Chapter 209: A good Liar

Avery shifts uneasily in her seat. She wants to focus on the show, but she can't help wondering about Veronica. She scans the faces in the crowd, but she doesn't see Veronica anywhere.

Cannons fire thick smoke into the audience, creating an eerie atmosphere and hiding the crowd. Lights flicker and the models strut across the catwalk. As they walk, their jewelry catches the light. The audience gasps, and cameras flash. By the end of the show, the crowd is buzzing with excitement.

Sophie Johnson steps onto the stage, and thanks to everyone for their support. She explains the concept behind her show and talks at great length about the importance of storytelling. When she tells Avery's story about the vampire, the crowd goes wild. She waves her hand to silence them and smiles at Avery.
