su Lin manage to make me look this much youthful and beautiful? Even my skin feels so tender and soft."
Mignani happily blabbered in excitement, as she pulled Runyan closer and made her feel her hands, and her cheeks to sense the softness of the skin.
She was extremely thrilled and was excitedly sharing her new improvements with Runyan.
So the two women ended up sitting very close and in a vivid compromising posture.
Monkey, who was coming in to hand over the finalized contract to Shen Mignani, opened the door and saw this unbelievable sight.
His jaw dropped on the floor and the man started panting.
The two women turned around to look at him in confusion, but the man had already dropped the contract papers on the ground and fled the room.
Only a faint distant shout echoed...
"Squirrel... Someone is stealing your wife again!!!"
Both the women ignored his antics and continued with their chat.
Runyan walked over to pick up the finished contracts. "Wah!! Sis Min, you are officially our artist now." Runyan gleefully informed.
"Mmm." Mignani smiled in satisfaction.
The duo then picked up the necessary documents and headed over to the photoshoot department.
Now that Mignani was officially ready to re-enter the entertainment world, the plan was for her to replace Luther as the official model for their cosmetic company, Organicaa.
So this would technically be the first job Shen Mignani was signing on after joining as an artist in Su Lin's company.
The photographer was familiar with her as an actress, but even so, he was stunned by her sudden improved appearance.
With Mignani looking this amazing, he didn't have much work.
The photographer quickly clicked a few candid shots, at the right angles for different products.
He focused on her cherry-like lips for lip balm and lipstick section; he focused on her almond eyes for the eye cream section; he focused on her long silky waves for the hair oil section, and finally, he focused on her entire stunning figure for the moisturizer section.
He diligently confirmed everything and gave a thumbs up to the boss. The entire photo shoot was over within the hour.
After the work was done, Runyan instructed her assistant to hand over the new model photos to the design department for updated online and in-store posters.
With this, their day's work was almost over. So Mignani adamantly dragged Runyan out for an early dinner and drinks.
Su Lin was still holed up in the lab working on her research, so she didn't join the duo for the fun evening.
But a couple of uninvited guests tagged along with Mignani and Runyan...
Monkey dragged the hesitant Squirrel and ran over to Runyan and Mignani when they were walking out of the company.
"Hi, beauties. How about we accompany you for drinks? It is our responsibility as men to protect beautiful women." Monkey puffed out his chest and resolutely declared.
Next to him, Squirrel's ears were burning with embarrassment. Why did his brother always have to act so brazenly?! He silently cursed Monkey's complete lack of shame.
"Ah. OK. Sure." Runyan nodded.
"Umm... We are headed towards Netherdragon eatery." Mignani awkwardly told the address.
Neither of them had expected any company! So they didn't know how to react!
