The next day, Alfonso and the others arrived at the place where the final preparation for the runway show is. Every people that they pass by on, were staring at them as if they have seen something out of the ordinary.
To be more exact, they are staring at Alfonso who is currently carrying a baby in his arms.
"Why are they staring at our direction like that? It's making me feel uncomfortable, Uncle." Kyle who dislikes being stared is complaining at Alfonso. He knows that those people are exactly staring at him, but since he is right next to the person they are staring at it is still making him uncomfortable.
"It's because I have a kid in my arms. And as you know, I'm a whole different person when I am at work." Alfonso replied. Alfonso is known for being strict and cold. Whenever he saw a worker doing one small thing that is out of place, he gives them a lecture and tells them how to do it properly.
He is even called as an arrogant person, but Alfonso does not care what they think. When it comes to this kind of industry he is the person they think he is.
"Is it that surprising?" Anna is surprised that this is the kind of impression other people have on her uncle Alfonso. She knew that he was strict and all, but she never thought that it would be like this.
It is such a good thing that she has no motivation in wanting to be in the same field as Alfonso, or else she will be stressed out by every criticism she will receive from him.
Before Alfonso could even reply to Anna's question, one of the staff members approached them. "S-Sir Dreyar, my team leader is asking for you. He wants to ask a few questions for the show."
Alfonso stared at the trembling girl. This kind of sight is quite normal for him, and he rather has it like this. He does not want anyone to get near him and tries to sweet-talk to him. It makes him feel disgusted if they do that.
Without a word, Alfonso hands over Alexandre to Anna, then he left off to see that girl's team leader. After he left, Anna and Kyle heard gossips from the people around them.
"Do you that is Alfonso Dreyar's son?"
"I think so! I mean, look at the baby's facial features, he looks like a mini version of Sir Dreyar."
"I thought that he is not straight. Do you think that all this time he is only acting and is actually straight?"
"I don't know, but one thing is for sure, that child will have a hard time growing up."
"Alfonso Dreyar is such a disappointment in this industry."
While listening to all the nonsense that the people around her are talking about, Anna's face is expressionless. No one might not be able to detect what she is feeling right now, but Kyle does, and he also feels the same.
He and Anna does not like it when the people that they care about are being bad-mouthed just like those people are doing.
"Disappointment? You people sure like to talk like you guys achieved something great." Anna spoke in a cold tone of voice. Those who heard Anna stared at her, and they Anna a glare for she just said. "What? You people are glaring at me as if I said something wrong."
These people who are currently glaring at her are the staff workers of the event and some are unknown models. Compare to her uncle Alfonso, they are nothing. Her uncle Alfonso has a title that they don't have, 'The King of the Fashion Industry' and she is sure that none of these people can even have the chance to achieve that kind of title.
"Excuse me? Who are you to talk to us like that?" One of the staff asked Anna. Since they are out of the country, these staff members have little information about the Coleman family, in other words, they don't recognize that Coleman family's heir and heiress.
"My identity have nothing to do with any of you, and that also means that whatever is in Alfonso Dreyar's life has nothing with you people." For them to look down on her uncle Alfonso really upsets her, especially when Alexandre is around when these people are saying such insulting words to its father.
One model approached Anna, then she looks down at her. Anna's beauty is breathtaking and she can't compare herself to Anna because in just one glance she already lost, but she would not dare to admit that.
In her opinion, Anna has the face, but Anna's background? She is sure that Anna is nothing compare to her. She wins on that round.
"You talk like you know everything about the king himself. Perhaps, you are one of his girls, if you know what I'm talking about." Since the baby is looking a lot like Alfonso, the talk about Alfonso being gay is not the truth, this model has a quite the imagination, she thought that Anna is one of Alfonso's secret girls.
Kyle initially wanted to let Anna handle this kind of troublesome people, but when he heard that from this particular model, he thinks that he should not let Anna do it all by herself. "How dare you say that." He said coldly and that startled the woman.
The model glance at Kyle, then she was surprised at how attractive Kyle is. She knew he was there, but she did not bother to properly look at him because he has such a low presence and she did not want to bother herself to pay any attention to those who are nothing.
However, after properly seeing Kyle's face, she thinks that it does not matter anymore if Kyle has a background or not. All she cares about is his face. With Kyle's face, she can brag it to her brags it to her friends.
"Hey, hand-"
The moment Kyle heard her voice, Kyle immediately cut her off. "Don't you dare a word to me. It makes me feel disgusted to hear your disgusting voice. The only thing that can you is be honored that I'm actually taking the liberty to say a word to you."
Women like her are easy to read, and since Kyle is used to these kinds of women, he knew exactly what kind of disgusting thought she has about her.
The model was speechless. This is the first time that someone actually said that she's disgusting. Her blood boiled in anger, she wanted to say something back, but Kyle's intense glare at her made her bite back her words.
Kyle looks at her up and down, and from the looks of it she came from a wealthy family, but compared to his and Anna's, her background is not a threat to them. "So what if you came from a wealthy family? Does that make you noble? I don't think so. People like you who judge a person just because of what you saw, that does not make you noble or anything related to that. That makes you an utterly disgusting person just like the people behind you."
Anna, on the other hand, is also speechless at Kyle's words. She knows that he is angry, but his words are just too much. But then again, she is irritated at the fact this person in front of her actually stared at her man with such thoughts. For this once, Anna would not mind if Kyle will continue to diss her all day long.
"Lady, you don't scare us," Anna said with a smirk. This woman is not being careful, and because of that, Anna pities her for being stupid.
"I'm only gone for a couple of minutes, but this is the kind of trouble that the two of you getting yourself into?" Alfonso's voice was heard, and everyone around was startled by it except for Anna and Kyle.
"Uncle, you blame us for something we didn't do. That is so not nice of you." Anna pouted, but she knew that Alfonso already knows what is going on, so there is no need for her to do anything else.
When the people around them heard that Anna just called Alfonso; 'uncle,' they were in shock. They have the guts to say words behind Alfonso's back, but when he is actually present they are scared out of their wits.
With just Alfonso's influence, he can destroy someone's reputation without using any extreme actions. And with that fact alone, everyone is now afraid that Anna will reveal everything that they just said.
'The King of the Fashion Industry actually has a niece? How come no one knows about this? And who is this guy next to this girl?' The model inwardly asked. She has a ton of questions in her mind, but her fear of losing her current good reputation is rising up in every passing second.
