Alexander escorted Rivana to a table, his face etched with worry. "Stay calm until the event starts, Rivana." he urged her softly.
Rivana sighed softly and nodded, agreeing with him. People might mock and snicker at her, but once the real agenda of this conference was revealed, they would all come running to her. She had no doubt about it!
Finally, Viktor entered with his team following close behind. He was wearing an expensive suit, looking dashing but it was all a waste of effort. He took off his shades and looked around, his eyes falling on Rivana sitting in the corner. With a smug smile, he walked over to her.
Rivana continued scrolling through her phone, her cold indifference flickering frustration on Viktor's face. Just a few days ago, she would have been happy with just one glance from him. But now...
Keeping up his pride, Viktor asked, "I heard you were in an accident, Riv. Are you alright?"
