“Hey Nadia! How many guests are here?" Evelyn asked.

"There's an hour left before the launch formally starts. Almost ninety-five percent of our guests have signed in," Nadia replied.

“Are the models ready? How about the clothing lines and the designers?"

After Evelyn put the signed papers aside, a second stack of papers was handed to her.

“Rest assured, Evelyn. Everything is ready

“What about the photographers? Are they in position?"

“Chill. Everything's taken care of."

After hearing the answer she wanted, Evelyn heaved a sigh of relief.

“Okay. Thank you."

“It's my duty."

At 5:45 p.m., the hostess came onstage and recited her speech.

"Welcome to Glamour's autumn Launch. Glamour is a clothing brand under Hilton

Group, and I am the hostess of the event, Renee Dean. Now, put your hands together for Evelyn Hilton, regional CEO of Hilton Group. She'll be taking over the mike for a bit to kick off the press conference and tell you more.”

The name Evelyn Hilton instantly started a stir among the guests. Most of them had never heard of her before.

But they did know who Carlos was. Everyone did. So they started wondering if Evelyn had anything to do with him.

The catwalk was all lit up. A woman appeared at the other end. She walked towards the audience in her high heels.

She possessed features a girl would kill for-perfect fair skin, a pair of round, innocent eyes, a beautifully shaped nose, and soft, red lips.

She wore a graceful smile.

She had French braids circling her head, her long Lustrous black hair spilled down her back. She was in a black evening dress long enough to reach the ankles. It had lace in all the right places, exposing the swell of her breasts and the dimples of Venus, without being too immodest. The right side of her dress was split to show off her long leg, but stopped just above the knee.

She wore jewelry that common people could only dream of. Her necklace, earrings, rings, bracelets, all of them were made of precious metals, with ruby and diamond settings and ornaments.

Everything was meant to flow together, the designs and the jewelry melded nicely. Nothing would seem too ostentatious.

With her fair skin and elegant bearing, she was like a goddess descending upon the world.

Her appearance caused a commotion among the guests. Even those who were already famous couldn't help talking about her when they saw her take the stage.

"Who is she? Why haven't I seen her before? The regional CEO was supposed to give a speech, right? Wow, she is so hot. Is she a model?

Who is that?"
