"Aaaaaand that's a wrap! Thank you for your hard work, everybody!"
Haruka breathed a sigh of relief as she made her way to the changing room. After numerous photoshoots with D's, Haruka had grown accustomed to walking in towering high heels and skin-tight clothes as well as well as clothes from high fashion brands and designer accessories. She was also used to seeing different versions of herself in the mirror with different hairstyles and different makeup on her face.
Haruka flopped down onto the makeup chair and she rolled her shoulders as the hair stylist took down the curls that were piled on top of Haruka's head while the makeup artist carefully wiped away the bold eyeliner from her eyes.
"Haruka, there you are! I've been looking all over for you."
Haruka waved at Diane, who had stepped into the changing room.
"You knew I was here."
"I know, dear; I just wanted to say that for the dramatic flair. Anyway, you've been working for me for a while now, Haruka, and the photographer has been telling me about how much talent you have."
"Oh, okay. That's nice of him to say," Haruka murmured and she carefully shifted in her seat as the dressers took off her designer coat.
"I've been thinking about what the photographer said and I definitely agree with him. So, I contacted an old friend in Paris and she's willing to take you under her wing for a few months to improve your modeling."
If it weren't for the hair stylist and makeup artist, Haruka would've fallen over from pure shock.
"W-what?"
"You're going to Paris!"
"Paris...France?"
"The one and only."
Haruka's mouth dropped and her mind suddenly blanked before she was drawn back to reality by Diane's voice.
"I'll talk to your parents about it and see if they're okay with you pursuing that path."
"O-okay...but before you do anything...can I think about it first?"
Diane understood; going overseas at such a young age was overwhelming.
"Sure, just let me know before next Sunday, okay?"
Haruka nodded but her mind was filled with thoughts of Kyosuke.
