Chapter 2726: 2700: Autograph
Once all the fashion designs had been showcased, the designer traditionally stepped out to receive the applause from the entire audience, but this time it was different. Karl Lagerfeld came out holding Eileen’s hand, and both of them accepted the audience’s applause together.
Overall, it was an extremely successful fashion show. There’s no doubt that tomorrow’s headlines in the fashion world will be about Karl Lagerfeld and Eileen.
At this moment, Eileen was radiant. Her transformation from a mercenary to a model was quick and successful.
Gao Yang stood up to applaud Eileen. Eileen glanced toward the spot where Satan and his group were, and then she rushed down to tightly embrace her mother.
Gao Yang slightly nodded and approached Bob next to him. As he clapped, he whispered to Bob, “It’s over, the audience needs to leave, prepare to begin the action.”
Bob whispered back, “Okay, I’ll go say hi to Katy Perry. Stay close.”
Just then, Gao Yang saw Eileen looking at him after hugging her mother.
His heart sank, and he whispered urgently, “Hurry!”
Letting Bob follow the plan, Gao Yang quickly whispered to Yelena beside him, “You and Catherine leave first, I need to help Bob settle things with his girlfriend. We’ll meet at home.”
Before Gao Yang could finish, Eileen, wearing the red dress from her finale walk, rushed over and hugged him, shouting, “Thank you! Thank you! I’m so happy today! I’m so delighted today…”
Yelena smiled beside him and said, “Congratulations, Eileen. You looked stunning today.”
With camera flashes around, Eileen released Gao Yang and naturally said to Yelena, “Thank you!”
The scene was slightly chaotic. Eileen’s mother clapped with tears, and Eileen hugged Satan’s group like a queen. Gao Yang quietly whispered, “Hey, hey, be mindful. You’re a model now, don’t get too arrogant.”
After speaking, Gao Yang noticed Li Jinfang still standing there, so he gestured to Li Jinfang, who then nodded and headed toward Katy Perry.
Gao Yang made a gesture, and Satan’s group slowly began to gather around him. Gao Yang discreetly waved his hand and started heading towards the exit.
Let Eileen continue to celebrate, Gao Yang now had more crucial tasks to attend to.
Outside the venue’s door, Gao Yang met Joseph.
Joseph was a bit agitated. He approached Gao Yang and whispered, “It’s failed. Jody is a professional bodyguard, very skilled. I’ve always said a bodyguard wouldn’t agree to a duel.”
Gao Yang urgently whispered back, “Bob said Jody is competitive. She’s great at fighting and can’t tolerate people looking down on women. If she was provoked, she’d definitely be eager to engage!”
Joseph whispered, “But she’s protecting her employer now! A bodyguard would never abandon her charge. I’ve said before, today isn’t the right opportunity.”
Gao Yang wiped his face, exhaled, and whispered, “It must be resolved today. Katy Perry will attend Karl Lagerfeld’s fashion show. Tomorrow, she could be anywhere. It’s our only chance.”
“Then what can we do? I provoked Jody, she’s angry, but she’ll never strike. I think she’s about to escort Katy out. We have no time left.”
Gao Yang glanced back and whispered, “If Jody isn’t going to act, instigating won’t work.”
“Exactly, she won’t respond.”
Gao Yang looked at Li Jinfang and quickly gestured several times to him.
Li Jinfang felt helpless, quickly taking off his suit.
Under the suit, Li Jinfang was wearing not a long-sleeve shirt but a short-sleeve shirt.
He removed his tie, and after throwing his suit to someone nearby, he quickly unbuttoned the top two buttons of his shirt and tousled his neatly groomed hair into a mess.
Rafael took Li Jinfang’s clothes and jogged away, while Frey handed Li Jinfang a pair of sunglasses.
A few people quickly dispersed, then removed their suits, changed into shirts or T-shirts, while Albert even prepared a wig and shoes, quickly dressing as a regular person.
Yelena and Catherine came out together, Gao Yang signaled Yelena to hurry up and leave, but she didn’t go. Instead, she came directly to Gao Yang’s side and whispered, “Can I help you, please? You all look like men, let me help, I beg you.”
Catherine nodded toward Gao Yang, but she still had a confused expression.
Looking into Yelena’s pleading eyes, Gao Yang softened and whispered, “Alright, pretend to be Katy’s fan. Make sure it looks convincing. She’s coming out!”
As a big star, Katy Perry wouldn’t be without bodyguards. It’s not about show but necessity for a superstar singer.
Jody entered through a special passage and was now standing by Katy Perry’s side. But Katy Perry also had three burly male bodyguards nearby, whether arranged by the fashion show or her own.
Bob was still following Katy Perry but couldn’t stay close on her side, only behind.
Seeing Gao Yang, Bob made a distressed face and signaled at Gao Yang.
Gao Yang looked at Yelena. She was talking urgently with Catherine and Adele.
Gao Yang sighed. Plan A was to provoke Jody to fight Li Jinfang, which was completely thwarted. Plan B was for Bob to invite Katy Perry and Jody to dinner. Given Bob’s status and his pursuit of Jody, this request isn’t excessive. If Katy Perry agreed, Jody would naturally attend, offering another chance. But this plan also failed.
Only the riskiest Plan C was left to use.
Gao Yang heavily coughed twice, then suddenly waved his hand.
Satan’s people began discreetly surrounding Katy Perry. They appeared perfectly normal, yet the crowd was edging closer to Katy Perry.
At this moment, Adele suddenly jumped out and shouted to Katy Perry, “Katy Perry! Please sign for me!”
Adele held a little notebook and a pen. She had actually brought them along, but her acting was overly theatrical.
Gao Yang helplessly covered his eyes with his hand, but when he removed it, he saw Katy Perry was surprisingly signing for Adele.
Then Albert appeared with a big bald head, holding a giant marker, and suddenly shouted, “Katy, Katy, sign my head, please!”
