Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss-Chapter 538: Exotic Fire Fashion Show 1

Then the two of them looked at each other in the mirror.

"Crane Reflection, it suits you well."

Sterling Norwood said.

Selena Kensington chuckled, "Lynn Rhodes’s design is truly stunning. I was taken aback for quite a while when I first saw it."

It combines The Empire’s traditional culture with modern design elements, creating Selena Kensington’s "Crane Reflection."

Full of ancient charm and rhythm, yet with a strong modern design sense.

Selena Kensington admired it for a while, then asked Sterling Norwood, "Who was that on the phone just now?"

"Your brother."

At this, Selena Kensington raised her eyebrows slightly, "What did he say?"

"Aethelgard Media University’s performance department level exams, inviting you to be a judge."

Sterling Norwood lazily rested his head on Selena Kensington’s shoulder as he answered her.

"...Oh?"

Selena Kensington was a bit surprised; she naturally knew about the performance department’s level exams at Aethelgard Media University.

It’s been a tradition of the media university’s performance department for many years.

After a semester of acclimatization, freshmen undergo a level exam a month into the next semester.

This exam tests students’ foundational skills and adaptability.

It also helps teachers conduct tiered instruction more easily.

Since each student’s understanding and experience vary, level exams were created to reduce teaching disparities.

After this level exam, performance department tutors would provide more focused guidance to students.

This is also considered the first major exam for performance students since they entered Aethelgard Media University.

Back then, Vivian Sutton had insisted on cancelling a month’s worth of triad activities with her and Clement Luther to prepare for this exam.

During that month, she and Clement Luther practiced with Vivian Sutton daily and acted as her rehearsal partners.

To maintain her figure, Vivian Sutton even gave up their favorite street food from their university days for that month.

"I got it."

After finishing "Butterfly Flame," she only needed to occasionally oversee post-production work, allowing for more leisure time.

Moreover, the performance department level exam could uncover some promising talents.

Selena Kensington wanted to try this opportunity.

After admiring the dress, Selena Kensington nudged Sterling Norwood, "Alright, you should leave now. I need to change clothes."

"...It’s not like I haven’t seen it before."

Sterling Norwood said nonchalantly.

Selena Kensington shot him a glare in the mirror, then threatened with a squint, "Do you want to leave on your own or wait for me to make you?"

"..."

Sterling Norwood was speechless.

He felt that after the last incident, his wife’s become slightly more aggressive.

Ultimately, Sterling Norwood compromised and left the dressing room.

Three days later, the Exotic Fire fashion show commenced as scheduled.

Previously, Stardust had already built anticipation for this fashion show.

Besides advertising on their official Weibo and Starstruck, they even bought several mall ad spaces throughout Aethelgard.

All to promote this fashion show.

The models this time included veteran models from The Aura Showcase and Phoebe Osborne, who joined upon hearing that "Spiritual Dress" was backed by Stardust Investments.

Furthermore, several celebrities from the circle and some socialites mingling in Aethelgard’s fashion industry were invited.

In addition to media invitations, the fashion show was streamed live on Starstruck.

So aside from the invited attendees at the venue, numerous online viewers focused on this fashion event.

[So excited!!! The design drafts were already so alluring when announced earlier!]

[Since The Aura Showcase folded, few traditional Chinese style fashion brands have caught my eye. Hoping Spiritual Dress delivers!!!]

[I heard Phoebe Osborne is among the models today!!!]

[It’s been ages since Phoebe Osborne did a runway show, I’m moved to tears!]

Meanwhile, at the Northwood Estate.

Selena Kensington swapped into "Crane Reflection" in the wardrobe, then went downstairs once her makeup and hair were done.

As she descended, she spotted Hope Norwood waiting in the main estate hall.

"Hope? Why are you here..."

Selena Kensington voiced her surprise.

Hope Norwood informed her, "The Patriarch sent me to be your driver and bodyguard."

Selena Kensington chuckled softly, "I guess I’ll have to trouble you tonight then."

"No trouble at all."

Afterward, Hope Norwood drove the car to the front entrance, and Selena Kensington set off.

The fashion show’s venue was set at The Venti Hall.

Considered one of Aethelgard’s more notable show venues.

To closely adhere to the theme, Lynn Rhodes had arranged the setup three days in advance.

As Selena Kensington reached the venue’s entrance, she spotted a giant white crane extending from the hall’s door.

It was exceedingly prominent. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

Numerous people were already taking photos and checking in there.

From where the cars dropped off people to the entrance was a red carpet.

Plenty of people were stepping onto it, basking in the media’s camera flashes and questions from both sides.

Arriving at the drop-off point, Selena Kensington told Hope Norwood, "Park the car and come find me inside, just mention my name."

"Alright, madam."

With that, Selena Kensington stepped out.

At the sight of Selena Kensington, the media in front focused their gaze on her.

Selena Kensington was quite tall, and with her high heels, especially the high-waisted design of the dress, it highlighted her slender figure.

Her long hair was elegantly pinned up, secured by a hairpin.

Several strands intentionally fell loose, adding a touch of delightful disarray.

The swan-like neck lay exposed.

Deep red diamond earrings dangled on her ears, shimmering under the night’s lights.

"Selena Kensington is here!!!"

"Selena Kensington’s outfit... doesn’t seem to have appeared in previous design drafts..."

"Could it be an Easter egg?!"

’Click’, ’click’, ’click’...

With each flash landing on Selena Kensington, she stepped onto the red carpet.

Meanwhile, the red carpet scene was being streamed online, and as Selena Kensington appeared in the live camera’s view.

Netizens rapidly filled the chat.

[Sister’s outfit looks amazing!!! Cheering like crazy for sister!]

[Is Selena Kensington’s dress also part of the Exotic Fire series? If so, I’m going all in!]

[Only beautiful women deserve such stunning dresses!]

As Selena Kensington reached the center of the red carpet, media wielding microphones gathered around.

"Miss Kensington, is your dress today also designed by Lynn Rhodes?"

A media representative asked.

Selena Kensington replied cheerfully, "Yes, this dress is called Crane Reflection."

"Crane Reflection... such a graceful name."

"Thank you."

While the media questioned Selena Kensington, the live camera also panned over.

Thus, the audience in the live broadcast heard what Selena Kensington had just said.
