Four hours before the event.Once again, Jane scans the well-arranged stage. Some staff members are seen checking and ensuring various things around."Are you nervous, Olive?"It feels like that question is completely unnecessary. Jane turns to where Brina is nearby. She smiles with a slow exhale, as if experiencing the same thing as Jane. "Not just you, Olive. Me too."Jane smiles faintly. "I thought you wouldn't feel that way."Brina sighs irritably. "The only person Fabian will look for if there's a tiny mistake is me, Olive. You know, Fabian turns into a monster if that happens."Jane laughs. She can already imagine if Brina's words come true. "So, I really have to focus here.""You have to." Brina says with a final tone. "Don't let all your rehearsals go to waste. We're all counting on you, Olive."Actually, for Jane, this trust is very heavy. The most fundamental and essential reason is because she's new to this world. Sh

The world Jane steps into now seems to stop. There's only her, staring at the man in front of her. He sits calmly, with a faint smile, occasionally engaging sweetly with the woman beside him. When Austin is with her, he never acts gentle. What she sees feels like her heart being roughly squeezed."I'm here to save you, Olive."That's Fabian's voice. It sounds clear, making Jane immediately realize she shouldn't stay silent here. Jane blinks twice, convincing herself that Fabian is indeed there. She gives a faint smile while reaching out her hand. No, Jane is sure Fabian doesn't want that hand to be greeted but signals her to continue walking.So that's what Jane does. Even though she feels like her feet aren't touching the ground anymore, she tries hard to minimize any mistakes that could happen due to her silence earlier. Brina's voice giving instructions, Nico directing how she should pose appropriately with its own aesthetic value, and the voices of the noisy

Calysta's hands clenched non-stop. Her heart began to feel hot, and she really wanted to vent all the frustration that was hitting her. Her attendance at this fashion show, besides solidifying her relationship with Austin—oh, anyone would want to be connected to a man like Austin whom she has already conquered. Apart from the fact that the Don William family has a significant influence in the business in this country, what woman wouldn't be fascinated by Austin's charm?Even when she got out of the car, Calysta could already see many eyes looking at her future husband. No problem. Calysta isn't a real issue, actually. After all, she's confident that Austin won't be able to stay far from her. She came to this place not without purpose.Every time SEO holds a showcase for the latest designs, it is always surrounded by many business people and prominent figures in the country. Calysta wants to take the opportunity to get to know them better. So that she can be more

Austin pours himself more wine, his companion for the night. Glancing at the large bed in the middle of the room, Calysta is already fast asleep, wrapped in a blanket. He recalls what happened before she truly went into the realm of dreams, engaging in an activity that Austin always enjoys every time he's with Calysta.Whispering each other's names and reaching the peak of pleasure together. Moreover, tonight's atmosphere is very conducive for Austin to fulfill his desires, although... something bothers him. He tries to push it away, but still, the uneasiness returns. It forces him to step aside for a moment, pondering what is really happening.In his other hand, a tablet plays the replay of the press conference that SEO Fashion held. It hasn't been twenty-four hours since he attended the event. From the opening session to the Q&A, Austin doesn't miss a single part. Occasionally, he sips wine from his glass. He waits for something that will undoubtedly surface duri

Jane couldn't hide her surprise at the many things she had to do. Irena, sitting in front of her, chose to enjoy the slices of cake Jane served. She could see Jane's eyes wandering, examining every part of the sheet that had just been handed over."You... aren't kidding, right, Irena?" Jane asks with an incredulous look."There's no way I'd lie to you about the schedule." Irena chuckles. "I've also given your schedule to Brina. You're lucky; Brina is asked to handle you this season."Jane is stunned."That's why the noisy trio doesn't bother me, Olive." Irena cheers. "Apart from Brina being a blessing for them, you know.""Oh my." Jane can only sigh in frustration. She didn't care about who her partner would be during the SEO schedule. Brina and Nico had warned her; she had to prepare herself as much as possible after the show. Her vacation was only two days and had to be used wisely.Fortunately, the noisy trio also got the same holiday sch
