The next morning, ire walked into her office with a spring in her step. The Metacortex office was already buzzing with activity, but ire had her own agenda for the day. She headed straight for her desk and flipped open herptop, eager to check the news about the fashion


    show.


    The screen lit up with headlines and articles, all raving about the sess of the redo fashion show. ire''s smile grew wider as she scanned the headlines, noting how Armetta was being celebrated as the first fashion designer to pull off such a feat. The words "Groundbreaking" and "Innovative" were sshed across the articles, and ire couldn''t help but feel a rush of pride. It was a win for everyone involved, and it looked like the fashion world was genuinely impressed.


    ire leaned back in her chair, savoring the moment. She clicked through several articles, each one praising the event''s sess and Armetta''s brilliant designs. "Looks like the show was a hit," she muttered to herself, grinning from ear to ear.


    Just then, a notification pinged on herputer, drawing her attention to social media. Curious, ire clicked on the video that had gone viral. The video showed clips from the fashion show, with her own surprise appearance strutting down the runway. ire watched as the views ticked up by the millions and the likes andments flooded in. Her eyes widened with amusement.


    Thements were overwhelmingly positive. People were astonished to see the CEO of Metacortex modeling, and they couldn''t get enough of it. "Wow, who knew ire had such moves?" onement read. "CEO by day, model by night!" another one joked. ire couldn''t help but chuckle at the unexpected attention.


    As she scrolled through thements, she noticed her name trending on the list. "Well, this is new," ire said, shaking her head with a smirk. She continued to scroll, her smile not fading. However, her good mood was slightly dampened when she saw severalments linking her name with Adrian''s. Some rumors even suggested they were dating.


    ire rolled her eyes and quickly skipped past those posts. "Seriously? People will believe anything," she muttered under her breath. The rumors werepletely untrue, and ire had no interest in dealing with that kind of spection.


    Her focus returned to the articles about the fashion show. She clicked on a few, thoroughly enjoying the detailed reviews and the enthusiastic praise for the event. It was clear that the redo fashion show was not just a sess but a milestone in the fashion industry. ire felt a sense of aplishment knowing that her involvement had made a difference.


    As the day progressed, ire found herself repeatedly checking her social media to see if the buzz had died down. To her amusement, the positivements continued to roll in, and her poprity seemed to be soaring. Every so often, she would show Sandra a particrly funny or tteringment, and they would share augh.


    By the time the afternoon rolled around, ire was in high gear, juggling meetings and paperwork and at the same checking on the robot. Despite the busy schedule, she couldn''t help but feel a sense of aplishment. The fashion show had been a tremendous sess, and seeing her name in the headlines and trending online was a nice bonus.


    "This is probably the best second thing on the news about me besides partnering up with Harrispany." She said as she took a sip of her tea.


    Towards the end of the day, Matthew strolled into ire''s office, looking rxed as usual. "How''s the post-fashion show buzz treating you?" he asked with a grin.


    ire looked up from herputer with a smile. "Oh, it''s been a whirlwind. Everyone''s still talking about it, and the feedback has been fantastic. Even if some of it is a bit over the top."


    Matthew chuckled, leaning against the doorframe. "Well, you did steal the show. Who knew the CEO of Metacortex had such a hidden talent?"


    ire rolled her eyes yfully. "Yeah, yeah. Just don''t get any ideas about me bing a full-time model. I''ve got enough on my te."


    Matthewughed. "Don''t worry. I''ll stick to managing the chaos, and you can keep dazzling us with your unexpected talents."


    Matthew leaned back in his chair, a yful grin on his face as he looked at ire. "Alright, spill the beans. How did you manage to pull off this whole fashion show idea? I mean, with everything that''s happened, it seems like a bit of a miracle."


    ire set herptop aside and leaned back in her chair, crossing her arms. "Well, when the fire happened, I was scrambling to figure out what to do for Talia. I wanted to do something special for her, but I wasn''t sure what."


    Matthew nodded, his interest piqued. "And then?"


    ire continued, "Then Adrian


    suggested that we redo the fashion show. He pointed out that most people only remembered the fire, not the actual collection. It was a great idea, so we went with it. Adrian and I took care of the guest list, the ces, the budget-all of that. Talia just had to handle the clothes."


    "I''m amazed," said Matthew with a smile on his face.


    ire raised her brows and stared at Matthew. "So what''s the deal with you noting to the show? I mean I could tell you''re not really into fashion shows. You probably wouldn''t know a runway from a roadblock. But at least you should be there for your boss."


    Matthew chuckled, raising his hands in mock surrender. "Guilty as charged. Fashion shows aren''t exactly my scene. But I don''t think you need me much, Adrian was there." ire rolled her eyes then her smirk faded as she turned serious.


    "Speaking of scenes, any updates on my poisoning incident?"


    Matthew''s expression grew serious, too. "Not much. It hasn''t been easy. No solid leads yet. I''ve been working on it, but it''s like trying to find a needle in a haystack." ire sighed, running a hand through her hair. "This is so frustrating. What about the fire? Any progress on that?"Owned by N?velDrama.Org.


    Matthew shook his head. "Still


    nook


    investigating. The fire''s a bit of a puzzle. We''re digging into it, but it''s slow going. However, I don''t think we can look into the poisoning


    incident since there is no lead on that."


    A sigh escaped her lips. "Okay, just keep an eye on the fire. I''m still curious about that one." ire took a deep breath, her frustration evident. "Well, thanks for all your help, Matthew. I know it''s not easy." Matthew gave her a reassuring smile. "Hey, that''s what I''m here for. We''ll figure it out."


    Just then, ire''s phone buzzed on the desk. She picked it up, ncing at the screen. A message from Anna popped up:


    Anna: "Congrats on your modeling debut! You rocked it!"


    ire chuckled, her mood brightening a bit. She quickly typed a reply:


    ire: "Thanks, Anna! Your support means a lot. Wish you cane to the fashion show."


    As she pressed send, another notification appeared. This one made her eyebrows rise in surprise. It read,


    "Miss me? xoxo."
