Yvonne suddenly stood up, staring blankly at the composed Rafeel making his entrance.

Their shock was such that they missed what Rafael had just said.

Yvonne brushed a lock of hair behind her ear, lifted her chin with pride, and walked towards Rafael, fighting to keep her excitement at

bdy.

“Hello Rafael, I’m Yvonne.” She extended her hand in greeting, the other hand already clutching her phone, ready to snap a picture. This was a chance to brag to her girlfriends.

Of everyone backstage, Yvonne was the most stunning, and the prodigious girl. She believed Rafael wouldn’t remain unmoved.

However, Rafael didn’t spare her a glance, instead pulling Kaylee past her.

He stopped at station number 38, picked up the jacket laid out on the table, and asked Kaylee, “Is this the one?”

Kaylee, blushing, nodded. “Yes!”

Rafael quickly grabbed the jacket and headed to the dressing room, emerging soon after, perfectly attired.

The suit seemed tailored to Rafael’s aura.

It’s a seamless fit, as if it was made for him. Wild and unrestrained, it was an embodiment of his very essence

“What’s the deal with that girl? How did she get Rafael to model for her?”

Backstage, everyone huddled together, gossiping, still half in disbelief at the recent events.

“That girl really plays her cards close to her chest. Say, if I get on her good side, do you think I could get Rafael’s autograph?”

“I think you could!”

passed her a bag of chips.

“How did it go, Flora?”

ase, was there ever any doubt?” Dane raised an eyebrow, his tone cocky,

“With Flora on the case,

Flora smirked, “Send me your completed assignments after we get back”

A chorus of groans followed. That was so unfair of her! Why did she bring up such a terrifying topic while they were all enjoying themselves?

Flora tore open the chip bag, leaned back, and casually watched the stage while munching

Number 36 was up,

She glanced at the stage and then looked away. The design was too gaudy and had lost its essence

Flora was scrolling through her phone when suddenly, the stage erupted in screams.

“Ah! My eyes must be deceiving me!”

“Am I seeing things? Is that Rafael?”

“Woah!”
