Chapter 941 - EY fashion show in LA (1) (2/2)

Backstage, the staff came to tell EY crew that they are up in 15 minutes.

The stylists busied themselves for last minute touch ups and assistants were making sure that models are in their assigned spots.

Sarah and Aiden are in oposite lineups, wearing their couple's outfits. Two of them will emerge from opposite sides of the stage and then meet in the middle, between large wings, and strut on the catwalk together.

Aiden saw Sarah take few deep breaths. He can tell that she is nervous, and he is proud of her for not crumbling under the pressure and running away.

”Can I have your number?”, female voice got Aiden's attention.

He looked at the girl in front of him and showed his devilish smile. ”Only if my fiancée says it's OK.”, he gestured toward Sarah.

The girl was confused. His expression said 'yes' , but did he say a fiancée? What trickery is this? She decided to check with the fiancée girl after their walk.

Aiden chuckled and leaned closer to the girl. ”I thought you wanted my number.”

She stared into his dark eyes and as per command moved toward Sarah.

Sarah's attention moved to the girl only when she was right in front of her. Sarah looked at her and frowned slightly. She is nervous, what does this girl want? To give words of encouragement?

Sarah's face darkened when she heard the girl talk.

”I want the phone number of your fiancé.”

Sarah blinked few times. ”You are kidding me, right?”

”No.”, she honestly responded. ”He said that I can have his number if you say that it's OK.”

Sarah's face darkened. ”You know that he is my fiancé, and you dare to come in front of me and ask for his number?”

”What is going on?”, Ellie approached Sarah and the girl.

Sarah looked at Ellie and answered in an almost robotic voice: ”She wants Aiden's number. From me.”

Ellie inhaled and panickily looked at the girl who still didn't understand what is wrong. ”Crystal, go back to your spot. And if you even look at him again, forget about working for EY again!”

Ellie looked at Crystal as she walked back into the second lineup and took her position in front of Aiden.

Ellie frowned at the thought that this is one of examples of people meddling into someone's relationship. Ellie realized that she probably witnessed something like this more than once, but only now, when she has a relationship which needs defending, she started noticing it.

”Why do you look more upset than I am?”, Sarah's question pulled Ellie out of her thoughts.

Ellie forced a smile. ”I'm fine. Are you?”

”I will be.”, Sarah admitted. She has a mix of anxiety because of the upcoming appearance in front of the public, and this incident with Crystal only made it worse. Or did it? She is more upset about Crystal than anxious about the walk. Sarah realized that Aiden did this on purpose… he sent that girl to her to rile her up so that she forgets about her stage fright. And it's working... because she is angry!
