Logan's eyes were clouded with anger. "Fine. Let's see how you'll hold your showcase tonight.""Fuck you!" Nadia was disgusted. How had she ever met such a despicable person? She truly lowered her standards for him."Don't worry. The show will go on as scheduled," Quinn reassured Nadia.Logan scoffed. He was clearly unconvinced.Just then, Quinn pulled out her phone and dialed a number. "Yes, that's right. Buy the venue at the design school."Logan was speechless.Buy the venue? Was he hearing things, or was she out of her mind?Anyone could talk big. She might as well say that she was buying the entire design school."It's ridiculous how pretentious people can be these days. You really see every kind of person out there."Logan didn't believe that this woman, who looked younger than him, could actually buy the venue.Likewise, Abby found it amusing.Did they have any idea how expensive the rent for this venue was? She doubted Quinn knew how much the venue was.Xavier nodde
The venue manager got off the phone with his boss, who informed him that the venue was sold. He could either continue working here or resign.He stared at the young woman before him in disbelief. How could such a young lady wield so much power?"Ms. Jowell, can I continue working here? I really need this job," the manager asked anxiously."Of course," Quinn replied calmly. "Don't worry, none of the staff will be affected. You can all continue working here."After all, they hadn't done anything wrong. There was no reason for her to fire them."What's going on?" Logan couldn't believe his ears. Did this young lady really buy this venue?"By the way, make sure to cancel his rental agreement. Someone like him has no right to use our venue," Quinn said."What are you talking about? I've already paid the deposit!" Logan protested."Breach the contract. I'll cover the penalty," Quinn said dismissively.Logan panicked instantly. His show was just three days away. The venue had been bo
"Don't worry. It's just a small fight. The worst that'll happen is a little compensation. Besides, Ian isn't short on cash, so there's really nothing to worry about," Xavier reassured Nadia."Alright, you both need to come with us to the police station. We need to understand the situation," one of the police officers said."Nadia, just focus on preparing for your show. I'll be back soon," Ian said.Nadia was far from at ease. "Quinny, I—""Relax. Nothing will go wrong with Xavier on our side," Quinn assured her.Both Ian and Logan were taken away by the police, but Abby remained behind.Seeing her only soured Nadia's mood further."What are you still doing here? Logan's gone. Get lost already," Nadia snapped."This is a design school, not your home. I'll stay if I want to," Abby retorted."Shameless bitch."Abby pretended not to hear that. She was waiting for a chance to speak with Xavier, but he was always by Quinn's side. She had no opportunity to approach him.With only a
Nadia just wanted to build a career alongside Quinn."How could you possibly leave me out of this? This venue is my first investment!" Quinn laughed."You're right. Thanks. My boss is indeed generous. Do you need me to offer myself to you, boss? If you do, I can even reconsider my orientation," Nadia joked."No need for that. I still prefer sleeping with men." Quinn was just joking, but Xavier overheard her remark."Well, I'm the better option, of course," Xavier said shamelessly.Both Quinn and Nadia exchanged exasperated glances. How could he be so brazen about it?But then again, that was just Xavier. He always prided himself on having slept with Quinn.The graduation showcase was set to begin at 7:00 pm, and it was already 6:00 pm. Nadia had ordered plenty of boxed meals for everyone."Sorry, everyone! We'll have a nice meal after the show, but for now, this is all we've got," she announced.Both Xavier and Ian held high positions and typically never resorted to eating box
The first model to walk the runway was quite well-known at the design school.As soon as she appeared, all eyes were drawn to her.Someone couldn't help but shout, "You look stunning, Giselle!""Honestly, I never realized Nadia was such a talented designer. She was always following Logan around," another student remarked."I used to think she was just riding on Logan's coattails, but it's clear now that her designs are far better than his," came another voice.One by one, beautifully proportioned models graced the runway. Each of them showcased designs that Nadia had spent countless sleepless nights perfecting.At that moment, seeing her creations come to life in front of an audience felt truly magical.Becoming an outstanding designer had always been Nadia's dream, and today was the closest she had ever been to realizing it.Nadia felt a whirlwind of emotions. She was unsure of how to articulate them.Each model's entrance garnered thunderous applause.The audience consisted
Quinn stepped onto the runway, and she was clad in four-inch heels. The dress looked even more stunning once she put it on.Without a smile, she exuded an air of cool sophistication.Her long hair cascaded down her shoulders, and her makeup was impeccably done. It complemented her outfit perfectly.Every curve of her body was flawless. She embodied the ideal figure.As she made her entrance, Xavier's gaze was fixed on her.This was the first time he had seen Quinn in this dress with her makeup done, and she took his breath away.At that moment, she was walking directly toward him.All he could see was her."Wow, that dress is incredible! Compared to the previous designs, this one is truly made for the model," someone in the audience exclaimed."You're right. The dress perfectly captures the model's ethereal elegance.""I think it's more than just elegance. There's something intriguing about her, something that draws you in.""Yes! That dress suits her so well."Quinn always
Nadia was completely caught off guard by Logan's sudden arrival.Why was he here? Hadn't they already ended things on the worst of terms?Quinn noticed Logan too. From the look in his eyes, it was clear he came to stir up trouble."Get him thrown out," she instructed. She wasn't about to let anyone ruin Nadia's show.However, it was too late. Logan charged onto the stage while completely disregarding everything else.Nadia froze as she was startled by his aggressive entrance. What was he trying to do?"How can you be so shameless, Nadia? All of your designs are plagiarized from mine!" Logan accused loudly.He didn't think Nadia deserved any of these praises.Earlier, Logan had received a call from a potential investor he had been courting. They informed him that they were pulling out of the deal.He asked for a reason, and they told him that they wanted to collaborate with Nadia instead. They claimed her designs were what they truly desired.Logan had worked so hard for this
Logan started to rile up the audience.There were plenty of reporters and media influencers at today's show. With how successful the event had been, online viewership was soaring.Now, with the accusation of plagiarism floating around, the topic had already hit the trending list.If things weren't handled well, Nadia's entire career could be ruined.The audience didn't know whom to believe. After all, there was no concrete evidence on either side."Logan, accusations like this need proof. You're just spouting nonsense," Ian said through gritted teeth.If he had known this would happen, he would have taken care of Logan earlier. That would have been better than letting him come here and spout nonsense."So, just because I don't have evidence, I'm supposed to accept being plagiarized?" Logan retorted.He was feeling triumphant.Nadia must've been riding high earlier. She must be in a world of pain now that she had fallen from that pedestal.If he couldn't have success, Nadia wo
