Chapter 32 – 32 – Model Scouting
#
Someone’s room.
It was too big to call it a room, but since it was limited to one person, it could be called a room.
Tuck-tuck-
A person approaches In-young in front of him.
[Hello.]
The manager stopped and bowed politely to the person sitting in front of him.
[…
The person in front responded to the greeting with a slight nod, as if the manager was familiar.
[Did you see the report I posted?]
[Yes…]
[Then the story will be fast. Then I will briefly brief.]
The manager briefly told the other person what had happened.
The other party listened with interest to the manager’s story. However, he also made a complicated expression in secret.
[… So, you have shown your willingness to continue. Is that person intending to get rid of the resentment?]
[Well…]
The other person who keeps silent and strokes the chin.
Then he struggled to open his mouth.
[With your authority… Can’t you stop it?…]
The opponent seemed to be anxious about something.
[I can forcefully stop it, but if I do… Haha…]
The manager made a troubled face and spoke as if he wanted consideration.
At the end, he answered the question with a laugh.
[… Yes, but, but…]
[Everything depends on the user’s choice. Isn’t everything agreed upon? As promised, we must watch without any intervention.]
[Is it?…]
The face of the other person looked confused and heartbroken.
When the manager saw the other person’s expression, he became concerned.
‘It’s just the beginning.
[… Then, I’ll come back at the next report. I’ll just go.]
The manager greeted the other person politely, and in an instant, the manager disappeared.
The person who was talking to the manager just stared blankly into the void.

The next morning.
Sia opened her eyes, washed up briefly, and went out.
Beep-beep
Sia got into the car.
Sia had two things to do today.
One was an appointment to meet Choi Mi-jeong at her cafe, and the other was a shopping trip to prepare for her meeting with Woo-jin, which was to be three days later.
CEO Choi Mi-jung asked to see her for a while, so Shia, who had nothing to do, complied with her promise.
“When business is over, I’ll go straight to the mart… I’ll have to set the navigator first.”
Sia likes to cook.
When visiting, she often brought her own packed lunch.
In the case of Woo-jin, she ate it deliciously, and she thought that she was okay with it because the evaluations of her predecessors who came to visit with her were not bad.
Burrung-
After setting her destination with her navigator, Shia drove her car vigorously.
#
Sia entered the cafe.
“Here.”
A woman looking at Sia and beckoning. She was Choi Mi-jeong.
Shia walked towards the table where Choi Mi-jung was sitting.
“Hello… This is Isia.”
“Nice to see you again. She is called Choi Mi-jeong.”
She is a bold and confident woman.
The impression was that it looked very refreshing.
It’s not the first time I’ve seen it, but I was so distracted at the time that I couldn’t see it properly.
She said, ‘I thought she was just a young mother…’
To Sia, Choi Mi-jung looked young for a woman with children.
That said, she wasn’t the same age as him, and she felt the unique maturity of an adult.
“Coffee was prepared as Americano without difficulty.”
Sia looked at the coffee cup placed in front of her.
“Oh, thank you.”
The two drink slowly.
“But… Why did you ask me to see you?”
She had been exchanging messages yesterday, and Choi Mi-jeong had asked Sia if she had time tomorrow.
She was at home and she had nothing to do, so she responded and she came to this cafe now.
“Oh right!”
Choi Mi-jeong held out her paper bag beside her own to her Shia.
“This… Must be the right size for Xia.”
“This..”
Sia looking inside the bag.
“It’s the underwear size Shia said. In fact, we are also preparing products for people of larger sizes. Before launching, the first thing to do is to give it to Xia.”
“Ah. Okay.”
Sia pulled out the boxes in her bag and checked them.
Fortunately, there were not many people in the cafe, so she was able to check in peace.
“Five..”
A lot of different designs of underwear. The material was also of good quality.
“For you to give me this much… I wonder if you’re asking for something too expensive?”
Sia is a little burdened by the things Choi Mi-jeong gives her.
Freya’s underwear was of good quality, so it was somewhat expensive.
The paper bag Sia received from Choi Mi-jung was full of boxes of underwear, so I thought it would be worth it in terms of price.
‘The clothes I wore back then can all be erased with just one wash, but I feel like I’m receiving too much, so my conscience stings..’
“It’s okay. Since we talked yesterday, you bought a lot of our brand, and we’re just giving you a gift, no compensation, with a good heart, so please accept it.”
“If it feels burdensome, why don’t you try it on and leave me a review? Since it is an unreleased product, we need a lot of data.”
“Ah..Then I’ll accept it on that condition.”
At least Sia received the underwear comfortably.
After that, we continued talking to each other.
Choi Mi-jeong talked about a variety of topics, from her own son to her company, and her good mood conversation followed, asking her questions to Sia and Sia telling her own story.
“So are you going to visit your boyfriend this weekend?”
“Yes. I’m going to stop by the mart later and prepare a lunch box.”
“It’s nice… I had times when I was passionate like Xia-san…”
“Ah…”
Choi Mi-jung looks down.
Shia wonders what happened to Choi Mi-jung in the past, and she is about to become solemn in line with Choi Mi-jeong.
“I am still passionate. Whoops.”
As if she had played a joke, the atmosphere changed.
“Yes?..”
Sia was confused because she couldn’t understand her situation, and heard her story of Mi-Jeong Choi.
Choi Mi-jung, she says, dated a childhood friend of hers, such as Shia, and made her a boyfriend.
And then it was that she married her boyfriend soon after she became an adult and that continues to this day,
The conclusion was that it was not what Sia was concerned about.
“I still love my husband.”
Haha…”
The clever Choi Mi-jeong.
There was a feeling that a person like this was the representative director of Freyja.
Sia, who felt that her personality was different from her mature appearance, thought that she should not judge people by their appearance today.
“Here, Shia.”
“Yes?”
“Could you take off your coat, stand up, and turn around?”
“Yes?”
Shia was surprised by the sudden sound, but seeing Choi Mi-jung’s eyes twinkle, she had no choice but to do as she was told.
‘I got something…’
Shia takes off her outerwear and slowly raises her body.
“Don’t you mean spinning in place?”
“Yes, just slowly turn 360 degrees.”
Shia slowly turns in place.
Shia was in a place where there were few people, so no one looked at her.
Again – Again – Again –
The sound of Sia’s heels colliding with the floor was heard.
“Oh~”
Admiring Mijeong Choi.
Doncia all round.
“Are you done now?”
No one was watching, but something was embarrassing.
I couldn’t understand why they were doing this in the first place.
“Sia-san.”
“Yes.”
“Would you like to be our company model?”
“Yes?”
Sudden scouting offer.
“You know the underwear I gave to Shia. I needed a model to launch it, but I couldn’t find a suitable model.”
“Ah… I…”
“How is it? I’ll give you a high pay~”
Choi Mi-jeong, who speaks like a savory uncle.
It was also something of a broken tone.
“I have an eye for people, but I’m suggesting it because Xia’s image seems suitable for modeling.”
Sia can’t easily answer Choi Mi-jung’s proposal.
“The proportions are good, the face looks innocent, and it is suitable for modeling. Do you think it’s a waste that you haven’t been modeling until now?”
Choi Mi-jung coaxes Shia with words.
It probably wasn’t empty talk. Sia’s appearance was not lacking even if I expressed it like that.
Sia was grateful and happy for Choi Mi-jung, who had a high opinion of her.
She took her job as a model because it was the job she dreamed of when she was a child.
However, Sia, who had given up in the face of her natural limitations.
Sia got her app, and as a result, the opportunity to become a model came to her, which was her childhood dream. But…
“Can I do a good job as a model? Getting attention from others is a little…”
The dream of becoming a model is definitely a thing of the past.
I had already given up on my dream before, so it was something I couldn’t even think of now.
She was worried that she would be able to adapt well to modeling.
“It’s good to be noticed! And if it’s Sia, she’ll do just fine. I vouch for it!”
“…”
Choi Mi-jung explains why she proposed her model to Sia, who is not easily able to decide.
She said, “She had been eyeing Sia from the cafe entrance earlier. Ah! To be exact, she heard of Xia’s size via text message yesterday and thought she should take a look. Is it true or not?”
“If it was true, she thought about scouting as a model. She usually checks it out because she’s the majority of people who don’t know what size fits her, but what? She really didn’t know she could be that size.”
“As I said before, the face, body and atmosphere are very good conditions for modeling. While I was running Freya, I scouted some of the famous models that are currently popular as models.”
“I trust my eyes. If it’s Xia-san, she will definitely succeed as a model.”
Sia was slightly moved by Choi Mi-jung’s words.
The only thing to be moved is that if there is a partner who sees potential in an unfulfilled dream, you will be moved without even realizing it.
“There..”
“Yes. Please speak.”
“Can I come and decide after getting permission from my boyfriend?”
“If your boyfriend tells you not to do it, are you going to stop doing it?”
“Yes.. I don’t want to do something my boyfriend doesn’t like.”
She longed for a job as a model from before, but she also had a way to major in Shia, and trust with Woo Jin-yi was more important to her.
It was a decision that took into account the possibility that Woojin’s anxiety would become serious if he started working as a model without permission and was caught.
“You think of your boyfriend a lot.”
“Yes..”
Woo-jin, who is not by his side right now, but is more precious than anyone else.
I didn’t want to do something that Woojin didn’t like.
That’s why I thought it was necessary to talk and decide.
“I know. You said you were going this week? A decision will then be made during the weekend. If the results come out, could you please contact me?”
“All right.”
After talking like that, Choi Mi-jung had to go to a business meeting, and Sia had to go shopping to prepare for the visit, so the two naturally left the cafe and parted ways.
