"Right Henna! You all set for the photo seission?" Sangita asked.
Henna who busy fixing the spot light answered "yeah!" without looking up. Sangita slipped away knowing full well it was pointless to talk to Henna when she was engrossed in work.
Few minutes later Bunny and Taz came in running. Both of them a little breathless screamed at Henna, "He's here! He is here Henna! And guess what he is wearing a gorgeous black suit and tie...you know one of those ties that you hate so much on him."
Henna smirked, "Well then you two know what you have to do with the tie."
Sangita arrived shortly with Jai Walia, CEO of Walia Group, the dashing bachelor who she had been hounding for months to do a photo spread for the IF magazine. Her lips curved in a smile she walked up to Henna, "Henna Mr Walia is herer, Mr Walia this is Henna one of our senior photographer." Henna looked up and gave a brief smile, "Nice to meet you sir."
Jai Walia looked at Henna, looking more like a young schoolgirl, dressed in jeans, tank and flip flops. How can she be a professional photographer he thought. "Well I am ready whenever you are Henna." Henna pointed at the door on the side, "If you go through that door, you will couple of my staff who will prepare you for the shoot."
"What do you mean prepare me for a shoot?" he asked, looking a little perturbed.
"You need to have your hair and makeup done and wardrobe change for the shoot."
Jai Walia walked through the door to find Bunny and Taz giggling at the counter while playing around with the makeup kit. Taz stopped giggling and nudged Bunny, "Ah, Mr Walia. Take a seat sir." Pulling out a chair Taz pointed at it. Jai Walia sat down gingerly and looked warily at Taz who was eyeing him all over. Taz went to loosen the gaudy pink and blue tie and Jai Walia shot his arm up stopping her. "What are you doing miss?"
Taz laughed, "nothing much sir, we just need to change the tie. Henna has certain shots planned and we have to change the tie." Bunny picked up couple of ties, a black silk tie with thin grey line and a plain navy silk tie. Taz grabbed the black tie and replaced his pink tie. Straightening the collar of the white shirt and jacket of his black Armani suit, she turned him towards the mirror, "What do you think?"
Jai Walia arched his brow, shrugged his shoulders, "It's alright. But I still prefer my pink tie." Bunny who had started to work on his hair, giggled and said, "Too bad sir, for your shoot you have to wear the wardrobe Henna has chosen." She winked at him, "I think the tie goes nicely with your suit sir."
Once hair and makeup were fixed, they took him out into the studio. Henna pointed at the stool under the spot light and the girls sat him down and angled him face and the lights as Henna directed. After clicking away for several minutes, she sent him back for a wardrobe change. Bunny gave him khakee pants and black polo shirt to change into and again another session of pose and photo shots followed.
A final wardrobe change of black designer jeans, black shirt and a dull gold coloured tie. The hair gelled into a more casual style, he looked hot and sexy. Jai Walia grimaced as he never wore anything but suits. But he thought it better than to argue with the giggling girls in front of him who followed Henna's every command seriously. When he can out Henna gave him a lingering look and for once the frowns on her face vanished as she smiled.
A model also wearing black jeans and black tank and high heel boots was waiting to pose with him. Taz and Bunny both glared at the model as she leered at Jai Walia. She pawed Jai Walia more than necessary, pressing herself against him making it obvious she was interested in him. Jai Walia felt uncomfortable with the way the model was behaving. Henna made a sharp remark to the model to stop moving around. Henna walked up to Jai Walia and straightened his tie which he had loosened slightly. Giving the model a warning glance to the model she walked back to her camera. After few minutes of clicking away she dismissed the model not happy with the way the shoot was going.
She had really wanted a shots of him with model and now she was mad at the way the model had messed up the shoot. She looked at Taz and Bunny chatting away in the corner. She beckoned them over and barked, "You two get over on the set with him."
Taz screamed, "No way, you can't make us do this...not in these clothes."
Henna looked at the two dressed in jeans and black tees, there wardrobe whilst working she said, "There is nothing wrong with the way you are dressed, in fact you are dressed just right for this shoot. Now get over there and pose with him. " Taz and Bunny walked slowly over to where Jai Walia was standing and stood looking at him. Henna looked at the two, "come on you two, you know what to do, don't stand there gawking at him. Get moving."
The two of them stepped close to him and posed as Henna directed. Jai Walia noticing how nervous the two of them were said, "Relax girls, I don't bite...I just devour." The remark had the two of them burst into a fit of giggles, whilst Henna stood and glared at them. By the time the shoot finished, they were laughing and joking with Jai Walia and thoroughly enjoyed the posing with him. They didn't care that Henna was mad at them for monopolizing his attention, in fact Jai Walia enjoyed flirting with Taz and Bunny knowing it was making Henna fume.
As he was left Jai Walia walked up to Henna and looked at her mockingly, "Well thank you for make my photo event so enjoyable. Now just one question before I leave. What do you Have against my ties Miss Henna?"
Eyes flashing, Henna snapped, " They are ugly Mr Walia."
