Filed To Story: Returning to Her Not-So-Poor Family
On stage, the number 11 designer did her walk. The president of the Women’s Wear Association, Tess, picked up the mic and criticized, “As for your waist–cinching dress, the waist is only as wide as a palm. You must be uncomfortable right now, right?”
Designer number 11 couldn’t hold back and nodded. She admitted it was indeed too tight!
“This could easily lead to poor blood circulation. In severe cases, it could even cause rib fractures.”
Some audience members laughed when Tess said this.
Tess seriously said, “Don’t think I’m joking. A while ago, an actress was sent to the hospital right after leaving the red carpet. She had actually fractured her ribs. I advise you to take it off now. When designing in the future, be mindful of the sizing.”
After designer number 11 left, designer number 12 took the stage. After her walk, a lot of the audience had to cover their eyes,
The judges were also somewhat speechless. “Actually, before you even took the stage, I noticed your piece. The off–shoulder puff sleeves, cinched waist, and lots of pearls sewn onto the dress, it has a fairy–like feel. But after you put it on.”
This gorgeous dress, the zipper at the back, could only be pulled up halfway.
“The dress you’ve designed has a slim cut. Only very thin models can wear it.”
After she put it on, she looked bulky.
“As a designer, you can’t just chase after glamour and ignore the practicalities. Also, your pearl necklace doesn’t look good. It makes your neck look thick.”
“Next up, let’s welcome contestant number 16!”
As the host’s voice ended, Mirabella gracefully took to the stage.
She wore a long, rose–embroidered white gown and a beautiful crown. Her dignified and elegant appearance immediately/captured the attention of everyone present. She was like a princess stepping out from a castle, noble without being cliché, exuding high class and aristocratic temperament.
“She’s so beautiful!”
“She’s even prettier than celebrities!”
“She’s like a fairy. Not only is the dress beautiful, but she is too!”
“Is she assistant to designer number 16? I’ll remember her! I have to find her and sign her as a celebrity!”
“Oh my god, Mirabella?” The president of the Fashion Designers Association of Solterra, Flora, almost spat out her water when she saw her. She couldn’t believe her eyes. She rubbed her eyes and looked again. It was her!
This big shot in the design world was actually participating in this small competition and as an assistant.
Was it just because she missed this important figure, or was this important figure, having been in high places for too long, bored and wanting to experience the life of ordinary people?
“Do you know her?” Hans asked from beside her.
Flora suddenly realized she had blurted out her name and hastily explained, “No, I don’t know her.”
“But you know her name.”
Faced with Hans‘ questioning, Flora didn’t dare to hide any longer, considering his high status.
She couldn’t afford to offend him!
“I’ll tell you, but don’t spread it around.” Flora gestured for Hans to come closer and whispered, “This girl is the head of QY, their creative designer. Everyone calls her Queen Abby, but her real name is Mirabella! I reckon she might be here for a slice of real life.”
Otherwise, why the heck would she be an assistant?
Queen Abby?
His sister had another name, Queen Abby.
Hans was taken aback. So, QY was established by his little sis?
No wonder those 3D embroideries were so exquisite and quickly done.
“A top–notch beauty like her, I wouldn’t mistake!” Flora said, looking at the document, “Is she an employee of the Collins family? How much dough did you guys fork out to get her? She’s just an assistant, she must be making a cool billion a month, right?”
Hans stayed silent.
“Definitely not less than a billion, that’s chump change to her.”
So, the $2.5 million clover necklace he bought, in her eyes, was just cheap stuff.
At this point, he felt a bit of a whirlwind inside.
Mirabella did a lap on the stage, and just as Flora was about to comment, Hans beat her to the punch with the mic.
“Are you Mirabella?”
Mirabella looked towards the source of the voice; the man was handsome, and his voice was a deep and friendly hum.
“Yes.”
“I’m Hans. Nice to meet you.”
The moment his words fell, everyone was gobsmacked.
Hans was the usually aloof and quiet CEO. Was he actually chatting with the girl on the stage?
Mirabella was also a bit surprised. Was he a judge today??
“I’m here for you.”
When these words came out from Hans, the audience was once again in uproar.
Was he really here for her? Was he smitten?
Wasn’t he known to be quite ascetic?
Even though Mirabella was a stunner with a great aura, she was just a lowly assistant.
Wasn’t this gap a bit too big?
“Your performance today was stellar, exceeded my expectations.” Hans didn’t expect that she not only managed the company but also founded QY. Despite being a designer, she was willing to be an assistant to help the juniors.
This kind of magnanimity and vision was not something a common person could match.
Incomparable beauty, Mirabella said, “Thank you.”
“I’m really looking forward to your next performance.” Hans gave her full marks straight up!!
The audience was shaken!!
Mirabella was the first one to score a perfect score from Hans!
She was just too awesome.
All the other judges also gave her full marks.
The audience went crazy giving her full marks, too. Even if they weren’t looking at her designs, they had to acknowledge her top–notch beauty.
That face of hers, giving it full marks, was an understatement!
She deserved a million points!
The score on the screen kept increasing until it finally stopped.
“Two thousand and fifty points, full marks!” the host couldn’t believe his eyes, “Two hundred audience members, each can give a maximum of ten points, plus the five judges.”
This meant that everyone gave Mirabella full marks!
This was the first time in history!
The whole field erupted with thunderous applause that lasted for a long time.
Mirabella looked calm, only slightly bowing before she left:–
In the rest area.
Molly jumped up happily, hugging Mirabella tightly.
“Bella, you’re amazing! Without your beauty, this design might not have got full marks. This is great. We can advance smoothly now!!”
Yolanda clenched her fist in anger at the side. What’s she so smug about!?
Without Mirabella’s beautiful face, how could Hans have noticed her?
The other judges gave full marks because of Hans!
Unsurprisingly, the audience blindly followed suit and gave full marks!
Myra was even more furious, throwing everything from the table to the floor, storming out of the rest area.
The four designers followed her nervously, being careful not to upset her.
Seeing them like this, Molly felt even happier. She whispered, “Bella, is Hans in love with you? He said in front of so many people just now that he came for you, and he looks forward to your performance.”
Although Mirabella didn’t want to say, considering Molly was her friend, she said faintly, “Actually, my name is Mirabella Collins.”
“So you’re Mirabella!” Molly realized something. Her eyes widened.
