Chapter: 58
He was texting Theodore, asking him to drop the act. He felt that it was high time Theodore stopped pretending to be crippled
and came back to BRD Group for good.
The past few weeks had been hell for Adrian. He was almost losing his mind after filling in for the CEO for too long. He didn’t
even have time to go on dates or turn up at different clubs like he badly wanted to. Work was killing him!
Adrian yawned tiredly after he got no response from Theodore.
Suddenly, the music changed. The light in the banquet hall became dim. However, the runway was brightly lit.
Adrian looked up at the model on the runway His eyebrows crinkled in utter surprise and uncertainty.
The model was dressed in a black flowing dress. Its hemline was adorned with several irregular and small diamonds. The light
reflected on the diamonds, causing shimmers on the walls of the banquet hall and other objects. Her skin was fair, contrasting
with the ruby pendant sitting on her chest.
Rubies were not rare jewels for the sophisticated people here, so this one didn’t attract too much attention.
What attracted Adrian’s attention was the model who wore it. He blinked a few times. The model seemed vaguely familiar to him.
Although half of her face was covered by the mask, her lips and sharp chin were bare.
Just as he wondered where he had seen those lips and chin before, the woman turned around.
She raised her hand lazily and the cloth on her back caught fire and blazed up. The audience exclaimed in astonishment.
The fire went out as quickly as it started. The back of her dress changed into a sexy deep V- shape, revealing the model’s
beautiful shoulder blades. The black thorny necklace sat on them.
The model catwalked to both sides of the runway, placing her hand on her hip occasionally. Her smoky eyes swept over the
spell-bound audience at every turn.
Adrian brought himself back from oblivion just in time. He took a picture of the model and sent it to Theodore.
Back in the Anderson family’s residence, Theodore was preoccupied with work in his study.
His phone had been vibrating for quite some time now.
He picked it up, intending to turn it off for good However, what popped up on the screen drew his attention. He clicked on the
photo immediately.
“Isn’t this...”
Theodore frowned and then dialed Horace’s number.
“Get the car ready, now!”
Ariana walked back to the backstage area, applause ringing in her ears.
Once she reached her dressing room, she collapsed onto a chair and took a deep breath.
She would be lying if she said she hadn’t been nervous. Any mistake, no matter how small, would be blown out of proportion.
Ivan trusted her so much and she didn’t want to let him down. She had to be perfect.
