Nights after the appearance of The Masked Pianist, A more appealing Hype filled the air.
Fans we are going bonkers with anticipation.
It wasn't just any event coming up.. It was the yearly fashion Fest that was coming up. Whichever brand that wins this year's competition would be rated the number one throughout the rest of the year around the world.
Brands and modeling Industries had to join hands to make their name Stand a chance against Tensixx.
For nine years now Tensixx had been the number one brand throughout the nation If they win this Year's Annual Fest, then it would set a world record and every other fashion industry would lose its meaning.
But Heilkiss hadn't lost their spark yet. Having scored top second for five straight years in the past, it looked like Tensixx's biggest and worst rival so far.
Shumpee, another fashion brand was on its way to the top at the previous year's Annual fashion Festival, But was beat down to the ground by Tensixx after it's genius CEO —El D'Carter, came up with an incredible sneakers just a few minutes before the festival was over.
That mind-blowing experience was enough to teach every CEO that the king of the modeling and fashion industry would always remain Tensixx's Elr D'Carter.
"I stand here live with CEO Brainwood at the entrance of Ice-Ritz Company .." Mrs Coroner, the news reporter said handling the mic over to Brainwood.
"Do you mind saying that again, Mr. Brainwood?"
"Sure Miss Corona," Brainwood said, putting his jaw forward so that he could speak through the mic.
"Given the latest occurrences it is very clear who the next God of fashion this year is going to be.
I put forward this advice every CEO In this nation.. Do not participate in this fashion Fest if you don't want to lose. A lot has happened and we have all seen for ourselves just how experienced and talented Tensixx's CEO is in his field. I'd rather not know the feeling of Victory than taste the painful defeat of losing to him. That's why.."
He searched his pockets and after long seconds, he finally pulled out a golden card laced with rose petals and black feathers.
That was the special invite card owned by every CEO that was to participate in the contest. Copies of it were especially distributed three months before the festival to every fashion brand small or huge, experienced or infant.
Brainwood pulled out the invite card and ripped it apart sharing it into a million pieces.
"I hereby withdraw." He said not regretting what he had just done.
Ari watched the scene displaying on the television screen, her eyes squinting down in amusement as she stretched out on the sofa. Her hands played around the buttons of the TV remote control.
The smell of burnt chicken made her flinch and sprint over to the air-fryer just two meters across the room from where she sat.
Black dusts emitted through each sides and when she opened it up it burst out filling the air threatening to cover the half of the entire room
"Yikes!"
Sammy's gaze was rather distant she pulled out her hair dryer, blowing out the black dust from getting anywhere near her as she approached Ari with her hand over her nose.
"Are you for certain that's dinner?"
She asked still battling with the smoke clouds around her with her hair dryer.
"I really should have ordered pizza when Sammy asked me to.." Kurv slouched on the couch.
Ari scoffed, " Not like you'd even take a bite out of it."
Kurv pressed her palms onto her face, leaning back in frustration,
"Ugh, I hate Saturday evenings I'm either stuck with Ari's bad cooking or restaurant food."
" Darn, I'm so hungry.." She rolled over and buried her head in the sofa
"Hey--"
Before Ari could lash out at her, Sammy's eyes beamed and she called their attention,
"Guys! I just got an update."
Kurv popped her head up, her orange curls bouncing as she turned to look at Sammy,
"Please.. Let it be free food!" she cried.
"Or a new Trend?!" Ari crossed her fingers.
" Well.. Actually.. It's both"
Before she was done talking Ari and Kurv had already buried their heads in her tablet.
"Get a grip, guys," She said, Pulling them away
" Don't get all too excited about it.."
"A new popular restaurant just opened few blocks from where we live.." She scrolled upwards "..And there is a blind date program that rich kids are setting up at this new restaurant."
" You mean the one opened by a D'Carteran brother," Ari asked
"That sure makes sense, he never had a branch around here."
"The Grand Opening is tonight, so there will be lots of free foods especially for the female dates!"
Ari and Sammy flung their gaze towards Kurv. They all Locked eyes for a while until Kurv had to break the silence, her eyebrow tilting upwards,
"You're not going to sacrifice me over some free food and restaurant. Guys..?"
Elr was at his study desk as usual, flopping through files and documents. He was making a clean sketch, when someone knocked on his door.
"Don't come in--"
Albert kicked down the door.
Elr's eyes lowered,
"That really wasn't necessary--"
Leon walked in and slammed his books shut. Albert swept his files off the desk and sat on the empty space.
He's mood keen on what he was about to say,
"Sis Kath and I have already made preparations for it."
" You're going on a Blind date."
" And you can't say no to it."
Leon added with a smirk.
