My Dear Mr. Nice novel Chapter 26

Chapter 26 : Why didn't I call her more affectionately?

Gael also stated:

-This is definitely a new Chanel model!

-It can't be, it must be a fake," Ivanna shouted in disbelief, scowling at Gael with disdain and a mocking tone.

-Who are you? Do you think if you say it's Chanel, it's just Chanel?

The people in the room gawked at Gael and discussed:

This gentleman, it seems, is Gael Mariano, editor-in-chief of the famous magazine "Excellent Taste".

-Yes, yes, that's him, he was on a variety show last time, I saw him! He's even more manly in person!

-He's a leader of fashion trends, how could he possibly get the clothing brand wrong!

-I heard that the latest cover of "Excellent Taste" featured a model in a new Chanel dress.

***

The murmur of the crowd made Ivanna speechless as she received a smack in the mouth.

Gael smiled and nodded to those who recognized him.

Then, looking at Ivanna, he said in a pertinent tone:

-This girl is wearing a limited edition Chanel couture haute couture from last season, which is not yet available on the market! So how can there be fakes and replicas, don't talk nonsense, beautiful!

Ivanna started to panic, but she didn't want to give up the argument.

-Even if it's true, it's a gift from some rich old man, because Micaela is a big slut.

Micaela was surprised that the dress was so famous... and had a vague answer in her mind.

But she decided to tell a little lie:

-Ivanna, isn't the word "self-sufficiency" part of your worldview? You also said that I worked at the university, earned my own money and bought myself a nice dress, does that hurt you or what?

Fearing that Ivanna would say that Micaela didn't have access to such a high-end dress, Alba continued without hesitation:

-Yes, I bought it for Micaela -What's wrong?

Ivanna felt humiliated and defiantly changed the subject.

-Alba, I kindly remind you that you will only degrade yourself by dating her.....

Alba became furious and slammed her fist on the table.

-I'm happy, I like dating Micaela, what do you care!

Those looking around couldn't help but laugh and mutter without fear of being overheard.

-She really thinks she's the vigilante of the Pacific!

-It's not good to accuse people without proof!

-I thought she was the vigilante coming to catch the mistress, but it turns out she doesn't even know who the mistress is!

-She's ignorant of luxury firms, she doesn't even know the editor-in-chief of "Excellent Taste", possibly she's also lying about being a rich lady, isn't she?

***

Micaela suddenly shook the phone in her hand and said faintly.

-I have recorded all our conversations in response to your repeated personal attacks on me.....

The phone was still on the recording screen.

-Ivanna, please apologize to Micaela, otherwise it's a big deal to violate someone's reputation!

Alba smirked and thought to herself, "Micaela is great!".

Ivanna blushed, grunted loudly and turned to run away.

The audience sighed, "And she leaves like that without an apology?".

-Thank you," said Micaela gratefully to Gael.

Alba looked to where he had disappeared and laughed.

-She got away with it!

Gael looked at Micaela appreciatively and discreetly handed her his card.

-Here's my card, beautiful lady, please take it, I'd like to invite you to model for the cover of the next "Excellent Taste"!

Micaela had a moment of confusion... To be a model? Her?

Unconsciously, she took the card and approached Alba, looking at the card in her hand.
