Chapter - 04

“He's here?” Jake asked after Adam explained the refusal.

“Yes, he is shooting with my new model. I even suspect that he has a crush on the new kid.” Adam shrugged. “She's really beautiful, I have to admit, different from my usual models.”

“That makes me curious—” Jake stood up and covered his head with the black hoodie he was wearing. “—what are the criteria for Veroga Arizki's ideal girl?”

Jake headed straight for the photoshoot, hoping he could still see what Rizki's ideal woman looks like, who is always secretive about his love story.

However, when he saw the woman in Rizki's arms, Jake's heart seemed to stop.

He remembered well who it was. Jake remembered her well, obviously, because she had been the source of his nightmares lately.

Arsyila Putri.

She… is the new kid? Did she refuse to take pictures with Jake because she knew they would meet again?

This crazy girl needs to be taught a lesson!

“When do they finish?”

Adam frowned. “Why? Do you have a crush on the new kid too?”

Jake snorted. “No, I just have a small problem with her.”

As soon as the photo shoot was over, Rizki immediately approached Jake and Adam who had seen his and Syila's pose in front of the camera.

“What do you think? Turns out the girl's pose is really good,” praise Rizki sincerely.

As an amateur, the way Syila carries herself when photographed is somewhat different from other amateurs. She is quite proficient and free, her pose is so fitting even though the photographer has not had time to give directions. Her instincts as a model are absolutely incredible.

“It's only natural that she goes to model school,” Jake said lazily, Rizki sounded exaggerated.

“She's not a model graduate, Jake,” Adam interrupted quickly.

Jake glared. “Then, why did you accept her, ha?!”

Adam shrugged. “You won't know what problems are happening in the internal part of my agency. Now this agency could go bankrupt at any time.”

Rizki and Jake looked at each other with wide eyes. They didn't believe it, of course. Adam has many amazing connections and most of his models already have names that some of them have become actors, such as Veroga Arizki.

However, why did this happen?

“So, that's why you want to make me a temporary model here?” Jake frowned suspiciously. So, he really came here to be used by his best friend?

Adam laughed softly. “Sorry.” Adam took a deep breath. “I didn't mean to do that, I'm just... confused.”

Rizki could not comment, he had been with Adam, but he had left. Since becoming an actor, he has his own management that specifically serves him.

As for Jake, he clearly doesn't need an agency like that just to boost his name, which is already well-known everywhere.

“Brother, I can change now, can't I? Shall I change into something else?”

The voice made the three of them turn around. Syila frowned when she saw the three people gathered in one place. However, her eyes widened as soon as she met Jake's eyes.

“You!” she exclaimed, pointing at Jake with her index finger. Isn't he the guy I slept with?

“See you again, right? If it's a match, it won't go anywhere, Arsyila Putri.”

Syila snorted. “Match from hell! What are you doing here? Are you a friend of Brother Adam and Rizki?” Syila frowned suspiciously. “But I guess, you're older than the two of them, right?”

“What an insolent girl! I'm still young, but you dare say I'm old.” Jake glared at her.

Syila stuck her tongue out and looked directly at Adam who was stunned to see the interaction of her new model with her best friend.

“You guys know each other?” Adam couldn't hide his curiosity.

“No, I don't know him, Brother. Who is he?”

Jake smiled faintly. “So, you mean you wanted to put me in with her, huh, Dam?”

“Yes, but Rizki wants to replace you, so that's how it is.” Adam cleared his throat. He looked at Syila meaningfully. “He's Jaguar Adytama, or Jake, the guy I talked to you about earlier.”

“Oh, so you're an actor? I just found out that.” Syila looked at Jake up and down. “But, how come I never see your face on TV? Are you a fake actor? What's more, you're not very civilized.”

“What do you mean by not very civilized?” Jake asked looking displeased to hear that.

“Bastard, asshole, insolent.” Syila stuck her tongue out. She ignored Jake who was clenching his fists and gritting his teeth furiously. “So how about it, Brother? You haven't answered my question yet.”

Adam gasped. “Ah, yes, you change clothes again, take photos with other clothing designs, Syil.”

"Yes, sir!"

With light steps, Syila left the three people who were staring at her back in silence. Rizki cleared his throat loud enough to attract the attention of two grown men who were now looking at him in confusion.

“So you have a crush on her, Jake?” he asked directly.

Jake shook his head firmly. “No.”

“That's good then, that means she's mine and you have to back off right now.”

Jake glared at Rizki's reply to him. He grabbed the collar of Rizki's summer shirt and looked him in the eye.

“Stay away from her, she's mine,” he said, suppressing all the words.

Rizki pushed Jake's hand away from his shirt collar. “You don't like her, why are you so obsessed with her? I'm not giving up, Jake. She will be mine.” Rizki leaves from there.

Jake looked at Rizki sharply. Hell even if the two of them were good friends before, he wouldn't let Rizki have Syila. The woman is his.

Jake glanced at Adam out of the corner of his eye. “There's still another couple photoshoot, right? I want to go for it myself.”

Adam could only frown and smile lopsidedly. Apparently, there was something Jake was hiding from him about Arsyila.

Ah, could it be... Syila is a virgin who has slept with Jake?

Incredible coincidence, Adam commented in his mind.
