That statement nearly plunged Matthew back into the depths of his delusions.
He could not stand listening to Lucy praise Cillian. No matter how Lucy tried to comfort him, he would still feel uncomfortable.
Seeing his expression turn awkward again, Lucy immediately reassured him, “Alright, alright, I won’t say such things anymore. I promise that from now on, I’ll only say nice things about you, okay?”
Matthew grumbled like a child, “You promised, so no going back on your word!”
“Don’t worry, I never go back on my word. Unlike some people who back out of their promises multiple times.”
Matthew knew that Lucy was teasing him, but he did not fight back.
While the two conversed, the fashion show began.
…
Backstage, Charlotte had specially prepared an outfit for the fashion show this time. She had invited the most famous fashion designer in Charleston—Koven.
Koven had quite the reputation. His designs were always the highlights of Fashion Week.
Unlike other ordinary runway outfits, his designs were bold and innovative. They were guaranteed to turn heads.
However, the clothes Koven designed were highly dependent on the model’s height, physique, and runway posture. Unfortunately, Charlotte did not realize this. She just wanted to leverage Koven’s reputation to enter the entertainment industry.
She was basically riding on someone else’s coattails.
For Koven, this meant irreparable damage, so he reluctantly agreed to her request.
He tried to avoid highlighting Charlotte’s flaws in his designs and accentuated her strengths instead. However, Charlotte was not satisfied with the first design because she wanted something sexy and wild.
Despite Koven’s subtle hints that such a style was not suitable for her, Charlotte did not take his advice at all. She insisted that he customize a sexy red gown for her.
To preserve his career as a designer, Koven reluctantly agreed to her demands. After Charlotte put on the outfit, Koven regretted it immediately, but he dared not speak up.
While Charlotte was thanking him profusely, the makeup artist invited her to get her makeup done as the fashion show was about to begin.
Koven forced a smile, but he could already feel tears welling up in his eyes. He knew that if Charlotte appeared on stage, it would be a huge setback to his career as a designer.
