Chapter 144 - 144: Meeting The Guests 1
While the couple were sharing their intimate moment on stage, two people decided to start making their move.
Everyone gave the couple a thunderous round of applause and even cheered for them to kiss. The couple granted everyone's request which made the crowd squeal in excitement.
As the sweet performance came to its end, the couple decided that it's time to greet the few guests and say hi to the students.
Grabbing the glass of gin and her fruit juice from their table the couple decided to walk towards the crowd.
Mid-way, Mo Jing-sheng together with his wife Kelly approached them.
"We really wanted to stay but Kelly should rest early." Mo Jing-sheng started to explain.
"Darling, I want to stay. I told you we're good." Kelly stubbornly protested.
"Kel, be good. I'm glad that you're here to witness this. I know you wish to see this until the end but Kel, for the sake of my little nephew...listen to your husband okay?" Kim Eunji patiently explained.
"I promise, as soon as I got the permission to go out, I'll go and visit you." Kim Eunji promised.
"Please do. I miss you already." Kelly sobbed.
"Aw! Come here." Kim Eunji gave Kelly a warm hug.
Though still reluctant to leave, Kelly had no choice but to go. Her condition had been on and off.
She was almost not able to make it tonight. Good thing her blood pressure and morning sickness were better and there was no bleeding for the past couple of days so, her doctor gave her the clearance to go.
Kim Eunji waved her hand as she watched the Mo couple leave.
Nathan with his arm wrapped around Kim Eunji's slender waist, lead her to their first table.
They were Kim Eunji's photography team.
Everyone who was a great fan of the modeling industry knew these group of people. They were well-known internationally as EL's dream team.
Aside from Alice who were seldom seen with them as she usually was left in their studio doing paper works unless necessary, these people were seen with EL whenever she attended photoshoots. Therefore, they had gotten the spotlight as well.
Everyone thought that with their leader announcing her retirement from the industry months ago, they would no longer see them again. But here they were attending an event inside Imperial University.
Therefore the students were curious as to what they were doing here. Well, they knew that Alice was their teammates but they hadn't seen Alice with them. In fact, the latter had left the venue earlier and they didn't see her coming and greeting them.
"EJ!" The guy named Magnus greeted Kim Eunji when they reached their table.
He wanted to give her a warm hug but became hesitant when he saw how possessive Nathan had secured his arms around her body.
However, Kim Eunji removed Nathan's arms around her waist to give the guy a friendly side hug.
Nathan whom was a bit displeased by her action, decided to give his wife the space she needed.
Magnus who was caught off-guard then turned his attention to Nathan as he didn't want to offend such intimidating and overbearing man.
"Thanks for being here! I'm really surprised to see the whole team present in my wedding!" Kim Eunji happily said.
Of course she didn't forget to thank the person responsible for making everything possible. "I bet this is all thanks to you?"
Nathan who was still gloomy just looked at his wife who was smiling sweetly at him. But her sweet smile then turned into pout when he didn't show any reaction at all.
Kim Eunji knew she had to console him so she snaked his arm around his nape and pulled him closer to give him soft kisses.
"Don't be upset. They're my people. I've gotten close to them over the time that I've worked with them...close enough that they treated me as their family. I would be so mean if I would treat them indifferently just because they were no longer working for me now. You invited them over so I guess you knew how important they are to me." Kim Eunji tried her best to explain her point as gentle as she could.
She understood him very well. Though he would not snap just because of some trivial things but she knew Nathan could be easily angered and when it comes to her.
Though Nathan remained silent, she knew that she was successful in making him understood her point. She touched his face gently and continued, "Be good."
Nathan could only nod back at her and let her do her thing. Call his actions earlier as childish but that is how he is when it comes to Kim Eunji.
He would never be ashamed to admit that he wanted all of her attention only for himself.
"I'm so sorry if I meet you guys this late." Kim Eunji warmly expressed her gratitude for them while hugging them one by one.
"It's okay EJ, we understand." The group unanimously expressed as they didn't want Kim Eunji to feel bad.
"So, are you guys all staying or will be coming back to the states and come back again some time after?" Kim Eunji asked them.
Though she said she had already arranged something for them, with everything that was happening she had become so busy.
"Well, we decided to go as planned. We'll go back to the US and settle all of our affairs there before moving here." Julie, the second female member of the team answered for them. She was in charge on post-producing the photos Kim Eunji had taken on magazine shoots. She basically worked with the client's team when working on projects with them.
"Oh...that would be good. So where are you guys staying?" She asked them.
"Well, Mr. Bai arranged us to stay in one of the luxury hotels nearby." Julie answered.
Kim Eunji sighed in relief.
"I'm sorry if I won't be able to accompany you all during your stay here. I can't go out yet. School rules you know." Kim Eunji explained their situation to them.
"No worries. We understand the situation. Mr. Bai was generous enough to explain the situation for us." Julie who had taken the role as the spokesperson of the team answered her.
"Thanks hubby." Kim Eunji thanked Nathan for that.
"EJ! Oh my! You look beautiful in your dress!" The guy wearing a blue suit with rose patch on its lapel joined in and happily greeted her and gave her a warm hug.
He even corrected his first statement as he continued, "No, you look fantastic tonight! I'm totally jealous that I wasn't the first person who had the opportunity to put your beautiful face into frame."
His name was Lex. He's her assistant photographer. He was using the toilet that's why he was away when Kim Eunji and Nathan arrived.
"Hahahha. I'm sorry about that, Lex." Kim Eunji suddenly felt the need to apologize to him.
Well, his very wish was to put her beauty in his frames but Kim Eunji was so firm to not have any photos of her taken.
Kim Eunji wanted to console him so she decided to let him do his ultimate wish.
"Okay, you can take a photo of me tonight. I won't mind. As you can see, there's no media nor photographer in the crowd." Kim Eunji tried her best to make it up to him.
"I can't. They confiscated all of our mobile devices and my camera." Lex replied in a sad tone.
Well, everyone's camera were confiscated minutes before Kim Eunji arrived in the venue. So there's no one with malicious intent could illegally took photos of this night's affair. Nathan had made such arrangements to protect their privacy.
"Well, then use mine." Kim Eunji then handed her as she continued, "I'll give you the credits once I place it in my photobook."
"It would be such an honor!" Lex took the camera and didn't waste any second and took photos of Kim Eunji.
Then, Nathan asked him to take their official wedding photo together. Of course Lex was even delighted.
The couple stand in front of the screen where their names were being displayed as Mr. and Mrs. then made their pose.
Lex took a couple of more shots before he got satisfied.
Well, he was more than satisfied as these two looked good on camera. It was very addicting to put them together in one frame.
"Okay!" After taking like fifty of different shots, he finally wrapped it up.
"Mr. Bai! Tha-nk you for inviting us... It's such a great honor to witness such beautiful wedding ceremony." Magnus who had just recovered from nervousness managed to express his gratitude but could not stop himself to not stammer when talking to Nathan.
"No worries. I knew my wife would want the rest of her team to be here." Nathan gave his simple answer to him.
Kim Eunji then focused his attention to Claire who was standing beside Magnus.
"Hi. How have you been?" Kim Eunji decided to initiate the conversation with Claire.
"I'm good. Thank you for having us. This is such a beautiful event. I'm glad that I got the chance to be here and witness this." The latter sincerely replied.
