Hearing this, Mya was so anxious that she stamped her feet. "Mr. Chin! Please don't agree with her request. She is obviously playing tricks. Maybe she will pretend to wash the skirt, and then run away directly from the back door later on!"
Mona also looked at him with great dissatisfaction.
Desmond touched his nose, shrugged his shoulders, and said, "I had already agreed with her request!"
What he meant was: "It's no use crying over spilt milk."
Tina tried to calm herself down.
Ignoring the gazes of the people around her, she turned aside and looked at Bonnie, who had been petrified by this sudden accident. She reached out, put her hand on the shooting equipments, and asked, "Bonnie, can I leave these equipments to you alone?" "Okay!" Bonnie nodded.
The equipments had already been set up and were ready to be put into use. Although Bonnie would become very busy if she was the only reporter to handle the equipment, she could still handle them.
Bonnie looked at Tina nervously and worriedly. "But Tina, you..."
"I'll be okay!" Tina shook her head.
After making sure that her job of reporting the show wouldn't be delayed, Tina turned to Mona and said directly, "Miss Wong, please give me your dress first!"
As Mona met Tina's gaze, she gritted her teeth in anger.
"The grand finale is about to begin. How can this girl get rid of it?"
"I don't know... I feel that it's absolutely impossible. It's only more than half an hour before Mona should get on the stage!"
"I agree with you! I think it would be better for this reporter to apologize to Mona and admit that it was all her fault! In this way, the show could still go on normally. Otherwise, the grand finale of Mona might turn out to be a complete failure. It will then have a much worse impact!"
Hearing these voices, Mona sneered and said, "Well... I'll take it off. I'd like to see how you'll cry later!"
Two minutes later, Mya took out Mona's dress and threw it to Tina's hands.
Tina lowered her head and examined it again.
Then, she quickly ran to the backstage.
She looked at the dress and found some pink silk threads. These threads were actually left by the designer on purpose for any need of tiny adjustments in the future in case of any minor problem occurred. Only professional costume designers could realize this point.
Tina felt very glad that she could find the threads for adjustments. She went into a locker room so that nobody was able to disturb her.
The locked door isolated her from the outside world. In this narrow space, she could do anything she wanted.
Tina was neither anxious nor impatient. She looked at the hemline of the skirt carefully for a moment under the lamplight. Then, she began to mend the skirt with a needle and threads.
The needle moved very fast.
One deep patching, one shallow patching, and then one circled patching... After that, tighten the threads...
Time passed by.
The show had already begun, and all the lights inside the hall were dimmed.
As the music started, models went to the catwalk one by one. The pop stars and movie stars, celebrities, etc also went on the stage for modeling performance.
In an independent dressing room, Mona was sitting in front of the mirror in a bathrobe.
She said to the makeup artist who was busy working on her face, "Kim, I want to be as beautiful as possible tonight!"
Mya, who was nearby, asked in confusion, "Mona, you're not going to perform on the stage. Why are you still wasting the time in your makeup?"
"You're a fool!" Mona snorted coldly. She raised her hand and caressed her face that was covered by thick makeup. "The more I attach importance to my performance, the more inculpable I will be when I can't get on the stage without the dress, and Tina Hall will have to bear more responsibilities!"
Mya realized Mona's plot and gave her a thumbs-up.
Mona revealed a confident smile.
She looked in the direction of the door and asked her agent, "What time is it now?"
Mya looked at her watch and replied, "There are still two minutes left! Haha... Tina Hall was so confident when she said she could do it... She is just a little reporter... How could a reporter like her repair the gorgeous skirt of a movie star?!! Nobody on the scene dared to say that they could mend the dress. She was the only one boasting that she could do it... Haw-haw, I want to see her cry later on!"
