Chapter 37: Highly express love
Carrie searched for a long time in the costume group before she found a soft green cut-out dress with a fully exposed back.
Blanche Capra looked at the dress and found it difficult: this one and the previous one were similar in colour, but the styles were not the same at all! And it didn’t fit in with the theme of the show.
Carrie looked at Blanche Capra’s expression, she was slightly embarrassed, holding the soft green dress, and smiled shyly towards Blanche Capra.
“Miss Capra, I’m so sorry. I searched for a long time in the costume team, and this is how I found this barely usable dress. It was our mistake to lose the dress this time, I will review myself. The runway show is about to start soon, do you think you can manage to wear it first?”
Blanche Capra looked at Carrie running back and forth for her clothes, and now even her clothes were a little wet with sweat, and then she apologised sincerely. I couldn’t say anything more difficult.
What’s more, what she said is not without reason, now leaving the venue is left half an hour of time. Even if she went to look for clothes again, it would be too late–did she really want to miss this good opportunity because of her clothes?
Of course she couldn’t! So Blanche Capra looked at the dress, gritted her teeth, closed her eyes, and took it to go to the cloakroom to change into it.
One by one, people were already coming on stage to perform their shows, and Blanche Capra’s hands were sweating: there was no telling what would happen if she went out in a dress that didn’t fit with the theme.
Finally it was Blanche Capra’s turn to walk the runway, a perfect professional smile on her face but nervous as hell inside, especially after seeing York Charlie at the front of the stage, sitting in the first row of the VIP seats.
“York, look at that dress she’s wearing. It might as well not be worn at all. The theme of this show is Pure Beauty Princess, and she’s dressed like a sultry showgirl.”
Shireen Miller was surprised for a moment when she saw Blanche Capra come out: she had no clothes left for the show and she was still able to go on, she had really underestimated her!
But when she saw the clothes Blanche Capra was wearing, she couldn’t help but laugh out loud: what kind of clothes are they wearing? It was revealing to say the least, and didn’t fit in with the theme of the show at all!
But when she saw the reaction of the crowd on the floor, and saw the amazement in York Charlie’s eyes, she couldn’t help but be furious: Bitch! Just a man hitting on a man!
Blanche Capra also saw the contempt and disdain in Shireen Miller’s eyes, but she didn’t mean to dress like that, and when she saw how silent the stage was, she immediately panicked. However, someone quickly defused the awkward situation.
“little sweetheart, 999 roses for you, may you always be as beautiful as roses!” Lorcan George walked towards the stage as the crowd was lost in thought and walked up to Blanche Capra and presented a large bouquet of roses.
Lorcan George had thought about preparing to support Blanche Capra when she told him she was going to be on stage for the show, and, of course, had the intention of expressing his love.
It was the perfect time to send it up: both to help Blanche Capra defuse the embarrassment and take the attention away from her off-topic dress, and to make her feel honoured.
Sure enough, Blanche Capra smiled gratefully at Lorcan George, “Thank you.”
Thank you indeed, or I might have lost my cool, or even been at a loss for words.
The bouquet of flowers recomposed me and gave me a moment to catch my breath.
It was then that York Charlie turned his attention from Blanche Capra to Lorcan George: what a surprise that he, who has never been a fan of this sort of thing, would attend this launch because of Blanche Capra, right?
Both this WAIA catwalk and the launch party later were broadcast live on the internet.
So many netizens exploded when they saw Lorcan George throwing his weight around for Blanche Capra, and the pop-ups were flying.
“Woah woah woah, what do I see? A rich kid throwing his money away for his confessional girlfriend?”
“Oh my gosh oh my gosh, is this the living version of the bully boy routine?”
“Wow wow wow, that girl is so happy. If there is a boy who is willing to do this for me like this, I must marry him!”
“666 ah, a tycoon brother chasing a girl is one word, “Magnificent”!”
“Hahaha, that’s two words for you upstairs!”
…
Everything on the internet Blanche Capra knows nothing about, she is now trying with all her heart to persuade Lorcan George, “Lorcan, this is the first and last time, don’t ever spend money on me like this again.”
Lorcan George was willing to go out on a limb for himself, Blanche Capra would be lying if she said she wasn’t touched, but she and he were only friends after all. It just wasn’t worth it to have him spend so much for himself, to the point of wasting his family’s money, so to speak.Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.
This time things have already happened, now say what to complain about his broken words would be too false. Irretrievably she said no more, only hoping that Lorcan would never do it again.
Lorcan George had just followed Blanche Capra all the way backstage after she had left the stage. He thought that Blanche Capra would be delighted and even touched, but he didn’t expect her reaction to be so bland, just a faint smile and no more joyful look.
He gambled and said to Blanche Capra: “Little sweetheart, I am willing to spend money for you. It’s none of your business how I spend my money.”
Blanche Capra was momentarily speechless as she watched him gamble like a child.
She wanted to talk to him again, but before she could persuade him, Carrie sent her out to wait for the results of the runway show she had just seen.
That’s right, this runway show was not only the first show of the launch, but it would also be like a competition to choose the first, second, third popularity prizes and other models.
Blanche Capra only felt that she had no chance, she came out purely to mix up the number of people: this debut show had invited a lot of domestic super first-tier models, and even the world’s famous models. With these people around, where else would those awards be given to her, a small model who was as unknown as a passer-by?
“Next I announce that the winner of the WAIA catwalk super popular model award is–”
The host on the stage followed the usual practice of leaving the audience in suspense, but Blanche Capra didn’t feel nervous at all. Because these awards are basically given to those famous models, she is not even a runner. It was the director who gave her the chance to participate in the show.
“Blanche Capra! Miss Capra! Congratulations!”
Hearing her name from the host’s mouth, for a moment Blanche Capra’s entire body froze: how could she not have thought she would win the award?
She still had a surreal feeling when the spotlight shone on her.
When she was wheeled on stage by Lorcan George to receive her award, she was so confused that she didn’t even know what she had said in thanks.
It was only when she was sitting in Lorcan George’s car that the memories slowly came back to her blank head.
“Oh my God, Lorcan I wasn’t just dreaming was I? I won an award! I won the WAIA catwalk trophy!” Blanche Capra exclaimed with a somewhat out-of-control glee.
Lorcan George couldn’t help but laugh at her joyful expression, “Yes, you weren’t dreaming… the WAIA catwalk award, you got it. So happy na?”
“Of course.” Blanche Capra thought about it carefully suddenly remembering Lorcan George’s bouquet of flowers on stage: could that have been the effect of that?
She then remembered what she was going to say to Lorcan George backstage but didn’t get to say, “Lorcan, I know I can’t get this popularity award without the credit of the flowers you just gave me while I was walking down the runway. Honestly, I’m so happy that you would do that. Because I was …”
Said she as she told Lorcan George all about her dilemma and the accident that happened backstage before the show.
“This bouquet of flowers from you not only calmed me back down, but also gave me face. I like it very much, but it’s such a big expense. 999 roses, it’s such a waste. Think about it, I don’t have much use for that many flowers at once, and they’ll wilt in a few days, so what a waste. Just do it once in a while, so don’t do it next time. Got it?”
“Well, I know. It’s just a figure of speech, so I won’t do it next time.”
Lorcan George was reluctant to hear Blanche Capra’s advice at first, but felt elated when he heard her explain why: so little sweetheart was afraid of spending money on herself and didn’t object to her spending money on her, right?
Blanche Capra would have thrown up in her mouth if she had known what he was thinking: she just didn’t want Lorcan George to waste any more of the family’s money on her, but she was afraid that he would be offended, so she used a more euphemistic way of putting it!
