Terry was about to leave as well, but halted in his steps as he found Juliet not living a muscle, instead, staring at the backs of Gerald and Gloria as they exited the room.“Hey, Juliet, are you good? You seem lost in thought for a moment there.”Juliet was pulled out of her daze and she gave a fake smile while shaking her head.“Um, no…I'm fine. Let's go.” Meanwhile, Gloria led Gerald up the stairs to another room far from the training sector of the huge building they were in.In their way, Gerald couldn't hold back his curiosity as he caught up to Gloria quickly, walking side by side with her “Miss June, may I know what you wanted to talk to me about?”Gloria smiled.“First of all, how can you address me by my last name when you made me drop yours? Mr. Gerald, you can just call me blGlirua from now on.”“Now, answering your question, don't worry. It's more of a show than tell kind of situation. It's in the studio where I've moved my stuff.”As they got to a sector of the large b

Terry was calmly conversing with the other models. Despite being teased by them at first, he handled the commentaries on his modeling skills with ease, joking over it but making it clear that he won't become a burden to anyone.“Guys, I understand that, beneath the jokes, you guys are worried that I'll be a weak link on the runway during tomorrow's fashion show. You guys are worried that my low performance will affect the overall experience that Miss Gloria's fashion line will create.”He raised his glass of beer.“So I'm promising you guys right now. I won't fail any one of us! I'll do my best tomorrow!”The models glanced at each other with subtle expressions of guilt at first, but then they all smiled with approving head nods as they picked up their drinks and cheered along with him. Following this, the models became more friendly towards Terry, without the sly remarks.To the side, Juliet was in awe as she whispered to her best friend.“Well done, Terry. You actually…..Since whe

Steven, on the other hand, was pleasantly surprised when he felt Juliet melting in his arms. He was in a good mood as the hug came to an end, believing that Juliet was finally opening up to him.“Alright, let's get you…..”Home. That last word got lost in his mouth, blocked by his jaw clenching as his eyes met Gerald's gaze, seated at a table in the corner.“Oh, I forgot that bastard is here too.”Seeing the murderous stares between the two men, Juliet was no longer in. Kind of revenge. The brutal fight that happened at Blue Valley Club last night was still quite fresh in her mind. She didn't want another round happening, so she shook Steven's shoulder.“Come on, let's go. I wanna rest.”Steven glanced at Juliet and immediately calmed down.“Fine, but not before I do one thing.”He turned away from a confused Juliet to raise his phone at Gerald.“Hey, orphan loser. I've got a gift for you. Since you've lost Juliet to me for good this time. My charitable side for orphans like you woul

Arriving at the event center, which was the same place where the training room could be located, Gloria's models were left in shock and panic when they found that the entire fashion line made by their fashion designer was in ruins, some partly burnt, some partly left in tatters by scissors, while some had a combination of both. The entire outfits had become awful, and it was meant to leave these outfits unfit to walk the runway, especially since these models had gotten a glimpse of these designs yesterday, which made them immensely confident in Gloria's talent and skill as a fashion designer. According to these models, Gloria's designs weren't just unique; they were also on the verge of revolution, not in an oppressively daring manner, but rather a subtle, suggestive one that leaves renowned fashion designers inspired to raise the bar in pushing the fashion industry forward.So one can imagine how horrified these same models felt when they arrived at the changing room in excitement

By 05:00 pm, the guests had begun arriving at the venue. Crimson & Crown Mega-mall had always been well known as a fashion brand overlord, being an umbrella for many of the exclusive fashion brands across the globe.With the recent rise in the net worth of the Arnold family's business empire, not only crossing the threshold of $1 trillion, but now almost reaching $1.5 trillion, the trickle-down effect it has on C&C, being one of its original companies, was tremendous. The Mega-mall -primarily selling fashion and secondly everything else - was now far from its original net worth of $2 billion, quickly surpassing $26 billion.Admittedly, it was a huge rise in wealth, influence, and global power. Crimson & Crown didn't slow down after this, not when the capital was now flooding in. The Vacker family, being the sole managers of this particular chain of mega-malls, was elevated as a result, giving them greater power in all its forms. Within the underworld, they were slowly entrenching t
