Chapter 17
He didn’t want to do that. However, it was better to wash the underpants for three months than to be the laughingstock of the school.
“Show me your design.” Elizabeth helped Steven sort out the situation. Tell the stylist and the makeup artist to see me. And have your assistant tell me the order of appearance and competition rules. We are short on time. Didn’t you say it would start at seven in the evening? It’s noon now. I have to get familiar with everything first.”
What Elizabeth said made Steven stunned. She arranged everything in order as if she was a supermodel.
The thought lasted only for a moment. Elizabeth was just an ignorant woman raised by the York family. Steven thought she knew nothing.
“Don’t waste time. You’d better go back. Don’t embarrass me here. I’ll go to wash the underpants.”
It seemed that Steven was ready to give up.
Elizabeth grew up in the York family and knew Steven well. He was arrogant and spoiled. However, he was loyal to Samuel. Therefore, Steven hated her because of Samuel.
“Don’t you think it’s a pity that you’ve surrendered before starting? Elizabeth tried to provoke Steven. “Or do you think that you can’t deal with a trifle without the help of the York family?”
“Damn it! You are talking nonsense.”
Elizabeth narrowed her eyes. She didn’t like Steven’s foul language.
Steven stayed at school but learned nothing useful. It was reasonable that he didn’t have a girlfriend.
Seeing Elizabeth’s sharp eyes, Steven smacked his lips. “I’m doing it for you. You don’t need to be ashamed.”
“Since you don’t need my help, it’s OK.” Elizabeth gave Steven a disdainful glance. “You deserve to be a coward who washes underpants for others.”
With that, Elizabeth turned around and was about to leave. She wouldn’t be there if it were not for Tomas‘ sake.
In the past four years, Elizabeth had walked the catwalk for countless supermodels.
Elizabeth did not want the Yorks to know that. Otherwise, she wouldn’t conceal her identity. Then, she didn’t need to do that for others.
Steven said viciously. “Who is a coward? Alright. I will give you the chance to walk the catwalk. Don’t say that I do not keep my promises and look down on you.
“Elizabeth, remember that I allow you to do that because I don’t want to be a coward. You have to bear the result, and it has nothing to do with me.”
Chapter 17
“Are you sure?” Elizabeth raised her eyebrow. “If I win, will the prize belong to me alone?
“Don’t go back on your word.”
Steven was speechless and believed something was wrong with Elizabeth’s mind.
How could she win? It would be nice if she didn’t get ridiculed.
Steven could only accept what had happened and asked his assistant to come to see Elizabeth.
Elizabeth had no time to have lunch and discussed with Steven’s assistant what to do. She also studied Steven’s
design carefully.
The assistant took Elizabeth backstage, and several of Steven’s friends came to watch.
Steven’s assistant was also a student in the School of Design. His name was Hugo Vincent. He was the assistant arranged by the school for the contestants. He was a gentle and handsome boy with excellent academic performance. Elizabeth thought he was pure.
A boy like Hugo must be popular in school.
“Miss Jones, that’s all. Do you have any questions?” Hugo asked politely.
“Not right now. I’ll look at Steven’s design and come to you if I have any questions.”
“OK.”
Hugo lifted his glasses and turned to leave.
Steven’s friends gasped at the door. They didn’t expect Elizabeth’s voice to be so sweet.
When Hugo came out, they all followed him and asked, “Hugo, is that woman beautiful?”
‘Yes.‘ Hugo blushed.
“Steven has a problem with his eyesight. He lied to us.”
“Let’s date her after the competition,” The boys said in unison.
Hugo left quietly, holding the information. He didn’t like to stay with them and didn’t want Elizabeth to be bullied, so he had to find a way to tell her about that.
Elizabeth carefully studied the jewelry designed by Steven. It was a silvery bracelet. Because he was a student, the material was common, but the design was novel. Elizabeth could hardly believe it was Steven’s idea.
Elizabeth put on the bracelet. It fit her well.
Under the light, the silvery bracelet glistened. On her fair wrist, it was as if made for her.
It was so beautiful.
Chapter 17
Elizabeth’s face creased into a smile. Her two dimples were charming.
Samuel stood outside the door and saw Elizabeth’s face in the mirror. He was stunned for a moment.
He couldn’t help but wonder whether the woman was Elizabeth.
Samuel and Elizabeth grew up together. He never gave her a second look. However, the woman in front of him was different from Elizabeth, who blushed and couldn’t speak when she saw him.
What happened in the past four years? How could a woman change so much?
Elizabeth looked up and saw a familiar figure in the mirror. The face, the shape…..
Was it Samuel?
