"All the shots are amazing, Nina. As always." Chris shook his head with a smile, leaning back in his chair as he looked up from his laptop to the young woman.

Nina grinned, "The models this time were nice. Unlike last time," She cringed, "Bloody knobs they were."

Chris laughed, wrinkles by his eyes as he looked at the woman he watched grow through her skill. "You know you're a talented photographer, Nina. You should really seek-"

"Come on, Chris," She chuckled, rolling her eyes, "Are you trying to get rid of me, old man?"

Chris rolled his eyes jokingly at her, "Oh stop it. You know I never want that. Why do you think this agency is still going strong?"

"Because you're one hell of a businessman?" Nina raised an eyebrow.

"That, and," He chuckled, "The big shoots are always your job. You have a skill, kid."

"I'm 24, Chris. I'm not a kid." She stood up, shrugging on her crossbag.

"I've known you since you were 16. I think you still are a kid," He teased her, "Just let me put a good word in for you for few of my people."
