Ada's wedding was just two weeks away.
Lately, Evadne had been running around like a headless chicken. She was not only adjusting the wedding planning according to Ada's wishes, but also personally supervising the site decoration and reviewing important documents like materials, funds, and personnel. On her busiest day, she only managed to catch three hours of sleep.
But she was loving every minute of it. The busier she got, the more energized she felt, especially when there was a potential profit at the end of the tunnel.
After a morning team meeting, Evadne was in her office, munching on a sandwich while reviewing documents.
Jason walked in, shaking his head at the sight of her multitasking. "Ms. Evadne, you shouldn't work and eat at the same time. It’s murder on your stomach."
"No choice, I've got an event to attend this afternoon," Evadne replied, her eyes still glued to the documents.
"So you're booked solid today? I thought you might have some downtime this afternoon." Jason was concerned.
"Let's talk about downtime after Ada's wedding. I've got too much on my plate to chill out now."
Evadne took a sip of her coffee, then asked, "Any news from Glynnis and Elspeth?"
"I've been keeping tabs on them, nothing so far."
Jason thought for a moment, then asked, "Do you think they've given up because our preparations are in full swing and they see no opportunity?"
Evadne remembered Thaddeus's words that day and scoffed, "Stay alert. Glynnis worked her ass off to get this opportunity from Thaddeus, she won't give up that easily."
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
An executive secretary walked in with a fancy white gift box.
"Ms. Evadne, here are the pastries you asked me to get from the kitchen, all packed as per your instructions."
"Thanks, just put it on the table."
After the secretary left, Jason opened the gift box to find exquisite rose apple pies. The sight of the pies brought a smile to his face as he remembered how Evadne meticulously prepared them.
"Jason, we need to get going soon. Go get ready."
In the afternoon, Thaddeus returned to his office after a meeting.
"Mr. Thaddeus, there's a jewelry exhibition this afternoon. We received an invitation a week ago. Ada will be there, shouldn't we go too?"
Before Gordon could finish, Thaddeus flatly refused, "No."
"Are you sure?" Gordon blinked, "Our reputation took a hit when Ada chose K Orld Hotel over us. If we don't show up at this critical moment, it might stir up all sorts of speculation. The press has started to make stuff up, saying that we're not going out of jealousy because K Orld Hotel stole Ada from us, that we're narrow-minded."
"Glynnis will go. She's in charge of the Ada project now."
Thaddeus was still indifferent, sarcastically saying, "Birds of a feather flock together. Glynnis always jumps at the chance to attend such events."
"But I just received news that Mrs. Abernathy has arrived at the venue."
Thaddeus's eyes flickered.
"Get my clothes and prepare the car."
Gordon chuckled to himself, only in front of Mrs. Abernathy did Mr. Thaddeus show his true feelings.
This year's top luxury jewelry brand, Aurora Adornments, held their grand show at the Elmsworth International Convention Centre.
Many important figures from the domestic fashion industry and A-list celebrities all dressed up to attend. The glitz and glamour was no less than a star-studded awards ceremony.
Among them, international superstar Ada's stunning appearance was undoubtedly the most eye-catching. After all, Ada was not only the international superstar of the show, but also the brand ambassador of Aurora Adornments.
Glynnis and Edith, as the daughters of two major Elmsworth families, easily got invitations that other minor celebrities would kill for.
The two of them walked one after the other onto the red carpet, posing for the media as if their feet were glued to the carpet, which annoyed the reporters.
If it weren't for the host repeatedly "warmly inviting" them, they might have stayed on the red carpet forever.
"I can't stand it, do they not have a carpet at home? They're sticking to it and won't leave, it's so embarrassing!"
