25:Looming Crisis

A bustling studio set, filled with photographers, stylists, and assistants. The atmosphere was electric with excitement as Suri Barrett, the renowned celebrity, stood poised in a stunning slim dress, ready to shoot for a high-profile advertisement.

Suri Barrett's allure lies in her effortless beauty and timeless charm. Her chestnut locks cascade in soft waves, framing her face with a touch of elegance. Radiating warmth and kindness, her golden coloured eyes sparkle with a subtle hint of mischief, drawing you in with their magnetic gaze. Long, fluttering lashes accentuate her eyes, adding to their captivating allure.

With a flawless complexion and a gentle smile that lights up her face, Suri exuded an air of confidence and grace. Her slender figure moves with fluidity and poise, effortlessly commanding attention wherever she goes. Whether dressed in a sleek evening gown or sporting a casual ensemble, her style is always understated yet undeniably chic, reflecting her impeccable taste and timeless appeal.

Suri stood in the centre of the set with her confidence radiating as the cameras flash around her. The sleek, shimmering dress accentuates her curves, drawing admiration from everyone present.

Photographers scramble to capture the perfect shot, adjusting angles and lighting to highlight Suri's elegance. The air was filled with the clicking of cameras and the murmurs of approval from the crew.

Stylists fuss over Suri, ensuring every strand of her hair is in place and every detail of her makeup is flawless. Their quick movements and whispered instructions add to the sense of urgency and anticipation.

As Suri strikes a pose, one of the photographers exclaims, "That's it, Suri! You're killing it!"

Suri grins, her eyes sparkling with excitement. "Thanks, everyone! Let's keep the momentum going!"

A stylist rushes forward, adjusting a stray strand of Suri's hair. "You look stunning, Suri. This dress was made for you."

Suri nods appreciatively. "You guys know how to flatter."

The director steps forward, his eyes alight with enthusiasm. "Suri, let's try a few shots with a different angle. Can you tilt your head slightly to the left?"

Suri nods, effortlessly shifting into the new pose. "Like this?"

"Perfect!" the director exclaims. "Now give me a big smile!"

Suri flashes her trademark grin, her teeth gleaming in the studio lights. "How's that?"

"Brilliant!" the director replies, excitement evident in his voice. "This is going to be our best ad yet!"

Amidst the flurry of activity, Suri's assistant approached her with a bottle of water. "You're doing amazing, Suri. Do you need anything?"

Suri took a quick sip of water while her eyes scanned the set with satisfaction. "Just a little touch-up on my lipstick, please. Other than that, I'm good to go!"

The assistant nodded, darting off to fetch the lipstick. As Suri prepares for the next shot, she can't help but feel grateful for the talented team surrounding her, each person playing a vital role in bringing her vision to life.

As Suri strikes pose after pose, her natural charisma shines through, captivating everyone in the room. Her effortless grace and charm make it seem as though she was born to be in front of the camera.

In between shots, Suri engages in light-hearted banter with the crew, her infectious laughter filling the room. Despite her fame, she remains down-to-earth and approachable, endearing herself to all who work with her.

As the shoot progresses, Suri's energy only seems to grow, her enthusiasm contagious. Each click of the camera captures a moment of pure magic, destined to become iconic in the world of advertising.

"CUT!"

The shoot was finally over and Suri thanked everyone with a smile and walked into the dressing room.

Taking a seat on the chair, she took a deep breath and massaged her two cheeks.

"I wonder how celebrities smile all day."

"It's exhausting Martha," Suri answered with a bitter smile.

Martha was her manager and a trustworthy person. She was also the one who helped her to groom to what she had become today.

Martha handed her a bottle of mineral water and then spoke with a grave tone.

"Suri, the date of the case is coming soon."

Suri's expression stiffened on hearing this.

It had already been almost three months since the incident happened, still, it hung in the corner of my mind.

The appearance of those two unreasonable people appeared in her mind.

It was quite easy to deal with them. She can just direct mobs to make them suffer or hire some people, but as a celebrity, she needs to maintain herself.

Moreover, she felt a bit weird like the person hit her out of nowhere as if he knew she was going to be there.

She went there to film a shoot and only a handful of people knew about her.

So, it was possible that it might be the work of her enemies or she should be careful.

"Any update..."She asked Martha, raising her brow.

"We got all their information from the private detective."Martha smiled mischievously and added, "Also, we got an interesting piece."

"Their boy seems to be adopted and abused..."

"Huh!" Suri raised her head in shock.

She remembered the young man who came with them. Unlike those two greedy people, the man tried to apologise and get them back but things went weary when the woman tried to hit her.

"Investigate more...You know how people show themselves harmless while hiding their claws."

....

In the apartment.

The sound of clicking resonated in the room one after another.

With a smile, Evan clicked the tabs one after another.

"Let's wrap this up quickly.No need to extend it any longer."
