Chapter 959 Saving the Day
Mira was getting anxious. "What about the red carpet?"
Wendy raised her hands to rub her temples. "I quit."
Mira wanted to persuade Wendy but knew it would be futile. She sighed and went out to contact Madeline Eve, the red carpet coordinator and the editor-in-chief of the magazine hosting the fashion gala.
Madeline, with her auburn hair, was the epitome of a successful woman in the fashion industry. Tonight, she wore a sequined black and white suit with a snake-like texture. People in the industry nicknamed her Snake Lady because she was both ruthless and stunning, with a sharp tongue that spared no one. Offending her could mean the end of one's career in the fashion industry for an actor or an actress.
Previously, TV's Best Actress Jessa Greer, who had a somewhat plain appearance, finally won the Best Actress award and got in touch with a luxury fashion brand. However, she offended Madeline at a gala, causing her to lose all her fashion resources but some minor magazines.
This time, Wendy was supposed to be the highlight of the red carpet. It had taken Mira quite a long negotiation to secure the spot on some adverse terms.
Now, Wendy decided not to go. Although Wendy's status was stable and she wouldn't suffer any losses, offending Madeline would definitely have an impact.
Seeing Wendy's current state, Mira could only sigh and go to inform the others.
The red carpet event was nearing its end.
Madeline's face darkened as she looked at Mira. "What did you say?" A faint, mocking smile appeared on her face. "You said Wendy suddenly has a stomachache and can't walk the red carpet?"
Mira nodded. "Yes, it was really sudden. Wendy is resting now, feeling very uncomfortable. Otherwise, with her relationship with you, even if she had a gastric bleeding, she would still walk the red carpet."
Madeline's nostrils dilated in anger, as she knew Wendy's stomachache was just an excuse. Having been in the fashion industry for so long, she could tell at a glance that Wendy was perfectly fine.
But at this moment, Without Wendy as a finale, the red carpet needed a stabilizing force.
Madeline dismissed Mira casually and immediately had her assistant contact another big shot.
Previously, several big shots in the film industry were unhappy and refused to walk the red carpet because Wendy was supposed to be the finale. Now, Madeline had to ask those stars to come back.
Veteran actress and Best Actress winner Magnolia Belle walked the red carpet as the final highlight.
Many media personnel expressed disappointment with her appearance. They had been led to believe Wendy would be the highlight.
They were all prepared to get some scoop from Wendy, and the host was even more disappointed. However, Magnolia, with her esteemed reputation, was still a fitting final act.
The red carpet event concluded.
The signature wall was filled with autographs from various celebrities and many media outlets took group photos.
The cameras then focused on the main event area.
Some media spotted Wendy.
Although Wendy had changed outfits, most celebrities had two sets of gowns, so Wendy's previous gown—a fuchsia mermaid dress—was exposed. It turned out to be the same dress as Penelope's.
Online comments favored Penelope.
After all, Penelope was young and beautiful, making the mermaid dress look even more enchanting.
Wendy, though still beautiful, couldn't compete with Penelope's youthful energy.
