Love,Love?Love!-{ Dropped }

" MM we are going for enraged victorian, show a little bit more rage "

In front of Lou and his camera, was one of the applicants in a peach Victorian dress, swinging a sledgehammer at a computer like she was playing croquet. They had themed their shoot as 'The Past playing with the future '

One of the shoots was the Victorian dressed models getting pushed on office chairs, that they had located in a nearby skip. A few of the extra applicant's stood by the side in their office wear, throwing dirt and fallen leaves into the air to make the photos look more dynamic, catching the attention of the passerbyers and the odd jogger.

Luo clapped his hand bringing the attention of the group towards him

" Okay" guys that was the last shot!... It's been a wild four hours so thank you all for your patience" The group clapped and hollered after he spoke.

" Woop!finally "

" I can get out of this dress! Never again "

" Hey Luo, what about printing, did IK find anything?" { A/N I'm too lazy to name side characters }

" It's all good, HT said IK found an internet cafe a few minutes away, they will use it to do the edits and TY is currently hunting down a print shop, he'll text IK when's he's found one "

" I never thought we'd get this one done "

" Cheers Luo "

Luo waved his hand at the group " It was a group effort guys, plus it's not over yet" everyone dispersed to their stations as he handed the camera to IK, who headed away while Luo went to help the models return the outfits.

…...

Luo walked into a red labeled old shop around 20 minutes away from Yovuge, that was selling century clothing with clothing covers strapped over his arched arm.

" Hey, boss, I've come to bring these back " He found the shop owner conversing over the phone, he could only wait in front of the counter, trying to avoid the people walking around the jam packed two storey building.

The white haired owner finished his call, beaming a smile at Luo, dragging him over the counter into a tight hug " I should be calling you boss, I've already had 15 online sales in the last 30 minutes and this place is packed, you're a miracle worker! " He patted Lou's back as he let him go.

" It's the least I can do… you let us borrow these clothes for free " He exchanged a few pleasantries with the owner before squeezing his way out and making his way back to the hall.

" Hey, they look really good" He returned back in the hall as the group had finished laying down prints across the tables, while a small group were practising their speech in the corner.

He quickly approached the group after hearing one of the speakers stumbling "Hey man, remember take your time, they are your audience, their not going anywhere" he gave the speakers a thumbs up.

...

" Alright right guys, presentation time, I'm very surprised and happy to see all of you made the deadline " The presentation occured as the examiner and the group of assistants looked at each print one by one, occasionally all nodding with small whispers while the presentation team talked and explained as they traversed along.

The examiner and the assistants formed a small huddle in the corner of the room, after the presentation, leaving the applicants to stand in the middle of the room with their nerves.

" You think we passed?" One of the applicants asked Luo, while he sat down on a desk.

" Yeh, I'm pretty sure " Luo replied with a cheeky smile, looking towards the huddle.

The examiner cleared her throat after coming back from the group huddle

" For the first time in a while, there won't be a need for the final test, me and the department heads would really love to talk to you all, one on one, straight away." as she said nodding to the group of 'assistants' standing behind her with large smiles.

'This is not bad ' Lou let out a breath of air, he sat in front of the examiner and behind her was a woman dressed in a pink cardigan with brown grey streaked hair.

He took a moment to observe the room that was full of plants and wood detailing on the walls.

The examiner coughed capturing Lou's attention to her light brown eyes, she flicked back her long dark hair over her shoulders " Your resume is pretty impressive especially the work experience, fisherman, Aerospace Engineering, Bank manager, baker, CGO, designer and even an animal carer. You have had quite the career Mr Aslan, I would say you are ridiculously over-qualified for the role, so you've got me curious, why did you apply for the photographer position out of all of the ones available?"

Luo cleared his throat and rubbed the back of his neck " Well I was helping the animals one day, I looked over the mountain's to see the sun rising and from then on, I just knew… that I wanted to capture moments like that in some form... so I did a little bit of research on how to achieve that and ended up doing course on photography while making my portfolio" He pointed his finger to the portfolio folder that was being flipped over by the pink cardigan woman.

" Well I am definitely a big fan of your work, you're very good at capturing dynamic movement, it's almost like time has frozen in the moment, especially this flowing dress" The woman pointed to an image of a woman in a red dress with the trail spread wide in the air due to the wind in crystal clear detail.

"Thank you, I like that one too, I think I used a Sigma for that one"

The examiner furrowed her eyebrows together as she took another look at Luo's CV " This is not an interview question but do you have any relation to Aslan&Partners?"

The photography department head's, face was one of disbelief and blurted out " as in Aslan of FoodZtuff? Aslan of LivennaMiller?, the very chairs we are sitting on? '' The photography head pointed to her seat " I am such a big fan, me and my husband have one of your shelf organizers at home."

Lou looked at her with a smile " thank you again, I'm really glad you like your stuff so much, it always great to meet a fan"

The examiner clicked her tongue with a slight head tilt " I'm sorry but I've met your brother and you look nothing alike "

Luo laughed and pointed to his beard and thick bushy black hair " It's the hair and the eyes, our mother said it was the eyes that separated us."

The photography head interjected "Are you sure you want to be a photographer, I'm happy to have you as the department head and I can be under you...I mean work under you"

Luo blushed at her words " The photographer position is fine for me " after he finished speaking the department head looked a bit saddened but turned around quickly with a smile.

She stood and stretched out her hand " You're hired! my department would be happy to have you"

"I'll be in your care" Luo shook her hand followed by her running out of the room with his folder.

He looked at the examiner and they broke into a laugh " I'm terribly sorry about that Mr Aslan, that's not how it usually goes here please be assured but welcome to the company, I hope you enjoy your time here Mr Aslan."

" I'm sure I will"
