Chapter 237
Chloe barely had time to explain.
The young man standing in front of her was like a gift from the heavens just when she needed it most. The original model was supposed to be tall and big-boned, more so than most women.Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
With less than half an hour before the show, Chloe was in a real bind. She couldn't find another female model who matched that physique. Then she spotted Pax. He was tall and lean, just what she needed.
Nina's eyes lit up when she saw him. After a quick explanation, Pax understood the situation. He was more than willing to help out. Soon enough, the dress was on Pax, fitting him perfectly. Despite his lean build, his frame was naturally larger than that of the female models, which actually turned out to be a good thing. Chloe quickly adjusted the popped seams, and twenty minutes later, the sand dress was shining brilliantly on Pax, looking as if it was tailored just for him.
From top to bottom, it was simply perfect, and Pax's physique was top-notch. Chloe suddenly remembered that Pax had mentioned he did some part- time modeling. The dress didn't look out of place on him at all; in fact, it looked incredibly high-end, almost like a piece of art. The people around them gasped in amazement.
Only Lisa, standing in the corner, was grinding her teeth. She hadn't expected Chloe to turn things around so spectacularly. Fate seemed too kind to Chloe. There was nothing Lisa could do now. She could only watch as Chloe took her masterpiece to the runway.
Not that Lisa was too worried, though. Her creation had already received a combined score of 95. Surpassing such a high score was no easy feat. Soon, it was Chloe and Pax's turn to take the stage. Pax seemed hesitant. "Chloe, I want to wear a mask. My face can't appear on TV."
Chloe was taken aback. "Why?" Wasn't he a part-time model? Appearing in a show like this was a golden opportunity for models.
"My family doesn't like this industry. They have high hopes for me to go into finance and make a lot of money. They don't like me to venture into entertainment or art."
Chloe could understand. Pax had mentioned before that his family was poor. They probably pinned all their hopes and savings on his education. Moreover, in the competition, a mask was considered part of the outfit and wasn't prohibited.
Chloe immediately grabbed a piece of cardboard and cut it into an irregular shape with flowing tassels. She applied a layer of glue and sprinkled finely crushed blue

crystals over it. After securing the mask with some wire, a blue mask was ready within five minutes.
Nina watched in awe. Chloe's design talent was incredible, but what amazed her even more was how Pax looked wearing the mask. The shape covered most of his face leaving only his eyes and a small portion of skin visible. The mask's edge extended to his ears, blending seamlessly with the dress' raised triangular collar.
The combination of blue and gold was like an oasis in a vast desert, evoking a sense of renewed hope. Chloe's impromptu mask turned out to be a stroke of genius.
