The press conference table in front of the stage was beautifully arranged, and the lighting and music made for an excellent setting.
This tens of meters long Catwalk stage is made of black acrylic, which can reflect light around it like a jet black mirror.
There were three rows of seats on either side of the catwalk, and the guests seemed to have been seated.
Juliet and Morgan sat on the left in the middle of the first row.
Their special identity and extraordinary appearance made many people look their way. Morgan looked lightly at the women around him from the corner of his eye.
Meanwhile, Juliet was acting very calm, ignoring people's curious stares.
She took out the notebook and pen she had prepared from her bag and carefully awaited the conference's opening.
Morgan's eyebrows rose slightly, and he felt the woman the big boss had forced on him seemed a little interesting.
….
Time passed quietly. At 6.00 pm, the lights in the room dim, and the music disappears.
Edward, dressed in formal attire, appeared on the catwalk under the glare of the lights.
"Thank you to all the invitees who have attended the launch of the new 'HERS' product this time."
Edward held the microphone in his hand and stood confidently in front of the stage, delivering a speech before starting the fashion show.
His eyes swept over the guests on every side of the catwalk. In an instant, he could see Juliet sitting beside Morgan in the front row.
The woman was dressed in black, sitting in the dark, but still attracting attention. She was like a mysterious fairy, with a charming charm that one couldn't stop staring at.
However, during Edward's speech, Juliet simply lowered her head to the side, holding a notebook in her hand and writing something down. She didn't even raise her head once.
This feeling of neglect made Edward feel unhappy.
"In the end, I hope our new product will surprise you."
After Edward finished speaking, he nodded and bowed politely to everyone, then left the stage and went behind the scenes.
Shortly after he left, Juliet, who had been sitting motionless the entire time, raised her head.
Juliet thought she didn't care and could face Edward calmly. Still, the stiffness of her body and the coldness of her palms reminded her that the traces of Edward left in her heart during a year of dating were not that easy to disappear.
The new product launch exhibition began as soon as Edward stepped off the catwalk.
The catwalk spotlights flashed, and models wearing new products walked with confident looks and graceful postures, revealing themselves under everyone's gaze.
Juliet pays close attention to the outfits displayed by each model and sometimes picks up a pen to remember them.
Meanwhile, Edward, who was in the distance, was watching her intently.
The stage lights didn't highlight Juliet, but in Edward's eyes, at this moment, Juliet was the spotlight that he couldn't take his eyes off her.
Juliet's serious appearance exuded her calm mood. However, her elegance seemed to have a pair of invisible hands constantly caressing Edward's heart, making him even more reluctant.
After a long fashion show, Morgan told Juliet he had something to do and had to leave early.
Hearing Morgan speaks seriously, Juliet reluctantly let him go home and pretended not to notice that Morgan had yawned several times before. Nevertheless, it can be seen that Morgan is not very satisfied with the quality of the exhibition.
"Don't forget the task I gave you. It should be delivered to my desk in two days." Then, before leaving, Morgan reminded her.
Juliet nodded and watched Morgan leave.
The catwalk shows were still going on, and Juliet was left alone. She concentrated on the show until the empty seat by her side was occupied by someone.
Juliet raised her head. The smile on her face disappeared when she saw the person's face. She pulled back her eyes and continued to look at the model on the stage.
"Sister, you really are persistent. Brother Edward has revoked your permission to participate in the exhibition, but you still have the ability to enter." Jasmine didn't care about Juliet's carefree attitude and continued to speak to provoke her, "Uh, the show will be over soon, and there will be dinner together. However, you are letting the man you rely on go at this moment; is it because you are afraid that his presence will interfere with you finding the next man?"
Jasmine endlessly sneered at Juliet so other people around them could hear clearly.
Sensing strange gazes from all around, Juliet still didn't care. "Is that what you think?" Finally, Juliet looked up on the stage and answered very calmly, "I'm afraid I don't have time to participate in the dinner. After watching the show, I had to hurry home. I don't have time to find a suitable stepping stone here."
Hearing Juliet's words, several people seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and began to take their eyes off of Juliet.
"But… what about you? You're a fashion-savvy person, but you came to the fair. Isn't that just because of the dinner party tonight?" Juliet said lightly, "Unfortunately, no major entertainment industry artists have come to participate today can help you climb to the top."
Juliet's words were like knives, piercing deep into Jasmine's heart.
"Otherwise, how could you still have time to be here with me?" Juliet finally turned to look at Jasmine and added, "Too bad you've bothered to dress up."
There was something in Juliet's gaze. Her smile made Jasmine feel disgusted.
Jasmine bit her lip and glared at Juliet angrily. "Juliet Estelle! What are you talking about?!"
Juliet shrugged, averted her eyes, and continued to watch the show, unwilling to speak to her anymore.
Jasmine's face turned red with anger. Her bright red fingernails were stuck in the flesh from her clenched fists, and her irritated look caused everyone around them to look at her with disdain.
Jasmine was so angry that she gritted her teeth. However, after all, with so many people present, she couldn't attack Juliet. So, she had to bear these grievances in her heart. If only she had known that the celebrities who had come to participate today were all minor celebrities, she wouldn't have been seducing Edward all the time and spent several nights just begging the man.
Thinking of the loss, Jasmine, who was holding back the embarrassment, was eager to leave the place.
However, just as she was about to stand up after the exhibition was over, suddenly, the light in the entire room went out.
The room fell into darkness for a moment, and everyone did not understand what was happening.
Everyone turned their heads in confusion until the emcee's voice came through the microphone.
"Everyone, let us invite our final guest to appear. He is the superstar known as the female conqueror—Jacob Carlton!"
As soon as the emcee's voice fell, the room was filled with the hysterical screams of the girls.
