The atmosphere outside the show was lively. The Iridescent Show was a huge event in the fashion world held every five years. Well-known fashionistas gathered here to be part of the grand scene.
Janet arrived at the door. But just as she was about to enter, the security guard stopped her.
"Journalists are not permitted to enter the show just yet. Go away."
"Please let me in. I'm a designer, not a journalist," Janet pleaded. She was getting very anxious.
Frowning, the security guard pressed for information. "Which brand do you represent?"
"W Marks," Janet quickly replied as she took out the invitation card. "I'm here to represent Draco Wesley, the founder of W Marks Studio."
After giving the invitation card a quick glance, the security guard waved his hand in apology and said, "Sorry. Please go back. We received a notice early this morning that the W Marks actually cannot participate. Besides, your opening show has been cancelled. So why are you here?"
How was it possible that the opening show had been cancelled?
"Please let me in so I can confirm with Zuri," Janet calmly said after experiencing a wave of panic. There must be some misunderstanding.
The previous night, she told Zuri that their studio would take part in the show.
Zuri then told her that she would switch the opening performance to the finale so they would have enough time to prepare.
As the main organizer of the show, how could Zuri decide to change her mind so quickly?
"Miss Salazar is not someone you can see whenever you want to. So get out of here, or we'll make you leave now!" Janet began to worry. The security guards at the entrance were adamant in not allowing her to enter the venue.
She took out her phone to call Zuri.
It was only then that she saw a missed call from Zuri.
She might have missed Zuri's call because of the noise made by the helicopter hovering over the venue.
Did something go wrong again?
Janet's thoughts were scattered. She unintentionally dropped all the papers in her arms to the ground the next instant.
Zuri wouldn't just cancel her show. All things happened for a reason. There had to be a reason for Zuri to make such decision.
Janet comforted herself this way. She had to keep her sanity so she could properly resolve this issue!
She knelt down and carefully picked up the papers that scattered all over the ground. She sorted them out, but discovered that two more manuscripts remained unaccounted for.
"Here are your stuff, Miss," said a man with a magnetic voice. He handed the missing manuscripts to Janet.
His accent was familiar. He had the pure Northcliffe dialect. Janet looked up to look at the man in front of her.
