Ellen's departure has been quiet. No media had known of her plans of leaving the country. But Lexie knows about it from Lucien. His men reported Ellen's flight together with her parents and it's doesn't look like a short vacation.
"It would help her to leave for a moment," she said to him."Yes, it will do her good. I wonder what made her decide. She was a brat and spoiled to be convinced by her parents" he mumbles."Miss Ellen is a smart woman. She might have some realizations to make her life better" she smiles while snuggling close to him with closed eyes."I hope so" he mutters with a shrug. They just finished making love and they are ready to sleep while having a casual conversation. But too tired to stay awake, Lexie no longer had the chance to reply as she enters slumber. "I tire you again, my doll" he whispers while caressing her face.After placing a gentle kiss on her forehead, he gathers her in his arms and closed his eLexie went back to the main room and she paused at the door, sensing the tensed atmosphere while all eyes were on her.She looks around and she could see different expressions, which confuses her. She was trying to assess the situation when she noticed her makeup kit."Oh my...my kit" she mumbles as she rushes to pick up her stuff on the floor."Lexie..." Jason called.Turning to Jason, she turns to look at him and she narrow's her eyes upon seeing Jason's grim expression."What is it Jason?" she asks. She could sense everyone's hostility towards her."Someone lost a ring" Jason seriously stated.Earnestly listening and looking at him, she mulls with something."Oh...I found a ring in the powder room during lunch... it's here in my kit..." she immediately checks the bag and looks for it."This?" Mariz raises the ring in her hand."We've been looking for this thing the whole afternoon" she added.Turning to the model, she s
The day of the event has come and everyone was all scrambling on their feet even at the break of dawn. The previous day's tension was temporarily forgotten as everyone becomes focused on making the summer event successful."Today is your launch in Silhouettes Designs, right?" Lucien mumbles against her cheek."Yes," she replies with closed eyes, enjoying Lucien's kisses."Shine bright like a sun, my doll. I know you will blind them with your beauty and your talent. I'm so proud of you" he continues as he trails kisses all over her face."You haven't seen my designs, Lucien..." incredulous but amused, she retorted."I don't need to see, I know you are great in your craft. I believe in you" he firmly counters, gently biting her skin.Giggling, she tightens her arms around his waist."Thank you for the faith, my love" she smiles and kisses him back. He enjoys her lips on his before moving away to cup her beautiful f
Just like what Levinia said, minutes before the start of the show, CEO Lucien Wright arrived.Arvin and Eve rushed to meet the man amid the hushed surprise of every guest. And as the most famous among all famous guests, everyone stands to greet the CEO, though no one could come close to even shaking hands with him."Welcome to Silhouettes Designs summer launch, CEO Wright. We are greatly honored by your presence" Arvin firmly shook hands with Lucien and Eve followed."I have some spare time, President Arvin" he casually responded before turning to Eve with a smile."Welcome, CEO Wright" Eve smiles despite her nervous nerves. She hasn't met the CEO this close aside from seeing him afar during events she accompanies Arvin. Indeed, the CEO is dangerously handsome. His strong prominent profile is paired with piercing eyes, enough to intimidate with just a stare. His powerful intimidating aura fills the entire place and she bet everyone had felt it.
The instant she steps outside of the stage, she felt his presence. She doesn't need to see him to know he is watching.Looking straight ahead, she saw him directly afar, in front of the stage. Together with his family whom she saw subtle surprise reflects on their faces as they stare at her. But one of the things Wright was good at is maintaining their expressions controlled. No one had even noticed the surprise they have upon seeing Lexie onstage.Discreetly, she spares them a fleeting glance, especially with Lucien. Too quick for anyone to notice their gazes lock. But the fleeting moment is all they need. They already understood the unspoken and it made her more confident. He is watching her and she will give him a perfect show.During her previous modeling career, she had not been given the chance to model in an event as huge as the summer event of SD, but she has been doing great in modeling even before. She just had no chance to showcase how she could own t
As expected, Lexie was called to be introduced to Arman Varce and Sandra Corsino together with the Wright family amid jealousy from the other models, especially Mariz and her circle of friends.The after-party has started and everyone enjoys the overflowing drinks and sumptuous buffet dinner while enjoying the twilight. The dramatic indigo color showers the sky seeming to join the celebration of the success of Silhouettes Designs.Led by Arvin, Lexie approaches the group with a reserved smile. Boring envious gazes from the others followed the two as they walk towards the most prominent group in the after-party."Lexie, meet Mr. Arman Varce, the owner and designer of Varce Designs" politely, she accepted his handshake."Nice meeting you sir" with a reserved smile she looks straight into his eyes."My pleasure is mine, Miss Montes" amicably, the man kisses her hand."And this is Madame Sandra Corsino, the owner and Editor of Fashion Toda
To pacify the situation, Levinia casually made Lexie sit beside Lucien while Samantha took her seat beside Lexie. They made sure Lexie will not be seated close to any man, especially Arvin who is so obvious of his affection towards her.Lucien has been very quiet, sporting a dark expression and Lexie could not do anything about it. She was relieved, she was made to sit next to him.The dark aura, filling the air seems to have lessened but does not completely vanish. Somehow, Lexie beside him pacified his possessiveness.The meal has been comfortable for everyone while maintaining a relaxed conversation. And Lexie had the chance to discreetly touch her legs to Lucien's knee when she turn towards his direction to reply to Sandra Corsino."I hope you don't mind me asking and you may not answer it if you are uncomfortable. Are you in a relationship right now, Miss Montes?" the woman casually asks."Yes, Madame, I am" with a smile, she immediately replies."
"How's the show? He is here and I'm so happy for you, honey" Dom asks after they settled at one of the tables. The venue is in a festive mood with all the guests having the greatest time of their lives. Everyone is in a celebration mood for the success of Silhouettes Designs."It was great, Dom. And yes, I wasn't expecting him to come but I'm happy he made time. It's just awkward to act like we don't know each other, even with Sam and mom" she whispers as she leans close to him."He is so sweet, a darling. I bet you're tempted to devour him" he teased."Indeed he is. How I've been dying to squeeze his adorable face since earlier when we were introduced. Can you believe it, we shook hands like real strangers. And he is such a gentleman though he looks scary intimidating" she giggles though in a hush."Yes, he is a lot scary, Lex. He could kill with just a stare" he retorted."I don't wish to be killed by his gaze, but he could make you cum by just
Leaving the two men in their privacy and wanting to come back to the party, Lexie leisurely walks back to the venue. She felt exhausted but the night is still young. A lot of guests are still enjoying the after-party and it would be improper to leave.She is almost by the Olympic size pool, she was blocked by several figures."Congratulations on the success of your modeling career, Miss Montes. Surely you will have a considerable chance to steal from now on" Mariz spoke of her insults.Staying quiet, she looks at the woman in front of her. She doesn't want to engage but she might indulge."Haven't we clear on that issue, Miss Segovia? I didn't steal your ring and I don't have any plans of stealing anything" she seriously retorted."If you think you had convinced me with your innocent act, think again. I'm not as gullible as the others" the model snickers, countering her. Staring at the tipsy model, she understood the situation better."This is not
