Athena and Kizy were both wearing the same dress, which was the latest outfit from Purple.
In reality, Mary had given this outfit to Kizy for today's press meet. But who would have known that Athena would come to know about this, and arrive at the press meet just a few minutes before Kizy while wearing the same outfit.
"Kizy do you want to change your dress? I can make arrangements right now." Markus asked, not wanting his wife to be copied by Athena.
"No Markus, not at all. I am going to wear this dress given to me by mother. After all I need to show that I haven't copied someone but it is the other way round. Two can play the game together!" Kizy said while smirking, her tone showing how much she was enjoying this situation.
"Let's go." Markus said before hooking his arm with Kizy's, walking gracefully towards the stage.
Markus simply gave a nod to Athena before pulling out a chair and making Kizy sit before he sat beside her.
Athena immediately took the seat next to Markus.
Now that both the females were sitting together, people could see the stark contrast between both of them.
Athena, who was always known for her strong and bold character was wearing a white dress which was diminishing her aura.
Whereas on the other hand, Kizy looked cold and proud, wearing silver snowflakes all over, being the ice queen she had always been.
"Now that I take a closer look, Miss Kizy suits the dress more than Miss Athena."
"Kizy knows what she is wearing and changes her temperament accordingly. But Miss Athena is lacking here."
"Kizy definitely did this on purpose to outshine my goddess Athena. She is evil."
"I vote for Kizy's look."
All the reporters instantly started discussing the dress. Even Athena could hear some of them, and suddenly her anger was at its peak.
She had taken so much trouble to find out Kizy's dress and took even more time to copy Kizy's look. Yet all of them were still complimenting Kizy instead of insulting her for copying.
"Ladies and gentlemen, today I feel happy to announce another partnership by our company with Glitter.
All of you already know about both the companies so I won't take much of your time over the introduction.
I would now ask Mr. Markus to fill us on the details about the partnership, which would be followed by a short interview wherein we will be answering five questions." The MC announced which was followed by a round of applause and the mic was passed to Markus.
Markus first talked about Glitter, before explaining the partnership and ultimately what the audience or common public would be getting out of it.
He made the entire purpose clear within ten minutes, covering all the necessary details, making it easier for the reporters to make the articles.
After that he passed the mic to Athena, who almost spoke the same thing as Markus, but the reporters didn't complain.
"Now, only five reporters will be given the chance to ask questions. The reporters can raise their hand and we will randomly choose any one amongst you to ask the questions." The MC explained before letting the reporters raise their hands.
Soon almost all the hands were seen raising, all the reporters wanting to ask questions.
The first two questions were answered skillfully which were related to the business partnership.
Third question was about the scandal where Markus was labelled as a playboy while his company suffered a huge blow. Similarly he asked about Kizy's health, who was rumoured to be gravely injured due to some accident.
"Thanks to you all for supporting me and the company in bad times. We were able to clear our names and stand strong again.
As for Kizy, yes she has suffered a lot. Especially because I was insufficient. But I'll try to grow stronger and be someone who would never let Kizy's smile disappear." Markus said before turning to look towards Kizy, who had a contented smile on her face.
But the fourth question was….
"Miss Kizy and Miss Athena are wearing the same outfit from 'Purple'. Was that a pure coincidence or something else. Because this is not even the masterpiece of the season. Plus Miss Athena is usually not the one to wear such bright shades. So I was curious to know the story." The reporter asked, though polite but hinting that it was most probably Athena who was third wheeling between Markus and Kizy.
Athena immediately gave a happy smile before speaking.
"I know this isn't my usual style, so it may seem that I have copied Miss Kizy. But no I didn't.
This partnership will be a huge milestone for 'Glitter' and thus I wanted to look different on this important event.
In fact I had already purchased this dress three days ago. I had even posted a photo of mine while I was there at 'Purple'.
Which means almost anyone following my account would have guessed that I would be wearing a 'Purple' dress." Athena said while turning towards Kizy, giving a weird smile, as if she was signalling that it was Kizy who had copied her and not the other way round.
But Kizy was all smiles, knowing Athena had instead of clearing her own name, pushed herself into a corner of no return.
She picked up the mic before speaking.
"Good morning everyone. Hope you all are doing well. It feels good to be back to working after a long time.
And about the dress, I guess this would definitely be a pure coincidence." Kizy paused, making the reporters firmly believe that it was she who had copied Athena.
"Because Miss Athena doesn't look like someone who would use cheap stunts like copying another female attending the same event." Kizy spoke again, making all the reporters gasp at her bold statement.
