Chapter 395 Opening Ceremony
Olivia thought, This man is becoming too comfortable these days. Wasn’t I his girlfriend a moment ago? How did I end up becoming his wife now?
“Alright, let’s not discuss this. Why don’t you check your reflection in the mirror?” she suggested while shoving against him.
Eugene remained motionless while maintaining his grip around her. “I trust my girlfriend’s fashion sense.”
Upon hearing that, she was rendered speechless. This man seems to be clingier over time.
“In that case, get North to have breakfast now. Aren’t you attending my cousin brother’s opening ceremony with me?”
Only then did Eugene obediently agree while reluctantly releasing his grip.
The opening ceremony of the ‘Nine-Tailed Fox No.7’ was held at the Oceanic Hotel.
By the time Olivia and Eugene arrived, the majority of the guests were already there.
Therefore, they went over to greet Marcus.
He looked pleasantly surprised because he did not expect Eugene to be in attendance, but still exchanged greetings with the latter. How honored am I to have Eugene drop by?
Nevertheless, he knew deep in his heart that Eugene had most probably showed up due to Olivia’s influence.
While observing their behavior and matching attires, Marcus could not help but feel a twinge of jealousy. My younger cousin-sister is finally together with a man.
Olivia did not want reporters to catch her with Eugene whereas he did not want to be at the center of attention. Therefore, he entered the venue earlier with Marcus.
At that moment, the creative crew were present with the camera flash from the huge crowd of media surrounding them. There was also a large group of fans who were gathered outside after they caught wind of the event.
The mythology drama was a massive intellectual property, considering that the original novel already had millions of fans. Now that it was being adapted into a film and showed on the silver screen, it was creating quite a stir among the fans. Besides, it had also attracted a lot of attention, especially since the cast consisted of talented, popular actors.
Eugene attracted a lot of attention the moment he entered and some people even recognized him.
“Why is Eugene Nolan here? Did the Nolan Group invest in this drama too?”
“I think he is acquainted with Marcus Cohen. They were chatting a while ago.”
“He can’t be here for one of the celebrities, can he?”
“I doubt that. Throughout the years, Eugene has been known for his self-control and preserving his integrity.”
“Are you assuming that he is pure and innocent merely because the media has nothing to report on him? If he is truly innocent, why are young celebrities having the audacity to approach him?” a woman commented while pointing at a girl approaching Eugene.
Another female responded in shock. “Oh, I know that woman. She is the fourth female lead, Zoe Lane. That woman has such an exaggerated girly tone that you’ll have goosebumps if you were to hear her speak.”
A third lady agreed and elaborated, “Yes, that’s right. I know her too. I heard that she’s from a wealthy family and she invested in the drama with a whopping 30 million, so even Marcus has to be courteous around her.”
“Huh! Did 30 million buy her the fourth female lead? She should have at least gotten the main female lead!”
“Do you think anyone can assume the role of the female lead? Wouldn’t her acting skills ruin the entire show?”
Zoe was completely oblivious to the crowd’s discussion about her as she was merely surprised to bump into Eugene, so she appeared excited when she skipped happily to him. “Gene!”
Eugene turned and asked in surprise, “Why are you here?”
He wasn’t just confused about bumping into Zoe. On the contrary, her green gown caught his attention because it was similar in design to the one that Olivia wore. Of course, it’ll never be as beautiful as Olivia’s, but it will be embarrassing to be wearing similar gowns in a crowd of hundreds of people!
Should I inform my girlfriend?
After a close observation of Zoe’s gown, he realized that there were subtle differences. Although Zoe’s green gown has petals sewn across her chest and it is a long gown with a high slit, hers does not have a bareback design whereas Olivia’s one has.
Furthermore, the materials seem different because Olivia’s gown is obviously made from premium quality material whereas Zoe’s gown… How shall I describe it? It looks non-descriptive and lacks character.
