Painting Images With Light
The Part 15
Although Bagio was sitting next to Yuri in the middle passenger seat, as it turned out that there was a special driver driving the vehicle, there was not much that they could talk about on the way.
Yuri just gave a picture of the outline to Bagio, about how the system works in the modeling agency, which invites Bagio to work together in it.
However, of all the explanations Yuri only a small part of it, can be understood by Bagio well.
Yuri also gives Bagio a little praise, because of Bagio who with his age is too late, but can still attract the attention of the agency owner.
According to Yuri, to become a model, it usually starts from a very young age.
In fact, some have started taking modeling classes, since the age has not reached ten years.
Thus, Bagio almost even 23 years in a matter of days ahead, certainly considered as a fortune, which not just anyone can get the same opportunity like him.
After a journey that took approximately 3 hours, they arrived at a tall building that read SM Management, on the front.
Without lingering any longer, Bagio brought Yuri into the building, up into the elevator and Yuri pressed the number 18 button.
It was quite surprising for Bagio, when he saw the situation inside the building that was supposed to be an office.
Because even though it was dark outside the night, but the busyness of the people in the building, as if not affected by time.
There are still many people passing by in the building, and look busy with their respective work.
And, among the people inside, Bagio could see some people who were extra tall, who were more or less similar to Bagio's posture, compared to other people who were there.
But, the average tall people who can be seen by Bagio, looks like people who are sick and malnourished.
With a very thin body, until as if only bones wrapped in skin, until their faces look sunken.
To the extent that, so thinly, the surrounding blackened and sunken eyes, made the men appear as if they were glaring, as they looked towards Bagio.
"You get in there!" Yuri pointed to one of the glass doors just like the wall that surrounded her. "My job is done. You will be taken care of by someone else. Nice to meet you."
Yuri still took the time to shake hands with Bagio, before he left Bagio in front of the door of the room he had directed earlier, so that Bagio would enter into it.
"Toks! ... Haus! ... Geck!" Bagio then knocked on the door of the room, and remained standing waiting until he was allowed to enter.
"Yes! Just enter!"
After hearing the voice from the inside of the room, Bagio opened the door, and rushed into it.
"Excuse me!" bagio.
Seen inside there, a middle-aged, cross-faced woman, with a classier appearance when compared to Yuri, was standing in front of the table holding a few sheets of paper.
The woman then looked at Bagio, from the tip of her hair to the tip of her foot, with a full glance.
Bagio finally realized, if he is now, despite wearing a shirt and pants material, but he only wore flip-flops as his footwear.
"Please sit!" the woman said, then went to sit on the chair behind the table. "What's your name?"
"Thank you! My name is Cahyo Bagio." Soon Bagio mentioned his name, after he sat down on the chair facing the middle-aged woman's desk.
"Hm ... Oh, aye! I just remembered. You were suggested by Karenina. Your face feels familiar" said the woman.
"Yes," answered Bagio briefly.
"Just relax, there's no need to be too rigid" Sally said. "What has Yuri explained, about what if working under the management of this agency?"
"Said Yuri earlier, he only explained the outline. So, if I want to know everything in detail, I can read it on the employment contract sheet only," said Bagio.
"Hm ... That kid—Yuri—always doesn't want to talk much." Sally seemed to shake her head.
Sally then picked up the phone handle on her desk, then looked like she was contacting someone there.
Bagio did not pay attention well to what Sally was talking about on the phone, until Sally stopped talking and put the phone handle back into place.
"Wait a minute!" Sally then again looked busy looking at the sheet of paper, which she had released onto the table earlier, when Bagio came.
"Toks! ... Haus! ... Geck!" Not how long Bagio waited, then a knocking sound was heard on the door of the room.
"Lake in!" sally said, without taking her eyes off the sheet of paper in her hand, and only raised her face when the person who knocked on the door came in and greeted her.
"Madam!" said a man who resembled Yuri, who was now standing near Sally's desk.
"Cahyo can go with him. He's the one who's going to help explain everything" Sally said.
"Good, Mom!" sahut Bagio while standing. "I'll excuse you!" Bagio then caught up with the man Sally had directed at him, for him to follow, after Sally Harper nodded her head.
Immediately after passing the door, the man then invited Bagio to go to one of the rooms, and handed him a sheet of paper inscribed with the contract agreement, while explaining the contents.
From what Bagio read, he will not be able to work directly, but must be quarantined for approximately one month, while learning many things about modeling.
Working hours that are likely to be erratic, must be understood by Bagio, because all the work that will be done later, depending on the request from the client.
A one-year futures contract, with a percentage of the income regulated by the agency, is clearly written on the paper.
It's not just about income.
There is also a penalty for management losses that must be replaced by Bagio, if Bagio cancels the contract unilaterally, or if Bagio refuses work that has been arranged by the agency.
"If you agree to this contract, you can sign it there." The man pointed to the very bottom of the last sheet of paper.
Without any hesitation, Bagio then apply his paraphrase in the part that has been provided for him, on the paper of the contract agreement.
"OKay! I will keep this contract."
The man who had been with Bagio in the room, then put the map containing the sheet of paper into a file cabinet.
"Welcome to SM Management!" said the man, extending his right hand, and shook hands with Bagio there.
"Come with me!" take the man again, then walk, until out of the front door of the building, even to the parking lot. "You can get in this car that'll take you to quarantine"
"good. Thank you, for everything," said Bagio, and rushed into the car.
"Together" said the man, then turned and went away from there, while the car that Bagio was riding in also passed away from the parking lot of the building.
