A few days later at the Imperial Star, Flourishing Winds Building. At the 54th floor,
"This is simply too much," a beautiful mer who was wearing a flamboyant suit looked down at his slightly bloated belly. "Were the sizes not taken properly?" He asked the assistant who was in charge of dressing him. "How can you make such a mistake, ah?" He asked in a rather thick accent.
"The dress shirt was made according to your size, Mister Song," replied the assistant as he looked at the mer with a frown on his face. "Did you once again eat that flaky mock pastry at Ming Ming bakery?"
Hearing the accusatory words of his assistant Song Hu, looked away.
"Mister Song!" Seeing the expression on Song Hu's face, what else did the assistant need to know? His expression turned stern as he flailed his hands up and down. "I have told you that you are allergic to the contents of that pastry. It's made of mock ingredients that don't suit your skin too well. Why do you not listen to me?"
"Look at this now? Your stomach has bloated so much!"
"What are we supposed to do now?"
On the other side of the same room, in the back room of the stage, another man was being scolded by his assistant. The woman pinched the bridge of her nose before saying, "Seriously? Peng Long, are you trying to look for a way to end your career? How can you eat spicy chicken on the night before your fashion week?"
"Look at your face, the amount of pimples is just too much, how are we supposed to hide them?"
"Sister Wan, I really didn't want to eat it but my friends—"
"I don't want to listen to your nonsense!"
Jia Dandan who was sitting in the dressing room rubbed his forehead feeling annoyed. He couldn't believe that there were so many unprofessional models who would be walking on the ramp with him.
"What a hullabaloo," he muttered under his breath. He was surveying the dressing room with great distaste as if it was the last place he would want to be if not for the fact that he was helping out one of his close friends.
"Indeed," his assistant, Little Tang Tang snorted along. He looked at the various models who had made a mess of themselves by not listening to their nutritionists and assistants with a hint of disdain on his face. "I am glad that I am your assistant Mister Jia. You have never once troubled me like this."
"Of course, I would never make a rookie mistake like this," Jia Dandan snorted arrogantly. He looked over at the model who was crying as his skin had turned flaky.
He had most probably eaten something that didn't sit well with his body which had led to this reaction.
Now his assistant was furious as she looked for a way to deal with the flaky skin that was scattered all over her face.
