There are several sheets of paper for them fill in comments and points score for the final contestant.
Actually this clipboard is only given to certain people who are directly involved in the fashion industry such as editor in chief or fashion director.
Because of that, Zoe and Mia don't know why every year they have to do this.
The fact is they 'nothing' in fashion industry.
They don't know anything about fashion.
Mia and Zoe looked towards they husband who's diligently taking notes on the clipboard.
While Mia and Zoe just let the clipboard empty without any notes or marks.
"It's not my world's..." sighed Zoe.
Lex heard his wife's complaint took the clipboard from Zoe's hand.
Zoe looked towards Lex with a strange sight.
"You don't have to do it, if you don't like."
"Ava will understand it..." told Lex and grasped Zoe's hand.
"Are you sure that?" Zoe asks for certainty. Lex just replies with a convincing smile.
Zoe smiled towards Mia.
Mia shows her annoying face and made Zoe laugh.
Suddenly, the lights is turn off and music is stopped.

She felt calm when Lex was beside her and took a deep breath.
"Violin Concerto."
"Tchaikovsky..." said Zoe calm while closing her eyes.
"Beautiful pieces. This is one of Tchaikovsky’s best known pieces and one of the hardest to play." said Lex.
"Yeah. Indeed..."
"He wrote this piece of music in a somewhat tumultuous time in his life,
after experiencing relationship issues and a crisis of confidence in his previous work."
"Because of that, you can hear his roller-coaster of emotions in the concerto, extreme highs and pensive lows, culminating in an uplifting ending, that signifying him coming to terms with his feelings." Zoe explain while observing the violinist skills.
"Wow, you know well. Very impressive..." praise Lex.
The lights turned on back.
The violinist is standing in the middle of the stage walked forward while still continue playing his pieces.
Zoe smiled when she heard a small mistake the violinist do.
The guests were probably not aware of the mistake.
But not her!

But his performance is still pretty sweet.
But for Zoe, this song seemed to be sarcastic to her.
Zoe suddenly snorted. Resentful.
You gave me days of sunshine
You gave me nights of cheer
