It was pa.s.sed 10 o'clock when they all decided to start shooting. The staff started arranging everything by the beach as the girl went ahead and got changed. 

Everyone eagerly waited for the girl outside as they finalized everything. When they finally saw the girl coming out covered with only a robe on. Her beautiful long legs were soon revealed. 

"Li Zi, are you ready?"

"Yeah."

Elizabeth removed the robe and handed it to Liying revealing her beautiful snow-white skin and perfectly figured body. Everything inch of her body was just too proportioned and nothing was not perfect. As if a master sculpture sculpted her body. 

"d.a.m.n!"

"Wow!"

Even the tourists close by were stunned seeing the girl and soon gathered everyone's attention as they watch from the side what they were doing. 

The photographer realized what was happening and snap back to his senses; he notices everyone has completely been bewitched by the girl's beauty. He understands why the girl was called as the next Lady Zhao. She was indeed stunning and her beauty was on par with the G.o.ddess. 

"Everyone get ready!"

Elizabeth went and positioned herself as the photographer instructed her on what to do. She of course took the initiative to adjust herself according to the photographer's angle. Both of them world harmoniously with each other as they soon finished the first take without any problem. 

"Alright, prepare for the next part."

The photographer announced as he went ahead and double-check with the staff the pictures they took. 

Elizabeth run with Liying back to the cottage they rent for her to change. With the help of the stylist and makeup artist, they were able to change her attire in no time. 

With the girl brand new attire, more and more tourists gathered around to watch the pictorial and even take pictures that they eventually posted online. 

It became a problem when the crowd got bigger and bigger and soon started wis.h.i.+ng for a photo with the girl every time she was on a quick break causing a delay with the flow of things. 

"She sure is amazing."

"Man, this is the first time I've seen so many people gather just to watch a pictorial."

"Who wouldn't want to watch Li Zi, she so beautiful."

The staff gathers around started gossiping with each other. Amongst the guest in the hotel a man smiled seeing how the girl has captured everyone's attention. He tried to search for the girl but could not find her at all and there she was standing...

"Sir..."

The man took a last glance at the girl as he vanished for he was being called already. Despite he was unable to see the girl up close, he was smiling brightly thinking of how amazing she'd become. 

Back on the beach, everyone was pus.h.i.+ng the last take before they all end and take a quick late lunch break.

"Okay, that's it for now." 

A soon as the photographer announced it was time for a break, the crowd hastily one at a time quickly approached the girl asking for a selfie or groupie. Of course, Elizabeth did not deny them of such a simple request. 

After almost taking a selfie with everyone, w.a.n.g Ji quickly went over and rescued the girl. "Excuse me, but Li Zi needs to take a quick break now." (He spoke in English since they are in a foreign country.)

Once they were away from the crowd Elizabeth was finally able to breathe again. "Thanks."

"Sis Li Zi, here's your drink." Liying handed the bottle of lemon cuc.u.mber juice. 

"Thanks, Liying," She replied as she opened the bottle and drank the juice to replenish her thirst for she was under the sun for hours. 

"Li Zi, aren't you going to eat?" w.a.n.g Ji asked, seeing the girl was heading to the poolside. 

"Nope, I'll relax her for a while." She replied, as she looked around for an empty beach chair.

After an hour or so, Liying went ahead and woke the girl up. 

"Sis Li Zi, it's time for us to continue." 

Elizabeth rubs her sleepy eyes, as she stretched her arms in the air. "What time is it?"

"It's almost four, perfect for the sunset cover..." Liying answered as she pointed at the beach and the sun that was about to set.

"Oh-" 

Elizabeth quickly got up and headed back to the cottage to retouch her makeup and change to her last attire. Whilst she was dressing up, she overheard some of the staff talking about the investor came to visit. 

"What the investor is here?" 

"We don't really know, but one of the producers saw him earlier, but he left already." The stylist explained as she continued to curl the girl's hair and attach beautiful flowers around it. 

"Really?"

Elizabeth ponders why the investor came to visit yet did not even bother to show his face to her when she is the model for the magazine. 

'Something does not add up.'

"Alright, you're all set."

Elizabeth checked herself in the mirror and was surprised by her whole transformation. Her curly, wavy hair covered with fresh white flowers completed her new look. She only had light makeup on and was dressed in a simple but charming beach dress. She wore a jasmine white crocheted lace backless maxi dress with a tying open back. 

The more she looked at herself the more she looked like a bride getting married on the beach. As she thought about it, a memory flash all of a sudden which caused her to smile bitterly, 'I used to dream of a beach wedding...'

"Sis Li Zi, you looked like a bride whose about to get married on the beach." Liying boldly declared amazed how the girl looked. 

She too thought she looked like a bride and was curious about why she was dressed like one. But of course, she did not ponder on things for as a model she needs to be professional and not complain no matter what her attire is. 

When the girl walked down to the beach, the staff all turned around to welcome but were all muted and statued on the spot when they gazed at their eyes on her. 

"Li Zi..."

"You..."

Most of them could not finish the words they wish to express towards the girl. She was just so beautiful despite how simple she was dressed. Her beauty made every guy's heart skip a beat...

"Alright places." The photographer shouted, seeing everyone once again was in a daze by the girl's charm.

Elizabeth was totally focused with what she was doing until the staff caught her attention for they all gather in one corner. 

"Li Zi is something wrong?" The photographer asked why her attention was elsewhere. When the photographer turned around to where the girl was looking at, he understood why she was suddenly distracted. "Who's that?"

The man was all dressed up in his casual suit. He wore a baby blue s.h.i.+rt inside paired it with a navy blue blazer and white pants. He was tall and handsome capturing every lady's eye all over him.

"President Stanford, I thought you already left?" The producer hastily went over and greeted the man. 

"I decided to stay for a bit." The young man replied, while his gaze was on the girl standing all froze by the beach. He ignored everyone and went closer to them. 

"President Stanford, this is Mr. Bailey our photographer and our model Miss Li Zi." The producer spoke in such a respectful manner towards the young man. 

"President Stanford, welcome." 

Jayden Stanford ignored the two of them and approached the girl still in a daze from seeing him. His eyes softly gazed at the girl as he spoke in a gentle manner. 

"How are you?"

"What..." 

Elizabeth was unable to finish what she wishes to say, she does not want any connection with him and worries how the staff with think of her. 

"President Stanford, welcome..." She forced a smiled as she greeted the man whilst her heartache seeing the man up close once again. 

Jayden Stanford was not pleased how the girl was addressing him, but he understood why she was acting strangely towards him after what he'd done to her and right now she is using a different ident.i.ty.

"Continue." He said, as he left and went back to where everyone was as the producer followed him. 

As the man turned his back on her, Elizabeth quickly took a few steps away from everyone as she hides her face and clenched her aching heart.

"Why are you here?"

"Li Zi, are you alright?"

Elizabeth force a smile on her face as she turned around to face the photographer, "Yeah, let's continue..."

Even though she said she was fine but deep inside she wasn't. Her feeling and emotion aren't stable right now and seeing the man just worsen everything. 

As she gathers her thoughts, she now realized as to why she was given such privilege and care. 

'What do you want?
