Chapter 258 Ruka Is Making Mischief Again
Skyler suddenly realized something. “Is it possible that Veronica is also here today, and thus you are here? I recall you being uninterested in this kind of jewelry exhibition.”
What he said was met with a wary look from Matthew.
With that, Skyler contracted his neck. He immediately fell silent as he remembered being thrown into the elevator by Troy earlier in the day.
If Veronica is present, where is she now? He wondered.
The models from Ivana’s company appeared one after the other. Everything went swimmingly under the music and stage lighting. At last, the final model on the runway was… Veronica.
“Oh sh*t. Matt, look at who that is?”
Skyler, who couldn’t find Veronica, looked up and saw the girl he was looking for on the runway. He recognized her at a glance since she had short black hair.
Tiffany, on the other hand, had chestnut-colored hair that reached to the waist, so the two were easily distinguished.
Skyler’s eyes widened when he saw Veronica. Matthew followed his gaze as well.
Veronica walked down the runway wearing a pair of ten-centimeter heels. She was dressed simply in a gray-black tube top dress with a pinched waist that was short in the front and long in the back. A few gray-white feathers adorned her left chest, and a large bow adorned her waist. She shone like a star in the galaxy under the bright light.
On top of her slender figure, she had high popularity in Bloomstead. Therefore, the audience was surprised and cheered as soon as she appeared.
“Oh my god, isn’t that Tiffany?”
“No, that’s Veronica. Can’t you tell?”
“She’s stunning, and she’s much taller than Tiffany.”
“Her figure is far superior to hers. She’s busty.”
…
Victoria’s appearance piqued everyone’s interest, and there was a lot of discussion.
Yvonne was the most nervous of them all. After all, she was well aware of Veronica’s inability to model. She simply volunteered to be a model for the fifty thousand.
The next moment, the light fell on Veronica, and Yvonne was stunned as she walked down the runway with her head held high.
Due to the enormous size of the exhibition hall, each model would be displayed directly on the big screen to avoid blurry images of the models and the jewelry they were wearing.
Veronica appeared on stage with perfect catwalk strides, her chest and head raised and her eyes fixed straight ahead while keeping her facial expression focused and poised.
When she walked, her hips were slightly tucked and her center of gravity was moderately forward. Moreover, her knees buckled inward when she strutted, and there was slight friction between her feet as she placed one foot in front of the other and kept her strides long and smooth.
Her catwalk appeared characteristic, and she looked photogenic on the big screen, leaving a remarkable impression.
This… This was a professional catwalk! Why did she claim she couldn’t model?
She was so good at pretending!
“Girly lied to me again!”
Veronica made Yvonne drop her jaw. A whole egg could fit in her mouth.
Veronica’s appearance surprised not only Tiffany, but also Matthew, Conrad, Skyler, and Caleb, who were sitting across from Tiffany.
“Damn, Matt. Is Veronica a model?” Sklyer’s eyes widened with amazement.
“Yes. When I first looked her up, I remembered that she was great at modeling. She even did a catwalk in school back then. She also worked as a part-time model while in college to help pay for her tuition.”
Caleb suddenly remembered that while he investigated her boyfriend, he also looked into her school life.
It was just that he initially thought that even though Veronica knew how to model, she might only be an amateur. Who would have guessed she was so professional?!
As he finished speaking, Matthew cast a sharp look at him, as if implying, “Why didn’t you tell me?”
Then, Matthew turned to look at the stage, captivated by the stunning woman.
What kind of surprises does this d*mn woman have in store for him?
At this moment, Conrad’s lips curled slightly, as if he had seen some prey that piqued his interest.
“She’s a very experienced model.”
“It turns out that Veronica is a model, and she’s really photogenic.”
“She looks fantastic on camera. She’s unquestionably a pro.”
“D*mn, she’s absolutely gorgeous. She is making the jewelry appear dull.”
…
Due to the fact that Veronica had recently been in the spotlight, she was familiar with the majority of the audience who had attended the show today and who were from Bloomstead’s upper classes.
Her professional modeling astounded many people.
However, just as everyone was expressing their feelings about her surprised runway walk, Veronica, who was cat walking, suddenly slumped and knelt on the spot. Her knees landed on the floor with a loud thud.
At that precise moment, the scene erupted with continuous gasping sounds. It hurt everyone to look at her, who had fallen.
Veronica looked down at the runway floor, only to see it split open owing to her accidental trip.
Her ten-centimeter heels suddenly snapped. Even though the situation was unexpected, it was natural for it to break because she had fallen so hard.
The music was still playing, and the model behind her walked by.
Ivana, who was standing backstage, was terrified and her heart twitched.
Her charismatic catwalk was overwhelming just moments before. Everyone was shocked to see her modeling until she collapsed. This made her so nervous that she couldn’t breathe.
Ruka, who was standing next to Ivana, raised her lips slightly, a smug look in her eye. Veronica, who are you to defeat me?
Among the audience, Matthew’s brow furrowed. When he saw Veronica’s fall, he almost ran to the runway, but he restrained himself.
The runway is sacred to a model, and he should not be there at this time.
However, just as everyone thought she couldn’t get up, they noticed her taking off the high heel that was broken, holding it in her hand, and standing up while fighting the pain in her knees.
Ouch.
Her body was trembling in pain, but…
Damn it. She had almost bagged the fifty thousand, so she could not back up now!
She pursed her lips and took only one second to relax her expression, returning to her natural facial expression as if there was no pain.
However, by the time she stood up, her knees were purple and swollen. One could imagine how hard she fell.
She endured the pain by having her arm akimbo and her high heel in the other. She was wearing high heels only on one foot, and she had her right foot on tiptoe before continuing to walk forward.
Even with one shoe missing, she maintained a steady walk, like a veteran who had been walking on the runway for many years, which was incredible.
She had a high heel in her hand, with the shoelace hanging on the back of her hand. Not only was the atmosphere not ruined, but she also managed to transform the high heel and make it look like she was carrying a bag. She looked sassy and beautiful!
She came to a halt in the middle of the runway, struck a pose, threw the shoe behind her shoulders, before raising her shoulders slightly and smiling.
At that moment, she looked like she was surrounded by a halo, making her the center of attention on stage.
Particularly when she looked back and smiled after throwing the shoe behind her shoulders. It was stylish, charming, and extremely attractive.
She then turned around and walked toward the center of the runway. As she passed by Yvonne, she threw her high heel at her.
Her unrestrained, cool, and inadvertent actions stole everyone’s hearts.
Ivana followed Veronica to the center of the runway and stood in front of the host.
