Bumpkins Rich Handsome Husband

Chapter 259 Hendrey, Who Fell From the Sky

The host did not pay much attention to Veronica’s knees, but Ivana came over at first instance and inquired, “Are you alright?”

Veronica shook her head and answered, “It’s nothing serious.”

“Hello, Ivana. Model No. 82 is wearing your company’s final jewelry series. It is indeed gorgeous and extraordinary. Could you elaborate on your design inspiration and ideas for us?” asked the host.

Ivana nodded, took over the microphone, and answered, “The inspiration behind this design came from Miss Veronica Murphy. We were having tea one day and she shared the story of her first love with me. The love she described resembled the warmth of the sun on a winter day. The warm love she experienced instantly inspired me to design the First Love series. That is also why I decided that Miss Murphy should be my model this time.”

The fictitious background story was crafted to mask Veronica’s inability to do a proper catwalk, but who would have thought that Veronica was actually a gifted model?!

Even when Ivana saw how great Veronica’s stage performance was, she insisted on using the fictional background story.

“Oh, really? That’s very creative, Ivana.” The host smiled before turning to Veronica and asked, “I believe that besides me, everyone here is very curious to hear what kind of unforgettable first love it was to be such a great inspiration for Ivana. Would you mind sharing it with us, Miss Murphy?”

Then, he handed over the microphone to her.

She took the microphone, nodded slightly, and kept a polite smile while pondering what to say.

Ivana scooched beside her and whispered in her ear, “Don’t be nervous. Just be casual and tell them the story of your first love.”

Veronica grasped the microphone and her thoughts wandered back to a few years ago. “It was a freezing winter back then. I rode a bicycle to school and fell hard on the side of the road that had frozen a little. At that time…”

She looked down at her knee as she spoke and gave a mock smile. “Yeap. I have the same injury on my knee right now. It was purple and swollen, and I couldn’t walk at all.”

As soon as the photographer’s lens switched to aim at Veronica’s knee, he zoomed in for a close-up.

Her knee was seriously injured at this point and it had turned swollen and purple. Blood vessels could even be seen underneath the injury.

“At that time, he happened to be passing by. He noticed that I couldn’t get up due to the pain, so he came up to me enthusiastically and carried me to the infirmary. That was the beginning of my first love.”
