“I need it for an emergency.” Leah answered as she left without looking back.
She went back to her dressing room. Emma, who stood up for Leah earlier had a sad expression on her face.
A glint of hope flashed across Emma’s face as soon as she saw Leah. “You’re finally back.”
“Yeah.” Leah nodded.
Emma was about to cry, and she did not dare to stand up. “What am I supposed to do, stylist? The show is about to start and I can’t go out like this…”
Leah glanced at her dress upon hearing those words.
Emma was done with her makeup half an hour ago. She was going to wear the dress that was about to be shown during Fashion Week and was ready for Leah to match her jewelry.
As it turned out, there was a giant hole in the dress when she received it!
Her face was flushed pale.
All of the designers put all their efforts into designing the clothes to win.
Emma told Leah about the situation.
Leah placed her hand on her chin and pondered. “All of the costumes are kept confidential. Only the designer’s assistants are allowed to handle them. No one should be able to lay their hands on the costumes. Tell me, when was the dress ruined?”
Emma looked at Leah’s serious expression, then analyzed. “Could it be that… the dress was ruined by accident when the assistant took it out and placed it in the dressing room?”
Leah glanced at her, she thought that Emma was too innocent.
She had spent two years abroad and had already seen all kinds of sabotage.
The dress was extravagant, how could someone ruin it by accident?
However, Leah did not tell Emma about her thoughts. Instead, she picked up the dress and said, “Perhaps there’s still another way to fix this.”
Emma looked confused, then sighed, “How can it be fixed? The dress is ruined until the designers fix it.”
Leah shook her head and continued, “Wait for me.” After that, she rushed out to look for Serena.
Serena carried needles and thread with her. She even had a full set of equipment. After lending it to Leah, she then took Emma into the dressing room.
“Please keep this a secret.” Leah ordered as she threaded the needle on the dress.
Emma was stunned when she saw her skillful techniques, then stammered, “Are… we even allowed to do this, Miss?”
“At least it’s better than nothing.” Leah replied, “Otherwise, would you rather go out there with this torn dress?”
Emma went silent.
…
Fashion Week kicked off soon enough. Many people were looking forward to it as it was the first show. Many people attended the event.
There was a man in a black suit among them, he had a dark expression. He sat in the VIP seat and his appearance was incredibly obvious.
His presence made everyone around him look over.
His expression grew darker when he noticed them.
Ben, who was sitting next to him noticed his gloomy expression.
He wiped the sweat off his forehead and said, “Please hold on for just a while, Mr. Howard. We’ll find Cindy once the show is over. It’ll be a good thing for our jewelry company if we manage to convince her to join us. ”
Han heard his words and replied coldly, “She’s just a designer, why don’t you negotiate with her.”
“No, sir.” Ben answered without hesitation. “I’ve heard that Cindy had always been mysterious. I’m afraid she might be upset if I negotiated with her.”
“Does it have to be her? What about the rest?” Han asked in a displeasing manner.
The Howard Group had been growing stronger for the past two years and was incredibly powerful in Linkville.
Moreover, he was working together with Jackson, who played a major role in politics. He had so much authority, he had the whole world in his hands.
With this much authority, Han was arrogant.
“Please be patient, Mr. Howard, Cindy is one of the most popular designers right now and is highly praised by experts and amateurs. As long as we can work with her, she’ll be an incredibly valuable asset to us.”
As soon as Han heard those words, his lips trembled and stopped talking. He got up and fixed his tie, then said, “I’m going to the bathroom.”
Han went outside and heaved a sigh of relief. He felt relieved when he got out of the crowd.
He took a deep breath and took out a pack of cigarettes from his suit. He lit up a cigarette and began to take a puff.
Han’s vision got a little blurry.
He could not stop thinking about the lady he saw a few days ago.
Although he only saw a glimpse of her, he felt that she looked familiar.
His heart had been cold and numb for the past two years. He did not expect that the woman would make his heart waver.
Han narrowed his eyes and grinned sarcastically.
Han saw a car parked at the entrance of the exhibition.
Ian got out of the car soon after and saw Han. He was stunned for a moment.
Han glanced at him, and a feeling of doubt arose in him.
The Sanders family and the White family merged their companies two years ago. Eventually, Ian gave up on studying medicine and inherited the family’s properties. He carried the burden of both families all by himself.
He managed both of the companies well for the past two years.
Han acknowledged Ian, not because of his ability. It was because he was still far behind Ian despite being powerful.
He thought about what happened two years ago.
Han fainted because he was incredibly depressed, and Leah was no longer there when he woke up.
Eventually, he searched everywhere for her. However, he was told that Leah had gone abroad. He had Hobson’s choice but to look for Ian.
Ian said to him calmly, “Leah is dead.”
Han was about to faint upon hearing those words.
He grabbed Ian by his collar and gritted his teeth. “Then what about her body? I need to see her, dead or alive.”
“Her body? Who are you to look at her body? She’s my fiancée, even if she died, she’s still a part of the Sanders family. This has nothing to do with you, Han.”
Han could feel Ian’s cold words ringing in his ears and remembered how he felt at that time.
He felt furious and despair.
