Chapter 216 Going on Stage

Grace breathed a sigh of relief. “That’s good.”

Then, she raised her eyes and noticed Benjamin on the stage. He was standing against the light, so she couldn’t see his face clearly. But she could hear his calm voice through her ́earpiece.

At that moment, she understood his intentions.

Benjamin’s speech lasted a full 15 minutes, far beyond the originally planned time.

However, the reporters in the audience didn’t feel bored because he talked about the future plans of Hawkins Group.

It was something that was closely related to the people present, especially those from Pamore. So everyone listened attentively.

“What’s going on, Director Walker? Why is Mr. Hawkins‘ speech taking so long?” Zane asked softly.

Samuel could guess that Benjamin was intentionally dragging his speech on, but he didn’t think that a little over ten minutes could change anything.

“Do you have a plan B?” he asked.

Zane replied confidently, “Don’t worry. We’re well–prepared. No matter what, this fashion show will be a disaster.”

Right after Benjamin finished his speech, the first group of models was ready to go on stage.

At this moment, a staff member rushed over. “We’ve got a problem, Ms. Lewis. The model in charge of the floral b*dycon dress injured her foot.”

Surprised, Grace quickly stood up. “What happened? Where is she?”

When she followed the staff member to a nearby dressing room, she found the model who was

supposed to wear the floral b*dycon dress. The latter was curled up on the floor.

She was in pain, and her foot was bleeding profusely.

“Quick, bring the first–aid kit over,” Grace called out. Soon, the staff member brought the first -aid kit.

“What happened? How did you get injured?”

“I don’t know. I was trying on high heels. There was a razor blade inside, and I got injured. It’s going to be my turn to go on stage soon. What should I do now that my foot is like this?”

At once, Grace’s heart sank.

It seemed that someone had deliberately planned this. She took a deep breath and asked, “Can you still walk?”

The modei shook her head.

On the side, Emily exclaimed, “This is a disaster! Where can we replace another model now? And it has to be someone who can wear the b*dycon dress.”

Grace looked at the b*dycon dress and had a bold idea. “Get the makeup artist to do my makeup.”

Once Grace said this, Emily immediately understood.

Her eyes suddenly brightened. “Right! Why didn’t I think of that? Gracie, you can do it! No one is more suitable than you.”

Grace replied with a soft hum.

They had to try whatever they could now.

On the stage, after the first group of models walked out, it had already created a small buzz. The audience and reporters present gasped when they saw the floral–themed clothes.

They were all amazed.

“Oh my God! Isn’t that the traditional pottery pattern? They actually used that to make clothes.”

“And it also incorporates the idea of puppet shows and traditional dances. That’s bold!”

“But honestly, these clothes look pretty good.”

Reporters snapped photos of each piece as the models walked on stage, afraid of missing any details.

“It’s amazing! Those aren’t clothes. They’re literally wearing art!”

“I swear, these clothes will definitely become popular.”

“It’s definitely something that will set a trend.”
