The days were passing by and the date of launch of the cosmetics was very close. Almost everything was set from the first stock of products to the models ramp walk practice, media publicity to international business community's attention, everything was going as planned by Aiden and he was happy with the flow of things going. At the other side, Henry was trying his best to provide maximum media coverage and public's attention to it so that the products would get as much attention as possible.

And there stood Helena by his side every time with him, looking after his rest to food to his work as well. Even though she was responsible for managing the legal section, she did her best to help the project with helping Diana set everything or Aiden with presentations. This project had not only made a progress to the company but also in Aiden's and Helena's relationship. With every struggle they did, their bond and understanding grew even better.

Today was the day for press and media briefing where the media would cover about the project. The media publicity has been going on since a long time but this was that one important one as it would be live telecasted to millions of people. This was the final show, after a week was the day of launch so everything needed to be fine for today. And that was why Aiden was making sure of everything, without even having anything since morning.

The time was moving in speed of light and soon the hall was full with media people sitting on the seats with the board of directors and other VIPs on the front row. Diana and Aiden were sitting on the centre most seats while the host started the program. After a formal speech being given, the host announced a ramp walk featuring all the models who were ready using the brand new cosmetics that is to be launched.

The walk started with renowned models at the front row while new models at the background. One of those were Melissa who was standing at the last row. She was looking explicitly beautiful in a simple yet pretty gown. What made her look beautiful was the glow of happiness earned from her hardwork and efforts through which she could reach till here. Smile never left her face which didn't go unnoticed by Helena who was sitting on the second row with her colleagues. She didn't know if she should be thinking like that, but for the first time in so many years she saw a genuine smile on her face which had glimpse of positivity on it.

Melissa didn't have to do much, but she was happy that she at least got this chance. As she was observing around, her eyes fell upon those black pairs of orbs which had been creating hurricane in her heart since a quite long time. It was just a glance but that was enough to make her heart race keeping her eyes glued on him, Aiden. While Melissa kept on staring at him without even blinking for once with her heart beaming in happiness that he at least looked at her, here at the other side Aiden hadn't even noticed her. He was just looking around and that was mistaken by Melissa.

The walk ended and everyone cheered up for it, the media kept on clicking photos not missing a single chance to make it highlight for the other day. The host invited Aiden and Henry on the stage as they were the ones who were launching the products in partnership for interacting with media while the models were still there on their position. Aiden and Henry walked towards the host on the stage.

Melissa's breath got hitched, as she could see Aiden so close to her. Well though his back was facing her, she could still smell his masculine lemony cologne which was creating butterflies in her belly. She was in front of media and her every action would be noticed with hundreds of cameras and thousands of eyes focusing on the stage so she hung her head low to avoid any embarrassment. But she didn't fail to take glance at him time and again who was standing just few meters ahead from him.

The media started asking questions to both of them to which they gave all the answers to their queries confidently with the vibes of perfection in their words. And at the end, both of them had to give a speech. Henry started speaking first which basically highlighted his hard work, the way he has worked hard for this project and his expectations while Aiden spoke about the collective efforts of everyone and thanked everyone for their contribution.

Just as Aiden completed his speech and was about to hand over the mic to the host,

"AHHHHHH! AHHHHH!" The showstopper and the most famous model of the country started screaming on top of her lungs.
