Chapter 257 The Unexpected Model Show
Chapter 257 The Unexpected Model Show
Seeing these lines, Morris’ face instantly changed as he snapped the book shut and threw it straight
into the trash.
And then, getting up, he went to his desk and began to continue his work.
Time passed until he was busy until 3pm and he still hadn't received Vivian's message on his phone.
He was despondent, leaning back in his chair, twirling the signature pen in his hand, his gaze again
involuntarily sweeping over to the trash.
Hesitantly, he got up, walked over to the trash and picked the book up.
It was good to see that there was no rubbish in the trash and the book remained clean and dust free.
He turned the title page and continued on.
......
Vivian knew nothing of what was happening over here.
Having finished all the things at hand, she was free, and only then did she remember the message that
Morris had sent her at that moment.
Then she picked up her phone and sent a text message to Morris: [I was busy in the morning, I didn't
notice your message].
Not long after the message was sent, a message came through: [There is a new French restaurant that
tastes good, would you like to join me for dinner tonight?]
Vivian could naturally feel his 'enthusiasm' at Morris’ invitation, but still politely declined, [Yara has
asked me to attend a jewellery exhibition in the evening].
Vivian didn't even know what to do when Morris tried so hard to get close to her.
After this message was sent, she did not get any further reply.
At 5.30pm, Yara appeared at the entrance of the wedding company on time.
Vivian went downstairs, got into Yara's car, and set off straight to the jewellery fair.
As it was a major jewellery show held in L City, there were a number of jewellery companies competing
for the best exhibits to have the opportunity to participate in this jewellery show.
When she arrived at the jewellery exhibition venue, many people were already seated, Vivian was
about to find a seat, but Yara was pulling her to the backstage, "Come on, let's go backstage and have
a look."
"What's the point of going backstage?" Vivian was confused.
"Come and you will know."
Yara tugged her by the arm and went backstage.
A number of people gathered later, including models wearing jewellery on display, staff, and some
designers, including make-up and costume artists for the models.
Walking through the crowd, Yara then found her friend, "Hi, Ivana, how are the preparations going?"
Yara greeted her friend, but a woman with short dyed grey hair and an anxious face, "Ugh, I'm so
worried, one of the models just broke her foot and can't walk at all. The jewellery show is starting soon,
where can I find someone else?"
"What? How come?" Yara wrinkled her brows in surprise, and after thinking about it, she added, "Don't
they have any temporary models? You can pay more money to find one."
Ivana clapped her hands together and sighed in exasperation, "Now it's not a question of money, even
if I give 100,000, I can't find a model at this moment."
As Vivian listened to the conversation between Yara and Ivana, her beautiful eyes blinked and she
thought for a while before suddenly asking, "A model walks a show for 100,000?"
"Thirty thousand plus." Ivana had found one of the better models, so a show appearance cost over Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.
thirty thousand, then she said, "That model's foot was swollen, and she's just been taken to hospital."
At that moment, a voice rang out backstage, "Attention, all companies, the jewellery show will now
begin. Please get ready as the models enter in turn."
The organizers of the jewellery show urged, which made Ivana grew anxiety, "What can we do? That
model could be the grand finale, she's a celebrity in L City."
"Fifty thousand, I'll do it!"
Vivian suddenly spoke up.
As the words fell, Yara and Ivana both looked over with incredulous faces, "You can do it?"
Yara tugged on Vivian, "Although 50,000 is a good pay, you can't fool around. This is a jewellery show,
if you mess up, Ivana will lose her job."
"I ...... try my best." Vivian did not have any extra explanation, only the phrase 'I try my best'.
Ivana looked Vivian up and down and only then did he notice her identity, and thought that these days,
Vivian was constantly on the news in L City and was a little bit of a celebrity.
It would have been nice if she had been the one to exhibit her jewellery show.
After thinking it over, Ivana looked at Vivian and said, "I can allow you to walk the show, but you have to
follow what I say."
It didn't matter if she could do the model walk, what matter was that the gimmick must be enough.
"What do you want me to do?" Vivian asked Ivana, the designer and head of the project.
The two men stood and conferred together.
After finalising everything, Yara couldn't wait to go to the lobby and find one of the seats reserved in the
front row and sit down.
It was only then that she realized that across the room were sitting Morris and Mike.
They came too.
As the music played, one by one the models came out, each wearing jewellery with an aura of
sophistication.
And at this time, Vivian, who was backstage, had already changed her clothes and was sitting in front
of the dressing table wearing her jewellery items, but when she looked at the mirror in front of her, she
actually saw a person suddenly appear behind her.
Sue!
"Heh, Vivian?"
As the head of Figge Jewellery, Sue naturally came over today, but never expected to meet Vivian
backstage.
She snorted and looked at Ivana, "This is the model your company hired? With her, how can you
compete with me? Gimmick?"
A sarcastic attitude, with a disdainful look in her eyes.
"Alas, our model was injured and we have to find someone to help out temporarily. This is my friend."
Ivana did not confront Sue head on, after all, Sue was the eldest daughter of the Stewart Group, not
someone their company could just offend.
"Ivana, you're really fooling around." Sue shook her head, looking at Vivian.
Vivian looked at Sue in the mirror and immediately felt hostility, but didn't think much of it, just assumed
Sue was disgusted with her.
With Sue gone, Ivana immediately calmed Vivian, "It's okay that you can't walk as model, as long as
you can walk down and then remember all that I've explained to you."
"No problem." Vivian responded.
She sat backstage for a while, waiting for the models from the previous companies to finish one by one,
and then for the designers to introduce the inspiration and concept of the jewellery pieces, which took
twenty minutes.
And then, backstage, Ivana's name was called out for their company's models to get ready to go on
stage.
In the hall of the jewellery exhibition, Morris was sitting in the best seat on the catwalk, and beside him
sat Arlo and Philip, who happened to come to the jewellery exhibition today, so they met directly.
After sitting for a while, Philip then saw Yara sitting across from her, and then said to Morris, "Morris,
don't you see that the opposite side is Vivian's good friend? If she's here, does that mean Vivian is here
too?"
