H.U.R.T
Fashion Event

"Steve's! Why didn't you say you were coming here?" Oleshia was writhing in her arms. They led him into the house. Oleshia no longer lives in the old shabby house. She built a big house for her family. There were three special nurses to look after Alea. The little girl is now an adult. Seen in a wheelchair while playing a cell phone.

"I'm giving you a surprise." He spoke without letting go of his gaze from Alea. "What did Alea do?"

Oleshia smiled, "While playing the game. I taught him and he learned it quickly. Ale, look who's coming. Do you still remember that?"

Alea turned his head, the girl's forehead looking wrinkled, trying to recall Steve's figure. "Stevens?"

"How are you? I'm glad you remember me, Alea."

"Shia always tells me about you."

"What did your brother say? Adored me?"

Oleshia hit her arm spoiled. "You are a man worthy of worship. Sam says you got a cut on the back. Is it treated?"

"Sam always big mouth. Are you gonna stay here?" Steven scanned the luxurious room. It's not just him who has changed. Oleshia's life was like that too. The two of them are no longer poor men who always get humiliation. But what good would this power be if those bitter memories were still left behind. The memories that shaped him became worse.

Oleshia shook her head, "It's not tomorrow."

Steve nodded. Yes, he uses Oleshia as his flagship model. How Lexi responded when she saw Oleshia who was so similar to Olivia. No one knows about Olivia's life having a twin sister other than her. Who cares about their old life? Living below the poverty line.

"You sure you want to perform?" He has to make sure Oleshia is ready. The appearance of Oleshia tomorrow will obviously make everyone surprised and react.

"of course. I want to look perfect."

"I didn't see your father?" Steve changed the subject. Oleshia's answer was clear. His girlfriend will perform tomorrow.

"He's in the room. Not feeling well. Do you want to say hello?"

"Let him rest."

"Alright, I'll take Alea to the room. After that we'll go home."

Fashion has begun. Located in one of the best hotels. Events conducted every two years. Both Lexi and Steve will donate the proceeds to nursing homes as well as abandoned children. Not all designers can participate. This time, Lexi was lucky to join us. This is his dream. One of the many dreams he had.

Amidst the happiness he felt, he was also attacked by fear. The preparations he had been doing for months were falling apart. Immediate preparations were only done for an entire week. He didn't expect much, just that he didn't want any of his models to make mistakes. Although it is very unlikely considering the model besukannya not the experts.

The furore in the dressing room drained his emotions a bit. He hasn't even had time to fill out his peerage. Lexi was too busy preparing everything to be perfect. Starting from the hair, make up is also another small thing. Not everything escaped Lexi's attention.

"Smile slightly. Don't be so tense. Instead of being a dress model, you look like a stranded polar bear." Lexi pulled the corners of her brother Darren's lips together to form a smile.

Due to the cancellation of cooperation by Justin unilaterally, Lexi was forced to hire the services of her brothers, friends and business partners to serve as an impromptu model. Darren is one of them.

"Why should I smile when nothing is funny." If it wasn't for Lexi being the sister she loved, I swear to whatever, Darren refused to be styled on stage in front of the crowd. Darren's principle, his face and body is not to be exhibited, marketed or any other similar term. His body and face were only to be enjoyed. Enjoyed a certain and chosen person.

"Your up then. Without smiling, your face is also attractive." Lexi patted her brother's cheek before turning towards Austin who was pounding charm on the female model.

Compared to Darren, Austin did it willingly. Not because she loves fashion or modeling. But by participating, in addition to relieving the brother's grief, for him this event is the same as a vacation. His eyes were fresh looking at the models who were clear. And every event that Lexi participated in, there was always a woman who managed Austin to conquer with his charm.

"Austin! Stop seducing those women. They're older than you. Holy jeez!" Lexi pulled her sister's hand away from the crowd of giggling models. I don't know what his sister said this time. Austin's mouth is sweet as honey but also venomous as poison.

"Ck! You're so possessive." Austin broke away from the crowd, walked over to the older brother and grabbed Lexi by the neck.

"You're strangling me, damn it!" Lexi pinched her sister's arm to loosen her embrace. At the age of 23-year-old Austin, the height of the man was equivalent to Darren.190 cm. Lexi's just their armpits. "Steep your clothes. I don't want to know, you have to make the clothes you wear become a trendsetter."

"Safe" he said lightly. "Hey, Dude, why is your face so tense. You need my tips," Austin blurted. The bruises on his face did not dampen his spirit. Lexi's top makeup artist managed to cover up the bruises on Austin's face.

Seeing Darren depressed was something fun because such a thing was rare. Darren is a typical person who is able to overcome his difficulties easily. Or maybe the guy never had any trouble.

"Ck! Which makes me wonder when this will end." Darren snorted in annoyance.

"It hasn't even started yet." Austin chuckled with Lexi. "She seems to be nervous."

"I'm gonna pull my shares from your company, Lexi."

Darren's call just took away the laughter on Lexi's face. The girl hit her sister's arm. "It's your fault!"

"Diancam just like that you're scared. You just have to whine to Mommy to be willing to persuade Daddy to plant a stake there."

"I heard you lost a bet on the racecourse, Aus, and your car was in trouble."

"Hais, actually she has how many pairs of eyes. Nothing escapes his attention." Austin leaves Lexi to approach his brother. Embrace Darren's shoulder familiarly. Give him a massage there. "I know you won't let me in trouble, my dear brother. Please redeem my beloved car." Lamborghini Veneno is a car that he put in a wild racing event that he participated in. Naas, he lost last night. A new player got rid of him.

"Am I late?"

Someone's voice caught their attention. Brian waved his hand, greeting Darren who put on a gluttonous face.

"Oh, have you come? No, you're not late." Lexi smiled broadly at Brian's arrival.

"Why is he here?" Darren pulled Lexi to stand by his side.

"I invited your sister, Dude. Just like you, I'll market the clothes. Ck! Come on, Darren, stop acting like I'm the enemy you need to look out for."

"Stop approaching Lexi if you don't want me to be wary of."

Brian was not offended at all.

"Are you not listening to me anymore, Lexi. Stop connecting with Brian." Darren looked at his sister intimidatedly.

"Jeez, me and Brian are just friends, Darren."

"You don't need a fucking friend, Lexi." Darren chose to retreat before his anger began to be provoked.

Steve watches Lexi's every move from a distance. Right now, the girl is putting a tie around the neck of Brian, the future mayor. The nose is unreadable. And then he gave a meaningful smile. I don't know what he's planning in his mind. Only he and God know.

Leaving his legs leisurely, he approached the woman.

"You're pretty good at collecting some male models in a pretty short amount of time. Is that a hidden skill you have, Ms. Williamson?"

Lexi turned to the source of the voice, her eyebrows raised as soon as she saw Steven's figure, as soon as she snorted away her face. "Are you so relaxed that you're floating me here instead of taking care of your models?"

"I have assistants and employees to handle such trivial matters. My job is just to wait for the end result" said the man deliberately acting presumptuous.

"Who are you?" Brian who had been silent listening to the conversation between Lexi and Steven began to be caught off guard by the man's attitude. "You're the man who saved Lexi the other day?"

"I have some unemployed employees in the next room. If you need help, I can have them come to help you." Instead of responding to Brian's remarks, Steven actually invited Lexi to speak.

"Thank you for your offer, Mr. Dixton Ivarez." Lexi revealed a faint smile that seemed contrived. He refused to mention the man's name. Steven's name only fits his male name. Lexi took a deep breath. Every thought of that man. It still feels the same. Sick and longing.

"For you I give you free and free."

Lexi ignored the man's statement and busied herself with Brian's tie knot, which she had somehow opened.

"You think he needs your help?" Brian sneered.

"Lexi-is,"

"I'm talking to you, motherfucker!" Brian pushed Steve's body against the wall.

"In my ear you sound like you're barking." Steve throws Brian's hand in one stroke. "I don't respond to animals, except my pet."

Brian's face was red. No one has dared to equate himself all this time with a man.

"You're looking for something to do with me?!"

Steve shook his head casually while shaking his index finger. Then he brought his mouth closer to Brian's. "I'm watching you."
