Five years later.
At an art gallery on the western suburbs of J City, a fashion show was currently ongoing.
The backstage was abuzz as models and staff scrambled around in preparation for the show. Since this was Natalie’s debut fashion show, she was busy inspecting the outifts of the various models.
“Mina, could you come over and have a look at this accessory?” someone called out as they beckoned for Natalie.
“Sure!” She turned and headed in that person’s direction.
Earlier, that person had called Natalie “Mina” instead of her real name. That was because “Mina” was now her moniker in the fashion designer world.
In the past five years, she had bloomed into a fine fashion designer. On top of that, she even gained quite the following of fans with her designs over the years.
After bustling around for some time, she finally stopped and took a break. As she was taking a moment to unwind, she gazed out at the audience and observed their reactions to her designs.
Suddenly, she spotted a familiar face in the crowd.
Hold on… Isn’t that Jasmine! What is she doing here?
From where she was sitting in the audience, Jasmine appeared to be quite restless. She kept whispering to her assistant, “Well? Have you found out whether she’s coming or not?”
Her assistant, Penny, replied, “Jasmine, from what I’ve found out, this is Mina’s solo debut. Besides, I can also confirm that she’s definitely back, so she’ll appear for sure.”
Despite what Penny said, Jasmine was not as confident inwardly. After all, Mina was quite the enigma. All this while, she always kept a low profile and never appeared in any public places. Thus, it was already a miracle that Penny was able to find out about her return.
Soon after that, all the models came back onto the runway for their final strut and lined up in one row, indicating that the fashion show was nearing an end. Yet, the center stage where the designer usually stood remained empty. Jasmine craned her neck and tried her best to see if Mina was walking out from backstage, but there was no sign of her anywhere.
As the models made their exits, the crowd gave their final applause, marking the end of the fashion show. However
, Mina was still nowhere to be seen.
