Chapter 616
Worried that she would attract too much attention from people around, Danica didn't have the guts to walk in publicly. She couldn't do much but walk back and forth at the entrance a couple of times, paying full attention to the situation inside the hall.
"I see. Is this a fashion press conference? Looking at the decorations and setting, it seems like... a fashion show?"
She roughly judged from what she saw. There were too many familiar faces in the press conference at just a glance. They were all dressed in fancy clothing and gorgeously set hairstyles; it seemed like a solemn event.
"Which one of them is Victoria? She should be somewhere close to Alicia! Was she dressed in red? A business-like dress? She must be someone extraordinary to have the ability to get all the Four Great Masters to come for her show!"
Danica paced back and forth at the door repeatedly, fearing to take another look as she stayed in a corner and bit her nails. Memories filled her mind. At the moment when she felt thoroughly anxious, there was a man dressed in a shop assistant's uniform walking towards her, with a hand on his phone and another holding a large bouquet. Without much consideration, she pretended to be tidying her hair as she bumped into him.
"Gosh..."
"I'm sorry! I'm really sorry! Are you alright, miss?"
Looking towards him, Danica looked angry and stared at him furiously as she deliberately patted her beautiful dress, "Did you not watch where you were going? Luckily my dress isn't dirtied!"
She scolded him at first, but then softened her tone a little as she asked, "Hey. These flowers look absolutely gorgeous! Are these for Victoria? "Ah!" The shop assistant was pleasantly surprised, "Do you know Miss Atlas? These flowers are indeed for her to congratulate her on her successful show! May I ask, where is the banquet hall?"
"Isn't it over there? I'm her friend. I can pass these to her! There were just too many flowers for her today! You'd better not go over so that you won't be blocked at the door. Who knows how long you'll need to wait!"
"I'll appreciate that very much! Could you sign here for me, please?"
The waiter took out a booklet and handed it over to her. Danica wanted to sign 'Victoria Atlas' but was entirely sure of the correct spelling of her name. She then casually signed the name, Molly Cook, and added the word 'on behalf' after thinking about it!
After checking through the signature, the shop assistant handed her the bouquet and thanked her once again before he left.
At this moment, Danica was obviously more bold by having these flowers as a cover as she got a better picture of the situation from the waiters who came in and out of the hall. In the name of delivering the bouquet, she confirmed Victoria's appearance from a few people before she could set her target and walk towards the backstage area.
Just when she was about to reach the door, her phone rang instantly, and she couldn't help but grit her teeth as soon as she saw Mr. Conley's name. At that moment, she swiftly moved to the side and picked up the call,
"What the hell are you doing? What's with the no-show?"
She spoke coquettishly in her lowest voice as soon as she opened her mouth,
"Mr. Conley, please don't be mad! How would I dare to do that? Coincidentally I bumped into a friend and got caught up. Please give me a few more minutes! I promise that I won't disappoint you tonight! As a surprise, let me keep this a secret for now..."
"I'll explain the details to you in a minute!"
"Mhm, mhm, I promise I won't keep you waiting for nothing!"
As soon as she hung up the phone, Danica's expression immediately turned ugly, "Bah! Old pervert!
She then turned around and set her phone on silent mode!
Walking to the entrance for the crew members, she raised the flowers high up while covering her face with a paper towel as if she wasn't feeling well, "Ahem, is Miss Atlas here? Which way is it to her room?"
"Miss Atlas is just right in front. You may pass the flowers to me! There, place the bouquet over at the corner!"
"There will be no need for that. I'll do it myself! These flowers must be taken with great care. In case it gets destroyed!"
The person in charge gave her a look and went on with his own business, "Suit yourself then!"
On the other side, Alicia stayed for the second half of the show until she had a chance to get close to Victoria as she had reluctantly parted with her, "Is there really nothing that I can help with?"
Shaking her head, Victoria gave her a polite smile and said, "No need! This is not my first time. I had done the arrangements for everything!" She then got even closer to her ear and whispered jokingly, "Now, quickly leave! Your man is already getting anxious!
Although she said so, Victoria
noticed the gaze of admiration that Frederick had for Alicia that hadn't ✩ disappeared throughout the night From the bottom of her heart, she was actually envious to see such a loving couple and that Alicia could find herself a good man who loved and cared for her tenderly!
Both ladies could clearly see the stories in each other's eyes as Alicia stopped insisting with her offer, "Please give me a call when you're free. I'm working as a freelancer now! My time will be flexible to hang out with you! I really have a lot to tell you!"
"Me too! Maybe in a couple of days after settling the show..."
There was still a lot to be followed up even though the press conference had ended, especially with the orders that came in after the show!
Alicia nodded and waved her hands, "Mhm, I'll get going now! Call me if you need anything at any time! You know, I'm not alone now! I should be able to get them to help!"
She glanced back with the spark dwelling at the edge of her eyes with happiness that couldn't be concealed shown on her lips.
"I know! I will if I need help! Get going already!"
Victoria came back to the venue after sending Alicia to the entrance.
On this night, Trevor intended to impress Victoria with the efforts that he made for her press conference which was unexpectedly being credited to someone else. He hadn't spoken to anyone throughout the night, only finding the two best friends chattering closely
He gently swirled the glass of wine in his hand while his sight had never left Victoria for even a second. However, there was a depressing feeling in his heart.
Victoria's relationship with Alicia was undeniably close and unusual! There was so much intimacy between the ladies while she was something like a heated iron or a plant with thorns all over her body to him!
She wasn't someone whom he could casually fall in love with or play with!
Once again, his entire mind was occupied by the indiscernible thoughts!
He was falling for a woman whom he should least mess with!
He still did not leave even after his friends left, and he felt even more depressed...
At this moment, Danica laid in front of a bald old man in the club with a phone in her hands, as she spoke in a flattering manner.
"Mr. Conley, it's my honor to be serving you! However, how could my beauty be compared to my sister here? Look at her, doesn't she have an angel's look and devilishly hot body?"
After that, she then showed him a photoshopped picture of Alicia that she had long prepared. She still had long hair in the photo with an elongated body that prominently showed a sexier body shape,This is from NôvelDrama.Org.
"This is a real-life photo! I wouldn't fool you with the generosity that you've shown me! If you are really interested in her, I'll definitely try my best to get her to you tonight! I've even booked a room for the both of you! Just so you know, tonight isn't a good time for me to..."
"I'd never break my promise if it wasn't to keep your wonderful night going. I'd never... I'd never take such a risk!"
