Chapter 178 - Womens Fashion Show (1/2)
In a blink of an eye, it was already Sunday. For the past three days, Kris and Lena were able to text an ample of messages. Kris had shared many of his pictures. Lena could probably say that he has mastered using the camera on his phone and taking selfies.
Lena thought that she woke up quite early but it seems that Kris woke up earlier. He already sent her a good morning message. However, she ignored it. Today was the women's fashion show. Lena was attending the event with Madam Li.
In the past, Lena would not like to be open about her relationship with other rich and powerful families, but since Eva and Madam Yang's time was coming to an end, she was able to let her guard down just a tad bit.
She was lazy throughout the day until it was time to get ready. She had a face mask on yesterday, so her face was extra shiny and smooth today.
Lena put on some light make-up. She wore a light pink, A-line high-necked dress that went down to the floor. She wore a set of customed ruby jewelry. Her hair was curled with a simple fish braid on both sides and clipped on the back. The outfit was paired up with a silver pink handbag and an ankle-laced high heel.
She put on a more ruby red lipstick to match the rubies and her look was done for the day. Lena made sure she had her invitation.
Kris arranged the ride, so thankfully it was scheduled to pick up Lena first and then his mom. If it was the other way around, Lena would have to make an excuse to be at the Shen mansion.
When the car arrived, Lena hopped to the back. There were a driver and one security for Madam Li. Today was a big day so Lena did not have James with her. He was with Noah, executing the plan for the evening.
They went to pick up Madam Li at the Li mansion then detoured to the Fashion Show. It was not always to be the earliest people to arrive nor the latest. If you wanted the good shots and excitement from the reporters, you need to arrive just in time.
A big shot like Madam Li was a woman who needed to always be in the prime of the news. Even for her older age, her skin and beauty were flawless.
When they arrived, Lena stepped out of the car first. Even with just her, the flashes of pictures were overrated. She has been in the news lately because of her successful partnership of LUX. LUX released their first traditional Chinese inspired jewelry launch and it was a big success.
Lena waited outside the door for Madam Li to exit out. Many of the new reporters were shocked to see Madam Li with such a young lady. Because of the rumors around Kris disliking woman, Madam Li was often not seen around any of the young rich ladies.
Madam Li did not stop for any pictures but was sure to smile and walk slow enough that she knew the reporters got a few good shots of her and Lena.
Lena's ticket was especially from Ming Zhao, so he got really good seats. Madam Li was such an influential and well-known lady that she was for sure reserved in a good seat too. Even though they were not seated together, Madam Li was able to ask for them to sit together without any questions.
”Madam Li!”
”Madam Zhao.”
Both of the Madam greeted each other. Madam Zhao was the main designer for the fashion show. She was originally a European fashion designer, but since she married Zhao Lin, she moved her business and fame here.
Over the years, her most successful and highly anticipated fashion show was the Women's Fashion Show. People from all over the world would attend it.
”Lena.” Madam Zhao spotted Lena. ”Are you here with... Madam Li?”
”Yes. Some last-minute plans.” Lena replied.
”Ah... I see. Ming Zhao just told me this morning that the VIP ticket I gave him was for you. If I had known earlier, I would have let you two come together.”
”It's alright.” Lena smiled
”Yes, it is alright. Lena will be with me and my son today.” Madam Li interrupted.
