Naomi was really looking forward to the event, therefore she arrived at the venue quite early.
Benedict bought a drink and handed it over to her.
"Your favorite!"
Naomi took a look at the drink and said, "It is indeed. Thank you, Cutie Pie!"
Upon hearing her words, Benedict felt embarrassed.
"Don't call me that. I'm already all grown up!"
Naomi smiled indifferently and turned her head away. She said, "There seems to be an exhibition over there. Let's head over and have a look!"
Just as she finished saying so, she scuttled far, far away.
Benedict sighed as he looked at her figure going further and further away.
Due to the display being an ancient building, many people had come to the event.
The host introduced it excitedly, "This is an architectural model left by the Wright family of Magichitect. However, I don't really feel like giving an explanation about it today. All of you gathered here today are the best of the best in the architectural field. I would like to invite a professional to explain about it. Is there anyone who would like to volunteer?"
Naomi stretched her head out to look at the lifelike architectural model. Her architectural knowledge was limited, but her mother, Eudora, was an enthusiast in the field.
After her retirement a few years ago, she would occasionally join some philanthropic projects that involved architectural design. Of course, Naomi had heard of Magichitect countless times.
Everyone who was in the architectural field would know about Magichitect and Sinclair Wright!
They were the designer and builders of the palace.
Although there were many people there, not many were willing to go onstage and give an explanation regarding the building. After all, it was the work of experts. If they failed to explain it well, they would become the laughingstocks of the exhibition.
Seeing that the atmosphere was about to turn awkward, the host quickly found another solution.
the host beckoned her, "Why don't we invite this graceful lady to come forward and explain?"
All eyes turned to Naomi. By the time Naomi noticed the stares, she was already in the spotlight.
Unfortunately, she had not done any research on the building at all, hence she had no idea how to give the audience a suitable introduction.
Benedict hurriedly stepped forward and stood in front of Naomi. He said, "She won't take you up on your offer. Please pick someone else!"
Naomi felt extremely out of place.
The host insisted, "I reckon that she's quite interested in it, so why don't we just let her give an introduction?"
Naomi became tongue-tied at the moment.
When she saw that Benedict was about to help her out again, she covered his mouth fast.
She ordered, "Stop it!"
The more Benedict defended her, the more uneasy she would feel.
"Miss, are you from Valiant East? You must be an accomplished architect. Why don't you go forward and have a try?" asked the rest of the people.
Naomi was confounded as she had not expected them to know that. She lowered her head and realized that she was wearing her work badge.
She had been so thrilled to be able to join the event that she had forgotten to take it off.
She really was caught in a dilemma. If she screwed up, Valiant East's reputation would definitely be tainted.
As she was in deep contemplation, she heard a familiar voice from behind her.
The person shouted, "I'll do it!"
When Naomi turned around, she met with Nelson's gaze.
She stared blankly at him for a moment then immediately lowered her head. Nelson took the opportunity to walk onto the stage.
"Hi, may I share some of my opinions?"
The host had just wanted to liven up the atmosphere. Now that there was someone to pick up the conversation, he naturally relented.
"Of course! Then, let's listen to this gentleman!"
Nelson turned around, pointed at the model, and slowly began to speak.
