Finished 

The internet was buzzing with speculation about Lily’s enigmatic smile during the show. Many were convinced it was directed at her boss, Parker, and discussions began to swirl about the possibility of a romantic connection between the two. Fans recalled Lily’s earlier interview, where she had mentioned having a boyfriend, and started theorizing that her mysterious partner might be none other than Parker himself. 

This speculation quickly gained momentum as netizens began crafting elaborate stories about how Lily and Parker might have fallen in love. Social media exploded with hashtags:

LiLilySecret BoyfriendRevealed 

These rumors spread like wildfire, with fans enthusiastically shipping the two and fueling the buzz around this newly imagined couple. However, the subjects of the gossip, Lily and Parker, remained blissfully unaware of the storm brewing online. 

As the show reached its finale, anticipation filled the air. The models, having completed their walks, lined up on either side of the stage, leaving the center spotlight for the showstopper–Lily. Her final appearance was met with thunderous applause as she elegantly walked the runway, embodying confidence and grace. 

This was also the moment the designers of the evening’s breathtaking creations were to be revealed. The audience, both in person and online, waited eagerly to meet the mastermind behind the LX collection. Instead of the mysterious designer, however, Lily returned to the stage alongside a familiar face–Mira, Leon Haris’s fiancée. 

The crowd murmured in confusion, wondering if Mira could be the designer they had been waiting to see. As she took the microphone, Mira greeted everyone warmly: 

“Hello, everyone. I’m Mira. First, I want to thank all of you for attending tonight’s show and extend a special welcome to those watching online.” Her smile was both gracious and reassuring. 

“I know many of you are eager to meet our talented designer, LX,” she continued, “but I must apologize and break some hearts tonight. LX has chosen to remain anonymous for now. However, don’t be disheartened. While you may not see LX, you can certainly admire and own their extraordinary creations.” 

Mira’s announcement elicited a mix of curiosity and excitement. She then made a surprising revelation: 

“I am thrilled to officially announce the opening of ‘LX Creations,‘ where these stunning designs from today’s collection will soon be available for purchase.” 

The crowd applauded enthusiastically as Mira turned to introduce another key figure of the evening. “Now, let’s give a warm welcome to our incredibly talented singer, Miss Aurora, who brought brilliance and emotion to our show.” 

Aurora gracefully stepped forward, greeted by applause, and offered a shy yet heartfelt, “Hello, everyone.” Standing to Mira’s left, she joined in as Mira shared a few final remarks about the newly launched brand and the upcoming availability of the collection. 

As the show concluded, the live stream ended, and the guests were invited to an exclusive after–party. Here, they had the opportunity to admire the exquisite dresses up close, mingle with fellow attendees, and continue celebrating the success of the night. It was an evening filled with mystery, beauty, and 

unforgettable moments.

At the after–party, the media eagerly anticipated interviews with the attendees to gather insights about the show, the intricate dresses, and the enigmatic designer, LX. However, instead of a press conference, they were ushered into a dedicated section where a lavish dinner awaited them. 

Lily had arranged for a variety of exquisite cuisines to be served, delighting everyone present. Although they couldn’t conduct interviews as hoped, the reporters were satisfied knowing they had plenty of material for their stories. The buzz around the evening’s events was more than enough to fill headlines. 

The atmosphere at the after–party was lively, with guests mingling and models still dressed in their stunning runway outfits. These models quickly became the center of attention, surrounded by actresses and socialites eager to admire the designs up close. 

In a quieter corner of the venue, Jacky stood with her youngest son, Jeff. Their presence commanded attention, yet no one dared approach them uninvited. The Baldwin family’s status was akin to modern royalty, and it was an unspoken rule in the entertainment industry to keep a respectful distance unless they initiated conversation. Similarly, Ethan and James were observed with the same reserved curiosity, reinforcing their unapproachable aura. 

Jacky’s gaze, however, was fixed on a single person–Lily. For reasons she couldn’t fully explain, she found herself drawn to the young woman. There was an indescribable quality about Lily that piqued her interest, tugging at her heart in a way she hadn’t experienced before. 

“Jeff, what do you think of that girl?” Jacky finally asked, her tone thoughtful. 

Jeff, distracted by the enticing array of food just a few steps away, glanced at his mother. “Mom, can we not do this right now? Please stop trying to play matchmaker. I know you mean well, but I’m not interested in any girl.” 

Jacky raised an eyebrow, a mischievous glint in her eye. Though her initial question had nothing to do with 

matchmaking, she couldn’t resist the chance to tease him. “But, darling, how can I not? All my friends‘ children are settling down–getting married or having kids. Even Ethan is married, James has a girlfriend, and Parker is already chasing his future wife. And you? What are you doing?” 

Jeff groaned in exasperation. “Mom, if you’re so eager for grandchildren, why don’t you pester my older brothers? They’re better candidates for marriage than I am.” 

Jacky sighed dramatically. “You know your brothers. One is practically married to his job, and the other would flee at the mere mention of marriage. You’re my only hope, Jeff. Now, tell me honestly–what do you think about that girl?” 

Jeff gave her an exasperated look before sighing. “Mom, there’s something you should know–I’m already married.” 

Jacky froze, her eyes widening in disbelief. “What? You’re married?” she asked, her voice rising slightly. “Jeff, don’t tell me you went and got married in secret! Who is she? Why didn’t you tell me sooner? When did this happen? Were you planning to keep this from us forever? Say something! Who is she?” 

Her barrage of questions left Jeff struggling to contain his laughter. He finally raised his hands in surrender. “Mom, I was joking! Calm down, please.”
