To Live Again, For the First Time!
Chapter 35 - Misunderstanding?

"Hey! Hey! Be careful."

"He's a cameraman, he could snap at any moment." The salesperson was laughing at his own joke like it was the funniest thing he had ever heard.

'I just… do I pretend to laugh?'

'Would that be too pretentious?'

'Poker face seemed to be the way to go.'

Emilin was at a loss with how to deal with such a person and so, she just stood there and stared at him.

"Sorry, he's just like that. I'm Mason. Is there something I can help you with Miss?" The cameraman whom the salesperson was talking about came in for the rescue.

"A camera."

'Ice queen?' Mason had to admit that this customer was very beautiful.

Easily comparable to many of the celebrities he had worked with. It was a shame that she wasn't here for a photo shoot. She would have been a great addition to his work portfolio.

"I see. I assume you are new to photography. Do you want to do it professionally or just for fun?"

Emilin pondered a bit before responding.

"Professionally."

"Over here are the cameras you should be looking for. On the right side are the more portable purchases. The left side has heavier accessories depending on your needs."

Emilin nodded at the clear displays.

"Get me what you think to be most suitable for photography during travels."

He seemed much more knowledgeable than herself when it came to these things.

Mason nodded and led Emilin to the display cases.

"Since it looks like you don't have anything yet, you'll first need a suitable camera, lenses, and other accessories. As for traveling, if you want a stand here are the lightest series, you'll barely feel their weight."

Mason continued to explain all the parts and their functions once he noticed that Emilin was not very familiar with them.

He acted much more like a salesman than the actual salesman.

The person who had been ignored could only stare as his eye twitched. 'Why does he seem more professional than me? This is my store, right?'

"Thank you."

Emilin could tell that Mason knew what he was doing, and he seemed trustworthy enough. He wouldn't pick the most expensive products, but rather the ones that he believed worked best for her. Even though it was clear that Emilin didn't care too much for the price.

"Your welcome, you can check out with Logan." Mason pointed at the salesperson whose eyes were a little hazy.

When he heard his name, Logan snapped out of his daze.

"Mason! Why don't you just agree to come work with me? You're obviously better at handling these customers." Logan made a beeline for Mason.

"Yeah, I can tell. You realize that you just ignored your customer, right? And don't even think about trying to bring me into this little molehill. You can't afford me." Mason took a step to the side, dodging the incoming Logan.

Logan seemed to have expected this as he stopped right before bumping into the showcase that Mason had been leaning on.

"One second. I'll get back to you Mason, I have a customer right now."

You really couldn't tell where his cocky tone came from.

Mason apparently didn't work here, but he knew the place well enough. Emilin almost felt bad for him when she saw how determined Logan was.

Logan quickly scanned everything which Emilin had to pay for with her card. She didn't have enough cash to spare in the local currency.

"Here. This is my business card. You can call me if you want to do a photoshoot sometime."

This got Emilin confused. She looked at the platinum-colored card with text written in black print.

The information was simple enough.

[Nosa]

His pseudonym?

Emilin thought it was strange at first since she was clearly a newbie, but since this pie fell from the sky, it would be a shame not to take it.

She thought that he was inviting her to see how a professional photoshoot worked.

"You can call me anytime, my schedule is normally filled so you'll have to call me in advance, but it would be great if we could work together sometime. I work around the globe, so location won't be a problem either. We might even be able to get you to work with some of the more famous international models."

Emilin nodded.

"Sure."

Mason was a little startled by how calmly this girl was acting, but his eyes still shone when he heard that she had agreed.

He was very passionate about his work and so he was happy to work with Emilin… S~ᴇaʀᴄh the n𝘰vᴇl(ꜰ)ire.ɴet website on G𝘰𝘰gle to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"That's great!"

He had thought that his name would be pretty well known among photographers and since this girl wanted to become a photographer, he thought she would know him, but that didn't seem to be the case.

Emilin took a piece of her notebook paper and ripped it off to write her own name and contact number which Mason promptly took.

They bade each other goodbye with satisfied hearts not knowing that this simple exchange would end up creating great waves in the future.

After Emilin left Logan was finally able to ask the question that he had kept in his heart.

"How come you're offering to work with a newbie? She obviously doesn't have any experience in photography yet."

Mason tilted his head in evident confusion.

"What do you mean? Couldn't you tell? She'll make the perfect model!" Mason's expression was that of a child in a candy store.

His hand which grabbed onto his camera was itching a little as it had been a few moments ago as well.

Logan was at a loss.

"Are you sure that that girl agreed to be your model? She's clearly not into modeling! If she were, she would already be world-renowned. It would be impossible for you to not know her."

Mason's eyes widened. He was flabbergasted.

'Since when did this guy actually make sense…'

'Then… was this a misunderstanding?'
