"Nice to see you, madam," Chris, very approachable, smiled and gave Garcia his hand-friendly.
After shaking hands with Chris, Garcia was montarily unable to speak with excitent.
Savannah laughed. Garcia would not wash her hands for at least two days.
Chris was really good at pleasing elders.
Although he was a big star, he was easy to get along with and never put on airs, no wonder he enjoyed great popularity.
"Are you ready to go?" Chris smiled and looked at Savannah.
Savannah nodded, said goodbye to Garcia, and got in the car with Chris.
At the door, a maid watched Savannah leave in Chris's sports car, hurried back to the house, and dialed a number.
"Sir, Miss Schultz was picked up by Chris Pattinson. They seem to attend the celebration party for the Fashion Queen."

"Stop!"
At the sa ti, Dylan, in a moving Lamborghini, ordered coldly after he hung up the phone.
The luxury car creaked to a halt on the side of the road.
The bodyguard, sitting in the driver's seat, looked at his boss through the rearview mirror, wondering what happened.
A few seconds later, Dylan spoke quietly, his expression unreadable, "turn around, go to Sovereign Hotel."
"Ah?" The bodyguard was stunned, "but you have an appointnt with Mr. Johnson..."
"Ask the secretary to inform Johnson that the business will be discussed later tonight," he said with a very emphatic pronunciation.
The bodyguard gasped. Tonight's business was worth billions of dollars, and the custor ca to LA from Europe in person. Mr. Sterling had attached great importance to the business.
He did not know what had co over Mr. Sterling to make him change the schedule so abruptly. But whatever it was, it must be worth more than this business.
Without asking more, the bodyguard turned the steering wheel, rushing towards Sovereign Hotel at full speed.

Sovereign Hotel
Chris walked into the banquet hall with Savannah on his arm. Flashbulbs started popping everywhere.
Savannah knew there would be dia at the party, but she didn't expect so many.
The role of Angelina suddenly attached to high popularity, even more, welcod than the leading lady. What's more, the male companion beside her was one of the most popular male stars. As expected, she attracted the attention of a lot of reporters.
"Mr. Pattinson, why are you at the party with Miss Schultz today?"
"In the play, you have a lot of scenes together, are you dating in real life?"
"Miss Schultz, it's said Fashion Queen is your first play, but your performance is not bad. Is there any instruction or advice from Mr. Pattinson?"
Compared to Chris, who handled the questions from the reporters skillfully, Savannah was much more nervous. Though she had been a still model and was used to facing the cara, she had never been the center of so many reporters' attention like today.
Chris seed to sense her nervousness. He leaned over and whispered to her ear, soothing her gently,
"Don't be afraid. It's up to , and all you need to do is keep smiling."
Chris's comfort made Savannah feel much relax. She t the reporters' eyes with her sweet, hospitable smile and listened to Chris calmly.
Chris dealt with the reporters skillfully. He was polite to everyone, and his replies were neat and elegant. When a tough reporter tried to embarrass him, he hedged the question with dexterity. Savannah looked at Chris with admiration. It was really not easy to be a big star. Besides good appearance, skillful acting, his EQ needed to be high enough to deal with the dia.
"The role of Angelina was regarded with great favor online, and the audience doesn't want Angelina to leave the screen so soon. They even want the hero to be with Angelina. You had such good cooperation for the first ti. Would you bring Angelina back in the next season of Fashion Queen?" A reporter asked.
"Angelina will not be back."A man's cool voice ca with certainty before Chris could answer.
People present looked back towards the voice in amazent.
A tall, elegantly dressed, attractive man walked in as the crowd fell apart voluntarily.
"Mr. Sterling is here today!" The group of reporters imdiately went around about Dylan.
"I'm just passing by," Dylan said simply, his eyes drifting around the banquet hall and falling on Savannah. Then he stared at her arm held by Chris.
Savannah did not expect him to co. Shocked by his sudden arrival, she held on to Chris' arm with a tenacious grip, shrinking back to him in spite of herself, only to see Dylan's eyes beco darker.
Though Zagreb Film was owned by the Sterling group, Mr. Sterling, the big boss, had never been a celebration party like this.
How could those reporters miss such a chance to get so fresh topics?
"Mr. Sterling, what did you an by saying Angelina will not be back?" A reporter turned to Dylan and asked.
"This role is loved and welcod by the audience, and it made Miss Schultz popular overnight. Why not get her back in the next season?" Another reporter asked eagerly.
"It's better for a good character to be kept in the audience's mory only. It's a good end for Angelina. What's more," after a pause, he continued, "It's only a temporary decision to let Miss Schultztake Sandy's place to play the part of Angelina. Fashion Queen is her first play and will be her last. She will not act again."
"Why?!"His words brought on a storm among the reporters.
"So dia friends should have known that Miss Schultz is a designer of Zagreb Film. She has talent in fashion design, and she has just been promoted to the chief designer of the design departnt. We cannot run after two horses at the sa ti. So, Miss Schultz will not join showbiz."
"So that's it…" The reporters sighed in sudden realization.
Savannah didn't expect the man to decide her career in public.
Although she had no interest in acting, and she had decided to put on the focus of her work on fashion design, she did not like her work or life to be mastered by him so rudely.
She knew why he said that. He still took her as one of his belongings and didn't want her to touch showbiz, the incredibly complicated world.
