CHAPTER 4: THOSE EYES SEEMS FAMILIAR

COLTON

I am not fond of going to a fashion show in NY or even to any other fashion show, not really my cup of coffee thing. I was force to attend because of my cousin Clare as her escort. She was close to me and I cannot really say no this time.

It was her one of the biggest shows to launch her latest design for this season. Her escort was not in the country so she dragged me in. Of course, her husband, Chavin, supposed to be here. Instead, he had to attend for important negotiation for business related.

To think it is not necessarily to have an escort or date to this event but I know she just needed us some support. I saw my brother Carson in the venue he waved at me as soon as he saw me walking inside.

Clare got us the best seats. I sat down with my brother on the side when Clare came to us. "Good to see you CEO Colton." She teased, I sighed. She really is like this since we were kids.

"Oh, shut up." I replied, she laughed. "You really got a lot of celebrities in here." I said I saw big stars here and there and some from other countries.

"Yeah, you can say that because you never really attend most of my shows. They always here you know." She rolled her eyes on me. Well, that is so true I never go to her show that's why. I do not have time before; I travelled a lot.

"Sorry, I am not really like this kind of thing to attend and you know that." I admitted. She knew that I do not enjoy her stuff unlike my brother Carson. He's always updated and present in every events.

"Yeah, I know because of her. You became a different human being in my eyes now." She said shook her head. I did not comment her statement because I do not want to hear it anymore.

"Hey, Carson, how was the thing going on in the port?" I asked my brother Carson. He was the one in-charge in the port area. My brother may always be party here and there. But when it comes to his duty, he knows how to handle it good.

"Just a small problem but I already fixed it so do not worry too much." He assured and I nodded. I trust my brother's abilities he was assigned. We would not come to this level if we could not handle it ever since our clans started this business. We have our own protections dealing if it comes to worst.

The lights started turning off, it was not totally blackout but there were some areas were dim light. It was the sign that the show will start in a few minutes. Everyone has already taken his or her own seats.

In a moment later, lights turned on focusing on the stage one who will walk first. The music began to play and models start the catwalk one by one wearing with the clothes designed by my cousin Clare.

It was not bad at all seeing this kind of events up close and personal. Her designs were all beautiful, my cousin is really doing an excellent career.

Models were in different races with different beauties. They carried it beautifully.

"Huh!" I said, caught my eyes the face of the model wearing gold fitted dress that suits her body. I do not usually look at their faces but this one it was different. My heart became weird that was unusual to me. I tried to ignore my heart and focus on that model.

'Her eyes seem familiar.' I said in my mind.

Our eyes met as she walked closer to my direction. I was seated in front of the stage easily to be seen.

'Have we met before?' My mind still confused. She passed by me and walked back where she came from.

I cannot concentrate with other designs anymore; however, I waited for that model to come out again. Until it was the finale, she was the last one who walked the catwalk until I saw her with my cousin Clare, handed her the bouquet of flowers.

"Thank you all for coming and enjoying my show. Thank you all for my hardworking models and staffs who were there with me since day one. Congratulations to us." My cousin Clare gave her speech before bowing the audience.

Applauding sounds heard the entire venue.

I watched that model carefully she really carried herself professionally. I like the way she stands in front to all.

But it was kind of weird to me because they all did the same. She was just stunning in my eyes. All the time I was only staring at her. I wanted to meet her personally.

I am never like this especially to a model. I have history just like Clare said earlier because of her. My ex.

I disregard to even hook up women when she is a model. I was too hurt that time with her. We were each other's first since we grew up together.

Our lives were happy as it flows. She loves modelling and I supported her all the way. I was never against it because it was her dream ever since.

I know we both busy with our careers. I just started my firm and she was busy with her stuff. She always out of the country most of the time.

However, it changed when she told me something that destroy myself from it. She told me she was pregnant with other man she was in love with.

It was a bombshell to me. I asked her to marry me when she came back in the country. She refused me because she wants to achieve her dream first before finally settle down. I was being understanding with her career.

Every time we met, we only do was dinner then back to work the next day. Just a month passed, an email sent to me. A break up and apologizing letter.

It was so painful to know that memories you shared together was just a waste. That was start that I do not like to involve models.

But now, why I wanted to meet her?
