Inside the grand auditorium of Fabiosa head-office, everything was ready for the grand auditions to begin. The guests had started pouring in and the media had collected outside the building, to catch a glimpse of all the important guests, entering the premises.
The large red carpet, leaded the way to the gigantic auditorium, which was richly decorated with dried trees. Small tiny crystal were hung on these trees, giving the look of freshly fallen dew drops.
Soon, after another 15 minutes the three judges seated themselves on their seats, welcomed by a huge appluase from the audience.
Soon the lights were dimmed, fousing on the vast ramp which was creatively designed to look like a water stream. The theme for the evening was nature, thus every color and decoration of the evening, was according to the theme.
Soon, the show started and the names of the models were announced turn by turn. They all were wearing beautiful green and yellow dresses. Every dress represented the spark and beauty of natute in its own way. The audience was looking at the skillful models and their clothings in an awe. Turn by turn, every model walked the ramp and presented herself skillfully. Stefen could not help but feel proud at the entire senario. He had been preparing this theme day and night, from past four months. It was his idea to combine the auditions and ramp show in one, turning it into a major fas.h.i.+on event.
The evening"s show stopper, just reached the back stage after re-doing her dress, makeup and hairdo, along with the stylists. "Oh! We are late!"
The stylist ran towards the announcer but by that time the name of the show-stopper was announced as "Cheryl Fernandez."
Soon, the announcer was informed by the stylist about the change in the show-stopper"s name.
"We have a little change in the order. Our new show stopper for the evening will be Miss. Vicky Dona."
Vicky entered the stage in a beautiful waterfall dress, revealing her perfect smile. The dress was intricately embroidered with blue colored flowers and swaroski stones.The long trail of the dress was covered with embroidered green leaves. The audience applauded not just at the beautiful attire, but at Vicky"s confidence and grace. She looked like a G.o.ddess who has stepped out from heaven, to captivate the hearts of ordinary human beings on earth.
Stefen, who was constantly gazing at the red-headed beauty and could not help but feel gulity. He had recommended Cheryl in cront of Rose, to be the next show-stopper. Rose who never ever gave a second thought to Stefen"s suggestion had readily agreed!
But, clearly today Stefen realised, Vicky was the best in her job! Even when she was removed from her position, she did not leave Fabiosa. Inspite of getting drool-worthy offers from various other fas.h.i.+on houses, she stuck her loyalty towards Fabiosa happily.
As soon as Vicky completed half of her walk, various people from the audiences stood up to applaud for her. Even Stefen could not help, to give her a standing ovation. Vicky"s eyes were filled with tears, but nevertheless, she maintained her smile and charm and bowed gracefully in response.
After Vicky was almost about to complete her walk, Stefen picked up the microphone immediately.
"Miss Vicky! You were your usual charming self."
Vicky was stunned for a few seconds and turned to look at Stefen. She smiled at Stefen and bowed again in reverence.
"May I know the reason of the sudden change in show-stopper."
Vicky stood bewildered as she was handed over the microphone, to reply.
"Umm..Miss Cheryl is feeling a little under the weather, so I had to take her position suddenly." Vicky was now extremely nervous, though she was yet smiling. She thought that she will be sacked any moment for taking up Cheryl"s position without informing the boss. In no way she intended to steal the position like this. She was just helping the company to save the evening.
The stylists who were looking at the entire senario from back-stage were also surprised and nervous, looking at Stefen"s sudden questioning in between the show.
