Flora’s Guide to a Second Chance at Love and Life novel Chapter 104

Chapter 104 

“Flora, I’ve got to go. My model has arrived. I need to head backstage to prepare.” Kaylee was no longer nervous after chatting with Flore and the others for a while. 

“Go, go, gol You’ve got this! I’m lugging the camera around. I’ll definitely capture your most brilliant moment!” Alex said, struggling with the heavy camera. 

Kaylee smiled, waved at them, and went ahead to meet the model, then headed backstage together. 

The backstage area was bustling. Many designers were busy doing makeup and styling hair for their models. 

As the creators of the outfits, they knew best what makeup and hairstyle would complement their designs. 

Makeup and styling were fundamental skills for every fashion designer. 

The designers participating in this competition were mostly industry veterans, and Kaylee, who looked to be only seventeen or eighteen, attracted a lot of attention upon her arrival. 

“Hey, little miss, how old are you? Are you in college yet?” Someone glanced at her contestant badge and asked kindly. 

Kaylee answered sweetly, “I’m still in high school.” 

Everyone was surprised. It was remarkable for a high school student to pass the preliminary rounds and make it to the finals. 

While they were still in shock, Yvonne entered with her model. 

Yvonne stirred even more excitement. 

“It’s Yvonne!‘ 

“The prodigy, Yvonne!” 

Yvonne was quite well known in the fashion industry. At just nineteen, she had already won many awards. Moreover, she was quite good at marketing herself. So many people knew of her. 

“Hello, everyone. It’s a pleasure to meet you all,” Yvonne greeted everyone with grace and politeness, making them like her even more. 

“Yvonne, it’s an honor!” Having seen Yvonne’s competitions on TV, K 

Kaylee was very excited to see her in person. She reached out for a 

handshake. 

However, Yvonne didn’t notice her and walked past 

Kaylee awkwardly withdrew her hand. 

Everyone exchanged glances, noticing the apparent discord between Yvonne and Kaylee. 

Yvonne and her model went to the dressing room to change into a gown. Ten minutes later, the door reopened. 

Everyone instinctively looked over, drawn to the gown worn by the model stepping out behind Yvonne. 

All eyes widened in amazement. This was their first time seeing such an exquisitely designed gown. The gown was predominantly navy blue, with unknown totems embroidered at the cuffs and neckline. The embroidered patterns blended into the fabric, the gown telling a story of its own – pretty as a picture. 

The silver threads shimmered under the wall lamps, reminiscent of the moon’s soft glow casting its brilliance everywhere. The design was majestic yet understatedly elegant. It was just a gown, yet it somehow inspired a sense of awe. Everyone was stunned for a long time. They knew Yvonne was talented, but they hadn’t expected her to improve this much. It was a huge leap from her last competition entry, almost as if it was designed by a completely different person. 

Yvonne didn’t miss their expressions and lifted her chin proudly. 

“As expected of the prodigy, we simply can’t compare with such talent…” Someone said with a wry 

smile. 

Yvonne was undoubtedly going to be the champion of this competition. She might even be spotted by the renowned designer Rose and taken as an apprentice. Her future was boundless.
