Clarence commented impolitely, “How did you win the award with such acting skills? The judges of that
year were apparently blind.”
Winnie was speechless.
Clarence turned his eyes and looked at the woman who was at the bottom of the stage and going back
and forth to busily do her work. One of his hands was casually put on the armrest and his long fingers
were moving slightly.
The words ‘new sweetheart’ was not suitable to describe Stella.
Although he did not want to admit it, compared to the words ‘new sweetheart and the person that is
loved before’, ‘Mrs. Conrad’ obviously suited her more.
Thinking of this, Clarence was a little annoyed. Why she still did not come to beg him? Was it because
the duration of one month given by him was too long?
On the other side, Stella was so busy that she was about to throw up.
A model suddenly fell sick and was sent to the hospital.
But, the problem was that each model’s clothing size and jewellery length were tailor-made, not to
mention that the show was going to start very soon. Within such a short time, even the most basic thing
like finding a model that could do the catwalk also could not be found, let alone finding the suitable and
right model.
When Stella and several other fashion designers were at a loss, someone suddenly said, “Sharon, why
don’t you do it, your figure is similar to the model’s figure, as for the height…just change to a pair of
shoes that is taller.”
Stella was slightly stunned, “But I have no experience in doing catwalk…”
Another designer said, “Who cares about whether you have experience or not now, it’ll be good enough
to be able to fill the vacancy. If this show is screwed up, not only us, but also SG Jewelry Magazine will
become a joke in the entire industry.”
Stella was silent for a while. Before that, SG Jewelry Magazine had encountered a scandal due to her.
Although it was promptly clarified, it more or less still had some impacts inevitably.
Regarding how much SG Jewelry Magazine valued this show, it could be seen from the diligence level
of the staff in the entire magazine during this period.
Once this show failed, many people’s hard work would be devastated.
Stella nodded, “I’ll try my best.”
After putting on her makeup backstage, Stella looked at the pair of slender high heels and felt that her
stomach was churning again. She grabbed a glass of water and took a few sips to hold back the
feelings of nausea. She adjusted her breathing.
Apparently, the little one in her belly was protesting to her.
Since she was found out to be pregnant and told by the doctor to be more careful, she had never worn
high heels again. When she walked downstairs, she tried to avoid the children around her and walked
on the flat and spacious path.
At this moment, a staff member ran in from outside, “Only one last model is left, are you ready?”
Under everyone’s gaze, Stella put on the pair of high heels, “Yes.”
No matter what, she had to go to the battlefield.
Stella covered her belly with her hands and quietly let out a breath. Little baby, you had to hang in
there.
When Vivian finished the first catwalk and came back to change clothes, it was just nice that she
passed by Stella who was preparing to go to the stage.
She was very satisfied with her performance just now. Her performance belonged to the kind in which
even if the Conrad Group insisted on saying that she was the MVP tonight, others would not have any
objections.
But when she saw Stella, she instantly and seemingly saw a strong enemy.
Not to talk about the other parts, Stella’s extremely charming face that could attract countless men was
indeed flawless. Now, she was dressed to the teeth like this, she looked even more…
Vivian stood on the same spot and was so angry that her entire body was trembling. Her voice became
sharper and sharper, “Why will she go to the stage!”
The staff member next to her whispered, “It’s apparently because there is a problem with the model.”
“She’s really good at finding excuses. It is clearly because that bitch wants to make a splash!”
Vivian looked in the direction where Stella left and gritted her teeth.
The show tonight and Clarence all belonged to her. She would never let Stella succeed!
…
In the scene of the show…
Clarence pinched his brow and sagged his eyes to glance at his wristwatch, wondering how long would
the show take before it ended.
He was looking forward to knowing Stella’s expression when she found out that she was the candidate
today. Would it be a surprise or shock? Or maybe…
After slightly thinking about the scene afterward, Clarence felt some dryness in his throat and his eyes
darkened slightly.
It was not that Stella did not get carried away to rush over and embrace his waist affectionately. When
he thought about it carefully now, it seemed that she was not that annoying.
Just when Clarence’s attention was moving further and further away from this show, a small stir
suddenly happened in the scene of the show which was originally quiet.
Clarence slightly raised his eyes but his eyes remained to stare at the catwalk.
Stella, who was wearing a black long dress was standing only three metres away from him. The lights
on the stage and her hemline that was embellished with broken diamonds were like a sky full of stars.
Stella’s beauty was generally acknowledged. But whenever she went out, including the previous launch
of Puppy Love’ Series of SG Jewelry Magazine, she seldom spruced up herself nicely.
Now, the resplendent dress, exquisite make-up, coupled with the jewellery.
All of them were accentuating her beauty.
This black long dress that was full of designs totally showed her beauty and she had aggressively
defeated every beauty on the stage.
Stella was originally a little nervous when standing on the stage. She had adjusted her breathing many
times but she unexpectedly had eye contact with a person that looked very calm and cold. After
freezing for a while, she unconsciously clenched her fists.
She could not screw up this show for the sake of the two million yuan!
And she could not let this wretched pair of man and woman have a good laugh at her!
She took a deep breath and turned her eyes away stiffly.
Clarence pursed his lips, picked up the water bottle and twisted off the bottle cap to drink a mouthful of
water. He slowly said, “Was she peeking at me just now.”
Winnie was a bit speechless, “…How come I feel that she is glaring at you?”
“Eyes that aren’t needed can be donated to those in need.”
“…”
After Stella came off stage, there was a hot discussion in the entire scene of the show. Everyone was
asking who the person was just now. Some said that she was a model; some said that she was a star
and some even said that she was his future wife.
Only the staffs of SG Jewelry Magazine was particularly proud, “That’s our contracted designer!”
Amidst the noise of people, Clarence slowly stood up and walked towards the backstage.
After getting off the stage, Stella’s feet went weak and it was lucky that Sherry helped her in time,
“Stella, are you okay?”
Stella’s hands and feet were cold, “I…am okay.”
Sherry felt that she did not look okay. There were two more catwalks to be done later, she obviously
could not make it in such a body condition.
When Stella just took off her shoes, her stomach churned. She did not even have time to change her
clothes before rushing to the washroom to vomit.
Sherry anxiously grabbed the cup on the table to get some water and hurriedly followed her.
After vomiting, Stella felt much better. She leaned against the wall weakly.
“Stella, drink some hot water.”
Stella vomited so much that her stomach was already empty. After drinking water, she felt much more
comfortable.
Stanford strode over this time, “I’ve already asked someone to contact the model. It’ll at least take
twenty minutes for her to come over and it will take half an hour to put on the make-up…”
In other words, Stella had to do the catwalk again.
Looking at Stella’s pale face, Stanford frowned, “Sharon, are you not feeling well?”
Stella shook her head, “I’m fine, I can still hold on.”
At this point, Stanford already had no other choices so he could only say, “Hold on a little longer, I’ll ask
them to do it as soon as possible.”
Before Stella replied, a cold male voice sounded behind them, “Hold on to do what.”
Stanford turned around and saw that it was Clarence. He pressed his temples, “Mr. Conrad, we’ve
encountered a small trouble here, we’re already dealing with it.”
