SWNOVELS Chapter CHAPTER 66
66 Reunited on Set
Emma, unexpectedly cast into the photoshoot, was ushered into makeup and wardrobe by Jennifer. Once dressed, she looked as if the outfit had been custom–made for her, stunning everyone present.
Jada, in awe,
we, commented on how incredible Emma looked. However, the thought of Alex as her photoshoot partner felt incongruous.
Jennifer, puzzled by the reactions, questioned, “Why wouldn’t Emma and Alex be suitable for the shoot? Emma, you’re a celebrity too, right? You two are a perfect match. I’ve never seen a duo as fitting as you two. Did you know each other before?”
Emma, caught up in the whirlwind since her arrival, hadn’t clarified her role to Jennifer. “I’m here from headquarters to find a solution, not be one. And for your information, we’re divorced. Ex- spouses doing a photoshoot together isn’t common.”
Jennifer, unaware of their history, had assumed Emma was the ideal model for the shoot. She had struggled to find a female celeb who perfectly complemented Alex’s look until Emma appeared.
Despite the revelation of their past relationship, Jennifer playfully suggested, “If you’re here to resolve a problem, and this resolves it, then why not? Being divorced doesn’t change the fact that you look stunning together.”
Jennifer saw Emma and Alex as a visually perfect pair, oblivious to their emotional complexities. She focused solely on the aesthetics.
Caught off guard, Emma and Jada didn’t know how to respond to Jennifer’s candid approach.
Jennifer, determined to proceed, encouraged Emma, “Just relax during the shoot. Forget the past. I’ll ensure you look fabulous.”
Emma realized she needed to complete the shoot, despite the irony of reuniting with Alex in such close proximity after years of a strained marriage.
Alex, learning he’d be paired with Emma, felt a mix of excitement and apprehension. He was determined to maintain composure around her.
During the shoot, Emma displayed effortless elegance, while Alex struggled, being an amateur in front of the camera. Jennifer’s favor in the past had led to this unexpected pairing.
Jennifer was delighted with the shoot’s outcome, even with Alex’s less–than–stellar performance. Observing Alex, she sensed lingering feelings for Emma, hinting at a possible rekindling despite their divorce.
For insiders like Jada and Johnson, the turn of events was baffling. After hours of shooting, Jennifer was convinced the magazine would be a success, potentially breaking industry barriers.
Jada, reflecting on the day’s events, was amazed. “It’s incredible how you and Alex ended up as partners for this shoot. His gaze towards you was filled with so many unspoken emotions.”
