Lust Contracts 18+ Hunting for Love with My Three Contract Husbands

54 Hot and Cold Superstar

I smiled professional and the Mega-X brand team members introduced themselves to us. At that moment, EROS got out of the car and came to stand by my side.

“I’m EROS. It’s an honor to work as the face of your brand for this season. I am looking forward to working with everyone,” EROS said kindly before beaming his superstar smile at everyone.

The man standing next to me right now was clearly EROS in professional mode. He was friendly, humble, professional, and extremely charismatic. He was nothing like the taciturn man with the dark and depressing aura from before. It was like he had changed into a completely different person from the moment that he got out of the car.

“Umm...W-We look forward to working with you too!” the head of the Mega-X team managed to say after stammering a couple of times.

I guess EROS does have that impact on people. We were led inside the studio before EROS, Mark and I were led to EROS’s dressing room.

“They’ll dress him up for the shoot. We don’t have to do anything. Just act pleasant and professional and watch. The director should come in to brief EROS before the shoot starts,” Mark quickly explained to me.

The dressing room was quite large considering that only one man was getting dressed up. Racks of clothes, accessories and shoes were lined up. I wondered how long it would take for EROS to get through modelling all of those. The hairdresser and makeup artist got to work on EROS at once after they exchanged a brief introduction.

I knew that EROS had a very attractive and beautiful face before but seeing the makeup artist worked on him, made me even more aware of how attractive he looks. His skin is so naturally flawless that a girl would get jealous of it. His natural blond hair looks soft and shiny as the hairdresser started styling it to match the theme of the shoot.

There were a few knocks on the door and a middle-aged man came in. He must be the director. Mark and I got up from where we were seated and greeted him immediately.

.....

“Director Howard, it’s an honor to work with you again,” Mark said politely.

“Me too. I love working with EROS,” the director replied before his eyes fell on me.

“I’m Elena. I’m EROS’s assistant manager. It’s a pleasure to meet you,” I introduced myself before smiling at him.

“Wow...for a moment I thought we had another model on set!” Howard said before he laughed loudly.

I pretended that I was slightly shy at his comment because that was probably the reaction that he wanted to see. Honestly, being told that I looked like a model wasn’t something new for me and I could live without any more unnecessary attention.

The director pulled up a chair and sat next to EROS as he started briefing EROS on what he had to do during the photoshoot. It didn’t take that long before the director was done, and he left. The photoshoot started sooner after when EROS was dressed and ready to do.

“I’ll head there first with the team. Elena, you come along with EROS when he’s done,” Mark instructed before leaving the room.

Suddenly, it was just me EROS and the stylist left in the dressing room. I watched as the stylish adjusted EROS’s outfit and added the final touches.

“We’re done. All good to go. Just head to the shooting area when you’re ready,” the stylist told EROS before turning to smile at me.

“Thank you...” I said to him politely as I bowed a little.

The stylist was out the door before I could say anymore and just like that EROS and I were the only ones left in the dressing room. I should get him to move to the shooting area before things get awkward between us.

“EROS...if you’re ready we should...” I began saying before trailing off.

EROS got up from his seat and headed straight for me. His golden eyes seemed to glow as he stared directly at me. It was the first time today that he looked directly at me. Instinctively, I took a few steps back until my back hit the wall.

“Don’t get in my way. Just stand aside and don’t get in anyone’s way,” EROS said coldly.

Shocked at his direct words, I didn’t know what to say so I just nodded. EROS walked out the dressing room without saying anything more. I let out a long sigh before I collected myself and started walking after him to the shooting area. It wasn’t like I ever intended to get in anyone’s way.

I wasn’t a pro, but I could tell that EROS was extremely good at what he was doing. He also changed outfits very quickly. EROS followed the direction of the director and added in his own pose very smoothly that the shoot progressed well ahead of schedule. The director was thrilled at the photos that he was getting, and the photographer complimented EROS non-stop while he shot the photos.

I did exactly as EROS told me to. I stood idly by to the side as I watched him work. Everyone seemed to have something to do except for me. It wasn’t like a contract girlfriend had any role to play here. On top of that, no one here apart from the manager and EROS knew what I was really hired for. Mark spoke to the director as they both watched the photos on the screen of the monitor.

“Last outfit! Good job, EROS. Just one more set and we can wrap up,” the director said while clapping his hands together.

Glancing at my watch, I could tell that we were around 20 minutes ahead of schedule thanks to how effectively EROS and the team worked. Mark came over to my side and together we continued to watch EROS posing in front of the camera.

“He’s good, isn’t he?” Mark commented.

“Yes...” I replied in short.

“He can be very strict when it comes to work because he’s very committed and professional about it. Don’t let it get to your head, ok?” Mark said comfortingly.

I wondered if he could tell that I was feeling a little down from what EROS had said. That coupled with the fact that I felt so useless and out of place here.

“Of course...” I replied vaguely.
