5 The Guy You Have To Compensate

Arya arrived at the rehearsal venue two minutes early before the call time. "What took you so long? Hurry up and go backstage. Don't give the others a bad impression on your first runway walk." Kay said frowning.

Arya laughed and said, "I was drunk last night but it turned out to be a blessing in disguise. I think I got the target's attention using a very awkward way."

Kay suddenly hooked his arms on hers and said, "Tell me what happened. What do you mean by that?"

Arya winked and said, "I will tell you after the rehearsal. So don't scold me later since I made it on time." Then she pulled herself away from him and quickly went inside. She was grinning. Kay was a nagger, he was a gay perfectionist when it comes to work, especially with time matters. She always hears him complaining whenever an artist who comes late on set. He hates handling tardy stars.

Kay shook his head and smiled as he looked at the back of Arya. He was with the entertainment industry for so long and he can almost read all types of people. When Rita asked him to get someone for Ryu Ken, Arya was the only person he had thought of who will fit well.

There was something about her that would definitely get Ryu Ken's attention compared to any other woman he knew. It was just a hunch, he was not too sure if he made the right decision but one thing is for sure – this will help Arya with her current situation.

He also offered Arya his support. However, he couldn't extend it like what Rita could do for her. Rita had the connections to all the networks Arya needed.

Then he thought of Ryu Ken, he was the typical cold rich man and was said to be ruthless but he was a clean person thus, he does not do dirty things like physically assaulting, hurting or killing people.

Ryu Ken was a civilized person. So Kay was certain that in case Arya succeeded and completed the task, it will not bring Arya any harm in the end. That's why he was confident to involve Arya. Besides, Rita had prepared everything for Arya's disappearance. So he would not be able to see her when that time comes.

It was just a waste that Arya wouldn't be able to pursue this career for now given she was born for the limelight. He could tell she would be a star in the future; she was very promising given her talents. If she succeeded, she definitely needs to hide from Ryu's radar for a certain period of time. A year will do at most.

"Good one! Okay, let's wrap it up guys!" shouted by the director as the models were signaled for dismissal.

All models came from six continents. Arya was included in the models that will be walking twice.

"So what do you think about the catwalk? You are a natural. I can also give you an opportunity for acting after a year." Kay exclaimed while they were inside a coffee shop. Arya just smiled, she was not sure if she will pursue the limelight. She was confused at the moment because it was out of line from the course she graduated in.

Her thought was interrupted by Kay's sudden poking. "So tell me what happened with Ryu Ken." Kay said excitedly. Arya told him everything.

She heard Kay screame in just a moderate tone. He was careful not to catch any attention from jis surrondings and said, "Kinky tremendous!"

"Hush, you are too noisy. You know that's my usual routine. I even sleep with just my undies on or without anything at all. It's a good thing I fainted and wasn't able to take off my clothes. Ryu Ken was a slight pervert, I guess. He saw me stripping and did not even make a sound until I saw him looking at me!" Arya frowned as she remembered how her skin hairs stood up upon seeing the look on Ryu's eyes while he stared at her.

Then her phone beeped.

[Meet me at the hotel lobby at 4pm. It's me, the guy you need to compensate.]

Arya frowned. "Compensate? I don't even have a penny and he was the one who was super rich!" she complained while typing a reply.

"I told you, you're the best for this. See that? It's like in a drama, he will probably ask for your body." Kay said blunty and laughed seeing how Arya covered her chest as if she was nude. 'What a funny girl' he thought to himself still laughing at Arya's reaction.

"Wait, what should I reply? I told him earlier that I was going compensate him." Arya said as she deleted the reply.

"Just meet him and ask what he wanted. Wait, if he asks for a night, you know some rich men do that stuff. Most of my artists are willing to do anything to be on top." Kay looked at Arya directly and was curious what's on her mind.

"Is he nuts? He should be the one to compensate me instead for seeing my almost naked body for free! I'm just being nice to him because he did not take advantage of me that night. If he was Jim, for sure, I will be sore all over my body once I wake up." Arya explained.

She actually admired how Ryu Ken respected her overnight because not all guys can do the same.

"Well, probably he was not into you or you are not his type," said by Kay who was obviously teasing her.

"We will see. But you know what? I don't know why but there's this chilling feeling whenever he stared at me as if..." Arya hesitated and just continued to type her reply that she confirmed her presence.

"What? Tell me." Kay insisted.

"Never mind," Arya pouted her lips.

After a little bit of bantering, the two separated. Arya returned to the hotel to freshen up and change.

'He is a bit early.' Arya thought to herself when she noticed when Ryu waiting at the hotel lobby.

She walked towards him and greeted him, "Hi."

Ryu looked at her. She was just in a casual dress yet she looked beautiful in his eyes.

He stood up and said, "Let's go," Arya frowned and asked, "Wait, where are we going?"

"Oh right, how long are you booked to stay here?" Ryu suddenly asked. Although Arya was confused, she answered, "I'm staying here for seven more days,why?"

"You promised to compensate me. So I have decided that you would accompany me during my free time and treat me to every meal for seven days." Ryu said looking straight to her eyes as he grinned wickedly.
