Alex's POV

Looking at myself in the mirror, I was stunned at how gorgeous this dress was. The sparkly red fabric was just gorgeous and the ruffles at the top were so unique. I can't believe I was about to walk onto a runway and model this one of a kind dress for the Charity event infront of all those people-

In Front of Ace.

"Feeling nervous? I know that feeling, I used to get scared back when I was an amateur like you. Scared that you might trip and fall, humiliate yourself in front of all those people... But I can understand how much more scary this must be for you. Making sure you don't ruin this gorgeous dress-" Veronica  says behind me

I turn to face her

"I'm surprised that you're still in the modeling business, considering... your face" I say pointing with a disgusted face

She wants to play this game? Fine, but she ain't gonna win...

"ExCusE MeE?" she gasps and I walk away

"Positon's everyone!" one of the stage directors yell telling us to exit the dressing room and go out to the lobby where the gala was happening

I walk out of the dressing room and to my surprise, I see Ace in front of me

"A-alex.." he stops speaking and just looks at me in awe

I blush and look away, why was he affecting me like ThhIsSSs

He walks up closer to me and grabs my chin, turning my face to him

"You somehow managed to look even more beautiful" he says looking me in the eyes

I fall into his deep blue eyes and get lost until I snap myself back into my thoughts

"I-I, the dress is magnificent" I nervously laugh

"It's not the dress" he whispers still holding my face

"I really hope I see you tonight for dinner" he says with a pleading expression

"We will see Mr. Anderson..." I say with a smirk

I start to walk away to get into position for the fashion show

"You're going to do great" he says

I turn to face him before I leave

"Can you promise me one thing" I say feeling my cheeks start to heat up again

"Anything for you" Ace says

"Don't watch the fashion show" I say

"Why not?" he questions confused

"....I'll... get nervous if I see you in the crowd and then I'll lose focus and I'll fall and humiliate myself and-" I quickly try to say but he cuts me off with a small chuckle
