'I like it,' I said. 'This design is truly beautiful. Thank you Miss Mia.'
'You're too kind,' Mia said modestly. 'Honestly, you make my designs look good. I can make any random design and you'll still look handsome in it. I should thank you for using my designs.'
I smiled at her. 'Miss Mia, would you-'
'Mia!' Cheng burst in through the door. 'Help me!'
Hm? Cheng wasn't using any honorifics. Sure Mia and he were the same age. But Cheng always used honorifics with the staff.
'What is it Cheng sshi?' Mia asked. She didn't call him sir...
'Chocolates or flowers?' he asked.
'What are you talking about?' Mia asked, annoyed.
'Got a new muse, Cheng?' Mina noona teased.
'Duh! New trainees came in,' Cheng replied. 'So tell me Mia. Should I get chocolates or flowers? I don't wanna waste money on both.'
'You do realize most of the trainees are still minors?' I frowned. 'You can't flirt with them.'
'Not for them. Their hot mothers,' Cheng rolled his eyes. 'Half of their mothers are models and divorced. My favorite combo. So Mia, chocolates or flowers?'
'Why are you asking me this?' Mia asked. 'Figure it out on your own.'
She turned to Mina noona. 'Unnie, I'll have to go pick up my son,' she informed. 'I'll be back.'
Son? Mia was married?
'Where does he study?' Cheng asked.
'Will's Public Elementary School,' Mia replied.
'Hey that falls on the way to the shooting location,' Cheng said. 'We can pick him up on the way.'
'I was thinking of dropping him off home,' Mia said. 'His babysitter will be there to look after him.'
'Oh let the kid tag along,' Cheng insisted. 'He can wait for us at the trailer. Besides what's he gonna do at home? Let him come.'
'I am not so sure about that...'
'Let him come,' I said quietly. 'We all can meet him.'
'Yeah Mia,' Mina noona chipped in. 'Bring him. That way you can look over him. Who knows, he might even get scouted.'
'Yeah, I'd rather not let him come into the show biz,' Mia said apprehensively. 'Too much work. But I guess I can bring him for a day.'
'Good,' Cheng said. 'Now go decide if I should get chocolates or flowers. '
'I'll pass,' Mia shrugged him off. 'I'll be off to select the clothes.'
