Begging For A Reconciliation

Chapter 116

Han watched as Ian get out of the car calmly. Then, he put out the cigarette in his hand expressionlessly.

Ian saw Han as well. Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

Their eyes met and there was a thick atmosphere between them.

Tension arose in Ian’s heart at the same time.

Although Han did not know, he was incredibly sure that Leah was participating in Fashion Week.

Ian greeted Han with a nod.

Han could not ignore him since the both of them had to communicate at the venue eventually.

However, Han seemed to be calm. He threw away the cigarette butt and turned away coldly.

The catwalk had already started in the venue.

Becky had finally found a well-known jeweler to style her jewelry. She heaved a sigh of relief although it was neither Cindy nor Serena who styled it for her,

She had to win the championship no matter what. She wanted to slap both of the women across the face.

Becky’s turn was before Emma. She was wearing a long vintage dress with jewelry. She held her head high and walked out with confidence.

She managed to gather a round of applause in just a minute.

The judges were also nodding.

Becky grinned sarcastically as she passed by Emma.

Becky took notice of which models were participating in Fashion Week through her cousin. Among all of them, she wanted to win against Emma the most.

Both of them used to go to the same university. During their time there, they were often compared by others. They also participated in the university’s beauty contest together.

Becky lost to Emma at that time.

Becky had to regain her pride to make up for the shame she felt three years ago.

Once Becky was done with her catwalk, it was now Emma’s turn. She clenched her palm nervously and thought about her dress. She became even more nervous.

“Relax, don’t be nervous. What happened is in the past now. Don’t worry about the dress, and face everything with confidence.” Leah patted Emma on her shoulder and comforted her after seeing her this nervous.

Emma glanced at Leah and asked, “Is this okay, Miss?”

Leah nodded and answered, “Butterflies are the main element of your dress. It shouldn’t be a problem. Now, go on.”

Music played and drums could be heard.

Emma took a deep breath and summoned up her courage. She held her dress up and walked out to the beat of the drum confidently.

She caught everyone’s attention as soon as she appeared.

Her dress was designed by a rookie designer. The combinations of colors were bold and bright. With Emma’s charming face, they complement each other.

“Look at her waist, the embroidery looks quite rough.”

“It’s part of the design. It’s inspired by butterflies. There’s even a peony embroidered on the waist. The designer’s concept is good.”

“Yes, even her jewelry matches her dress. People might think that she’s a butterfly princess.”

“This isn’t bad. The dress is noticeable to everyone. I’ve never seen such a bold and harmonious design before.

“Yeah, it feels refreshing.”

The judges showed their admiration.

Some people even speculated. “Could Cindy be appointed as her stylist? She’s mysterious. I heard that she was also invited to this event. I want to meet her in person.”

Another person asked, “Cindy? I think I remember her. Are you a fan?”

“I admire her a lot. How can there be such a talented jewelry designer.”

“…”

Emma’s palms were sweating when she got off the stage.

Even so, she walked through the audience confidently.

Leah patted Emma on her shoulder and praised, “You did great.”

Emma smiled coyly as soon as she heard her praise. Then asked gratefully, “Thank you, Miss. Can I ask for your name? I just want to thank you properly.”

“It’s my pleasure.” Leah shook her head and answered with a grin. “I’m Cindy.”

Emma’s eyes widened instantly.

She looked at the woman in front of her in disbelief. This confident and stunning woman was Cindy.

Was she lucky?

“Uhm… Miss Cindy, I… I… I’ve been admiring you for a long time.” Emma was so excited she could not speak properly.

Leah smiled gently and said, “Well, thank you for your support. I’m heading to the bathroom.” Leah left after that.

Leah had been praised by many people while she was in Melville for two years. Her confidence grew and became more cheerful over the past two years. She realized that she can be liked by others.

Leah was about to leave the bathroom when she heard a voice coming from the cubicle next to her, She halted.

It was Becky’s voice.

“Someone fixed that woman’s dress, what am I supposed to do now, sis?”

Upon hearing those words, Leah raised her eyebrows and grinned sarcastically.

She took out her phone and started recording.

“I tore the dress as you told me to. There was an emergency so I didn’t put a large tear in her dress because I thought it was enough.”

“What should I do, sis? I must win against her!”

“Alright, thanks, sis.” Becky walked out of her cubicle after she was done talking.

Leah listened to the recording of Becky on repeat and smiled sarcastically.

Although she had seen this kind of dirty trick numerous times, she had never been involved in one.

After the competition was over, she would hand it over to the organizer.

…

Three days of Fashion Week went by in a flash.

Fashion week had been broadcasted live on the Internet. Many viewers also participated in the discussion. The most discussed topics were “What does Cindy look like?” and “Emma’s outfit”

The results of the competition were announced in the afternoon on the third day.

The number of people attending the event was more than before. This was because all of the designers would be making a public appearance,

It might also be Cindy’s first public appearance, which attracted a lot of attention from the public.

“Mr. Howard, over here.” The staff led Han to the VIP seat.

Han sat down impatiently.

The award ceremony started shortly. All of the models were invited to the stage. The host did not waste any more time and announced everyone’s score because of the tight schedule.
