"Seems like you have nailed it", Li Xue said, putting a big smile of appreciation over her lips while walking inside the workroom. Her gaze darted to look at the completed piece set aside on the desk. 

"Mm-hmm", Feng Yi Lan affirmed as she took a stride to step back to let Li Xue take a proper and closer look. "I have created one for now. But not sure if this will work perfectly on the stage or not?" She said, for the once in whole while showing her anxious side.  ​​

The co-designer gaze at once shot up to check if he has really heard it well. Because just a few moments ago when he had said the same, the lady had shown her all confidence in the piece. Yet now in front of the friend she has been completely opposite to it. Was he heard wrongly before? Or was it just now his ears got some problem? 

When felt his confused eyes from the side, Feng Yi Lan could not pretend more and just say straight, looking at him. "Don't look at me like that? What I said to you before was the right thing to say as your Boss. I cannot discourage you knowing that you did your best possible. But …" 

She paused, turning to look at Li Xue, before walking to her and hooking arms with hers. "But this is my friend. My comrade. I can only reveal my real side to her without hiding anything." She said, leaning on Li Xue's shoulders showing her dependency on her. 

The co-designer could only nod in understanding. His eyes, looking at the bond of friendship the two women were openly sharing. Though he has seen it every day in the studio, still the more he looked at them, the more he felt the air of impeccability of their relationship.   

"This looks good. You managed to bring it well", Li Xue, who has been staring at the prepared design for quite some time now, suddenly said, while unhooking her arms to touch the piece. 

Feng Yi Lan also followed her suit. "Huh? Do you really think so? Or are you just getting too confident in me?" 

Li Xue shook her head. "You think of me like that? I am really liking this piece and it's more suitable to the theme of the collection than the last one?" 

Of course, Li Xue has read the style combination of the event theme before and knows it well. She was unlike other models who never care to read the details of the event's theme. She has always preferred to read it well so that when she is sent to showcase the outfits of the stage, she knows what part of the dress should be highlighted to the audience. 

"Since you are telling me so, I am relieved. But then, what are you waiting for? We don't have time. Quickly, go and wear it. Hope it doesn't require any alteration. We can't afford taking more time now" Feng Yi Lan said, quickly taking the dress to hand it to Li Xue, before pushing her into the trial room. 

While at the same time, whispers were getting filled in the audience. Though in the beginning, the anchor had handled it well, as time progressed the people got a little desperate and bored. 

The anchor was about to lose his confidence on the stage under their murmurs when suddenly heard the running footsteps from behind. As if seen the light of hope in the darkness, he at once turned to look. His lips curled with relief when finally saw a staff giving a nod of continuation to him. 

Turning back to look at the crowd in dimmed darkness, he took a deep breath before saying, "Worthful are the fruits of patience! Thank you, dear audiences for bearing with me. But finally, it's time to bring the last themed outfit of today's event. Presenting the design of 'Amaranthine' from the year 2022 Spring Fashion Collection of Aurora." 

Li Xue was standing, dressed in the formal yet very unique design of qipao in the color of Neptune blue. Just the sophisticated shine of the fabric was enough to let people know the high quality of silk fabric that must have been used to prepare it. While the embroidered lotuses in the designs were screaming the meaning to the people. 

"Amaranthine is the design that is inspired with the thought of unfading beauty of the women. Be it in her young days, or at the peak of her maturity, or even after relaying all her duties – the beauty that one woman has, never depletes its charms. Her age grows but the beauty she holds inside her never fades away. Similar to the style of qipao presented by the brand of Aurora". The anchor summarized the thought behind the design as every eye fixated on the figure of Li Xue still standing at the beginning of the ramp stage. 

Her eyes were down on the floor, confusing the audience about her intentions behind the strange immobility on the stage. But just at the moment when everyone thought to voice out their doubt, their voice got stuck deep in their throat as the pair of shining ambers lifted to challenge everyone in the crowd. 

Li Xue's eyes were breathtaking in a unique shade of amber. Something in the shine of tempting fire, that has warmth as well as fierceness in it. None could think of matching those pairs without falling for them. Similar to some deadly trap that had no escape. And to the fortunate side, Li Xue knew about it well and also the way to use it in her favor. 

And right at the moment as well she was using it in her favor. Though Yi Lan has managed to complete the dress in time and her design was also well matched for the theme, still, it was not yet blended to perfection to present on the stage. If looked properly, anyone would be able to see the beginning flaws in it, which would be disastrous. 

So to prevent them from finding out the reality, she has thought to use her ways. Hoping that it could help the situation. Keeping everyone's gaze fixed on herself, Li Xue soon started her walk on the ramp, in a way where her trick wasn't too obvious. But just then, something happened that made Li Xue almost stop in her tracks.
