Eric thought that attending Emily's so-called fashion show would be a very easy thing, but the next day, Emily, who learned that Erick had agreed, solemnly came to the East Hampton manor again, and Eric realized that Emily's plan was much more than just having Eric participate in a catwalk.

The whole thing was a marketing campaign orchestrated by Emily, who sent out invitations to Hollywood stars under the guise that Eric would be presenting at Brighten's new product show. Because Eric, a Hollywood tycoon, is about to attend, many celebrities who originally had to consider the schedule even to attend the fashion shows of top brands such as Chanel and Givenchy agreed one after another.

Through excellent media public relations, in just a few days, the originally unknown Brighton clothing brand frequently appeared in various entertainment and fashion news because of the news that many Hollywood stars were about to attend. New York Fashion Week just started, and it was stolen half of the limelight by Brighton outfits.

At this time, Emily and Pakula sisters are personally preparing for Eric to dress for tonight's fashion show. In the hall of the manor villa there are three rows of movable hangers full of men's clothes, as well as a large collection of men's shoes.

Most men don't like to try on clothes like women do, and Eric is no different. Seeing Emily Brighton pick out a very stream-of-consciousness silver-white pendant among a large pile of jewelry and walk towards him, Eric, who had been tossed for more than an hour, finally couldn't help but burst out: "Stop, Emily, if you dare to hang that chain around my neck, I won't go anywhere tonight." ”

Amid the snickering of Joanna and Eva at the same time, Emily pouted, "What a boring man." And it's not around the neck. This is a hanging ornament that imitates the tassels of military uniforms. ”

Emily said. He gestured in front of him with the pendant.

Eric pulled the black jacket on his body up, feeling that the size of the black jacket seemed to be a little small, but after choosing for more than an hour, Eric really didn't want to toss anymore, moved his somewhat tense body, and said: "That's it, I'm not a woman, and if I dress too much, people will be suspected of sexual orientation." ”

"Idiots are the ones who doubt your sexuality. Emily reluctantly put the ornament back in the jewelry box, and retorted, seeing Eric zip up his jacket, she came over dissatisfied, and reached out to help Eric unzip it again: "Don't you feel a little tight about this dress? ”

Eric blocked Emily's small hand and took care of the zipper: "It's so open, who will wear it!"

"Here's the sample, you just need to wear it tonight," Emily said. I went to another brooch-like thing, and saw Eric's appearance as if he were facing a great enemy. Hold it up and show him: "It's a company logo, it needs to be removed from your jacket." ”

Eric saw that the brooch was a string of 'Brighton' flowered English letters, so he reluctantly let Emily pin the little thing to her chest, looked at the mirror, and frowned slightly: "Isn't the gold too conspicuous, a little incongruous?"

"It's a little bit incongruous, but no one cares about it, and I had the models try it, and it's the best way to take pictures, it's very eye-catching," Emily explains.

Hearing Emily say this, Eric smiled and said, "I almost understand now, you plan to make me the spokesperson of your company, shall we talk about the endorsement fee first?"

Emily took a few steps back, took one last look at Eric's outfit, and stepped forward with Eva to help Eric adjust the collar, listening to Eric's joke, and also quipped: "Yes, you can pay as much endorsement fee as you want, and I will deduct it from your dividends on the company's shares at the end of the year." ”

Eric shrugged his shoulders and was about to say something, when he heard the cry of the little guy in the baby room, and he was about to walk there, but was pulled by Emily: "You can't hold the child now, in case the clothes on your body are wet with the little guy's urine, we will be busy all afternoon." ”

"I'll do it," Joanna said with a reassuring look at Eric as she walked into the nursery.

Eric looked at the voice of Joanna holding the little one in the baby room, looked at Emily in a standard black professional suit, and asked, "Chris will be back soon, when are you going to get married?"

Emily paused, and the originally shrewd and capable strong woman showed a trace of worry between her eyebrows, she was a very smart woman, thinking of what happened recently, she suddenly raised her head and looked at Eric: "Eric, it can't be your idea behind your back, right?"

Eric immediately pretended to be crazy and stupid: "What did you say?"

Noticing Eric's fleeting expression, Emily suddenly settled on her guess and complained, "You guy is so bad, he doesn't want to get married, he is free all day long, but he came up with the idea to let Jeffrey and my parents force me and Chris to marry together, they are driving me crazy these days." ”

Eric no longer denied it, and said with a wicked smile: "I'm not doing it for your good, you see, I have a son and a daughter now, and when you have a child, whether it's a boy or a girl, we can set the doll down." ”

Emily rolled her eyes at Eric, but didn't continue with the topic that bothered her.

The company's catwalk was arranged at seven o'clock in the evening, and everything was packed up, although it was not yet three o'clock in the afternoon, but East Hampton was more than 100 kilometers away from Manhattan, and Eric and his family had to set off for Manhattan early.

Sitting in the car, Emily expertly said to Eric about today's arrangement: "The catwalk starts at seven o'clock, about forty minutes, and then Vogue magazine will take a set of photos for you, and they will use it as the cover of the next issue, which I negotiated with the other party, and in exchange, they will do a special story for our fashion brand." Then we set up a celebratory banquet at the Hyatt Regency, Eric, I want you to be able to stay at least an hour at the party, the stars are coming for you. ”

Eric nodded, and after a simple calculation, it was estimated that it would be more than ten o'clock in the evening to complete all this. It also takes at least two hours to drive back to East Hampton from Manhattan. I won't be able to make it back tonight. Fortunately, Eric had already scheduled to go to Luc Besson's set tomorrow to see it.

Eric suddenly remembered another question: "Emily, didn't you say that the catwalk only takes more than ten minutes at the longest, how can it take forty minutes?"

Emily explains: "The catwalk is more than 10 minutes, but as is customary, all catwalks start with a half-hour delay, which is reserved for guests, fashion buyers and media professionals. ”

All the way to the New York Fashion Week base camp near Bryant Park in Manhattan, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon. Emily hurriedly explained a few words, leaving Eva and an assistant to accompany Eric, and she hurriedly left to make final preparations.

If Central Park is the size of a hand, Bryant Park in Midtown Manhattan is the size of a fingernail at best. As the base camp of New York Fashion Week, several white tents were erected on the lawn of Bryant Park at this time, and the park was crowded inside and out, with magnesium lights flashing around from time to time.

Although Eric's outfit at this time is good, compared to the surrounding crowd of strangely decorated, it can only be described as conservative. In order not to attract attention, Eric found a large pair of sunglasses to put on. picked another hat to cover it up a little, and he was completely reduced to a passerby.

Eva Pakula, who is attending Fashion Week for the first time, is quite excited. Although she was one of the models on the catwalk tonight, she had been training for many days, and with her special status, she didn't go backstage like other models, so she dragged Eric around.

Taking a photo with Eva in front of a delicate luxury brand logo, Eric just walked away when he saw a girl with a familiar face and delicate makeup who had just been guarding the neighborhood immediately occupied Eric's place, and began to pose for the photographer next to him.

Eric asked Eva and the female assistant beside him with some curiosity, "Are these things really so attractive to you?"

"Of course, I have my eye on a Chanel bag, but unfortunately I can't afford it now, and my sister only gives me $2,000 a month in pocket money, so I have to wait for my own money," Eva said with a little grumbling, holding Eric's arm.

Eric just smiled, these days, Eric can also see that Eva is a girl with a somewhat straight temperament, and she doesn't hide any thoughts at all, and Eric still likes this kind of girl. Moreover, as far as Eric knows, Joanna is not bad at all for this sister, not only bought her a small apartment in Manhattan, but even the money for participating in model training was paid by Joanna, and she took care of Eva in life, and the $2,000 pocket money that Eva said was really pocket money in the literal sense, which is estimated to be more than all the living expenses of the Manhattan Ant Clan every month.

The assistant, who had been following the two of them, listened to Eva's words, pointed to the girl who had just taken the photo of Eric and Eva and said, "Mr. Williams, you mean them, right?"

"yes," Eric nodded.

The assistant said with some disdain in his tone: "Mr. Williams, in fact, most of them are here to show off. ”

Noticing Eric's puzzled eyes, the assistant continued: "There are only a few celebrities who have received official invitations to Fashion Week, and a large part of them are just some small stars and models who are eager to become famous, and they don't even receive any brand invitations, but just go to Fashion Week to pose for some photos, or wait for some well-known brands to take a few photos in the show after the show is over, so that they can easily publish press releases in magazines, such as "XXX made a stunning appearance at New York Fashion Week" One is to enhance one's own fame. This is a good way for those stars to maintain or even enhance their fame without film and television works. ”

After listening to this, Eric smiled and said to Eva, "You are also the kind of person who is a showman, right?"

Eva said a little proudly: "Yes, but those people are Chanel, Givenchy, and Valentino, and they are useless." All I have to do is rub around Eric Williams and I'll be on the front page of entertainment magazines tomorrow. ”

Eric nodded solemnly: "It's so scheming." ”

Eva immediately betrayed her 'teammates' without any scheming: "Hehe, this is what Emily taught me. ”

The three of them wandered around until about six o'clock, when the female assistant who followed Eric answered the phone, and then stepped forward to remind the two of them that it was time to prepare, and led the two towards a tent on the lawn of Bryant Park.

Emily was communicating something with a bearded middle-aged man, and when she saw Eric coming with Eva, she brought the middle-aged man over and introduced, "Eric, this is Mr. Jim Cortris, the merchandising director of Marks & Spencer in the United Kingdom. ”

"Hello, Mr. Williams, I love your movie," the bearded middle-aged man shook Eric's hand warmly.

Eric exchanged a few words with the other party, and saw that people had begun to enter the show on the red carpet not far away, Emily gave a few instructions to the assistant, and then asked Eric to take off his hat and eyes, and said, "Eric, although you are a big name, but I still have a lot of people to socialize, you don't mind going in early, right?"

Eric smiled and said, "No problem. ”

After Eric finished speaking, he walked towards the red carpet under the guidance of the staff, and many people had already received the news that Eric would appear tonight, and there were obviously far more people around the neighborhood than the other tent entrances.

Seeing Eric on the red carpet with a tall blonde in his arms, there was an immediate commotion in the crowd, and Eric could hear the screams of several female voices.

The flash flashed wildly, and Eric waved his hand at the crowd with a faint smile, and immediately there was a small cheer, if it weren't for the security and chains, these people would have been unable to help but rush up.

Although there would be reporters outside from time to time to ask various questions, Eric remained silent, and after posing for a series of photos, Eric walked towards the show with Eva in his arms.

"Alright, your mission is done," Eva said with a bit of affection rubbing Eric on the spotlight she had just received, "I'm going to get ready for the catwalk." ”

After the girl finished speaking, she hurried to the backstage.

Eric looked at the not-so-bright show, the white runway was empty, but there were already some people sitting on the stepped chairs on either side of the show.

The staff member sent Eric into the runway and turned to leave. Eric remembered Emily telling him where he was, and walked over after a moment's discernment.

As soon as he walked in, Eric saw a red figure taking his place, and although the light was not too bright, Eric could tell at a glance that it was an Asian girl.

The girl has neat and neat short ear-length hair, wears a bright red shirt with a slightly open collar, a pair of slim trousers on the lower body to set off two slender legs, and a pair of very handsome black leather boots on her feet.

Eric didn't immediately recognize the girl's identity, but he remembered someone else. (To be continued......)
