Chapter 173 The definition of brilliant 1
Finally, the party was about to end.
Unlike all other banquets, however, the guests did not start to leave right away as they were waiting to see Liliana confront Alice.
Alice was a nobody, but Liliana was the mystery that was clouding over all of their heads. The temptation to know more was irresistible.
Lydia was miserable. All their plans had failed and she had been humiliated in every aspect.
She saw Alice as the last chip to get back at Liliana, unpromising as it was.
Lydia pushed Alice towards Liliana for a confrontation.
Alice clenched her fist, she was not in any state to say anything against Lydia.
“Miss Alice, are you done?” Liliana asked.
The guests all became quiet as they started watching.
“There was not anything to work with and with the short time, this was all I could manage.” Alice stammered as she highlighted the lack of materials and time.
She had turned the tablecloth into a simple free-size off-shoulder top which was one of the simplest things to do and anyone who could stitch could do it.
It was barely a cut at the neck with an off-shoulder. And the off-shoulder part had been strewn to close the top.
Liliana asked one of the waiters to fetch the tools that Alice had used and a new tablecloth.
When the waiter was getting the things, Liliana walked around Alice, eyeing her body.
Alice shivered under her scrutiny but held on.
When the waiter arrived, Liliana cut the table cloth and started working on it.
Within half an hour, she had turned it into an exquisite top with a choker neck, and a flower on the left chest. There were flairs made of tablecloth at the bottom which gave it an uneven pattern that looked like streams flowing downward. The back was detachable to make the top backless up to the waist and the detached part could be folded inside the top giving it a completely different style. There was a belt that would hold it in place when it was turned backless.
Just with the help of a tablecloth, a needle, and thread, Liliana had produced an exquisite top.
Liliana showed it to everyone, and a waiter volunteered to wear it.
Liliana agreed and gave it to the waitress who put it on in front of everyone by using another tablecloth as a towel to hide while changing.
The guests were speechless.
Liliana showed it both ways – with back and backless and it looked like two different tops.
Liliana did not speak with Alice but asked for a bouncer to be brought in.
She asked the waitress to take off the top and asked the bouncer to tear the stitching apart.
He tried but the stitching could not come off. He stopped when the tablecloth was slightly torn in place of stitching which stubbornly remained intact.
Then she passed him the top stitched by Alice whose stitches came off with a smile yank.
“Miss Alice, as someone who is interested in fashion, I hope I don’t need to explain many things to you.
L&L Design has never had a single case of wardrobe malfunction. This had become a huge scoop sometime back and is known to everyone. Why then would you show me a top which can be pulled out by just anyone?”C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
Liliana asked Alice.
Alice felt defeated. It was as bad as it could get. If it was a flaw in the design, she would still have chances to muddle through. But a defect in fundamentals was not something anyone would tolerate.
And they were talking about L&L Designs, the leader in the fashion industry.
Lydia was not reconciled, especially seeing the beautiful top. She had never managed to get anything from L&L Designs.
“You should have specified what you wanted from the start.” Lydia shrieked.
Liliana ignored Lydia much to the latter’s fury.
Liliana then turned to Alice and said directly, “Actually, your chances of getting into L&L Designs were dashed the moment you spoke with me.”
The guests were all surprised.
Alice looked at her in horror.
