At the end of the fashion show, Asteria won two prizes: the Newcomer's Award and the Best Fashion Design Award. She became the first young designer who won the Newcomer's Award and the Best Fashion Design Award together at this fashion show.
While receiving the trophy, Asteria had also gotten a big bonus. More importantly, she finally reached her life's dream and became a designer that was recognized by professionals in the industry.
For Asteria, the most important thing was that with status, she could make more money. Then she could live in a bigger house with her father and live a better life.
Asteria had a serious illness three years ago. After recovering from the serious illness, she lost all the memories she had before. She didn't even remember who she was. NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.
Fortunately, her father accompanied her to restore her memory, and also helped her realize her talent in fashion design so that she could get today's good results.
Now, she had opened a studio with a few friends she knew from Milan. They were responsible for the design work, and her father was responsible for the business.
The studio had a total of five designers, including Asteria. There were three men and two women in the team. Moreover, the five of them were all founders and stakeholders of the studio. They came from all over the world and had different living styles. However, they seemed to work like a harmonious family.
However, Ivan was a well-known genius designer in the fashion design industry. When they heard that he was going to have dinner with them, everyone was very excited and thought that it would be better to take the opportunity to know him better.
Asteria explained the situation to her team because she wanted them to oppose the idea, but it turned out that they liked the idea.
Ivan sat next to Asteria. Other people wanted to talk to him, but he ignored them. His eyes fell on her face, as if he wanted to see through her.
Being stared at during the meal, Asteria felt uncomfortable, but she persevered and didn't lose her temper.
After a long time, Ivan finally said, "Miss Asteria, you look like someone I've met before."
Asteria was drinking juice. When she heard what he said, she looked up and smiled at him, saying, "Mr. Ivan, I hope that your next sentence would not be that you fancy me, or you want to pursue me."
"What if I say so?" Ivan laughed even more arrogantly.
Asteria smiled and said, "After all, it's your freedom."
However, after taking a sip of the wine in his glass, he said casually, "I'm sure since you have been looking at Leo's face all this time, no other man will be able to catch your eye."
Astonished, Asteria looked at Ivan with confusion. "Who's Leo? I don't understand what you're talking about."
Ivan shook the glass, raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile, "Mrs. Kyle, Mr. Kyle has been looking for you for the past three years. Are you going to keep hiding from him?"
"Mrs. Kyle, Mr. Kyle?" Asteria was even more confused. She didn't know if Ivan had a problem with his mind and tried to tell her some nonsense.
"Well, I don't care if you really don't remember, or act like you don't, I would not tell Leo that I've met you. He is upset at losing you, but I enjoy the moment that I know something he doesn't know. I don't want to get myself into trouble."
As he spoke, Ivan paid attention to the expression on Asteria's face. She was so calm that it didn't seem like she was pretending. Was she really just someone who looked a lot like that person?
Asteria didn't answer, because she didn't know what to say.
"I have a series of pending work, and I will shoot some photos for a magazine in a few days. I am wondering if you would be keen to model?"
"I'm sorry. I'm only interested in fashion design, and I'm not interested in being a model." Asteria rejected the offer without thinking.
In addition to her disinterest, because of her health, her father would not allow her to work on other things.
Ivan did not pursue any further. He gave her his business card and asked her to call him whenever she needed help.
Although Asteria felt that she would not have any connections with Mr. Ivan, she still put the business card in her cardholder respectfully.
After dinner, Asteria returned home. Her father was watching TV in the living room. When he saw her coming in, he smiled and said, "Hey, my little girl. I'm really happy for you."
Asteria changed her shoes and went to her father's side. She gave him a big hug. "Dad, it's all your credit that I can get this award. If it weren't for you, there wouldn't be me in this world. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be here."
"Hey, don't talk nonsense. I am your dad. If I don't treat you well, then who shall I take care of?" Samuel Daly smiled and stroked the head of Asteria, but his eyes were fixed on the TV screen.
It was an exclusive interview on a finance show. The person who was interviewed was a member of Rovio Corporation Inc - Leo Kyle, who was never willing to show his face on TV three years ago.
In the past three years, in order to find his missing wife, he had put in a lot of effort and spent countless manpower and financial resources.
He, who had never shown his face in front of the media before, often appeared in front of the camera after the incident. Perhaps he wanted to tell Karen Daly that no matter where she was, he was by her side.
At the thought of this, a cold but proud smile flashed across Samuel Daly's eyes. They wanted to hide from him, and Kevin Kyle couldn't find them even if he had the ability to do so.
What's worse for Kevin Kyle would be the fact that Karen Daly, whom he had been searching for, had completely forgotten about him. Even if she saw him in front of the TV at this time, she would not have any reaction.
It was said that the medicine they gave Karen Daly would cause dysfunction to her memory abilities, and if she did not restore her memories within three years, so she would never regain her memories in the future too.
He changed her name and hid in such a place with Karen Daly for three years. He observed her for three years, and it seemed to be going well.
In this way, it was impossible for Karen Daly to recover her memories, so it was time for him to execute the long-prepared plan.
Samuel Daly said, "I have something else to tell you."
Asteria nodded. "Dad, tell me, I'm listening."
Samuel Daly said, "Are you willing to go back to our hometown with me?"
Asteria asked, "Do you mean Chatterton Town?"
Her father once told her that there were many bad memories in Chatterton Town and he didn't want to go back for the rest of his life. What made him change his mind?
"I'm old, I want to go back and have a look. There is a big company that is recruiting for a fashion designer over there. I think you can try that out." Samuel Daly said as he poured a glass of water for Asteria and handed the medicine to her. "Take the medicine first. Let's talk about other things later."
"Alright." Asteria picked up the medicine and swallowed it. She never doubted the medications.
