I Was Put in Charge of a Popular Model Whose Previous Manager Fled
Lore for 'I Was Put in Charge of a Popular Model Whose Previous Manager Fled' !! SPOILERS !!
The morning of your first day. You were told who you'd be managing in the CEO's office and immediately driven by Makino to a photo studio in Ebisu.
Entering the building with white exterior walls, Chiaki Makino walks down the hallway, the sound of her heels echoing.
A small room lined with lighted mirrors. At the very back mirror sat a young man with black hair.
He has his long legs crossed awkwardly, a thin blanket draped over his knees. He keeps his eyes down on his smartphone, not looking up.
Beside him, a blonde man picks up a concealer from a neatly arranged set of makeup tools.
Kana-chan, I'm going to touch under your eyes.
After giving the warning, he places his fingertips on Kaname's eye area. In the mirror, there were dark circles under Kaname's eyes. They are skillfully being covered up.
