Chapter 555 Intimate Posture
This bothered Neera.
Why are there so many misunderstandings this evening?
She was ready to decline, but Jean replied calmly, “Let’s do it. How much do you charge for a photo?”
The photographer’s eyes lit up, and he exclaimed, “Oh! It’s quite affordable! 500 dollars for a photo!”
Neera was dumbstruck.
500 dollars for just one picture?! This is a rip-off! Photo-taking services at scenic locations typically cost between fifty and one hundred dollars at most. Even tourist spots don’t charge this much.
As she was about to object, Jean stepped in and said, Hmm, that sounds reasonable. Let’s proceed.”
Neera was in disbelief.
Reasonable?
She glanced at Jean, thinking she was staring at an unlucky fool.
The photographer was surprised to meet a generous customer. He widened his eyes in disbelief, as if he were staring at someone to take advantage of.
“Well, are we doing this or what? Jean asked with a hint of impatience.
The photographer quickly came to his senses.
“Of course!” he exclaimed, rubbing his hands together. “If the picture doesn’t turn out well, it’s on the house!”

Neera raised an eyebrow and reminded him, “Remember your promise.”
He nodded repeatedly, barely able to contain his grin. He looked around and pointed to the right.
‘Come with me; stand over here. We’ll get the background of the fireworks over the ocean. It’s the perfect setting!”
Both followed his lead, walking shoulder to shoulder, and then positioned themselves for the shot.
As the photographer aimed his lens at them, he paused, taking in the image on his screen with an odd look.
Tilting his head, he commented, “Hey, guys. Your posture is too stiff! You need to loosen up.”
Neera didn’t understand the fuss. She questioned, “What’s the issue? Can’t we just stand like this?”
The photographer raised an eyebrow at her query. He responded, “It’s not about that, but aren’t you two a couple? You should be closer. The distance between you two seems more suitable for acquaintances. You appear to be two political leaders posing for an official photograph. The only thing missing is an official caption!”
Both Jean and Neera were speechless.
Neera blushed. She retorted, “Is there some rule that dictates couples must be close and affectionate in pictures?”
The photographer shot her an odd look and pointed to their surroundings.
“Do we really need a rule? Take a look around. Is there another couple standing as far away as you two?”
Neera took a look around and noticed that every other couple was either embracing or holding hands. None
stood out like them.
She choked on her words. Her cheeks turned redder. Embarrassed, she whispered to Jean, Maybe we should forget this?”
Jean lowered his gaze to meet hers. He noticed her embarrassment. A glint of amusement flashed through his
eyes.
Then he wrapped his arm around her shoulders, drawing her close to him.
Neera was startled. She met his playful gaze when she looked up.
“She’s shy,” Jean said slowly to the photographer. “Can we take it this way?”
Lub dub, lub dub, lub dub.
Her heart was pounding loudly and rapidly, as if it were about to leap out of her chest.
The photographer was satisfied. He said, “Yeah, that’s more like it! Come on, look at the camera. You need to smile!”
Coincidentally, fireworks began to erupt behind them.
The photographer pressed the shutter and captured the moment. He continued to photograph them for the next thirty minutes without pausing.
