Love's Change of Heart

Chapter 28

Aidan commented rudely, "How did you manage to win with such bad acting? Were the judges from that year blind?"

Aidan commented rudely, "How did you manage to win with such bad acting? Were the judges from that year blind?"

At that point, Daphne was rendered speechless.

He retracted his gaze and looked at the woman beside the stage who was busy with work before he casually placed one hand on the handle of the chair and tapped his fingers.

The term 'new target' seemed strange to be used to refer Leanna. Although he refused to admit it, regardless whether she was his 'new target' or 'past lover', he seemed to find that the title of Mrs. Pearson suited her much better.

As soon as he thought of that, he was slightly frustrated. Why hasn't she begged me for mercy? Is one month actually too long?

On the other end, Leanna was extremely busy with work.

One of the models suddenly fell sick and was hospitalized.

However, there was an issue rising as every model's attire and jewelry length were custom-made to fit each of them. Furthermore, it was about time for the show to start, so it would be practically impossible to now find a model who could catwalk. What more to say, one who would be the perfect fit.

Just as Leanna and the other fashion designers were at a loss for what to do, suddenly a person piped up, "McK, why don't you take the stage? You're about the same shape as that model and regarding your height… You can just put on a pair of high heels."

To that random suggestion, she was slightly dumbfounded. "But then… I've never done a catwalk before."

Another designer replied, "Right now, experience isn't the main issue. It would be good enough for us just to fill that spot. If we screw up this show, we're not the only ones who'll become the laughingstock of the industry; even Lux Jewelry will be ridiculed by everyone."

Leanna kept silent for a moment as she considered the situation. Previously, Lux Jewelry had been embroiled in bad publicity because of her. Although the situation had been defused on time, there were inevitably some consequences to the company.

Not to mention, the show was extremely important to Lux Jewelry and this was evident from how hard each and every single staff member had worked to make this show a success during the entire process.

If this show was ruined, then everyone's efforts would have gone down the drain.

As such, she nodded in agreement. "I'll try my best."

Leanna glanced at the pair of stilettos after having her makeup applied backstage and she felt a wave of nausea hit her. She grabbed a glass of water and took a few sips to suppress the nauseousness as she tried to regulate her breathing.
