Just then, the manager burst back into the room. “Tatiana, a new model has been included last minute.”
Tatiana gave the manager a puzzled look. Fashion shows typically finalized their models well in advance. “What’s the reason for this change?”
“It’s Sierra!” The manager’s excitement was palpable. “One of Sierra’s designs will be featured in our show!”
Tatiana was taken aback. “Sierra?” She clutched the manager’s arm eagerly. “Really? And who will showcase her design?”
“The decision was already made. I’m not sure who the model is yet, but I have to make sure there’s a spot for her. You might have to relinquish your position as the finale.”
Tatiana felt a sting of displeasure, but she knew she had no choice. After all, it was Sierra, and her design deserved the closing spot. Besides, Sierra’s involvement elevated the prestige of the entire event.
“Okay, I understand,” she conceded with a nod, though her mind raced with curiosity about who Sierra had chosen to model her design. Could it be a top-tier supermodel?
“Tatiana, you are so considerate,” the manager commended with a warm smile. “If you need anything, just call me anytime. I’m leaving now.”
“Okay,” Tatiana replied, returning her focus to her makeup.
As the minutes ticked by, the buzz of the impending fashion show filled the air.
Isabella returned to her seat next to Jared’s. “Boss, everything is set. The audacity of that man, colluding with Tatiana to set your artist up. Just wait, I’ll make sure they pay dearly for this.”
“Okay,” Isabella responded indifferently. She knew retribution was imminent without any need for his direct involvement.
The host stepped onto the stage. “Welcome to our fashion show, a collaborative spectacle brought to you by several distinguished brands. As the main organizer of the event, Aria Fashion has prepared a delightful surprise for you all. I promise it will be worth the wait. Please, stay tuned!”
After the customary pleasantries, the show officially began. Models strutted across the stage, adorned in various stunning outfits, while the audience snapped photos and whispered amongst themselves.
Jared watched the parade of designs with a detached air; his familiarity with Sierra’s exceptional creations had rendered him somewhat jaded to less impressive works. As the show neared its conclusion, no outfit had truly stood out, a sentiment evidently shared by Isabella, judging by her unperturbed demeanor. Tatiana was the second to last to appear.
The audience gasped in surprise. “Isn’t Tatiana the last one?”
“The dress Tatiana’s wearing is absolutely unique. It’s truly stunning.”
“I love it, but how much does it cost?”
Around the venue, many praised the elegance and uniqueness of the dress Tatiana wore, clearly captivated by the design.
After her walk, Tatiana retreated backstage with a satisfied smile, positioning herself where she could still see the stage. She was eager to discover who would have the honor of showcasing Sierra’s design. Who would be so lucky?
The host reappeared, reigniting the audience’s excitement. “As I hinted earlier, this fashion show has a special surprise in store for you. You’re probably wondering who the designer behind our final model’s outfit is. It’s someone well-known, someone you all are familiar with. Take a guess!”
“Rick!” someone shouted.
“Sherry!” another guessed.
“Is it Sierra?” a soft voice speculated.
But as the words hung in the air, another quickly countered, “Does Sierra’s clothing really need a fashion show for promotion?”
No one responded to that remark, for it held a grain of truth. Fashion shows were indeed platforms for publicity, yet Sierra’s designs were renowned enough to thrive without such exposure.
The host’s smile held a hint of mystery as he announced, “Then, let’s welcome our model to the stage!”
With that, he stepped down, making way for the next model to emerge.
From her vantage point backstage, Tatiana caught her first glimpse of the model stepping out from the opposite side. Her initial reaction was one of sheer astonishment at the garment—the creation of Sierra was breathtakingly beautiful. The gown radiated nobility and elegance, its perfect color and cut a feast for the eyes.
But then, Tatiana realized who was wearing the gown. Her eyes widened in disbelief. She must be hallucinating. However, it was unmistakably Maxine who strutted onto the stage, instantly capturing the rapt attention of the audience.
The guests were completely enthralled by the exquisite gown. One of them could not help but exclaim, “It’s a feast for the eyes! My God, this is stunning!”
“Yes, it’s absolutely breathtaking. The style of this dress looks so familiar!”
“It’s Sierra’s signature style! I recognize her work anywhere—this is definitely one of her creations,” someone shouted excitedly from the crowd.
The venue buzzed with excitement. If this was indeed Sierra’s design, then their attendance was well worth it! Cameras flashed incessantly from every angle offstage, capturing every moment.
“This model is stunning too, but why haven’t I seen her before?”
“That’s because she’s not a model—she’s an actress, Maxine. I’ve seen her TV show, and it’s really good.”
“Really? Anyone chosen by Sierra must be exceptional.”
The perception of Maxine shifted in the eyes of everyone present.
When Maxine was asked to make a surprise appearance at the end of the show, she was utterly stunned. Although Isabella had promised to help her, Maxine had not anticipated that Isabella would wield such influence. She had no idea whose design she was wearing, only that it was gorgeous. When she overheard the crowd whispering Sierra’s name, Maxine was so shocked she nearly fainted.
Of course, she knew who Sierra was. But how could she ever be worthy of wearing one of Sierra’s designs? Even the biggest names in the industry might not get such an opportunity!
Despite her mind racing with a whirlwind of thoughts, Maxine maintained a serene smile and glided gracefully through the crowd.
The host then took the stage, his voice booming through the venue. “I’m sure everyone has guessed who designed this masterpiece. Yes, it’s Sierra!”
“Oh my God! I knew it from the start! Only Sierra could create something this stunning!”
“It’s absolutely beautiful! Sierra has unveiled a new creation!”
“I love it so much! I wonder how much it costs—I want to buy it!”
The excitement in the venue was palpable, filling every corner with a buzz of enthusiastic chatter.
Meanwhile, the manager from Aria Fashion broke into a cold sweat, his forehead glistening under the lights. He hadn’t anticipated that Sierra’s chosen model would be Maxine, which led him to ponder the nature of their connection.
The other collaborating brands didn’t hesitate to express their gratitude to the manager.
“You’re amazing! You actually got Sierra to be here!”
“Man, I knew you were the real deal. We’re so fortunate to have our pieces showcased alongside Sierra’s.”
“You knew Sierra and didn’t tell us? Are we still friends?”
However, the manager from Aria Fashion couldn’t quite share their enthusiasm, as he realized he might have unintentionally offended Maxine.
Meanwhile, the host handed the microphone to Maxine. “Maxine, could you please introduce this outfit to us?”
Having received a script in advance, courtesy of Isabella, Maxine followed it to present the outfit, capturing everyone’s attention. She glanced at Isabella with a look of deep gratitude.
The piece she was adorned in was indeed Sierra’s work, and Isabella had shown her incredible kindness. Now, more determined than ever, Maxine was ready to seize this opportunity to outshine Tatiana. Her resolve hardened with each passing moment.
In the audience, the manager from Aria Fashion felt a wave of relief wash over him. Even if he had inadvertently offended Maxine, the showcase of Sierra’s design at this prestigious fashion show was sure to amend any oversight. This event was poised to capture national attention. A thrill of excitement pulsed through him.
Then, Maxine dropped a bombshell that sent ripples through the crowd. “It was actually by chance that I ended up wearing this design by Sierra. Originally, I was supposed to wear a dress from Aria Fashion, but just before I went on stage, my assistant discovered that the dress was damaged.”
The revelation caused a stir among the guests, who turned their surprised glances towards the manager from Aria Fashion. Under their scrutiny, he began to sweat, unprepared for Maxine’s candid disclosure. He made a desperate gesture, trying to signal Maxine to halt her revelation, but she pressed on, undeterred.
“Both the representative from Aria Fashion and Tatiana were there when it happened. I expected help, but instead, they blamed me for the damage. Despite my innocence, they insisted it was my responsibility and demanded I pay for the damages. I was really disappointed—I never imagined that the fashion show I had put so much effort into would unfold like this.”
The boldness of Maxine directly naming the Aria Fashion representative and Tatiana left everyone in shock. “How could they do that? Oh my God! I’m starting to think they broke the dress on purpose.”
“I heard Tatiana and Maxine don’t get along. There’s definitely more to this story.”
“Even if the dress was damaged, it wasn’t Maxine’s fault. Was that really necessary? I had a high opinion of Aria Fashion because they invited Sierra, but now I’m not so sure.”
The murmurs in the crowd began to coalesce into a consensus: Maxine had been mistreated, and many speculated that Sierra’s decision to let her wear one of her designs was a show of support.
Everyone in the venue, especially those who appreciated fashion or worked in the industry, quickly sided with Maxine, sensing her strong connection with Sierra.
Hidden backstage, Tatiana was seething with rage. She never expected Maxine to so boldly expose her. She glared toward the stage where Maxine spoke, her eyes burning with a silent fury, wishing she could silence her. Determined to exact retribution, Tatiana made up her mind to teach Maxine a lesson she wouldn’t forget.
