FLASH MARRIAGE; CHARMED BY THE RUTHLESS BILLIONAIRE CEO - Chapter 72

Chapter 72: The Fashion Show

The atmosphere inside the hall was electrifying with guests chatting lively and the background music inspiring awe.

From the captivating decoration to the brilliantly colourful LED lighting illuminating the slightly elevated fashion ramp, everything in the hall was spectacular.

“Amelia!” Nicole called out waving enthusiastically from the front row where their other friends were seated.

“Hi girls” Amelia excitedly made her way to them after exchanging warm pleasantries with her many friends and admirers inside the hall. She beamed sweetly as all her girlfriends stood up to receive her, except one person whose face she couldn’t see at that moment.

“I thought you wouldn’t come,” Nicole said hugging her briefly. “Kayla has been asking after you and she swore she would eat you for lunch if you didn’t show up”

“But you know me, I wouldn’t miss this for the world.” Amelia beamed, exchanging pleasantries with her other friends, until Tina finally stood up, revealing her remorseful face.

She was looking dazzling in her deep V-neck shimmering green gown that accentuated her sexy shape in all the right spots.

“You look gorgeous, Amelia,” Tina said, smiling sweetly at her.

“So do you.” Amelia’s smile thinned out.

“I kept…”

“Where is Stacy?” Amelia cut Tina off, looking away from her direction to Adrianna.

“She’s with Kayla at the backstage. She helping out with some of the models.” Adriana answered, her suspicious gaze darting between Tina and Amelia.

Just then, a handsome you fellow apparelled in a well-fitted fashionable green double-breasted suit made his way towards the ladies.

“Who is that tall drink of water approaching us.” Joanna’s eyes brightened up.

“Where?” Nicole asked excitedly tilting her head backwards.

“On Amelia’s three o’clock.” Joanna directed.

“Oooo…He looks classy and rich.” Adrianna said eying the handsome gentle man on dark aviator shades.

“More like a superstar.” Tina chirped, smiling at Amelia.

Amelia also turned to look at this so-called handsome rich man.

“Tyler!” Amelia echoed as he approached her.

“You know him?” Nicole wasn’t surprised anymore that Amelia knew every rich, handsome and powerful bachelor in Salvine City.

“Hello, Miss Amelia,” Tyler said in a smooth sexy voice as he gently took her right hand and raised it up to her lips. “You look absolutely breathtaking.” He pressed his lips on the back of her hand, causing Amelia’s cheeks to give off a pinkish glow.

“Such a gentleman.” Amelia quickly slipped her hand away from Tyler’s gentle hold, her eyes scanning around the hall for any sign of Blaze. She could feel his dangerous and overwhelming aura in the hall filled with lots of guests. But she couldn’t seem to find him anywhere.

“Amelia, won’t you introduce us to your friend?” Nicole asked, pinching her on the side.

“Oh… where are my manners? Please pardon me, girls. I would like you all to meet Tyler Young, a quintessential lawyer with the Have Solicitors firm in country X. He recently relocated to Salvine City to manage a new firm and his father, Tylor Young happens to be a newly acquired top investor at LiLa Savvy” Amelia said with so much pride lacing her tone.

“Oh my goodness!” Nicole exclaimed.

“Impressive?” Adrianna fanned herself with her hand, batting her lashes at Tyler.

“I’m a huge admirer of your father, Tyler” Joanna pushed her way forward to catch Tyler’s attention. “The name is Joanna Russell.” She extended her right her to Tyler who methodologically shook her before reverting his attention to his main target.

“I hope you ladies wouldn’t mind if I sit beside you.”

“Not at all.” They all chorused aside Amelia, who was feeling a bit edgy, knowing Tyler was into her.

“Let’s all get seated. I think the event is about to start.” Joanna gestured at them as some of the guests behind started complaining about their obstructive position.

“Amelia, you can see beside me.” Tina quickly offered pointing at the seat between her and Joanna.

“Thanks, but I think I’ll be fine here.” Amelia took Nicole’s seat, forcing others to change their positions.

Tyler waited for all the ladies to settle down before pleading with Adrianna to take the next seat to her right so that he could sit beside Amelia.

Adrianna happily obliged at a chance to be seated next to the great Tylor’s son. That would sure give her an edge over Joanna who was also aiming for the same man.

“What is happening between you and Amelia?” Joanna asked eying Tina, who was forced to move closer to her.

“Yeah, what is the matter between you two?” Nicole whispered as the light in the hall where all the guests were seated dimmed, leaving only the beautifully illuminated fashion ramp.

“Amelia is mad at me.” Tina pouted, wearing a sympathetic look to gain others’ attention.

“Why?” Joanna asked, a bit confused. “Have you guys met since the last time we were gathered at the bar?”

“Yes.” Tina nodded, squeezing out a tear and dabbing at it with her handkerchief.

“This must be serious.” Nicole had a worried look on her face. “Amelia isn’t the type to get mad at people unless you have done something really bad to her.”

“Exactly!” Joanna concurred. “What did you do to her?”

“You remember my ex, whom I’m trying to win over,” Tina said softly.

“Yes.” Both ladies nodded.

“Amelia is friends with his mom.”

“Really.” Nicole was stunned, seeing where Tina was going.

“If I may ask, who is this your ex-boyfriend? I think it’s high time we know his name so that we don’t go after him.” Joanna suggested.

“Yeah, tell us his name.” Nicole encouraged Tina.

A smile flashed across Tina’s eyes as she said. “He is Blaze Anderson.”

“Blaze Anderson?” Joanna eyed Tina suspiciously.

“Are you referring to The Blaze Anderson, the youngest billionaire CEO and chairman of Andex groups?” Nicole’s jaws dropped.

“And do not forget to add, the most ruthless and cold-hearted billionaire in this City,” Joanna added.

Tina’s heart swelled with the bride. “Yes. He is the same one.”

“No way. There are no records of that handsome devil ever dating a single girl.” Nicole said eying Tina as though she were telling a lie.

“Yes, some people even think he’s gay,” Joanna said in a hushed voice, leaning closer.
