Please behave My Lord novel Chapter 15

Chapter 15: Attending the fashion show in place of the model

The semi-finished dress was gold in color, Mariana preserved the original tone and cut off all additional embellishments, better revealing its exquisite design and outlining more perfectly the beautiful figure of the woman.

Even when she was standing still, she had a bright and striking nobility.

After a few seconds of silence from those present, someone took the initiative to exclaim:

-My God, how impressive this dress is!

-In such a short time, it's incredible!

Not only were the spectators amazed, but even the person in charge of the room, Mr. Raven, also nodded repeatedly with appreciation, and his gaze could not help but turn to Mariana.

He had realized from the beginning that this designer was not only superbly talented, but that her looks and figure were hardly less impressive than those of the models present.

The standing man watching from a distance stubbed out his cigarette and intently observed the situation there, surprise still present in his expression.

It was as if I was meeting this woman for real for the first time.

As the voices of admiration around her reached her ears, Andrea clenched her fists only to feel a burning pain in her face; and noticing that all eyes stopped on Mariana, she became even more indignant inside.

-This outfit is really nice, but I think that...

She barely managed to suppress her discontent and had to find some flaws in the dress. "I must not allow myself to let Mariana get away with this!"

-I think it's very good, it doesn't need any further modification.

Before she could finish her comment, Mr. Raven interrupted her first, directly approving of the dress and completely ignoring Andrea who became suddenly obnoxious.

-Well, thank you Mr. Raven.

Mariana was immediately relieved and went back to the dressing room trying to take it off.

But at the moment, someone rushed up to Mr. Raven from outside and said in a panicked, urgent voice:

-Mr. Raven, something went wrong, the model, Judy, has accidentally fallen. She has been taken to the hospital in time, but it will definitely affect the show.

-What?

Mr. Raven's expression changed and he said calmly and decisively:

-Fix the replacement immediately and find another model to take over!

-It is impossible, Mr. Raven. The launch will start soon and the other models will not be able to arrive at this time.

It was only ten minutes before the launch, and with all the guests out and the roads full of cars, it would be too late despite getting a model to attend.

Mr. Raven rubbed his brow in annoyance, not expecting such a thing to suddenly happen at the last moment.

Just as the matter was at a standstill, he turned his head and saw Mariana's back as she was carrying her skirt towards the changing room and suddenly something occurred to him.

-Miss Ortiz, one second please.

-Mr. Raven, is there anything else?

Mariana stopped her step in confusion.

He walked before her, examined her calmly and, soon after, a look of satisfaction appeared in his eyes.

-Mr. Raven, what is it?

Mariana felt a little uncomfortable at the sight of him.

-Nothing.

Raven smiled, with a certain helplessness in her expression.

-I was just told that there is a model who can't come because of an accident, so I would love Miss Ortiz to help us with this fashion show.
