“There will also be many actors and big variety show stars at the Chanel Launch Event. However, with your current popularity, I don’t think you are any less than any of them.” On the way to the event, Lisa knelt before Emma as she adjusted the hem of her dress. This was when Emma noticed Lisa had an abnormal amount of makeup on.
“By the time the event ends, it will be approximately 11pm. Do you have a date with Luke afterwards?”
Lisa gave a mysterious smile as she looked happily at Emma, “Uh huh, aren’t I allowed?”
“In that case, you can leave early. Eric will pick me up later…” Emma said as she grabbed her purse.
“We are almost there, hurry and get ready. This will be the first time you and Boss appear in front of the public after the revelation of your relationship. Do you think the media will let you go?” Lisa finished adjusting Emma’s silver dress. After the van stopped, she opened the door for her.
Celebrities arrived on the red carpet one at a time. By now, Emma had gotten used to the mountain of cameras and endless flashes. Even without Eric by her side, her dazzling aura could not be denied.
“Quick, have a look. Appearing on the red carpet now is our Emma. Her silver dress really suits her elegant and dignified aura. Let’s give her a warm welcome.”
The venue was a 5-star hotel, so the red carpet wasn’t very long; it was only a few meters in length. It wasn’t long before Emma reached the signing wall. As she faced the cameras, she left her name on the wall before returning the pen to the host.
“Once again, we would like to welcome Emma. Please make your way into the venue.”
Inside the luxurious hotel, pink and champagne roses decorated the entire main hall. Also, upon each seat were the names of the guests as well as thoughtfully hand-made flower corsages.
Emma quickly found her seat and sat down. On her left sat the famous A-list actress, Nessa who recently married into a rich family. As for the person on her right, this person had not yet arrived. However, she did not sound like someone from the film and television industry. Her name was Ivana Cromwell.
Nessa arrived first. Her presence was undeniable. If Emma was considered cold, then Nessa also carried a sense of indifference.
Emma nodded politely at Nessa and Nessa smiled back.
At this time, the guest on Emma’s right also arrived.
Emma and Nessa turned their heads to the right. However, the guest that arrived did not expect to see Emma…
Emma noticed the glimmer of surprise in the woman’s eyes. But, from memory, she had never met her before.
“Miss Miller, I am your fan,” Ivana stretched out her hand and revealed a perfect smile. She was indeed not from the film and entertainment industry; that would lower her status. As the precious daughter of a rich tycoon, there was no way she’d expose herself as an actress.
When it came to other people, she may have ignored them. Emma on the other hand, she felt it was necessary to greet her.
Emma didn’t sense any trace of friendliness from the woman’s eyes, but she also didn’t feel it was necessary to label her an enemy just yet. So, she stretched out her hand and gently shook Ivana’s delicate hand.
After shaking her hand, Ivana quickly drew her hand back. Emma slightly raised her eyebrows in confusion.
Ivana maintained a polite smile but stood up to go to the bathroom. Emma looked at her questioningly as a clear voice whispered in her ear, “Ivana is the daughter of G&J Corporation. She usually thinks highly of herself and doesn’t like to come in contact with women in the film and television industry. Since she shook hands with you, she is probably rushing off to get them washed.”
Emma turned to look at Nessa who was explaining the situation. She nodded, gesturing that she didn’t mind.
“You are indeed born with greatness to be able to understand her.”
“From memory, you were also born into a perfume empire. In terms of background, you may not be at a loss.”
With the mention of the Miller family, Emma’s exp**ssion turned cold along with her voice, “I am just a model.”
Nessa smiled without saying another word. At events like this, she was merely saying what people wanted to hear. Since they were from different companies, she had no reason to be genuine.
Not long after, Ivana returned to her seat. As for Emma, the sense of distance emanating from her body was stronger than ever. At times like this, she would normally warn strangers not to get close to her.
The look in Ivana’s eyes were extremely overbearing. Every now and then, she would look at Emma, making her feel uncomfortable.
By the time the event reached halfway, Emma suddenly received a phone call from Eric. Emma glanced at the phone number before standing up and heading for the bathroom.
“At what time will the event approximately end? I’ll come pick you up.”
“Around 11pm,” Emma replied.
“OK, I’ll set out from Kaleidoscope at 10:30pm then.”
After Emma hung up the phone, she returned to her seat. At this time, Ivana turned to her and smiled, “Was that Mr. Roberts?”
Hearing Ivana’s question, Emma felt extremely uncomfortable. Her tone sounded like she was well acquainted with Eric.
“Tell Mr. Roberts I said Hi.”
Emma’s gaze suddenly changed from a polite glance to a piercing glare. It even contained a trace of questioning ridicule, “Ivana, you seem to carry a sense of hostility towards me.”
“Go home and ask Mr. Roberts. He should know why,” Ivana acted like an ex-lover, making Emma feel disgusted. Of course, she was never one to have her feelings written across her face. Above all, there was definitely no way she’d suspect Eric because of Ivana’s words.
Suffering a loss was not consistent with her style…
Just as Nessa thought Emma was another person who couldn’t do anything to Ivana, Emma suddenly pulled out a phone from her bag. In front of the two women, she called through to Eric.
“Eric…”
“Hmm?” On the other end of the phone, Eric’s voice was deep and charming.
“Are you familiar with Ivana?” Emma asked straightforwardly.
“Who’s that?” Eric asked back in a surprised tone.
Emma gently laughed as she put down her phone. Meanwhile, Ivana’s exp**ssion did not look pleased after hearing Eric’s response.
“It seems Mr. Roberts must be preoccupied with work. After you see him, make sure to ask him if he remembers the person his assistant called outside the Civil Affairs Office on August 19th.”
After hearing these words, Emma finally understood the situation a bit better. That was the date Eric was supposed to get married. But…his bride did not arrive.
It turned out, the bride-to-be was Ivana…
But, since Eric said he didn’t know who she was, then Emma was going to take his word for it. As for why Ivana was originally chosen, she would need to question him about it once she got home…
“He usually doesn’t remember unimportant people and things.”
After hearing this, Ivana wasn’t annoyed. She simply leaned in and said to Emma, “According to Eric’s family background, there is no way he would marry you. I’m sure you are well aware that there is no way you can benefit his career. Plus, I’m sure you know better than I do, how filthy a female model is.”
Ivana thought her words would anger Emma…
But, Emma was exceptionally calm…
