A Moment in Destiny novel Chapter 55

“Hmm, actually Mr. Rowland had been very good to me!” Sherry said. He was willing to entrust such an important event for her to do in order to train her but at great risk to himself. If something were to go wrong, then William's loss would be immense.

 

“Only a gracious woman like you would be repeatedly bullied!” Susan laughed. “Okay, go and rest. I will inform you when the directors come”

 

“Okay!” She wasn't able to convince Susan so Sherry went to take a nap.

 

She didn’t go to that villa these couple of days. That person also didn’t contact her but the driver would go to pick her up after work every day but Sherry never accepted the ride.

 

At six o'clock in the evening.

 

The lights, the stage, the workers had arrived but the models team was short of one model because of a last-minute incident. That model sprained her ankle and was unable to turn up.

 

Susan glared at the person in charge of the model agency, “Mr. Aziz, don’t you know that this will affect our fashion show? Why didn’t you have some standby models? Is that all the models your agency has?”

 

Perhaps her voice was too loud and it woke Sherry up. She sprung up to her feet and looked at Susan talking to the person from the model agency.

 

“Ms. Gill, this is the start of the Winter season and there are two fashion event launches in A City right now. All our models had been assigned”

 

“I don't care, if you cause any delay to our event, you will be responsible for all the losses!”

 

“Ms. Gill, this was an accident! We also didn't wish for it to happen. Why can't we do it with one less model?”

 

“Mister, it will affect the look of our launch. The positions of the models had been determined and rehearsed. Now how are we going to let them rehearse again?”

 

“Susan, what's the matter?” Sherry heard part of it and felt the seriousness of the situation, “Is it very serious?”

 

“Tina sprained her ankle and they don't have a replacement. All their models had been assigned. We're short of one model!” Susan sought perfection in whatever she did.

 

Sherry also became anxious when she heard of this, “I'll call and ask other model agencies and see if they can send a model over!”

 

“Ms. Murray, you don't need to call. They're all out. All the models in K city had been deployed. Our agency is the largest in the city and we don't even have enough models. The problem is all the launch events are happening at the same time across the country!”

 

“Then what should we do?” Sherry's hand started to tremble.

 

Susan frowned and looked at Sherry who pursed her lips tightly and suddenly her eyes lit up, “Sherry, why don’t you do it!”

 

“What?” Sherry was shocked, “Me? How can I? I'm only 1.63m and not tall enough!”

 

“Sherry! You are very suitable for this attire. I'll have someone bring over a smaller size. Don’t worry, we are doing the Winter season launch and it's different from the previous events. You don’t have to worry so much”

 

“Susan!” Sherry was close to tears, “I don't know how to catwalk! I totally don’t have any experience!”

 

“Stop refusing, there is no other choice. It's decided then. There's only one more hour and you are familiar with the entire sequences. No one is more familiar with it than you. Even if we find someone else, it will be difficult for them to link up the sequences, understand?” Susan said seriously, “I'll teach you the key points, come with me!"

 

“But..”

 

“No more buts, Sherry, we are in charge of today's event. We can't afford for anything to go wrong, understand?” Susan said seriously, “Trust me, I'll do this if I'm ten years younger and won't force you to do it. I've done something like this before to save the occasion. Don't be nervous!”

 

Susan overbearingly pushed Sherry to the changing room and called for the makeup artist to do a makeover for Sherry. Makeup was put on and her hair was done and even her fingernails were done and glittering.

 

Sherry was once again being thrust into the limelight.

 

At half-past seven that night, the reporters and the audience arrived.

 

At seven forty-five, the company department leaders and regional distributors arrived.

 

At seven-fifty, William and Liam arrived.

 

Once they arrived, the reporters started to take their pictures feverishly. The atmosphere tensed up and the sound of chatters turned silent. Everyone kept quiet.

 

The people held their breath because they don't know how to describe the two men. William maintained expressionless. He was devilishly handsome. He glanced around the event and under the dark night, his deep and his eyes were profound and unpredictable. The man who became a myth of the business world sparked everyone to start whispering to each other.

 

William's arrival caused a commotion. For him to enter with his army of bodyguards was eye-catching enough. One would be smitten by looking at his cool and handsome face. The women present were mesmerized by his natural good looks and the men were respectful of his cool deterrence. Regardless, they were shocked by his charm and made their thoughts take a pause.

 

Once William sat down, he whispered to Alice, “Where is Ms. Murray?”

 

At seven fifty-nine.

 

The time was counting down like the launch of a rocket.

 

When it was time, Sherry immediately felt deaf and her palms started to sweat, “Susan, I can’t go up, I don't know how to catwalk!”

 

“You'll know what to do when you go up. I already instructed people to guide you. You don't have to walk too much. Sherry, you can do it, you can!” Susan patted her face, “Look at how beautiful you are. You will drive men wild! Be confident, let them become wild! You must believe that you have the ability!”

 

Sherry looked into the mirror at herself, was this really her? Can she be so attractive? But this was not an evening ball like the last time she danced with William.

 

This was a fashion launch. She was not in this profession. How could she be doing the catwalk? “Susan, I don't want men to become wild, I only don't want myself to go insane!"

 

Oh lord! She really didn't want to go mad!

“Er! Sherry, is that really you?” Ms. Hines looked at Sherry with the makeup with her eyes wide open in disbelief.

 

“Anna, we are short of models and Sherry is helping to save the occasion!” Susan laughed and when she saw Sherry’'s transformation, she became even more confident. At times, beauty and poise were far more important than the catwalk.
