“I don’t know. Did someone fall?”
“No. It’s merely a mannequin.” Someone in the crowd suddenly made that comment.
A mannequin?
Yasmin’s expression turned ghastly upon hearing that.
Naturally, she knew the reason why that dressing room had collapsed. Otherwise, she would not have brought Vivian to another dressing room instead.
But why a mannequin?
A bad feeling slowly crept up within her. Instead of getting done with changing into the dress, she parted the curtains and peeked out.
And like what she had expected, there was a commotion outside.
However, it was not as chaotic as she had thought. Many in the crowd were instead casting their curious gazes at the dressing room.
At that moment, a tall, slender silhouette appeared in the dressing room.
Is that… Ian?
She felt her heart skip a beat.
Unexpectedly, it was not Ian. When she caught sight of that person who walked out from inside after taking care of the mess created in that dressing room, she realized it was an unfamiliar face whose features were nowhere inferior to that of Ian.
And Yasmin was, again, struck in awe by the youth’s appearance.
He had a pair of beautiful almond-shaped eyes that sparkled like how a porcelain lamp would. However, he was dripping with an exceptional cold and distant aura.
As the youth apathetically swept his gaze across the surrounding, the girls around could instantly sense a menacing hostility enveloping the atmosphere, leaving them not daring to make another sound.
Who is this young man? He’s so good-looking!
“Oh, Kurt? Why are you here?” While everyone was in awe, Vivian’s line of vision also landed on that young man and immediately came running out, surprised.
Well, the young man was none other than Kurt.
While Yasmin continued to watch the situation in the dressing room, she noticed how the threatening aura that the youth was exuding toned down as soon as Vivian made her way out. His expression turned more tender-looking as he quietly watched the young lady approach.
“I came over to take a look. Anyway, you guys didn’t set up one of the dressing rooms properly.”
“Is that so?”
Hearing that, Vivian walked behind him to take a look. Upon finding that there was a big hole formed after the inside of that particular dressing room collapsed, she jumped in shock.
“Oh gosh. Thankfully we didn’t go to that dressing room. Phew, how fortunate.” She patted her chest as she heaved a sigh of relief.
Kurt merely grunted a reply before he continued scanning through the area with his cold gaze that ultimately landed in Yasmin’s direction.
The intense exchange of gazes threw Yasmin off her composure. She could not help but suck in a sharp breath and shuddered uncontrollably in front of that youth. Her heart nearly fell out of her chest in that instant.
It was so bone-chilling Yasmin felt her mind in a complete blank for a moment.
“All right. Since everything has been resolved, you should head outside first. It’s all girls here, so I doubt it’s very convenient for you to stick around.” Vivian tried to shove Kurt out of the room.
Her words seemed to have pulled those models, who were enraptured by the handsome youth, back into reality. In that split second, what followed after a scream was those girls covering their chest with their arms while their faces flushed red in embarrassment.
Kurt was a little taken aback by the situation.
In the end, he was dragged out of the room.
Subsequently, Vivian darted back inside. “I’m sorry for the slight mishap. Let’s continue getting changed.”
Yasmin seemed to have yet recovered from the situation earlier. “O-Okay…”
Regardless, she followed Vivian back into the dressing room.
But then, she could no longer be as calm and composed as earlier when she looked at her reflection in the mirror.
Who exactly is that young man? And why would there be a mannequin in that dressing room? According to the plan, I should be bringing Vivian into the dressing room, and we’ll be the ones falling in. But why would there be a mannequin inside?
Those thoughts only further fueled Yasmin’s uneasiness.
“Erm… M-Ms. Vivian, can I ask you something? Who’s that guy earlier?”
“Him? He’s my family. We grew up together since young,” Vivian casually revealed Kurt’s identity.
But as soon as her words fell, she saw Yasmin quivering in front of her.
Grew up with her since young? Could it be… Could it be that he’s the personal bodyguard of this young lady of the Hayeses? And that means he’s the top assassin of SteelFort those people have been mentioning? So, Lucy, Elizabeth, Colton, and the others have all died at this guy’s hands?
Yasmin’s mind was in an utter mess.
Right then, a voice rang out from the micro earpiece hidden in her ear.
“Yasmin! You’re amazing, huh? How dare you do that again? Are you tired of living?”
Yasmin did not respond.
“Fine. Just you wait. I’ll settle scores with you again.” Finishing that, that person switched off the transmitter.
“Hey, what’s on your mind? I’ve put on the outfit for you. I have to head outside to watch the other girls rehearse. Go look for my assistant to get your hair set.”
After putting the dress on Yasmin, Vivian was preparing to head outside.
To her surprise, just as she turned around, Yasmin vehemently grabbed onto her arm.
“No, you can’t. Don’t go anywhere. G-Go and look for the young man from earlier. Where is he? Stay by his side. Hurry!” It was the first time Yasmin had ever lost control of her emotions.
