"I'm out. I'm out." Lynette's voice came over the phone.
Yvonne smiled slightly, "Okay, I'll meet you outside the venue then."
"Okay, I'll call you when I get there," Lynette replied.
When the call ended, Yvonne put her phone away. She couldn't contain her joy and even more so her anticipation toward the upcoming fashion show.
She had planned to go to the show by herself.
However, since she had two tickets, she realized that one would go to waste if she went alone.
Subsequently, before she went to sleep last night, she invited Lynette to go with her.
Thankfully, Lynette agreed to go with her.
That was also the reason for their conversation over the phone.
Soon, she reached the venue of the fashion show.
After Yvonne sent off Luke, she stood at the entrance o f the venue and waited for Lynette. Ten minutes later, Lynette showed up.
She ran over panting, "Yvonne, you must have waited for a long time. Sorry, there was a traffic jam."
"It’s okay, I haven't been waiting for long. Let's go inside." Yvonne took her hand and walked into the
venue.
Their seats were in the first row facing the runway. It was the perfect spot with the best and widest view of the runway, where they could clearly see all the clothes the models were wearing.
For this show, Yvonne even brought her camera with her. She intended to take photos of all the clothes that the models were wearing so that she could study the designs and patterns.
"I don't even know how to describe how I feel right now! It's the first time I've ever been to a runway show. Your husband is really capable-he even managed to get two tickets for these premium seats." Lynette grabbed Yvonne's arm and shook it with excitement.
Yvonne was adjusting her camera when Lynette shook her arm so much that her camera nearly flew out. Her face turned white at that moment.
In the end, she caught her camera with her quick reflexes and managed to avoid breaking her camera.
Despite that, she was still quite startled by that incident and she took a while to exhale and calm herself.
"Lyn, did you know that my heart nearly stopped?" Yvonne glared at Lynette sternly.
Lynette knew she was at fault. She stuck her tongue out slightly. "I'm sorry, I know I was wrong. It won't happen again. I swear."
She held up three fingers and shook them.
Yvonne looked at her pitiful expression and found it both infuriating and amusing, "Alright, stop talking. The runway show is starting."
"It's starting already?" Lynette was shocked when the lights suddenly went dark.
Yvonne pulled on Lynette's sleeve to signal to her to keep quiet.
When Lynette realized this, she quickly closed her mouth and stared intently at the runway.
One by one, the models walked out clad in exquisite haute-couture, each of them was breathlessly beautiful.
Yvonne could even hear the numerous gasping sounds around her. She quickly raised her camera and started snapping the pictures of the model, afraid that she would miss even one.
However, when she was about to take the photo of the model strutting for the show's finale, she stopped before she pressed the shutter. She pulled her camera down swiftly and looked at that model with her eyes wide open in disbelief.
Was that... Jacqueline?
Why was she on the runway?
