Even Matthew, the driver, could sense the strange, charged atmosphere in the car.
But would he dare to think about it?
Even if he heard something, he would pretend he hadn't heard it clearly.
And if he understood, he would pretend he didn't!
Emma curled her lips and asked, "Liam, when we get to the conference hall, what should I do?"
At this moment, the only way to break the awkward silence was to change the subject.
"I'll let you handle the arrangements. You don't have to do anything. Just keep smiling."
When she heard his reply, Emma felt a chill run down her spine.
Why was Liam so cold and aloof? Just a second ago, he was in high spirits, asking her about her three circles.
Now, as if nothing had happened, he had turned back into his usual icy-faced self!
...
At 9 a.m., the launch of Milan Fashion House began on time.
Just as the big boss had said last night, Emma didn't necessarily have to attend the morning activities. But she wanted to make a good impression, so she took the initiative to come.
As a result, she only realized how many people were there when she arrived. Liam had left in a hurry without even getting out of the car.
Even Christopher had found a front-row seat for Emma in the hall, given her some advice, and then disappeared.
In general, the first part of the press conference was for the boss to say a few words, introducing the new products and the creative inspiration behind them.
But because this was a fashion show, Milan Fashion House had one extra segment: the runway show.
Among the many new products being launched, selecting representative clothing and having Chinese contracted models display them not only deepened the audience's impression but also allowed the latest styles to quickly catch the public's eye in the most direct way.
Isabella was naturally one of the many models. With her tall figure and flawless face, she had been hailed as one of the hottest models in the city shortly after entering the Chinese market.
As Christopher had said, she truly had a talent for modeling.
In addition, Isabella's proud attitude and invincible gaze were extremely harmonious with the launch of the new Milan Fashion House collection.
At around 9:30, the reporters and guests in the meeting hall had almost all arrived.
Liam walked onto the stage in his suit and shoes, and began to explain the process of the new autumn and winter product launch.
He was full of sound and emotion, serious yet humorous, dignified yet witty.
Occasionally, he would raise his eyes, lift the corners of his mouth into a handsome curve, and look at the reporters below the stage, an elegant smile on his face.
This kind of Liam was so handsome!
Emma sat under the stage, listening attentively to every word he said, her eyes never leaving his figure.
Her clear eyes were full of tenderness and admiration.
Maybe it was because she was used to seeing Liam's cold face at home, and now she was seeing his other side.
Emma felt like a mischievous deer had taken up residence in her heart, bumping around mindlessly, making her restless.
Although all the camera shots were directed at Liam, she was still a little nervous.
At this rate, would she be alone all day?
If that were the case, it would be really boring.
So, she took out her phone from her bag and sent a message to Olivia:
[Hey, girl? Are you busy?]
As soon as the message was sent, Olivia seemed to have encountered the same problem, replying almost instantly:
[Of course, I'm busy. The boss isn't here, and I don't know what to do with myself!]
The tone sounded a bit sour, but she should be in a good mood.
It was said that the big devil boss had broken Olivia's heart.
What?
Don't know what to do?
Did that mean she wasn't busy?
Emma glanced at the reply, then looked up at Liam on the stage. An idea spontaneously arose.
It would be better to ask Olivia to spend this boring time with her.
[Olivia, if you're free, are you interested in coming to the launch of Milan Fashion House in the hall on the first floor of Pinnacle Corporation?]
Would Olivia like this kind of activity that sounded so high-end?
[I'm not interested in what kind of conference it is, but as a single noble with taste and fashion, this kind of place is a good place for me to make some money! Wait for me, I'll be right there!]
Pfft! Seeing Olivia's message, Emma couldn't help but laugh!
Was the single dog who wanted to climb the high branch as arrogant as she said?
Forget it, she couldn't care too much about these details.
It was good that she was coming. If Olivia was there, Emma would feel more at ease.
Ten minutes later, Emma's phone rang abruptly in the hall, sounding like a frying pan.
Damn it, she had forgotten to mute her phone! The cheerful song "I Want Us to Be Together" by the singer Xiaoxuan was playing loudly from her phone.
For a moment, everyone's eyes focused on her, including Liam, who was speaking on the stage. He frowned and looked at Emma unhappily.
Emma deeply felt the laser fire coming from all directions. She calmly pressed the answer button and ran to the door with her phone in hand.
Liam coughed awkwardly twice, quickly regained his composure, and continued his introduction.
But in his heart, there was some anger.
Was this woman stupid or doing it on purpose?
On such an important occasion, how could she make such a scene?
What time was it? Instead of hanging up the phone, she trotted out of the meeting in full view of the public?
What a mess!
...
Outside.
Emma held her phone, her urgent voice trembling slightly. "Sis, what's the matter? You almost got me killed. Where are you?"
"I've been standing at the door for a long time, but the security guard said I didn't have an invitation and just refused to let me in! Do you think I'm angry?"
Olivia's voice was so loud that passersby could hear it clearly.
This was really Emma's negligence. Pinnacle Corporation was such a big group. How could anyone just walk in?
So, she walked to the gate.
Sure enough, at this moment, Olivia was still arguing with the young security guard at the door.
Seeing Emma come over, she immediately became arrogant and domineering, her pleading voice gone. "See, look who's behind you? I told you earlier, I'm your young lady's friend. Do you have eyes on your butt? How dare you stop me?"
The young security guard was also helpless. When he turned around, he saw Emma coming over, reached for Olivia's arm, and immediately put a smile on his face. Looking at Emma, he whispered, "Young lady, we're just following the rules. It's because I didn't recognize her as your friend. I'm sorry to bother you to come out in person."
"Well, it's okay. Can she go in now?" Emma's face held a smile, full of warmth.
Hadn't Liam said that?
She just needed to smile.
Olivia raised her nose and snorted coldly, saying, "Rules are dead, people are alive. Next time you see me, stop me, and don't blame me for moving my feet to you!"
Was she really afraid that others wouldn't know her womanhood?
If they didn't agree with each other, she threatened to clean up others.
Emma was both angry and amused.
