Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2576Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2576
After pondering, Joan could only remind the photographer to be extremely careful and thorough.
The matter became rather complicated. If Joan refused their request, she would have indirectly
offended Abelyn and gave her clients the impression that the staff at the studio cheated. On the
contrary, if she accepted the task, it might also lead to other adverse consequences. After
contemplating, Joan decided to go with the latter as it appeared to have a higher possibility for
rectification.
“You must be extra careful, got it? Our reputation is at stake.” Joan patted the photographer on the
shoulder.
“Don’t worry, Ms. Watts,” he replied.
However, Joan was not at ease for some reason.
The clients interchanged various poses while the photographer carried out his task professionally. Joan
remained outside the studio and monitored their every move closely, just in case something untoward
would happen.
“Go take a rest, Ms. Watts, I’ll keep an eye on them,” Faye insisted.
“It’s okay.” Joan waved her hand to signal that it was not necessary.
After what seemed like forever, the shooting had finally ended and the group left the place.
“How was it? Show me the pictures, quick.” Joan hurried over and stared at the screen.Phew, thank God there wasn’t much issue. This photographer isn’t as bad as I think he is, he’s just new
and inexperienced.
“Hmm… Not bad, at least much better than the last shoot,” the supervisor said with a smug.
“Thank you.”
The supervisor was the most picky person at the studio. She was a perfectionist who could not tolerate
the slightest imperfection. Upon hearing her compliments, Joan heaved a sigh of relief, thinking the
work done had passed the required expectation.
“Are they really okay?” Joan wanted to get another confirmation.
“Yup, it’s fine. Don’t worry, Ms. Watts, he’s done well this time,” the supervisor assured Joan.
That’s great! Joan felt as if a burden off her shoulders.
Everyone thought that there would be no hiccups as long as the photographer had snapped some good
pictures. It never crossed their mind that some things could be controlled without their knowledge.
The next day…
“Ms. Watts, hurry up and read the news!”
“Calm down, what is it?” Joan was typing away on her computer.
“Go read the newspaper now!” Faye repeated. The situation was too urgent for her to care about
hierarchy and courtesy.
Joan picked up the newspaper on her desk and skimmed through the pages. Suddenly, a catchy
headline caught her attention.Staff at a photography studio collectively defraud clients…
Joan was flabbergasted.
Since when did we become scammers? Lifting her head, she stared at Faye, completely baffled.
“This was reported by the few clients who came here the other day. Their video clips have also gone
viral on the Internet,” informed Faye as she passed her phone to Joan.
“Yes, their photography skills are horrible and how dare they charged us for a remarkably high price!”
“They are a bunch of fraudsters!”
noveldramaIn the video clip, each of Abelyn’s friends was very worked up and they spoke with hatred against all
staff at the studio.
“Ms. Watts, I think it’s better you give Ms. Chipman a call,” reminded Faye.
Without further ado, Joan whipped her phone out and made the dreaded call.
“Sorry, the number you’ve dialed is unavailable…”
At that instance, Joan froze on the sofa with a blank face.
“What should we do now, Ms. Watts?”
“I don’t know,” she answered helplessly.
Faye had tried to contact the clients beforehand but none of them picked up any of her calls. In fact,
she found out that the addresses written in their records were all fake.
This isn’t a matter about money, but integrity!If we lose our credibility as a photography studio, it will be a big problem for us to survive in this
industry. We’ll only face more difficulties and challenges ahead.
