Chapter 864 Attending A Fashion Party
Noticing Janet’s gaze, Derek dismissed the women around him and walked up to Janet.
He propped his elbows against the bar counter and asked with jest, “Do you feel out of place? Well, you don’t look like you’re
supposed to be here. You look... mystifying.”

Jput her bag and shawl on the counter and retorted, “If you think that I don’t belong here because I’m wearing old-fashioned
clothes, then just say so. Stop beating around the bush.”
Derek put down the glassand raised his both hands as if to surrender. “Miss, don’t getwrong. What I want to say is that your
beauty is timeless, unlike those girls who are just pretty because of their makeup.”
Jfell silent. It was not every day she got to hear someone compliment her for what she looked like.
The Lind family had imprinted on her mind that she was ugly, which made her self-conscious and insecure for a long time. But
after meeting Brandon, she eventually regained her confidence. However, the way that the Lind family had b*ody-shamed her
still brought a pang in her heart.
Jsmiled faintly. Derek’s sincere compliment felt good. But just as she was about to speak, a voice of a woman cfrom
behind.
A group of women walked over to them. They were the female designers whom Derek had sent away.
At this moment, he patted Jon the shoulder and introduced her to everyone. “This is Janet. She’s from W Marks Stuthat
had created the grand finale at Iridescent Show.”
In an instant, about a dozen pairs of eyes shifted to Janet. They looked at her from head to toe and realized something.
“The video of their new collection on Iridescent Show went viral. I didn’t expect that W Marks would ask such a young lady to
represent them.”
Everyone stared at Jwith a look of admiration.
“Wow. You were able to join W Marks at such a young age. You’re truly incredible.”
Everyone in the model circle knew Draco, so they were all in awe of Janet.
While they were chatting happily with Janet, a woman walked over from behind them.
“She’s still young, but she managed to take part in Iridescent Show on Draco’s behalf. She must have a very good relationship
with him,” she said with a mysterious smile.
Everyone turned around to look at the woman. She had shoulder-length red hair. What was more, her black dress was fitted,
emphasizing her hourglassfigure. She was gorgeous.
“Miss Jimenez, you’re here too!” one of the models said. She then turned to everyone and introduced the newcomer to them.
“This is Kathie Jimenez from Gem Studio. She’s also a designer.”
looked familiar. Jjust could not remember where she had seen Kathie before.
“I’m Mr. Wesley’s assistant designer. He had semergencies to deal with and couldn’t chere in person, so he asked me
to attend the show on his behalf.” Kathie lowered her head and leisurely took a sip of her red wine. “Really? That’s not what I
heard. Most models and designers here cfrom abroad, so naturally they had no idea what really happened. According to my
friends from Barnes, you’re actually an expert at hooking up with your superiors. She was actually denied entry to the show, but
then she hooked up with Derek at the entrance and managed to get in.”
Jstared at Kathie in disbelief. All of a sudden, it dawned on her where she had seen Kathie’s nbefore.
Gem Studio, the company Kathie was working for, was the standby team for Iridescent Show.
No wonder she was resentful.
Something had happened to Draco just before the show, so Kathie must have assumed that her stucould finally take part in
the show. However, just as the show was about to start, Jarrived. As a result, Gem Studio, the company where Kathie was
working, could no longer participate in Iridescent Show.
“I know you. You’re from Gem Studio, the standby team of W Marks. I didn’t expect that you could still cto this party even if
you weren’t part of the show. I thought only those who had attended the show were invited.”
“How bold of you to say that. You’re incompetent, so you rely on seducing men to get promoted. How dare you talk tolike
that?” Kathie scoffed. What Jhad just said touched Kathie’s sore spot.
“I’m sorry. You guys continue your conversation. I’lljust...” Derek stood up to leave. But when he brushed past Kathie, he
“accidentally” spilled his wine on her dress.
“Oops. I’m so sorry. I didn’t mean to do that. It’s just that my wine seems to like your dress so much that it wants sphysical
contact,” he apologetically said, but the smile on his face said otherwise.
