BXBX NOVEL Chapter 134 - Overwhelmed
"Ms Han, is the rumour about you and Mr Bai true?"
"How long have you two been dating?"
"Were you purposely hiding your relationship?"
Just then Shaofengs bodyguard quickly blocked the reporters.
Grabbing Yifies hand, Shaofeng guided her towards the car which was waiting for them but as soon as they had successfully passed through the reporters, a huge crowd of crazy fans surrounded them. They were all squealing and jumping in excitement, shouting out Yifie's name. Shaofeng frowned when one of her male fans tried to pounce upon her, despite the guard blocking them.
Wrapping his arms around her shoulder, Shaofeng protectively guided her towards the car, making sure that no one dared to come close to her.
Seeing the most trending couple in such an intimate position, the reporters and fans got crazy. They snapped multiple pictures of them until they entered the car.
…..
Inside the car.
Gesturing the chauffeur to leave, Shaofeng asked Yifie, "Are you okay?"
She took a breath and nodded her head. "I am alright, in fact, I am used to all of this but what about you? Are you fine?"
"Apart from the fact that something like this never happened with me, I just realised that the life of celebrities isn't as easy as I thought."
Yifie chuckled and nodded her head, "Hmm, it's not as easy as you think."
"I can see that."
"I think we managed to make it in the trending list again." Without waiting for his reply, she added, "I am sorry, I know you don't like being the centre of attraction but I ended up pulling you into another scandal consequently. I wanted to make up for the first one but completely ruined everything again."
Keeping quiet for quite some time, he said, "So I guess one meal isn't enough."
She smiled and nodded her head. "I guess not."
"How about we go for lunch now and for dinner tomorrow?" Shaofeng asked.
"Hmm, sounds interesting but what if we end up getting spotted everytime we go out?" She asked.
"Then I guess this sharing a meal together thing is never going to end."
Smiling at him, Yifie said, "That sounds even more interesting."
….
Bruce's show
Backstage.
The backstage as usual was messy and bustling with people rushing from one end to the other. The models were busy getting ready while a bunch of makeup artists and designers were helping them out.
Looking around, Suyan felt very overwhelmed. She missed this noisy clustered place a lot. She was the most trending model a few years back and if her family wouldn't have forced her to give up her career only because they thought it was a very lowly profession which would bring their family name down, she would've been at the top by now.
"Woah, this place is noisy." Looking around, Nuying asked, "Where is Bruce?"
"He should be somewhere here."
"Ahh Ms Yang, thank God you are here." Bruce's assistant, Mary breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the three angels who could actually save her from her boss's wrath.
"Woah, you look very stressed Mary, what happened?" Meili asked.
"Boss is super angry and is lashing out at us."
"Why? What happened?" Ning asked.
Massaging her forehead, Mary explained, "Our shows topper is missing and now we found out that she missed her flight so she won't be able to make it on time. The show will start in 30 minutes and we don't have a showstopper. Boss is super stressed and I don't know what to do."
"Oh God, this sounds very stressful."
"Where is Bruce?" Ning asked.
"I'll take you there."
…..
"No no no, you are doing it wrong. Ahh this is horrible, you just leave, go away." Bruce shouted.
Sitting on the couch, he massaged his forehead and sighed.
"Bruce." Sitting down beside him, Ning asked, "Hey, are you okay?"
"Ahh Ning, Mei, Nu, you all are here." Giving them a hug, he added, "Ahh I am not okay, not at all okay. Everything is bad and my show is a huge flop because I don't have a showstopper. This was supposed to be one of the best shows ever but now it's all gone."
Rubbing the side of his arm, Meili tried to calm him down. "Hey, it's alright. I am sure that there is a way out of this."
Bruce vigorously shook his head and groaned in frustration, "No there isn't, how am I supposed to find an experienced model in such a short time? Unless, any of you are willing to volunteer for me."
"What? But we have no experience in modelling so how are we supposed to do it?" Nuying asked.
Ning thought for her while before something hit her like a rock. Looking at Meili who had the same amusement on her face, she smiled.
"Ahh here I am struggling and look at you both, smiling at my misery. So now tell me who is willing to volunteer for our friendship?" Bruce asked.
"Well, I am sorry Bruce but I don't think so we can help you with this. We have no experience in modeling and even if we force ourselves to do it, it will definitely turn out to be a disaster. But I do know someone who can help you out with this."
"Who?"
When Ning and Meili turned towards Suyan and smiled, she widened her eyes in shock.
Looking at Suyan, Bruce gasped, "She is perfect, that dress will look flawless on her. Ahh her body is so much better than the model I had selected." Grabbing Suyans hand, he asked, "Are you a model? Do you know how to walk on the ramp?"
Suyan nodded her head and said, "I do but—"
Cutting her off, Bruce excitedly clapped his hands. "Brilliant, let Mary help you with the dress."
