Scars Of A Broken Bond by Calv Momose

Did she recognize her?
Pretending to be oblivious, Sabrina treated Keilani as a fresh face, casually remarking, “Keilani, right? Sabrina, your
photographer. Let’s dive into your style and preferred backdrop. Got any reference snaps?
Ny assistant’s on standby for the prep.”
Keilani glanced at Sabrina through the mirror and replied, “I can’t explain it. Let’s discuss it on-site once I’m done glamming up.”
Sabrina, foreseeing a time lag in scene setup post-makeup, tried to reason, “Setting up after makeup will take time.”
With an air of indifference, Keilani shrugged off, “That’s your problem, not mine.”
Well, in the initial skirmish, Sabrina detected an air of unfriendliness.
A gut feeling whispered to her that Keilani’s agenda wasn’t about striking poses but rather targeting her.
Despite Keilani donning a foreigner’s face, her accent hinted at local ties or mixed heritage. Judging from Keilani’s affluent attire
and appearance in Austrain, it seemed she hailed from a well-to-do family, well-versed in local circles. This knowledge fueled
Sabrina’s suspicion that Keilani deliberately chose her as the photographer, envisioning a more straightforward path to inflict
torment.
Sabrina harbored doubts about receiving any accolades from Keilani.
These uncertainties solidified as events unfolded.

Past 10:00, Keilani, finally done with her makeup, made her way to the filming site, accompanied by a helping staff who catered
to her wardrobe and handbags.
Keilani subtly signaled to her attendant.
The attendant produced Keilani’s phone, displaying a photo for Sabrina’s scrutiny.
“This is the backdrop I require. Swift preparation is imperative. I have a tight two-day window, and there’s no room for makeup
delays.”
Wearing a smirk, Keilani cast a pointed glance at Sabrina, adding, “Failure to complete the shoot on time may warrant a refund
application.”
Typically, clients signed contracts after making deposits.
The agreement stated that if the studio failed to fulfill its obligations or if clients were dissatisfied, they could request a
cancellation with a full refund.
However, cancellations were rare, as most clients approached the process in good faith, expecting the studio to meet their
needs. If a photographer caused a cancellation, it could tarnish their professional record.
Sabrina assured, “I’ll expedite the process, but cooperation is key for a successful shoot.”
Keilani chuckled and replied, “Certainly, I’m genuinely cooperative.
Though fair warning, I have a bit of a temper. I hope you’ll pardon me.”
“Now, since we’re on the same page about cooperation, I will go straight to the point. The chosen backdrop doesn’t complement
your attire. It’s a bit chaotic and might impact the visual appeal of the photo,” Sabrina remarked.
Keilani retorted, “I like this kind of background.”
