It seemed par for the course, then, that the privilege of being the first to wear the latest collection fell on
Ashlyn.
The vice president of the luxury fashion brand personally contacted Ashlyn. “Ms. Berry, it would be our
greatest honor if you would wear one of our pieces to an event as grand as the charity auction.
Furthermore, we promise that we will auction the dress you wear for the evening, and all proceeds will
go to the disaster relief.”
Ashlyn did not expect a high-end fashion brand like Alethea, which exclusively catered to A-list
celebrities, to reach out to her personally.
In a bid to persuade her to take up the offer, the vice president of the brand went on to say, “We will be
collaborating with Lille Magazine, the leading fashion magazine in H Nation, on next month’s issue. On
that note, we would love to have you on the cover. Do you think you’ll be up for it?”
The man’s enthusiasm caught Ashlyn off guard, and she replied hesitantly, “I don’t know if I’m suited for
the job, seeing as I’m not a model or a celebrity…”
Countless celebrities and supermodels would kill to be on the cover of a leading fashion magazine. She
could not believe that an opportunity as precious as this one would fall on her, and she could not help
but be skeptical about it.
“You’ve been a pacesetter in the recent disaster relief efforts. If anything, you and Mr. Nolan have set
an example for the nation as a whole. We would extend the same invitation to him as well if it weren’t
so difficult to get ahold of him. You see, we initially planned on having a power couple like you on the
cover…”
Ashlyn found herself picturing Lucas’ grim, albeit handsome face during a photoshoot.
The thought of it amused her so much that she could not help smiling. She looked so dazzling in that
instant that everything else around her seemed to fade away.
“Hmm… Maybe it’s best if you let go of that idea,” she suggested.
She knew what this collaboration with Alethea would mean.
Following the phone conversation, the magazine cover shoot was scheduled for the day before the
charity auction.
Ashlyn arrived on the set of the cover shoot at eight o’clock in the morning.
The location of the cover shoot was a renowned forest park in Lake City. Now that it was the beginning
of winter, the park looked forlorn, especially with fallen leaves strewn all over the place. There was a
man-made lake in the forest park as well. For what it was worth, at least the water looked crystal-clear,
and every so often, a few ducks waded into the lake and frolicked there.
Surrounding the lake were resorts and recreational facilities, but given the freezing weather, there were
hardly any tourists around. The lack of a crowd made it seem like the forest park was cut off from the
rest of the world.
Presently, the employees from the magazine had set up a makeshift styling booth with whatever props
they had on hand.
To one side, Cassandra was incredulous when she saw the first outfit that had been picked out for
Ashlyn.
She hurried up to one of the magazine employees and asked, “Ms. Hinton, you’re not seriously
expecting Ashlyn to wear so little on a cold day like this, right? She’ll freeze to death!”
“I’m sorry, Ms. Jensen, but the theme for today’s cover shoot is ‘Altruism’, which means Ms. Berry will
not only be expected to wear those clothes, but also to pose and move more naturally, like walk around
the lake or dip her toes into the water. It’s so we can fully capture the meaning behind our theme and
offer a more candid perspective to our readers.”
The person in charge of the cover shoot for the magazine was none other than Sharon, Ashlyn’s former
rival from LX Corporation.
It was only with Mary’s help that Sharon was able to return to work as a designer for LX Corporation,
but those days were short-lived.
Sharon had been counting on Mary’s help to become the chief designer in LX Corporation back then,
but to her surprise, Mary had iced her out completely.
Consequentially, Sharon had no choice but to leave LX Corporation once more and ended up joining
Lille Magazine as part of the editorial board.
Not long after that, she was promoted to managing editor due to her sharp sense of fashion and
experience as a former fashion designer. By chance, she was put in charge of this cover shoot.
However, she had no idea that Ashlyn was the mysterious designer from LX Corporation two years
ago. Now that she had seen Ashlyn in person, she could not help but think that Ashlyn had a figure
similar to that designer.
More importantly, Ashlyn had nearly the same mannerisms as that designer as well! It was a shame
that the mysterious designer always wore a mask, so Sharon never did get a proper look at her face.
Ashlyn and the designer might be two different people for all Sharon cared, but they were similar
enough for Sharon to take her anger out on the former.
