Chapter 561 - The accident during the show (1/2)

Ryn walked toward the runway amid the applause from the audience. She gave a slight smile, looking proud as a phoenix as she made her way along the runway. Her pace was steady and she looked confident as she walked along the glass surface. She stopped right at the end of the runway to pose before she continued her walk until she reached backstage. Once she was out of the audience's view, she lifted the hem and rushed to change into the next outfit. She skillfully ran despite wearing high heels.

She rolled her eyes when she saw how relieved Mei Li was to see her safe from any accident. She grabbed the next dress and put it on, listening carefully at the floor manager who was busy shouting instructions for the models. Ryn did not want to miss her turn and ruin the show.

”Help me with the zip,” Ryn showed her back to her manager. She signalled another girl to help her with the shoes while she put on her short frilly gloves. The next outfit was a bit complicated with the hairpiece, the gloves as well as the feathered heels. And when she was rushing, the zip was not working for her.

Mei Li quickly helped with the zip while the others gathered around Ryn to help with everything else. Even the make-up artist changed a bit of her make-up to suit the dress. This time, she would be a white tiger. Well, the female version of the white tiger. A pretty one.

Ryn went to join the queue once the stylist announced she was ready. She frowned a bit when she realized the long hem might affect her walk. She lifted the hem a bit as she looked into the long mirror provided. She swished the dress as she looked into the mirror, experimenting on how to walk in the dress without any incident. Once she found a suitable way of holding the dress that could show off the dress as well as avoid any accident on the runway.

She was in the middle of posing when the model before her had an accident on the way backstage. She did not notice it at first as she was doing poses but when she heard the loud gasp, she turned to look at the model and found her still struggling to get up. It was too slippery and the model fell again.

Without a frown, Ryn continued her walk until she reached the model. She held the hem of her dress and carefully gave another hand to the model. Without a word, Ryn successfully pulled the model up and helped with the dress. The model's hem was already wet from the fall and might cause another accident. Ryn carefully helped adjust the hem so that the model would not fall again. Then, she lifted her head and gave a pointed look at the small puddle for the next model to avoid.

”Suck it up,” Ryn whispered to the whimpering model without moving her lips and walked backstage, purposedly walking behind the sad model so as not to ruin the turn. It did not take a long time between her helping the model up as well as giving the warning for the other models hence when she reached backstage, she still had time to change into the next dress.

The third and the last dress turned her into a dragon. She even had armour to represent the hard steel body of the dragon. The stylist even ordered two women to put on shimmering golden fake nails on her for the claws. Maybe because she was the finale to end the show hence the things she was being out on were more than what the others received. The hairstylist managed to change her hairstyle, making her wonder how stiff her hair would look at the end of the day with so much hairspray to keep it in place.

As the model that would close the show, she stopped at the end of the runway and turned to look at the back as she joined others clapping hands for the designer. She did not expect to see a shy girl and boy walking together hand in hand along with the man. But, being Ryn, she did not show how shocked she was. She smiled as she clapped her hands and waited until they reached where she was. Then, she posed with them.

Well, she was taken aback to know that the designers for the dresses were the twins, younger siblings of the man and he was determined to show off his siblings' creations without a care of the budget. He even chose the best for everything, even with a thick face begged Ryn to join the show. Ryn was unsure of the background of the siblings but as long as she did her job perfectly and according to what was expected, she did not care much about anything else.

Mei Li helped her to take off everything on her hair and body after she was done with the press conference. As the main model, she was asked by the man to accompany the siblings while the reporters were interviewing them. She also helped by showing off the dress so the photographer could take a closer look at the dress. She quickly put on her clothes back but did not make a move to take off the make-up.

”Are we joining them for the celebration?” Mei Li asked. She did not mind if Ryn said she wanted to leave. The show has ended and Ryn should be beyond exhausted by now.
