Chapter 5
The audience at the show all held their breaths as they looked forward to meeting Oli.
The designer, Oli, became famous five years ago and won a ton of awards in international fashion competitions. This allowed her to establish her status in the fashion industry within a short period of time.
The clothes she designed were exclusive to the Unique Beauty Company. Every piece became a fashion vane, and they would be sold out as soon as they were released. Many people in the fashion circle felt honored to own clothes that were designed by Oli.
"Blaze, do you think Oli is a man or a woman? I'm so nervous. I'm finally going to meet my idol."
Althea was so excited and couldn't wait to stand close to Oli.
Blaze had a straight face. He remembered that Astrid seemed to have worn a gown designed by Oli before. That was also the only time she wore a gown. Blaze felt that even the models tonight were no match for Astrid's beauty that day.
When Blaze came back to his senses, he shook his head. He didn't understand why he was thinking of Astrid.
At that moment, the lights of the venue were turned off. When Astrid was led to the stage entrance by Kevin, she took a deep breath to calm herself down.
Suddenly, the spotlight was turned on. Astrid was wearing a pair of ten-inch high heels, but her steps were steady. As the music sounded, she moved forward slowly.
As soon as she appeared in front of the crowd, they began to cheer for her.
Blaze was astonished the moment he saw her on the stage. The confusion in his eyes gradually turned into a cold gaze.
“What the hell?” Althea screamed and forgot to maintain her composure. It was obvious that she recognized Astrid as well.
"Blaze, that... that can't be Astrid, can it?"
Blaze stared at Astrid with sharp eyes.
His crippled ex-wife turned out to be a famous designer and was now standing under the spotlights! It was a very big surprise for him.
Astrid walked around the stage and explained the concepts of the designs of the clothes vividly, and the applause around her was deafening.
Suddenly, she felt a sharp gaze shooting toward her.
Astrid was now back in the middle of the stage and was facing the audience. As the lights on the venue were turned on, the crowd went into an uproar.
"Now, let me introduce our chief designer, Oli.
Surrounded by the models, Astrid walked around the stage again to express her gratitude to the audience. This time, she was able to make eye contact with the audience, which made the audience jump up from their seats excitedly.
"| didn't expect Oli to be so young. She has both the talent and the good looks."
"She's so perfect. She must have been blessed by god."
When Astrid looked at the middle of the first row in the audience, the smile on her face gradually froze.
She locked gazes with Blaze unexpectedly. She also saw Althea sitting beside Blaze with a surprised look on her face.
She didn't expect she would see her ex-husband and his lover within 24 hours of the divorce.
Blaze's appearance took her by surprise.
However, Astrid immediately regained her composure after being a little taken aback.
As soon as Blaze saw Astrid, he had a few questions that he wanted to ask.
Questions kept on popping up in his mind. At that moment, he realized that he seemed to have never tried to get to know Astrid in the past.
Astrid was still in a wheelchair yesterday, but was standing on her feet perfectly today. This meant that she had been lying to Blaze...
After the curtain call, Astrid didn't participate in the interview. Kevin knew she didn't like to do the speech, so he didn't force her.
"Kevin, get to work. I'm leaving."
"Honey, no. Since we don't meet so often why don't you just wait for me? Let's go to have a drink. I'm so happy tonight."
“Not tonight. I'm tired."
Astrid didnt want to meet Blaze as he would be very difficult to deal with.
"Alright. Send me a message when you get home. We must meet up tomorrow."
Kevin's assistant was urging him to meet the reporters as it was time for the interview.
Astrid hurriedly changed her clothes. Without even removing her makeup, she took off her high heels and walked toward the door.
“Astrid, your ex-husband is here." Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
Eddy went out and came back with a worried face.
“We're leaving!"
Astrid turned around and left the dressing room, but the outside had been cleared out. Only a group of men in black were guarding there.
They were able to catch her.
"Miss Graves, Mr. Cohen is waiting for you upstairs,’ Milo said respectfully and invited Astrid to go upstairs.
“What should we do?"
“Drive the car to the gate and wait for me there."
Astrid signaled Eddy not to be nervous. She had already divorced Blaze, so there was nothing to be afraid of.
Astrid followed Milo into the elevator to the VIP presidential suite on the top floor of the Lapper Hotel. As soon as she reached the door, she was dragged in by a hand as soon as she opened the door.
As a shadow loomed over her eyes, Blaze leaned over and cornered Astrid.
His familiar aura instantly enveloped her.
