GET IT
Her Mother’s Mentor
Chapter Seventeen
“I need your senters, Muse.”
Lana’s eyes widened with shock as she heard Zaire’s utter those words. Behind her, Diego had been startled from his position and he blinked rapidly, looking from
Zaire was very amused at their expressions, that he almost laughed out loud.
“Come on, did you think i wouldn’t know you were Muse, Lana? He drawled, rocking an eyebrow at them.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Lana finally found her voice and she said firmly. She picked up her coffee again and took another sip.
She kept her eyes defiantly away from Zaire as she denied the Muse title. She had thought she kept the identity really secret, but of course, Zaire was just too smart
for her
Actually, Zaire had not been sure if she was Muse and had only said that on a whim. But the expressions of Lana and Diego was enough to confirm his earlier suspicions
it only made sense that Lana was Muse. He had seem her work and knew how spectacular they were. Most of the clothes for that season in his company were made by Lana and ALLURE.
Although he had seen Lana’s work, he had never met the extremely talented designer Muse. It was only natural for him to connect the dots and realise that she was actually Muse
Zair wondered how many of her identity she was going to keep from
Only a few top executives in the fashion world knew her as the CEO of ALLURE, while a lesser percentage knew her as the heiress to the Femandez Empire
Then there was the Muse identity to consider, which absolutely no one knew about.
Hegard at her defiant expression and was very armused by It. He thought Lana looked adorable with her slight pout and slight frown.
It’s okay, I’m not going to reveal your secret identity to the world” Zaire assured her “That’s up to you but I need you to help me on something
Lana glanced at him and her expression softened as she sighed. It was no use trying to deny it. He already knew she was Muse, and while it was not a bad thing, she was still wary of the public eye.
“Fine, what do you want?” she gave Zaire a direct look and sat up straighter on her chair.
“More of Muse’s designs? A collaboration?
was giving off a business like vibe and Zaire cleared his throat when he realized they had gotten down to business.
“Nothing of that sort“, he replied, leaning forward with his elbows on his thighs “You know my fashion show is coming up next weekend.”
The SERENE LOOK Fashion show hosted by Ludovic Empire, Lana was aware of it. Infact, she was among the VIP invited, although she had not decided it she wanted to attend yet.
“Thow about your fashion show, Zaine. 1 designed most of your outfits,” she cocked her head as she gave her reply “And about the invitation, I’m still thinking. about it, to be honest.”
“Well, you’re gonna have to think faster.” Zare said briskly, giving her a slight smile “I need you to model the finale dress, Lana”
Larsa spluttered, almost choking on her coffee. She dropped the saucer once again and slightly pressed a capin to the sides of her mouth.
When she looked at Zaur again, her gaze was cold.
Wut do you meal model, Zalte? I’m a designer, not a model!”
“You seem to live the body”
fucked but he quickly stopped as Latta shut im a scathing glate
Holding up his hands in defeat, he said apologetically, “I’m sorry. It’s just that, I feel you’re the only one who could do justice to the dress. Believe me, Lana, the derss is spectacular ”
‘m sate it’s fabulous but I’m not a model, Zale. I’ve not been on a stage in my entire lite!”
bet
“F’im sove your“il do just fine Zaire assured her calmly as he saw that she was really illed up. There was a particular prason he wanted her to wear the dress and that was because a certain person requested it
Herwar was not a model but are also wanted to see her in the dress before anyone else
“No, It’s not. I might fall on my face that day. Get a top inodel, Zaite, and save yourself the trouble.” Lana said firmly as she stood up and walked towards her desk. situated at the far end of the office.
hat’s all you wanted to say, I think we’re done her
“You said yettincanted to repay me tot helping you find Mr Exans. Well, repay me by wearing my finale dress,”
Lana shopped and turned toward Zalte, bet eyes flashing with anger, as she stared at him with esasperation…….
What was his dead00
He knew the reason why she did not want to
eshe did not want to attend so why was he still pushing it?
Zaire, however, beld his ground, a bemused expression on his face. He law if he did not use this tactic, Lana might not attend the fashion show.
she almost never attends his shows at this time of the season and he knew the reason why.
Because he always held them at cakerest City.
Lana absolutely refuses to retum back to Oakcrest City, and had told this to Zaire numerous times.
Boil SLRENE headquarters was there and it was on
and it was only night he opened the season at his headquarters
she, however, never failed to attend the ones hosted at Emerald City.
“I thought you were over him” Finally, Zaite ventured as he also stood up, jamming his hands deep into his pockets.
Excuse me? Lana said cuntly. She narrowed her eyes at him, her gaze deadly as she glared at him, one eyebrow raised. “What was that you said?” Diego looked from Lana to Zaire and realised he could not stand the situation. Lana looked like she’d bite the head off Zaire if he uttered another word.
mbled his excuse and swiftly exited the room, as though his heels were on fire. Lana and Zaire hardly saw him leave. They were busy having a
ga staring contest ty, Lana wrenched her eyes from Zaire and returned to her desk “you can take your leave now, Zaire. I’m sorry I won’t be attending your fashion show this year rell and 1 most definitely won’t be wearing your finale dress.”
She kept her gaze down as well as her voice, for she felt more than a trifle guilty. There was absolutely no reason not to attend a very good friend’s fashion show and Lana alwan missed his shows at this time of the year.
“You said you wear over him.” Zaire repeated again, his voice calm as well. There was no hint of amusement in his voice this time as his green eyes shone with something alan to anger
He knew he was touching a soft spot, but right now he did not care. The fact that she did not want to attend his shows, because she was scared of minning Damien Romper was enough to make his blood boil with rage and jealousy.
I am over him, Zaite!” Lana affirmed, refusing to look at him “why do you keep bringing it up?”
“Fine, then there’s absolutely no reason why you can’t attend the show” Zaine replied, his tone stubborn as well “even if you’re not wearing the finale dress.” Lana’s jaw clenched as she battled with her emotions. Zaline was right. There was absolutely no reason for her to be scared of attending the fashion show of a friend. Even if Damien Romero was going to be there, they had nothing to do with each other. They were divorced and their tailed marriage was a thing of the past. Besides, Damien Romero had been absent from the previous shows. She knew SERENE was a rival to the Romero Empire’s fashion company known as MAGIC but still, it was common country to attend the shows of other fashion.company
Oceven better, to keep tabs on the others progress and try to improve their own designs.
But the Rocorros had never attended one of SERENE’S shows.
The pompous bastards, Lana scoffed as a bitter taste came into her mouth
There was no s
was no rason to deny her good friend anything. She was over Damien and that was final. Besides, he was not going to be there. “Fine, I’ll go ” She said, giving Zaire a square look and his handsome face was lit up with a smile. “But I’m not wearing the dress.” The sulle faded from Zaire’s lip’s and Lana ignored film as the telumed to her work, opening her laptop.
However, Zaice was not going to back down. He
e chudded as lie sat down again.
That’s a shame. Petre Evans really wanted to see you in that dress.
Lana stopped typing, as the whipped her head up to stare at Zaire incredulously
What do you mean? She asked, he wanted together in a slight frown “Wall. Are you saying
She trailed off as Zaire nodded solemnly
*He designed the dress, Lana and he requested that you wear ”
Lana’s eyes were wide with shock as she stated at Zaire. Her beast was beating loudly in anticipation as she asked the next question “Then, is he?”
She trailed off again and Zaire flashed her a charming stole.
“Yea, Lapa, Pierre Evans, you mother’s mentor will be at SERENE’S Fashion show”
