Chapter 74 Each With Their Own Plans
“I’ll have to give it a try no matter the outcome!” Confidence shone on Kate’s face as she spoke.
“Alright, best of luck.” Oliva arched a brow. The splendid decor shone under the lights of the brightly lit hall, which formed an overwhelming sight that assaulted their senses as the both of them entered the hall.
Sounds of wine glasses clinking together could be heard amidst the low chatter of the guests, which consisted of successful men and glamorous women. They toasted each other as they walked around with grace and elegance in the lavishly decorated arena.
Olivia wore a black knee-length gown with a slightly longer hem at the back, which displayed her sexiness alongside her innocence, while making her look like a fairy straight out of a fairytale. Moreover, the lights added a glow to her fair complexion, which served as a stark contrast to her black gown.
The long, white gown Kate wore was relatively conservative. She also had her hair in a loose bun, while two strands of hair hung beside her face, which accentuated her sexy and enchanting qualities. Because of their beauty and general lack of fame within the fashion industry while compared to the other guests, they garnered the attention of many upon entering the venue.
“Who are they?” Small talk was initiated among the crowd.
“One seems to be the chief editor of ‘Bourgeoisie Life’, while the other is a stranger.”
“I’ve never heard of the magazine. How is it?”
“It’s so so. The first issue was attention grabbing. However, their sales have been dropping during their recent publications despite a good start.”
“Don’t you think the woman beside her seemed familiar? Is she Angel, the world-renown fashion designer?”
“Isn’t Angel a foreigner?”
“No, I remember seeing her photo in an article. Let me look it up!”
As the others were studying them, they began searching for Luca as soon as they entered the venue, before finally finding the man among a crowd of women while wearing his light blue suit. There was a sense of superiority in his gaze while a smirk tugged at the corner of his lips.
“Found him! Olivia, you have fun on your own, and I’ll be back in a bit!” The sight of him lit up Kate’s eyes before she ran toward him in her heels, all the whole holding a box of namecards in her pocket that she would hand to potential partners.
Olivia didn’t pay much attention to her friend’s behavior as she searched for food at the buffet counter while observing the garments worn by the other guests as a means to gain inspiration. Hmm. Might as well go around the buffet section and get something to eat.
A glance to the side had her lay eyes on the familiar figure of Aleena, but she calmed down rather quickly after figuring that it was within expectations to see her on such an occasion. However, no intentions of greeting Aleena crossed Olivia’s mind as they weren’t too acquainted to each other, while she did what she had to last time due to a lack of choice.
Aleena narrowed her eyes upon catching sight of Olivia. It seems that Robin has yet to accomplish his task, seeing that this woman is still able to show up unscathed. Fine, I’ll do this myself. Such were her thoughts while she detained one of the waiters before leading him aside. “Come with me.”
“How can I help you, Ma’am?” The waiter was visibly confused while following her. Upon arriving at a spot where there were no CCTVs, she handed a pill to the waiter before whispering orders into his ear.
“N-No way I’m doing that, Ma’am! I don’t have the guts to do this, so you’d better find someone else!” The attendant turned down her request in a flurry of panic.
“All you have to do is serve her a drink! It’s not too hard a task!” A stack of cash was retrieved by Aleena and tucked into the waiter’s pocket as she said so.
