The launch event concluded successfully, and Elara Don breathed a sigh of relief.
Her first fragrance assignnt at Hawke Corporation was also smoothly completed.
In the evening, Damon Hawke arranged a banquet at the hotel, inviting guests from all over.
As the Chief Perfur, many people ca to toast Elara Don.
Elara Don didn’t refuse all of them and drank quite a bit, so she quickly found a quiet corner to rest.
"Charlotte."
Elena Soo ca over, opened her arms, and hugged her.
"Congratulations, the launch event was a success."
Seeing her old friend made Elara Don very happy.
"Elena, your help was crucial for the success in creating this fragrance."
"I don’t dare to take credit, just don’t bla ."
After exchanging pleasantries, Elara Don scrutinized her, "Elena, your outfit today is..."
She wore striking makeup, her outfit was very trendy.
"I’m now a resident singer at The Lockwood Club. He asked to sing today to spice things up; I have to go on stage soon."
Elena Soo said with a smile.
So that’s it.
Elara Don looked interested, "Elena, is your job going well?"
"Quite well, The Lockwood Club is not a shady place, there aren’t many ssy situations. Even when occasionally dealing with drunk guests causing trouble, it can be resolved quickly."
Elena Soo smiled gently, saying earnestly, "Charlotte, I know Ethan looks out for because of you, I really appreciate it."
She’s lucky to have t a good person like Charlotte.
"Don’t say that, I didn’t do anything."
"..."
They exchanged more modest words, and then a warm male voice ca through.
"Elly."
Elara Don looked up and saw Evan Miles slowly approaching her.
In a white suit, he looked more refined and gentlemanly.
Elara Don smiled slightly, "Evan, long ti no see."
Returning to Sea City, they seed to be each busy with their own affairs.
Evan Miles hadn’t co to see her for a long ti.
Which is fine, a noble friendship is as calm as water.
"Congratulations, the launch event was very successful, you seem to be doing well."
Evan Miles steadily looked at Elara Don, his eyes filled with warmth.
"I’m doing well. How’s Tilly? Is she okay?"
"She’s fine, although she occasionally wants to co find you."
But he can’t bring her to see her.
Evan Miles’s eyes showed a hint of restrained emotion.
Elara Don moved her lips, just about to speak when a woman’s voice ca from not far away, "Ethan!"
It was lody Lane coming over.
Elara Don held her tongue, her smile slightly restrained.
Beside her, Elena Soo glanced at lody Lane and then bid farewell to Elara Don, "Charlotte, I need to prepare, you guys chat, I’ll leave now."
"Okay."
Elara Don replied. Elena Soo nodded slightly at Evan Miles and turned to leave.
lody Lane watched Elena Soo leave, thinking of previous grievances, her eyes flashed with anger.
Her gaze fell on Elara Don’s face, sharp as a knife.
However, with Evan Miles present, she restrained her emotions.
"Elly, congratulations on creating your first fragrance for Hawke Corporation."
The woman wore a wig and smiled fakely, as Elara Don dealt with her superficially.
"We should thank Lane Corporation for their concession."
Today’s a good day, she doesn’t want the other party to spoil her mood.
But the words were like a thorn in lody Lane’s heart.
Reminding her of the dumb things she’s done.
Being led around in circles.
lody Lane’s eyes flashed with hatred, suddenly she clung to Evan Miles’s arm, "Elly, Ethan and I are about to get engaged. We’ll send you an invitation, make sure to co."
Are they really getting engaged?
A month ago, lody Lane had already tried to threaten her like this.
Elara Don remained silent, she simply looked at Evan Miles.
Evan Miles frowned, reaching to remove her hand.
"lody, you’re talking nonsense again, I didn’t agree to this wedding."
"But our parents have discussed it."
"That’s their decision."
Evan Miles’s face looked displeased, not wanting to continue the topic, he said to Elara Don, "Elly, you carry on, I’ll go over there."
"Alright."
Elara Don smiled and nodded.
Evan Miles is a great man; she doesn’t approve of him marrying lody Lane.
lody Lane is too narrow-minded, she’s not deserving of him.
"You’re so smug? Elara Don, just you wait."
lody Lane fiercely glared at Elara Don, her look wanting to tear a piece out of her.
Elara Don took a sip of wine, not taking it to heart.
She glanced towards the crowd not far away.
There, Damon Hawke’s tall figure stood out in the crowd.
Almost impossible to ignore.
Elara Don quickly shifted her gaze, not daring to think deeply.
She’d leave after a while.
She, The Player, needs to pull herself together, rid of distractions.
Nearby, Cole Hawke had just finished greeting soone; his gaze fixed in Elara Don’s direction.
Today, she was definitely dazzling.
Such a woman is suited only for Cole Hawke.
Cole Hawke gulped down his drink, his glance casually swept past and narrowed when he saw a shadow not far away.
In the corner, lody Lane was pulling soone who looked like a waiter, pointing in Elara Don’s direction.
This woman is not one to stay calm, what was she planning?
After performing a piece, Elena Soo stepped off the stage.
Feeling the urge to go to the restroom, she headed that way.
"You should co in through the back door now. Elara Don drank the spiked wine; I’ve had soone take her to the last room on the third floor to rest. It’ll be your chance soon, rember, make sure to snap her nude photos."
The faint sound of a woman’s voice erged from the corner.
Elena Soo’s steps halted, her nerves instantly tightened.
Elara Don?
Soone intended harm towards Charlotte!
And that soone is...
Elena Soo recognized the voice was lody Lane’s, she pressed herself against the corner, peeked slightly, and saw lody Lane just closing her phone.
It was indeed lody Lane.
This woman is so vicious, she plans to have soone assault Charlotte.
We can’t let her succeed!
Elena Soo promptly turned toward the third floor.
At the corner, she rushed too fast and ran directly into soone’s chest.
"Oh, Mr. Hawke."
Straightening herself hurriedly, she saw it was Damon Hawke, her face still had remnants of panic.
"Why are you running?"
Damon Hawke steadied her, asked calmly.
"Uh, Mr. Hawke, Charlotte might be in danger."
Elena Soo feared she couldn’t handle it alone, hurriedly spoke.
Damon Hawke’s calm expression sharpened suddenly.
"What is going on?"
"Co with first."
Elena Soo, not caring about anything else, signaled Damon Hawke to follow.
Damon Hawke strode after her.
They reached a room on the third floor; Elena Soo swallowed nervously, "Mr. Hawke, what lody ntioned should be this room."
Damon Hawke’s face looked frighteningly serious.
He kicked open the room door, his eyes fell on the two people inside, and his pupils suddenly contracted.
