“Ahh— Leo! Help me!” Erin kept screaming, which made her throat hurt. Her veins almost popped into her neck, and she gasped when she couldn't breathe properly.
She gritted her teeth when Leo didn't even hear her shout, or maybe, he acted like he was deaf. A tear slowly formed in her eyes; she couldn't believe that Leo would treat her like this. Leo was always sweet when it came to her. He always prioritized her whenever she needed him.
“You should stop screaming, Miss.” The man whispered. He opened the boss's room, and he saw the woman who was sitting on the swivel chair. She arched her brow and then looked at her from head to toe. The woman scoffed at her and pointed to the chair in front of her.
“We received a report that someone cut the gown I designed.” The woman started. She put her hands on the table and gave her a deathly glare.
“Miss Erin, did you know how much it cost? Maybe, you are from a wealthy family, so it's not a big deal to you if you pay for my gown.”
Erin flushed. She tried to maintain her composure, for she thought they didn't have enough evidence to point her as the one who cut Blossom's gown.
Maybe, Blossom told this woman that she was the one who sabotaged her, but she didn't have proof. She mocked. She humiliated Blossom before her boss so no one could accept her as the model.
“I don't know what you're talking about, madam. I've been watching—”
“You went to my model lounge even though you are prohibited from going there. I don't even know you, and maybe, I don't know that you exist because you aren't worthy of knowing.” The woman's jaw tensed into much anger. She wanted to slap Erin for ruining the gown she had designed for the ramp. It's too expensive to search for the silk that they need. She created it exclusively for Blossom because she's the only one who can give justice to her gown.
“Miss, you pulled me here in your office without investigating everything,” Erin smirked. She crossed her arms and proudly scoffed. “If you have evidence to show, I'm innocent here.”
“You're not innocent. What makes you think that we don't have evidence right now? Of course, I have. You have your fingerprint on the scissors of the gown.” Erin was stunned. She forgot that she had used the scissor.
“Maybe, someone was trying to blame me. Why don't you ask your model?”
“I asked my models, and they told me you acted entitled when you went to the model's lounge. I can't believe that a mistress like you dared to look at me proudly. Aside from that, I didn't even say to anyone that I had CCTV inside the lounge, so we checked it. You're the one who cut Blossom's gown. How could you act like someone was trying to set you up? We're not stupid like you!” Erin trembled. How was it possible that there were CCTV cameras in the lounge? She made sure and checked everything.
“No! These are allegations. I won't admit anything that I didn't do. Blossom was lying! How could she create a story? I'm innocent!” Erin screamed, and her eyes expanded.
“What is happening here?” Erin's face enlightened when she heard Leo's voice. She almost jumped out of her chair. She stood up excitedly and rushed to Leo, who was looking at her coldly.
The woman scoffed. Of course, she knew that this man was Blossom's husband. And as a woman, she felt disgusted even more with him after he exposed himself to Erin.
“Leo! Help me. They're accusing me of ruining the gown!” Erin embraced him and acted like she was bullied. She started to sob; she knew that Leo would help her.
“Do you have proof that she did that? You don't have—”
“Mr. Fontaine, please don't mind if I ask you what your relationship with this woman is. So it's true that she's your mistress, and I felt bad for Blossom for having a man like you.” The woman mocked him. Does Leo think that she will be afraid of him? She's known in the industry since she was young.
“I'm talking to your other woman about what she did. Of course, we have proof that she did it, but she kept denying everything.” The woman added. She raised her brow when Leo didn't even say anything.
“I wanted to see the truth. Maybe, someone was trying to point her to the didn't commit.” Leo blankly uttered. He caressed Erin's back which made Erin smirk as she had won.
“Are you telling me that your wife was lying?” The woman laughed so loudly. She couldn't believe that Blossom had married a disgusted man. Leo might be successful in the eyes of the majority, but still, for her, he was too stupid to discern what was true and what was a lie.
“Oh, my husband is here. I can't believe that you're here to defend your mistress.” Blossom boldly expressed. She went into her boss's room, and she felt disappointed that Leo was trying to cover up Erin.
She is still wearing the fitted dress that she designed for herself. She asked her boss if she was permitted to redesign her gown, and she approved it while they were investigating everything.
“Blossom,” Leo called his wife. He wasn't aware that he had almost pushed Erin away from him. He moved closer to Blossom, who was looking at him blankly.
“Leo, if you want to know the truth. I'm willing to show you my evidence, and if you want to check the scissor that she used, then go. It's alright since I know that the truth always comes out.” Blossom went to the woman's back. She tapped her shoulder.
“Your mistress ruined the dress that my friend designed for me. Did you think that I would lie? Aside from that, I asked Uriel's help to check the fingerprint, which showed that it matched Erin's fingerprint.” Blossom shook her head. She chuckled when she saw how pale Erin's face was.
Leo frowned. He didn't know it was Blossom's dress because she modeled an excellent design. He glimpsed Erin. He sighed.
“Erin, did you do that? You know that I hate liars, right?” Leo inquired, which made Erin shake in fear.
“L-Leo, it's because Blossom kept bullying me in the model's lounge. I was so mad that she spread the news that I slept with a random man to get a slot in modeling.” Erin explained. She gnashed her teeth. She wanted to grasp Blossom's hair even more. She wished that she would die so that she would be Leo's wife.
“Okay, it means you committed it. Why don't you ask for their forgiveness instead of denying everything? Do you want them to ask for the police assistant?” Erin's mouth hangs open. She couldn't believe that Leo didn't have any plans to help her out!
Blossom smirked when Erin was astounded that Leo had no plans to help her. She laughed so loud.
“Erin, we tried to give you a chance to admit what you did. But you chose to deny everything even though we told you that we have enough evidence that will point to you that you're the one who ruined that expensive gown. If you think that we're talking to you to get money, you're wrong. We don't have any plans to settle this issue.”
“You're boasting about your attorney. Then let's see if your attorney might help you in this case. Please, don't you dare use my husband's attorney because you don't know how capable I am of making your life miserable.” Blossom added.
Erin cried, and she was about to hug Leo again when Leo moved back. He sighed deeply as if he was trying to calm himself. He felt disappointed for what Erin did to Blossom. He didn't know that she was capable of doing that.
“Leo, why don't you comfort her? She needed your hugs so she might find the strength to fight in court.” Blossom sarcastically mocked. She laughed and patted the woman's shoulder again.
The man pulled Erin out of the room, and Leo didn't leave as long as Blossom was still inside. He watched her like a hawk, and he couldn't remove his eyes from her body.
“Blossom, I'm thankful that you saved this ramp for me. I'm not wrong to choose you as my final model. Seriously, you redesigned my gown to be more fabulous than the original.” The woman hugged Blossom, which made her chuckle.
“But, I like the gown that you created for me. You that I waited for that gown in a year. Sadly I wore it for an hour because of Erin.”
“Don't mind that bitch. You're too good; that's why she's too insecure about you. When you're single, I'm trying to blind date you to a lovely man. If you listen to what I told you, I'm sure that you will be happy right now. I can't believe that you are marrying someone who can't distinguish what's the difference between an expensive diamond and a coil.” The woman touched her mouth. Though she intentionally let Leo hear her words.
“You should divorce him. My son was still waiting for you!” Blossom bit her lips when she saw Leo's face darkened in madness.
“Oh, please stop doing this. I told you I like him to be my friend, and I know that your son understands.”
“I don't think so. He kept asking about you, and I pity him because he couldn't get the woman he liked.”
Leo scowled. Does this woman keep pushing his buttons? If she's not Blossom's friend, he might close this event if he wants to. Does this woman know him?
“Next time, I want you to eat with my family. Oh, and I want to inform you that there are a lot of people who ordered your designs. I can't believe this!”
Blossom left the office without glancing at Leo, but Leo quickly followed her like a dog. He grabbed her hand, which made her stop and turn to face him.
“I don't even know that you can design a gown. You should create a design and—”
“Leo, I'm not surprised that you didn't even know the slightest about me. Yeah, I can design a gown, but it's just a hobby.” Leo stopped. How did Blossom conclude that so quickly? She didn't even know the truth! He knew everything about her, so he was shocked that Blossom had redesigned her gown.
He sighed deeply.
“Okay, do you want to have dinner with me?” Leo asked. He held her soft hand and massaged it.
“Leo, I thought you didn't have plans to bring Erin here. But, I saw you together.” Blossom angrily stated. She tried to pull her hand, but Leo held it tighter. They didn't notice that Erin was watching them while clenching her teeth.
“I told you I didn't have plans to bring her here. I was shocked that she had an economy ticket. Okay, I bought three VIP tickets so that I could watch you without someone disturbing me.” Leo explained.
Blossom mocked. She pursed her lips and smirked at him.
“But that's not what she told me. She said that you bring her here on my ramp. How dare you expose your affair here? You disrespectful bastard!” Blossom gritted her teeth irritably.
“Miss Blossom! Someone sent you a bouquet!” The other models exclaim, which makes Blossom frown.
She was about to go to her co-models, but Leo didn't let her. She could see that he was violent.
“Leo, I need to get the bouquet!” Blossom winced when Leo held her hand tighter, making Leo free her hand when he saw how she winced.
“I want you to throw that fucking flowers. I have flowers for you. So you shouldn't accept a flower from another man.”
