Chapter 924 Idiots
An experienced reporter shouted, “Who cares who's wearing it? Just take pictures of it!”
Immediately, the reporters took photos of Cindy, boosting her confidence.
She turned to her manager, Terry, who was behind her. “The dress you borrowed looks pretty good. Everyone's
taking pictures of me.”
“A fashion studio lent this dress to us. I heard it's from a famous, international brand, but I'm not sure if it's true.”
Terry smiled.
Ever since Cindy started developing and improving her acting skills, there has been no hype or scandal about her.
Her exposure has been sliding downward so much that the industry has almost forgotten who she is. I admit, I'm
concerned. Yet, she isn't at all. In fact, she studies under an acting instructor every day. After she was done, she
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtonly took on minor roles.
She's at risk of not even receiving a secondary leading female role. I was apprehensive about her situation, so I
pushed her to attend this auction to increase her exposure. I spent a lot of money hiring a fashion studio with a
relatively impressive reputation. I'm glad to see the gown they provide is so beautiful that no one can take their
eyes off it. The money I spent was totally worth it!
Neither Cindy nor Terry knew they had fallen for someone else's scheme and become targets. Due to how poorly
informed they were, they were still giddy about the attention the gown was drawing.
When they stepped into the lobby of the charity auction, almost everyone was stunned to see her.
Those who were initially chatting stopped and widened their eyes in disbelief at her.
Excitedly, Cindy whispered to her manager, “They must be shocked by how beautiful my gown is! Am I so gorgeous
that I outmatch all female celebrities here?”
She had never received so much attention before.
While she was beautiful, there were many other similarly attractive celebrities in the industry.
Her appearance wasn't the most alluring, so her popularity crashed after it went up for a while.
Thankfully, her remuneration wasn't high. Sometimes, it would even go down. Cindy would receive roles in web
series with a small budget, but high-profile productions wouldn't cast her.
It was because her body figure didn't fit the aesthetics and standards of a proper drama.
Cindy felt a little uneasy about being in the spotlight so suddenly for the first time in her life. I don't know if I'm too
sensitive or emotional, but I feel that the people staring at me aren't stunned because they're impressed by my
look. It seems more like they're... appalled.
She gulped and tugged Terry's arm. “They don't seem to be impressed by my dress. Are my gown and makeup all
right?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmTerry briefly inspected her. “You look good! Your makeup is on point, your shoes fit your look well, and I handpicked
your jewelry. These people...” The look in their eyes does seem odd.
Both of them felt so nervous that they didn't have the guts to take another step. Then, a female celebrity
approached Cindy with a swagger. “I can't believe you have the nerve to wear this gown.”
Cindy was taken aback, but she pretended to be composed. “What's wrong with my gown?”
“You'll know soon enough.” The female celebrity grinned mockingly, looking as though she was waiting for a good
show.
“Please clarify your statement.” Terry was a little ticked off. What a snob! It's just a gown. Why can't Cindy wear it?
What's so wrong with that?
“You really are a foolish has-been. Don't you know where this gown comes from? If I didn't see the brand logo on
the hem of the dress, I would've thought you intentionally wore an off-brand version here!” Just as the female
celebrity ended her sentence, the people around her laughed.
Why does it seem that everyone is laughing at me? Cindy's mind went blank. What's going on with this gown? Why
don't I know about anything?
