Past 10:00, Keilani, finally done with her makeup, made her way to the filming site, accompanied by a helping staff who catered to her wardrobe and handbags.

Keilani subtly signaled to her attendant.

The attendant produced Keilani's phone, displaying a photo for Sabrina's scrutiny.

"This is the backdrop I require. Swift preparation is imperative. I have a tight two-day window, and there's no room for makeup delays."

Wearing a smirk, Keilani cast a pointed glance at Sabrina, adding, “Failure to complete the shoot on time may warrant a refund application."

Typically, clients signed contracts after making deposits.

The agreement stated that if the studio failed to fulfill its obligations or if clients were dissatisfied, they could request a cancellation with a full refund.

However, cancellations were rare, as most clients approached the process in good faith, expecting the studio to meet their needs. If a photographer caused a cancellation, it could tarnish their professional record.

Sabrina assured, "I'll expedite the process, but cooperation is key for a successful shoot."

Keilani chuckled and replied, “Certainly, I'm genuinely cooperative.

Though fair warning, I have a bit of a temper. I hope you'll pardon me."

“Now, since we're on the same page about cooperation, I will go straight to the point. The chosen backdrop doesn't complement your attire. It's a bit chaotic and might impact the visual appeal of the photo," Sabrina remarked.

Keilani retorted, "I like this kind of background."

Sabrina found herself momentarily without words as she absorbed Keilani's unwavering stance.

Staring at Keilani's smiling visage, Sabrina grasped that coaxing a change wouldn't be a walk in the park. “Alright, duly noted," she uttered.

“Begin setting up the scene. It'll take a bit," Turning to her assistant, Sabrina directed. "While that's in motion, let's capture shots with alternative backdrops," Sabrina suggested. "This way, we optimize our time, ensuring a smooth shoot. I'm sure you'll appreciate the efficiency."

Reluctantly, Keilani agreed with a hint of mockery in her smile.

The second bout had only just concluded.

Yet, another challenge emerged during the shoot.

Sabrina didn't know whether Keilani did it intentionally. Each time Sabrina issued a pose directive, it was executed poorly, yielding subpar results in the photos.
