A Moment in Destiny
Chapter 55: Sherry Saved The Occasion

"Hmm, actually Mr. Rowland had been very good to me!" Sherry said. He was willing to entrust such an important event for her to do in order to train her but at great risk to himself. If something were to go wrong, then William's loss would be immense.

"Only a gracious woman like you would be repeatedly bullied!" Susan laughed. "Okay, go and rest. I will inform you when the directors come"

"Okay!" She wasn't able to convince Susan so Sherry went to take a nap.

She didn't go to that villa these couple of days. That person also didn't contact her but the driver would go to pick her up after work every day but Sherry never accepted the ride.

At six o'clock in the evening.

The lights, the stage, the workers had arrived but the models team was short of one model because of a last-minute incident. That model sprained her ankle and was unable to turn up.

Susan glared at the person in charge of the model agency, "Mr. Aziz, don't you know that this will affect our fashion show? Why didn't you have some standby models? Is that all the models your agency has?"

Perhaps her voice was too loud and it woke Sherry up. She sprung up to her feet and looked at Susan talking to the person from the model agency.

"Ms. Gill, this is the start of the Winter season and there are two fashion event launches in A City right now. All our models had been assigned"

"I don't care, if you cause any delay to our event, you will be responsible for all the losses!"

"Ms. Gill, this was an accident! We also didn't wish for it to happen. Why can't we do it with one less model?"

"Mister, it will affect the look of our launch. The positions of the models had been determined and rehearsed. Now how are we going to let them rehearse again?"

"Susan, what's the matter?" Sherry heard part of it and felt the seriousness of the situation, "Is it very serious?"

"Tina sprained her ankle and they don't have a replacement. All their models had been assigned. We're short of one model!" Susan sought perfection in whatever she did.

Sherry also became anxious when she heard of this, "I'll call and ask other model agencies and see if they can send a model over!"

"Ms. Murray, you don't need to call. They're all out. All the models in K city had been deployed. Our agency is the largest in the city and we don't even have enough models. The problem is all the launch events are happening at the same time across the country!"

"Then what should we do?" Sherry's hand started to tremble.

Susan frowned and looked at Sherry who pursed her lips tightly and suddenly her eyes lit up, "Sherry, why don't you do it!"

"What?" Sherry was shocked, "Me? How can I? I'm only 1.63m and not tall enough!" S~ᴇaʀᴄh the FɪndNovᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"Sherry! You are very suitable for this attire. I'll have someone bring over a smaller size. Don't worry, we are doing the Winter season launch and it's different from the previous events. You don't have to worry so much"

"Susan!" Sherry was close to tears, "I don't know how to catwalk! I totally don't have any experience!"

"Stop refusing, there is no other choice. It's decided then. There's only one more hour and you are familiar with the entire sequences. No one is more familiar with it than you. Even if we find someone else, it will be difficult for them to link up the sequences, understand?" Susan said seriously, "I'll teach you the key points, come with me!"

"But.."

"No more buts, Sherry, we are in charge of today's event. We can't afford for anything to go wrong, understand?" Susan said seriously, "Trust me, I'll do this if I'm ten years younger and won't force you to do it. I've done something like this before to save the occasion. Don't be nervous!"

Susan overbearingly pushed Sherry to the changing room and called for the makeup artist to do a makeover for Sherry. Makeup was put on and her hair was done and even her fingernails were done and glittering.

Sherry was once again being thrust into the limelight.

At half-past seven that night, the reporters and the audience arrived.

At seven forty-five, the company department leaders and regional distributors arrived.

At seven-fifty, William and Liam arrived.

Once they arrived, the reporters started to take their pictures feverishly. The atmosphere tensed up and the sound of chatters turned silent. Everyone kept quiet.

The people held their breath because they don't know how to describe the two men. William maintained expressionless. He was devilishly handsome. He glanced around the event and under the dark night, his deep and his eyes were profound and unpredictable. The man who became a myth of the business world sparked everyone to start whispering to each other.

William's arrival caused a commotion. For him to enter with his army of bodyguards was eye-catching enough. One would be smitten by looking at his cool and handsome face. The women present were mesmerized by his natural good looks and the men were respectful of his cool deterrence. Regardless, they were shocked by his charm and made their thoughts take a pause.

Once William sat down, he whispered to Alice, "Where is Ms. Murray?"

At seven fifty-nine.

The time was counting down like the launch of a rocket.

When it was time, Sherry immediately felt deaf and her palms started to sweat, "Susan, I can't go up, I don't know how to catwalk!"

"You'll know what to do when you go up. I already instructed people to guide you. You don't have to walk too much. Sherry, you can do it, you can!" Susan patted her face, "Look at how beautiful you are. You will drive men wild! Be confident, let them become wild! You must believe that you have the ability!"

Sherry looked into the mirror at herself, was this really her? Can she be so attractive? But this was not an evening ball like the last time she danced with William.

This was a fashion launch. She was not in this profession. How could she be doing the catwalk? "Susan, I don't want men to become wild, I only don't want myself to go insane!"

Oh lord! She really didn't want to go mad!

"Er! Sherry, is that really you?" Ms. Hines looked at Sherry with the makeup with her eyes wide open in disbelief.

"Anna, we are short of models and Sherry is helping to save the occasion!" Susan laughed and when she saw Sherry's transformation, she became even more confident. At times, beauty and poise were far more important than the catwalk.

"This reminded me of six years ago during the spring fashion launch!" Ms. Hines raised her eyebrows, "Now Sherry looked so much like what you did during that launch event!"

Susan laughed and grinned, "Sadly, I've aged!"

"Time!" A worker announced.

"Ms. Hines, do you think I'm alright like that?" Sherry was still unsure of herself.

"Yes, why not?" Ms. Hines comforted her, "Sherry, you can do it, be confident in yourself!"

"Yes!" Sherry nodded and then lowered her head as the rest of the models started to walk out.

Deep breath! Deep breath! Sherry said to herself. This was her last work at the Rowland Group. It's not a big deal. After this catwalk, she would be able to leave if there were no mistakes in this event. She didn't want to see William again. After seeing Mr. Fox, all the more she can't face William. So she might as well leave.

Just before Sherry stepped out, Susan grabbed her and said, "Sherry, don't think about the catwalk. Just relax and think of my design, my inspiration which encompassed success, and the meaning of love. I believe that you are someone who understands love. Go, you can do it!"

Sherry nodded.

"You're up!" Someone shouted.

Sherry was pushed out and for a split second, her mind was totally blank.

But once she stepped out onto the platform, it was as if something came over her and her fighting spirit erupted. It's just a catwalk. I've seen the models do this countless times. Apart from being a little shorter, she wasn't inferior in any way!

When she thought of it that way, her self confidence was immediately boosted! She relaxed and walked out confidently.

Although she was still unfamiliar with the catwalk, she had a sweet and alluring smile.

"Good lord! Will, that, isn't... isn't that Sherry?" Liam almost screamed.

William was looking for Sherry but didn't expect her to appear on the stage.

William nodded nonchalantly and then continued to scan the crowd. In the end, his attention locked onto the petite body on

the stage. Damn it, woman, did you intend to become famous in a night?

"Will, why is Sherry on the stage?" Liam was surprised.

At this moment, Alice walked over and said softly, "Mr. Rowland, one of the models from the agency had a problem and they can't find a replacement. So Sherry filled in at the last minute!"

"Was that Susan's idea?" Liam immediately knew that it was Susan's idea. That woman was a perfectionist and even allowed Sherry to showcase herself.

"Ms. Ryan!" William shouted at Alice.

Alice immediately stepped closer to him and smiled politely, "Yes, Mr. Rowland!"

"Once Ms. Murray is off the stage get her to come immediately to see me. I don't allow her to be interviewed by any media!"

William said casually while his eyes were locked onto the person on the stage.

"Yes!" Alice understood his instructions and went backstage.

Liam turned around to look at the reporters and practically every camera was pointed to the stage.

On the T shaped stage, Sherry dressed in a "China Red" plush short skirt and looked amazingly beautiful. It expressed the

Chinese culture and her elegance and beauty. Her slim legs were accentuated by the lights and red short skirt amidst the black, white, and gray background making it extremely eye catching.

At that moment, countless eyes and flashes were upon Sherry.

Sherry became dizzy with the camera flashes. She had gone through a lot over the years and could endure all sorts of

surprises and uncomfortable feelings. She turned calmly and continued to walk towards backstage.

She walked calm and leisurely and looked rather professional.

Susan heaved a sigh of relief.

William's cold expression deepened and was fixated on that petite body. He pursed his lips. Damn woman, he should have

confined her up!

William stood up and turned around and thought of something.

"Will, where are you going?" The event launch hadn't ended, could he be leaving?

William walked briskly away towards the backstage.

The hour-long fashion show was very successful!

The reporters rushed backstage to enquire about Sherry but they weren't able to interview her because the backstage suddenly had numerous bodyguards guarding the place.

"Sherry, it was very successful!" Susan nodded happily.

Sherry already changed back into her clothes, "Susan, thank goodness there weren't any mistakes. I'll go and continue with the other work!"
