Chapter 960 The Opening Show
Nevertheless, she was tall in comparison to average women.
Ashlyn was tall, and there was something apathetic in the way she carried herself.
It made her a good model.
The models in the event were no ordinary models, and yet, Richard was asking Ashlyn to be in the opening show.
“Ms. Berry, Mr. Shaw said that we'll be donating five million for the disaster relief efforts, so your appearance in the
opening show is of extraordinary significance,” the public relations director continued.
“But why didn't Richard say anything about this to me?” she queried, frowning.
Richard Shaw had established X Corporation by himself, and he managed to bring it to great heights until they had
achieved what they now had.
Yet, Richard had not said anything to her about starring in the opening show.
It seemed as though the public relations director had been the one to make the decision himself.
Something fishy was going on.
“Why don't you... give Mr. Shaw a call then?” the public relations director suggested, peeking at Ashlyn.

“Never mind. It's just a runway walk,” Ashlyn mumbled.
“All right. If you're afraid of the crowd or if you feel too tense, you have to tell the show director immediately so
that he can help you recompose yourself,” the public relations director added worriedly.
Studying the public relations director's anxious look, Cassandra snorted and said, “Boss has been through many
things. This is just a runway walk. Why would she be afraid of it?”
The public relations director was still hesitant. But she's an inexperienced rookie. How can she be as good as a
professional?
Nonetheless, those were words that he did not dare to say out loud.
Ashlyn had just called Richard by his name, after all.
In other words, she was definitely on good terms with Richard.
In the meantime, the models were all looking at Ashlyn with amusement in their eyes.
Some were even whispering, “She's just an influencer who got a chance to show off when she contributed to the
disaster relief activities.”
“We're models with awards to our names. Who does she think she is?”
“I know, right? I can't believe she even stole your role in the opening show, Sadie! She's too much! We only got the
chance to be here after so many auditions.”
“What right does she have to land this opportunity so easily?”
“Forget about it. She has someone powerful backing her. She's Mrs. Nolan. Didn't you hear her call Mr. Shaw by his
name?”
When Cassandra heard the models talking smack about Ashlyn, she desperately wished to walk over to slap them.
She held back, however.
Ashlyn was the star in the disaster relief efforts at the moment. Any bad news concerning her would bring her
soaring reputation crashing to the ground immediately.
Ashlyn peeked at Cassandra's furious expression and laughed. “Just ignore them. We're not professionals anyway.
Since Richard asked me to walk the runway, I'll do it once. Moreover, the opening show is important to a model. It's
an honor for those who get to walk the runway during the opening show. I've abruptly taken the chance for that
from one of them, so it's normal that they're angry.”
Ashlyn was a designer, after all. So, she knew well how things worked in the industry.
Cassandra then shot the models another glare before dropping the topic.

When Lynette saw Ashlyn, a look of surprise flitted past her eyes.
At the same time, Ashlyn saw Lynette. Their eyes met.
A strange tension filled the air.
Still, Ashlyn looked away a second later.
Dixon had spent much money headhunting Lynette's manager, so her manager was an extremely capable
individual.
Without a doubt, he was good at fighting for resources to pave the way for the artiste he was managing.
Lynette was almost the same height as Ashlyn, and more importantly, she was younger.
Her young age meant that her future was filled with endless possibilities in the entertainment industry.
Right then, a female staff member walked over to say to Ashlyn, “Ms. Berry, please put on the clothes for the
runway. This set of clothes is one of the main works that our company's famous Ms. X designed.”
Ashlyn nodded. “Okay.”
All of a sudden, Lynette's manager excitedly walked over to Ashlyn and stood in her way.
