H.U.R.T
The Fashion 3

"It looks like my weight is increasing, this shirt feels cramped."

Lexi did not hear Lily's babbling, her eyes were busy reading one word at a time written on the piece of paper inside the parcel. A threat.

"Love letter?"

Lily's question awakened Lexi from the momentary tension she felt. Weaknesses that never change at all. Directly affected once received a threat. Lexi published a smile that actually looked strange because both of her lips were already trembling. Embarrassed? Will he really be humiliated?

"What's wrong?" Darren who had just entered the room immediately realized the fear that was emanating on his sister's face.

Lexi shook her head, "I'm just nervous. I'm afraid you and Austin are making a mistake."

"Just walk on stage, it's not hard for me, Austin." Looked at Lexi's face carefully. Darren was convinced that the nervousness his sister was experiencing was not about it. Thenwhat?

"Okay, it's time." The cry of someone distracted their attention. Darren, Austin, Lily and other models will be in action. Same with other designer models.

Lexi's watching from behind the scenes. Referee with the threat he got. However, after fifteen minutes had passed, everything still looked calm, safe and in control. There is no sign there will be a furore. That doesn't make Lexi calm down. His eyes were not only centered on his models. Austin did well, and so did Darren. Brian is too. All male models do very well. Awe is clearly visible in the eyes of the invitees. Whether it's because of Lexi's design or because of her model's good looks. Whatever the reason, Lexi doesn't want to get dizzy. To him, the three men did not make trouble was enough.

His eyes scanned the invited guests. Nothing suspicious. His father waved his hand along with his mother who threw a kiss away. It's relieving. His mother and father were there. What else will he fear. But still he was disturbed by the phrase sponsor which is the reason why the design is here.

The spectators suddenly shrieked in shock simultaneously. Lexi felt her heart pounding incoherently. Focusing his attention on the stage, he was shocked. The manic is perfect.

"What the fuck?"

"Why is there the same design?"

Yes, Lily's clothes are exactly the same as the design worn by one of Steve's models.

Highlight camera lights instantly flooded Lily and Steven's model. Lexi searched around for the figure of the man and found Steve sitting with a flat expression watching the two models who also looked equally surprised.

Lexi has to ask Steve for an explanation. Why could his design be plagiarized by that man! He had to sue Steve! With anger, he moved quickly. Before he managed to get in front of the man, Lily's screams managed to stop his steps.

Lexi looked quickly. The manicure is back perfectly rounded. The seams come off, showing Lily's upper body.

"Jeez," Lexi ran onto the stage. Screaming asked his crew to turn off the lights and pick up the cover cloth.

Fortunately Darren acted swiftly. Take off her suit to protect Lily.

"Lily, are you okay?" Lexi covers both cheeks of her best friend who looks pale. Staring concerned. Why is the shirt the same, why does the stitch come off? Is this the nightmare that the thief is referring to?

Lexi shook her head. Trying to shake off his fear. It was not the time to think of her, Lily was being shaken. Lexi suspects that Lily is ashamed of the exposed body parts. But Darren knew the problem wasn't just embarrassment. The model wearing the same design that Lily wore was none other than Oleshia. Lexi is so focused on Lily that she is unaware of Oleshia's presence and Darren doesn't want Lexi to see her face. Healing Lexi from her nightmares took a lot of effort. Her family was devastated, and Lexi even considered herself crazy. Darren doesn't want Oleshia's presence to be bad for Lexi.

"Lexi, let's go." Darren pulled his hand slightly strongly.

Lexi nodded, she led Lily to come with her.

"Are you the designer?" Oleshia asked.

The question stopped Lexi's steps. Yeah, he can't leave now. He should explain this. Showing proof that the design was his was not stolen.

"No. I have to finish it now."

"No, Lexi. Not now!"

"That guy stole my design, Darren. I have to sue him!" Lexi threw Darren's hand off his shoulder. As he turned around, his face hit the chest that was so field and sturdy. Lexi looked up, her anger instantly flaring up. Steve stood high up in front of him.

"You did it on purpose?!" point at the girl with great anger. "You stole my design?!"

"You can't just accuse me. What if I asked you the same question. You're the one who stole my design, Ms. Willson?" the man's mimic was flat unreadable. His gaze was cold and sharp.

"I'm not a thief!"

"Go back." he said in a heavy voice.

"No, before you give me an explanation!"

"Later."

"Now!"

"Lexi, we better go. Listen to me!" A sharp sting was heard from behind his back. "Your friend will fall unconscious if we don't leave immediately."

Lexi turned her head, sure enough, Lily looked even more pale. "I'll sue you, Dixton Ivarez!"

Steve nodded, "My advice, don't do that if you don't want to bear the shame."

Lexi's nose deflates anger. Whether the piece of paper came from the man before him.

"Lexy." Darren's call was getting impatient. With a heavy heart, Lexi finally turned around after casting a drawn gaze towards Steven.

"Lexi Stevani Willson, isn't this a very shameful act."

What else now? Darren swore. They don't want to stop their steps. Lily's been taken over by one of the staff.

Brian was standing on stage haughtily. So nauseating.

"I seem to admire so much that I feel ashamed. You act like a holy woman who sells expensive. It turns out you're nothing like a ludicrous wild rabbit. What is this, Lexi? Stealing works? Today I realized, there's really nothing to be proud of you other than your slightly pretty face." Brian laughed mockingly making Darren's blood burn.

"What the fuck is saying." Darren was about to move on, teach Brian a lesson. However, Lexi restrained her arm, stopping her steps.

"Leave it. I want to hear what he's going to say. What I look like in his eyes."

"If you weren't born into the Willson family, you'd be nothing, Lexi. Ahhh, I forgot, you're just a pick-me-up kid, aren't you?" The hoopla happened again. No one knew Lexi was an adopted child in the Willson family.

"Then, what are you arrogant about?"

Darren really can't take it anymore. Ignoring Lexi's reprimand, he stepped quickly onto the stage. Slap a fist into the man's jaw. In an instant, Brian instantly collapsed. Apparently, Brian was under the influence of alcohol. But, what was Brian's motive for humiliating Lexi like that?
