Aileen lounged in the audience, her expression blank as she took in the fashion show.
But beneath that cool facade, excitement bubbled inside her. She was practically counting down the moments until the models showcased Ana's work—then everyone would witness it firsthand.
Ana's just a fame-hungry fake, Aileen thought venomously.
She doesn't deserve to call herself a designer.
"Holy shit! That dress is incredible!" someone gasped from the crowd.
"No kidding, it's breathtaking! The earlier pieces were solid, but this one just crushed them all!" another voice rang out.
"Did you catch that? It's not just some fancy evening wear—it's actually practical too. You could rock this casually and still look amazing!" a third person added.
"Already cast my vote—this dress is hands down today's winner!" someone else announced.
