The crowd went wild as cameras started capturing Hilde leaving the stage as the first batch of models strutted down the runaway in their outfits. People all around Elise stood up to give a standing ovation despite the fashion show just beginning.
Elise was about to do the same and join with the others, smiling and clapping her hands together until she saw a person right across the crowd whose gaze was completely on her.
Alexei was looking straight at her as he clapped. His face was expressionless, but as soon as their eyes met, a faint smile curved up on his lips.
Panic started within Elise's chest and she hoped that Alexei didn't pay much attention to Loriel beside her. If the man ever stepped towards them then Elise didn't know what she'd do.
Elise chewed on her lip. Oh my god… what should she do?
Maybe it was a good idea to confront the man?
