The lights on the stage dimmed, while the lights on the catwalk shone dazzlingly.
Fashion models started to file in on the catwalk; there were endless camera flashes around, photographing them.
Cordy was watching the fashion show with utmost seriousness, since Maron never disappointed as a world famous designer.
The fashion models were world-famous as well, so much that even someone like Cora wouldn’t shine if she took to the catwalk.
However, she was still one of the nation's elites; thus, her appearance at the scene naturally drew much media attention.
In fact, there was a slight unrest when she stepped out.
Jay arrived just then and sat down next to Bob, who held his arm and asked, "What kept you?"
"The flight was delayed." Jay panted slightly.
"You're just in time—Cora's up." Bob gestured at the catwalk.
Jay nodded in acknowledgement, and Bob asked, "She said she'll be filming a movie with you next month?"
"Yeah," Jay replied. "Shooting’s going to take a couple months, and it's due for release in spring. Most of the scenes will be taken in North City."
"That's good," Bob said.
Jay didn’t elaborate, and turned his attention to the catwalk.
Jay was attending the fashion show since he had helped Maron with one of his commercials in Zidonia, something Maron was very happy about. They had since made each other's acquaintance, which was whow he got invited to the fashion show.
While Jay wasn’t particularly extroverted, he wasn’t one who said no easily. When faced with a friendly gesture, he couldn’t bring himself to reject it. Thus, he attended the fashion show despite his busy schedule.
Bob paused for a moment before saying, "I just ran into Cordy backstage. She's sitting up front."
Jay turned towards her, and found Cordy sitting in the first row.
