"Don't be bemused, it's just the news! It's Alya Césaire and Nadia Shamack reporting live at the annual Preston's Gala Red Carpet Event! and what a beautiful evening it is tonight! Isn't it, Nadia?"
Alya confidently boasted as she waved her hands in the air, gesturing towards the beautiful sunset.
"Indeed it is, Alya! We are here tonight to showcase and catch a glimpse of all the arriving stars and celebrities of the evening!"
As the reporters spoke more on the event, anticipation from watchers all over Paris grew as stars began arriving in the background. Fiona nervously patted down her golden silk dress as she looked out the tinted window.
"Fiona. I expect you on your best behavior tonight. You are representing the Lawrence brand."
Her father reprimanded his daughter, leaning on his golden cane in between his legs.
"Of course father."
Fiona mumbled, feeling her mother's hand on hers. Her mother smiled widely and caressed her cheek
"You look beautiful, darling."
Fiona forced a smile at her mother as the limo slowly came to a stop in front of the carpet.
"Remember now darling. Eyes bright, chins up, smiles on"
Her mother spoke before exiting out of the limo, hand in hand with her father. Fiona waited for her cue before exiting out the limo and onto the red carpet. As soon as she stepped out, cameras began flashing, reporters raised their microphones and Fiona's name could be heard from all sorts of directions.
You can do this Fiona. This will all be over soon.
Fiona formed her signature model smile and slowly began walking the lush red carpet. She posed alongside the beautiful matching backdrop, that illuminated her golden dress.
Fiona over here! Who are you wearing Fiona! Is this a Gabriel original!
All of those voices faded from Fiona's head. All she could focus on was the end of the carpet. Sierra slowly waved on the halfway point of the carpet as Fiona approached.
"You are doing great! You look amazing!"
Sierra boasted as she carefully patted Fiona's face down with a damp towel. As she did that, Fiona could see Chole and Marinette linking arms as they made their way through the carpet. That brought an immediate smile to Fiona's face as Sierra fanned her face.
"You'll see them soon! I'm really glad Chole brought such a pretty girl alongside her, it definitely looks good for her image."
Fiona's smile faded as she heard that comment.
Not everything is for one's personal gain. Chole was nice enough to invite Marinette because she's our friend. It's what friends do.
Sierra adjusted Fiona's dress before lightly pushing her back onto the carpet.
"Okay, I'll meet you at the next checkpoint! Make sure to rock those interview questions!"
