What Are You Going to Do?
The next day, the DR’s Autumn Runway Show officially began at two o’clock in the afternoon.
Lesly arrived at the location early in the morning, completing the preparations and inspection for the opening ceremony.
In the afternoon, the models arrived one after another. With the runway show beginning soon, backstage became busy and chaotic. All kinds of small situations kept happening. However, Lesly had experience. No matter how chaotic things were, she handled them perfectly.
However, a few minutes after the show began, a model who had already changed her clothes suddenly fell down and tore the clothes. Luckily, the tear was not in plain sight, and it could be fixed with a few stitches.
Lesly fixed the dress and watched the model go up to the catwalk. No one noticed the flaw when the model walked the catwalk.
After the matter was resolved, Lesly sighed with relief.
"Ms. Atkins, something bad has happened." Hollie ran over in a panic. "The line in the changing room caught on fire. The fire burned our last clothing line, the Starry Sky series."
Lesly frowned and strode to the changing room. She was calm and said, "Tell me the details."
Hollie looked at her calm face and felt a little surprised. She also calmed down strangely and explained the situation in detail.
There were only five sets of clothes in the Starry Sky clothing line. Three sets had caught on fire. The main purpose of this runway show was to show off this new clothing line. The DR management had chosen that clothing line as the main star of the show.
If the clothes were ruined, the entire runway show would also be ruined
In the changing room, the fire had been put out. The three skirts that had been burnt were pushed aside. A tall woman stood next to the dresses and scolded angrily, "What were you all doing? My dress was kept here, yet it caught on fire. Do you know that the entire runway show has been destroyed?"
The woman’s voice was sharp and unpleasant.
"Where’s your supervisor? Ask her to come out and take responsibility!"
"She’s behind you." A colleague pointed at Lesly, who had just arrived, and said weakly, "She is the person in charge."
The tall woman turned around. It was Vivian, the chief designer of the Design Department.
"Are you the new manager, Ms. Atkins?" She raised her eyes and looked at Lesly with contempt. "Tell me, what are you going to do now? There is still 15 minutes before my turn to go on stage."
Lesly took the clothes and looked at them carefully.
The dress was made of pure white lace, which was inlaid into stars with small diamonds. When moving, the dress swayed, shining like the starry sky. However, now the outer layer of the lace was burned black. It wrapped around the dress like smoke and dust, which made it look ugly.
"How do you intend to take responsibility?" Vivian kept asking, "This is the most important runway show of the company, and now it has been destroyed by you. Even if the world ends now, you must apologize!"
"I don’t need to apologize." Lesly looked up and glanced at Vivian with a calm look. "This show will not be destroyed, and I will deal with all the situations. As for the cause of the circuit failure, I will investigate it clearly."
Finishing her words, she turned around and whispered a few words to Hollie.
Hollie’s face was full of surprise and uncertainty as she said, "You really want..."
Lesly interrupted her. "Don’t talk nonsense. Go quickly. There is not much time left."
Hollie gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, I’ll do it now."
She trotted away.
Lesly ordered people to bring over the other two sets of intact clothes.
"Lesly, what will you do?" Vivian added, "Why don’t you go to the general manager to apologize?"
Lesly ignored her and looked at the other two dresses.
"Lesly, you don’t intend to keep this from the directors, do you? Are you planning to use these two dresses to make up the number?" Vivian continued to say, "You are going to be fired if the directors find out. Mark my words."
"Your dress was burnt," Lesly finally spoke as she stared straight into Vivian’s eyes. "Why don’t you feel distressed and upset? Instead, you keep causing trouble for me. Did you burn them on purpose?"
Vivian froze for a second and then said angrily, "Am I crazy? Why would I burn my own clothes? I’m just afraid that you can’t shoulder the responsibility and run away secretly! Lesly, I’ll keep an eye on you and see how you will handle this autumn runway show!"
