"How is this even possible?"
Lin Xinyi said as she checked the invite of the super event in her hand. She couldn't believe it had the name of Li Xue on it.
Due to the lawsuit that happened earlier, there were several opportunities that the girl missed that would have led her to the super award. And because of that they lost hope of her getting the Chiboa's Supermodel Award.
But then this…
"Sister Xinyi, I was also surprised. And that's the reason I even check the authenticity of the mailing address. But this is real. The mailing address is right and also, I confirmed with their office. They did send the invitation in the name of Sister Xue. She has gotten nominated for the award."
Xiao Meng blurted it out in one breath. Lin Xinyi didn't say anything. Although the girl did make the effort, it was not needed because one glance at the invitation was enough to tell her that it was all authentic and no one could forge it.
The award was not simple but a brand that was not easy to forge.
"I know, MengMeng. This is real. The seal on the top was enough to tell that. But the question is how. Li Xue clearly didn't have enough yearly points to qualify this year. And that is why I have mapped the plan for her next year. How did she get through it?"
Lin Xinyi spoke as she read the words again and again. "Is it because the organizers came to know about her title?" She murmured to herself. But she knew that thought was more impossible than Li Xue's nomination for the award.
At that moment, Su Fai came to interrupt, "That's not the case." Hearing him say that, Lin Xinyi paused and looked up at him. To which, he added to explain, "The organizers didn't decide on her because of her title but because of the points she earned. Li Xue has qualified the nomination through the points and to be more exact, her points exceed that of any other nominee."
He said and his words did nothing but put Lin Xinyi in incomprehension. "I had calculated it before. Her points were not eligible for it. How can my calculations be wrong?" She asked and the man smiled.
"Because you missed counting the credits of one of her works?"
Lin Xinyi's brows furrowed and she looked at Su Fai, waiting for him to explain it better. Su Fai understood her gaze and didn't plan to drag the suspense. So, he said, "The credits from the Royal project. The points not just made her qualify for the nomination but have also made her the winner of the award this year. I just had a talk with the office and since she is the clear winner this year, they disclosed the information to me. They are really looking forward to her appearance this year."
"The Royal Project! But that comes under the traditional modeling. If I am not wrong, the work in the traditional field has never been included."
Su Fai nodded. "Yes, you are not completely wrong. It had never been included. But from this year, the royals have brought it together. This application was made a few months back and has recently got approved. So, with the new provision passed, Li Xue is nominated."
He said, and Lin Xinyi's expression didn't change for some time which made the man wonder. "What happened? Are you not happy?"
As if she was lost in her own trance, Lin Xinyi was brought back at his call. She stared at him for a small moment and then shook her head, "Nope, why would I not be happy? I am happy for her. It's just I am thinking how things are turning unexpectedly better. It feels like nature and fate are paying us for good after all we suffered. Is this what people say - Be patient, sooner or later the goodness will return to your life?"
O Lin Xinyi, everything was feeling unreal. In her immaturity, she had lost her career and dream. Although it was her own choice, in the past, she had also not suffered any less. Along with heartbreak, there was a sense of loss. Loss of the passion and dream that she held dear to her life. She never planned on getting that back. But unexpectedly, after so many years, she was feeling like her life was turning into a new leaf, marking a new beginning. There was a feeling of satisfaction in her heart that she found unexplainable.
Su Fai understood what she had not even uttered. Feeling happy in her happiness, he walked forward and embraced her in his arms. Lin Xinyi didn't reject it. Instead, her arms also went to get wrapped around him to cherish the good moment she finally got in her life.
The two got lost in their moment when suddenly a hesitant cough interrupted their moment. And Lin Xinyi's eyes shot open, realizing that they weren't alone in the room. In her own moment of satisfaction, she forgot that there was a pair of young eyes watching them.
While her eyes matched Xiao Meng, the young girl gave a sheepish smile of embarrassment. Lin Xinyi's face also turned red. She wanted to move away but no matter how she tried, the man's arms didn't budge.
"What are you doing? Let me go. Xiao Meng is here. It doesn't look nice." Lin Xinyi complained but Su Fai stood there still, keeping his arms around her. He clearly was in no mood to let her go.
"You …" Feeling the same, Lin Xinyi was ready to force him. But before she could say more, Su Fai's voice rang gently in her ears. The words were not for her but Xiao Meng.
"Xiao Meng, the nomination of Li Xue for the award is not just her accomplishment but also of the whole company. Go and tell all, so they can also celebrate the new milestone we have crossed."
He said and understanding the cue, Xiao Meng nodded before leaving the room at once.
