"Don’t tter me now," Tracie said, pulling Anastasia along with her as they headed to the main event.


    Anastasia sighted Viviana already seated in her seat. Viviana was recently the newest global ambassador of Klerene, which was why she was allowed toe to the fashion show.


    Viviana met Anastasia’s gaze and thetter held it for a secondter before she tore her gaze away from Viviana to follow Tracie to go to their seats.


    Not long after, the show started with a breathtaking ocean-colored lights filling the room. The light roamed around the room before it settled on a figure. It was Ms. Klerene, the owner of the Klerene brand.


    She made a few speeches which included appreciating everyone seated foring to her fashion show.


    After cracking a few jokes here and there, the fashion show finally began.


    Anastasia stared at the marvelousdies who wore the beautiful pieces that made them shine so bright in the dimly lit room as they walked their way on stage, posed, and walked back with grace.


    Anastasia couldn’t help but be awed at how well they were walking with those gigantic heels. She subconsciously felt the ache in her legs on their behalf.


    Towards the end of the fashion show, Anastasia received a phone call.


    She already knew who was calling since she’d set apletely different ringtone most especially for that particr number.


    She whispered something in Tracie’s ears and thetter nodded.


    Anastasia left the hall and went to a corner to pick up Xavier’s call.


    "Is the fashion show over?" He asked as soon as the call connected.


    "Almost. Have you arrived at the hotel?"


    "Yeah! The bodyguards are already in the car waiting for you." His voice sounded naughty and Anastasia caught herself smiling like a fool.


    She hummed then hung up on the call. Unbeknownst to her, someone was already listening to her conversation.


    Just when she was about to leave, she suddenly felt dizzy, the background turned blurry as she tried to find her bearings.


    Quickly, Anastasia held onto the door until the dizziness had cleared.


    "What’s happening to metely?" She wondered, gulping down her saliva as she suddenly felt the urge to throw up.


    After making sure she was better, she headed out.


    By the time Anastasia went back to the hall, the fashion show was already over. She nced around but couldn’t find Viviana anywhere.


    She reminded herself she needed to escape before Ms. Klerene started looking for her.


    Once she sighted the woman, she hid behind someone. Then she found Tracie and whispered something in thetter’s eyes one more time which got her giggling.


    "Alright, you can go. In case Ms. Klerene starts looking for you, I will tell her you have a stomach ache and you needed to rush back to the hotel."


    Anastasia appreciated Tracie for her cooperation and quickly left the hall to go down the lobby where her car and her bodyguards were waiting since she forbade them from following her into the hall.


    "Let’s go back to the hotel," she instructed.


    When Anastasia got to the hotel, she suddenly felt dizzy again.


    If she hadn’t been feeling sick for the past few days, she would have already concluded that Viviana might have spiked her drink. Even so, she recalled she didn’t drink anything except water for the fear she would only get more sick.


    However, Anastasia continued to push herself until she reached her floor. When she did, she recognized a familiar figure standing in front of her hotel room—where Xavier was waiting for her.


    Anastasia sized Viviana up, taking in the skimpy clothes thetter was wearing which waspletely different from what she’d worn at the fashion show.


    Anastasia marched up to the girl and yanked her hair back, drawing out a painful scream from thetter.


    "What do you think you’re doing here wearing that kind of dress?!" She questioned, not minding her reputation as she pulled Viviana’s hair with a tight grip.


    Xavier opened the door, only to be shocked when he found Anastasia in a fight with an unknowndy.


    Quickly, he pulled her away and settled her beside him.


    The bodyguards assigned to Anastasia immediately held Viviana, stopping her from escaping if she nned to.


    "This bitch wants to seduce you, Xavier," Anastasia said, trying to calm herself down.


    "Are you crazy? Have you lost it? I’m going to sue you for harassment," Viviana threatened, eyes shooting daggers at Anastasia.


    "I would love to see you try," Xavier growled.
