“I’ll look for her outside. You guys rest for a while. Try to be in your best condition for the show.”
“Okay, Miss Patton,” the artists answered in unison.
After giving them a few more instructions, Isabella left the dressing room. Soon, she met Milly outside.
“Milly, you’re back. Where have you been?”
Isabella walked over to Milly, who immediately handed her a phone. Isabella took it, only to see a video on the screen. She looked at Milly in surprise before clicking the play button.
In the video, a man sat on a stool, trembling all over as he confessed, “I’m the deputy director of the production department at Orly Company. I snuck into Timeless Elegance’s dressing room before the show to sabotage the models’ outfits. Only by doing this can we ensure Orly Company’s victory.”
Isabella’s brows furrowed tightly, and her expression turned cold.
Orly Company had already caused trouble during the promotional shoot.
How dare they plan to disrupt their show this time! The thought of this infuriated Isabella.
She looked at Milly, feeling relieved. “Milly, it’s a good thing you caught this man in time. Thank you. Leave the rest to me. I’ll handle it.”
“Okay.”
Milly nodded, having intended to hand the situation over to Isabella anyway. It was just timely that she met Isabella now.
“I tied him up in the storage room, and that phone is his,” Milly added.
Isabella nodded. “I understand.”
Milly returned to the dressing room as if nothing had happened. Isabella, on the other hand, decided to check other areas for any overlooked issues, worrying that Orly Company might have sent more than one person to cause trouble. She still held the man’s phone in her hand.
Fortunately, everything went on smoothly, and no problems arose during the entire preparation. It was only then that Isabella had the time to deal with the man in the storage room.
Since Orly Company dared to plot against Timeless Elegance, there was no reason for Timeless Elegance not to retaliate. Otherwise, they’d be seen as pushovers.
Isabella turned around and headed to the control room where the main screen was being controlled.
Twenty minutes later, the entrance to the venue was closed. The lights in the venue dimmed, and conversations hushed to murmurs. Then, a gentle melody began to play, reminding everyone that the show was about to begin.
Isabella returned to her seat, found Lina’s social media account on the man’s phone, and sent a message.
Once the message was sent successfully, Lina immediately checked her phone. Then, she gave Tatiana a triumphant smile.
Isabella watched the scene unfold, realizing that Tatiana was also involved. Her gaze remained detached and cold as she observed the PMR.
Just as Lina averted her eyes, they accidentally met Isabella’s. There was something in Isabella’s stare that ominously hinted at impending doom. However, the recent message Lina had received brought her a wave of relief, reinforcing her belief that Orly Company would ultimately triumph in the competition, no matter how the collaboration between Timeless Elegance and Marcus turned out.
Redirecting her attention to the runway, Lina awaited the grand entrance of their models with bated breath.
“Isabella, what has captured your attention?” Elaine inquired, her voice laced with concern, noticing Isabella’s frosty demeanor after she took her seat. Isabella preferred to shield Elaine from unnecessary worries. She offered a faint smile.
“It’s nothing significant, Mom. Let’s just watch the show.” Isabella skillfully steered the conversation away.
“It feels like forever since I was at a Timeless Elegance show. I’m quite excited,” Elaine remarked, her eyes sparkling with anticipation.
“Me too,” Isabella replied.
While Lina’s eyes remained fixed on the runway, the image of Isabella’s penetrating gaze lingered in her mind. From the corner of her eye, Lina noticed Isabella and Elaine engaging in light conversation and laughter, seemingly oblivious to any underlying scheme, which momentarily eased her concerns.
Perhaps her apprehensions were just a figment of her imagination.
Isabella and Elaine could enjoy their laughter for now; soon, the situation would take a turn.
As the music transitioned and the lights shifted, the host ushered in the beginning of the shows.
From opposite ends of the runway, two tall, striking male models made their entrance, one of whom was Waylon. The audience had already put on the emotion sensors provided at their seats.
As it was a competition between two fashion houses, cutting-edge technology had been implemented to ensure a fair outcome while preserving the artistic integrity of the experience. These devices were designed to capture and quantify the emotional reactions of the spectators with precision.
As models clad in the apparel of the competing brands paraded past, the sensors embedded in their garments triggered the audience’s emotion sensors, instantly recording their responses.
At the conclusion of the event, the backstage team would analyze the data to determine which brand elicited the strongest emotional connection, thereby declaring the winner.
Lina had meticulously reviewed Ailyn’s designs and found them exceptional; however, Timeless Elegance had been a staple in the fashion scene in Ansport for years, a true mark of its enduring appeal.
With the renowned designer Marcus involved, Lina was on high alert for any mishaps, prompting her and Tatiana to craft a meticulous plan.
The recent blunder with Timeless Elegance’s promotional shoot had slightly marred Orly Company’s reputation.
This time, learning from her past errors, Lina secured through Global Entertainment a colorless, odorless spray. Once applied to fabric, this invisible spray interacted with the dyes under the runway lights, causing garments to look blotched and yellow-stained, yet it remained undetectable to testing agencies.
The deputy director of the production department had already confirmed that Timeless Elegance’s male models’ outfits were treated.
Timeless Elegance’s garments were known for their durability and resistance to fading. Any visible deterioration during the showcase would certainly disappoint the public and could lead to an outcry.
In stark contrast, Orly Company’s clothing seemed destined for an easy triumph.
As Lina watched Waylon step into the spotlight from the shadows, a sly smile played on her lips. The sight of his outfit stirred a mix of astonishment, envy, and relief within her. Her smile widened. She hadn’t expected that Luka’s nephew would be the first to face the humiliation. It was an unexpectedly delightful twist.
Indeed, the creations by Timeless Elegance were nothing short of spectacular. Luckily, Lina hadn’t solely depended on Ailyn’s designs.
Lina watched intently, counting the seconds, eagerly waiting for Waylon to step into the bright lights, expecting his attire to fade. However, as her countdown reached its end, Waylon had already gracefully moved across the stage, and the scene Lina had so eagerly anticipated failed to unfold.
“What’s going on?” Lina muttered to herself, puzzled.
Instead of fading, Waylon’s outfit retained its vibrant hues under the spotlight, and, thanks to its exquisite fabric and impeccable tailoring, it shimmered with even greater brilliance. The ensemble highlighted Waylon’s captivating presence, instantly establishing him as the show’s unparalleled star.
Thump, thump, thump…
The sound of countless heartbeats resonated through the venue, each one swiftly captured and converted into data by the emotion sensors.
While the model in Orly Company’s attire also looked impressive, the outfit somehow lacked the enchanting elegance that Timeless Elegance’s exuded.
Set against such formidable competition, the emotional response to Orly Company’s garment was noticeably muted.
Lina was utterly flabbergasted, her eyes widening in disbelief.
“How could this happen?” she murmured under her breath.
She had meticulously tested the spray she handed to the deputy director on different fabrics. It was designed to make the garment fade unless the garment hadn’t been treated at all.
Could the deputy director have overlooked one?
A ripple of panic coursed through her as she spun around, her gaze darting anxiously to the models queuing up backstage. Surely, even if the deputy director had been careless, he couldn’t have neglected more than one outfit. If the rest showed the expected changes, they could still salvage this.
However, the next male model emerged, also impeccably attired and exuding effortless confidence. Then came the third, followed by the fourth… interspersed with the stunning female models. Each masterpiece from Timeless Elegance sent the audience’s emotions soaring to breathtaking heights.
Granted, Orly Company’s designs were visually appealing on their own. But this wasn’t the result Lina and Tatiana had envisioned.
Tatiana’s sharp glare bored into Lina, demanding answers without uttering a word.
Yet Lina herself was paralyzed with confusion, helplessly watching as their brand was overshadowed by Timeless Elegance. Frustration boiled inside her; she wanted to scream. Snatching her phone, she desperately tried to contact the deputy director. But no matter how many times she dialed, there was no response.
Beside them, Ailyn sat silently, her elegant jaw clenched as she watched the models pacing back and forth. She had poured her heart into crafting Orly Company’s collection, especially the last few designs she had been particularly proud of.
Initially, she had considered debuting such exquisite work at a small event in Lorpond beneath her, but she’d handed them over to Orly Company to secure a victory. Unexpectedly, the outfits from Timeless Elegance proved to be equally impressive.
They carried an intangible, captivating quality and style that Ailyn couldn’t quite define. It was something she had never encountered before.
Ailyn couldn’t put her finger on it, but the people of Lorpond, captivated by the local cultural essence woven into Timeless Elegance, were immediately set ablaze with passion. They felt an instinctive bond to the name Timeless Elegance.
