Eagerly awaiting Alexander’s arrival, Mr. and Mrs. Murphy walked towards Alexander with beaming smiles.
Gia was wearing a mask, a red off–shoulder gown, crystal high heels, and jewelry of her own design. She was dressed elegantly and charmingly as she walked behind her parents unhurriedly.
"Welco, Mr. Moran", Isaac greeted.
Isaac walked down the steps and reached out to shake Alexander’s hand, but Alexander did not move. He only said indifferently, "Congratulations on opening."
Isaac awkwardly retracted his hand. "This is my wife, and this is my daughter, Gia"
Gia stepped forward. She took off her mask with one hand and reached out with the other. "Hello, Mr. Moran. I’m the founder and design director of Yaen Jewelry Design Studio, Gia–Murphy. My English na is Yaen. It’s my pleasure to et you "
The mont she took off her mask, everyone was stunned. "How beautiful!"
However, before Gia had fully removed her mask, she tripped over a step she hadn’t seen while trying to take it off as she walked. Her balance faltered, and she began to fall forward.
The crowd gasped, holding their breath in concern.
Fortunately, Alexander was standing in front of her. The two of them were only about a few feet apart.
However, to everyone’s surprise, Alexander quickly sidestepped, leaving Gia to fall.
Fortunately, Louis was standing right behind Alexander.
Unexpectedly, Louis subconsciously took a step back to avoid being hit by Gia’s head.
Gia’s hands flailed in the air for a couple of seconds, grabbing at nothing, before she fell to the ground, her face contorted in pam.
Louis adjusted his glasses "Miss Murphy might have sprained her leg. Hurry up and send her to the hospital for a checkup"
Without waiting for anyone to speak, Gia struggled to get up. "There’s no need. I didn’t sprain my ankle. It’s rare for Mr. Moran to co all the way to Rosemont City to support , so I must make sure to entertain him properly and show my gratitude for his kindness."
These words had a deeper aning.
A bunch of reporters imdiately asked, "Mr. Moran, Yaen was the international beauty pageant champion last year and the best newcor in the jewelry design industry of the year," "What do you think of Miss Yaen’s talent in jewelry design Did your special appearance at Miss Gia’s studio opening ceremony an that you’re optimistic about the studio prospects?" "I heard that Miss Gia is preparing to cooperate with the gem mining company under the Moran Group"
Alexander interrupted the reporter and said calmly. "I was invited by Mr. Murphy to attend the opening ceremony of the Murphy family’s design studio. I didn’t know that this was Miss Murphy’s jewelry design studio. I didn’t know Miss Murphy before today, and I’ve never heard of any collaboration between the Moran Group and Miss Murphy. Of course, Moran Group is a big company. I have a lot of things to do, so I won’t interfere with the small projects,"
Soone else wanted to ask questions, but Alexander said forcefully. "Today is the opening of the Murphy family’s studios, not mine. Please don’t let steal the lilight. Also, I promised Mr. Murphy that I would attend for 10 minutes. There are only 5 minutes left."
Hearing this, everyone was speechless.
Mr. Moran was really as the legends said. He did not show any rcy.
It was obvious from his reaction that he was not after Gia at all. In fact, he had no interest in Gia whatsoever.
Seeing this. Isaac had to drop the topic about his daughter and walked over, saying, "Mr. Moran, please, have a seat over here"
Alexander followed him and looked around undifferently.
At this mont, Maria was standing behind the VIP seats with a DV cara in her hand.
Looking up, she imdiately locked eyes with Alexander.
When Maria saw Mr. Moran, who had treated her entire family to a al last ti, she subconsciously smiled and waved at him.
Alexander nodded at her politely as a form of greeting.
This might seem like a trivial action, but with so many eyes on Alexander, people quickly noticed the interaction between him and Maria. Gia, who observed the detail.
Gia tried her best to maintain an elegant smile, but her cold gaze was sizing up Maria’s face.
She thought to herself, "What could this plain–looking intern possibly an to Alexander? He didn’t even offer to help when I fell right in front of him."
However, now was not the ti for such thoughts.
She suppressed her anger and jealousy and stepped up to the microphone to give her speech: "Distinguished guests, dia friends, I’m Yaen, a newly debuting jewelry designer. Thank you for attending the opening ceremony of my studio. I’m especially grateful to Mr. Alexander Moran for taking the ti out of his busy schedule to attend this ceremony. I’m deeply honored."
Regardless of what Alexander might think, Gia was determined to seize this opportunity to associate her na with his in everyone’s minds and to leave a lasting impression on him,
Almost everyone was looking at her.
After all, she was very beautiful and was the owner of the studio. This was the first ti she had appeared in public, so everyone showed respect.
As for Mr. Moran, his gaze was cold, and he exuded an aura of keep your distance. The onlookers dared not look at him. for too long.
After Gia finished her speech, she looked at Alexander Moran. "Mr. Moran, please join in cutting the ribbon"
Under everyone’s gaze, Alexander stood up and walked over.
Gia felt a secret thrill. Despite his aversion to such events, Alexander was well–mannered, and she was confident he would still give her so courtesy.
Unexpectedly, Alexander walked up to Isaac and said indifferently "10 minutes are up. I should go." Then, he walked past the Murphy family
Gia and the others were dumbfounded. He–be just walked away like that?
What was Alexander’s purpose in coming here then?
He did not even shake hands or cut the ribbons. He ignored the Murphy family and left after sitting for a few minutes. It felt like he was completing a mission.
So influencers surrounded Alexander, wanting to get close to him and gain attention. However, Louis stood in front of them and warned, "Mr. Moran has sothing to do. Please don’t disturb Mr. Moran. Otherwise, you might find yourself losing all your brand deals in the future."
When the influencers heard this, their expressions changed slightly. They obediently dispersed and did not dare to say another word.
Isaac knew that he had ssed up and quickly chased after Alexander. "Mr. Moran, wait a mont. I want to explain what happened today to you.? "
"There’s no need to explain." Alexander stared at him coldly. "If you dare to say another word. I’ll imdiately get soone to buy that piece of land in the east of the city"
Isaac imdiately shut up.
After Alexander got into the car, everyone whispered amongst themselves, "I thought Mr. Moran might be related to the daughter that the Murphy family just acknowledged. It turns out he doesn’t know her at all; she was just being self- important." "Did you all see! Mr. Moran didn’t even glance at Yaen. It was Yaen who felt so self–important, pretending to trip and fall to his attention, and ended up falling on the ground. It was really embarrassing." "I wouldn’t have co if I knew this w... happen." "They hinted to that Gia had a special relationship with Mr. Moran, so I ended up ordering two pieces of jewelry here. I regret it so much now..."
When Gia heard these discussions, she pursed her lips in embarrassnt and wished she could escape imdiately.
However, she still controlled her emotions and forced herself to finish cutting the ribbon. Then, she invited everyone upstairs to visit her studio.
However, by this ti, half of the guests and dia had already left
The people who stayed behind were all friends or collaborators with Gia. However, they were no longer as enthusiastic as before. They put on an attitude of business is business’ and chatted with the studio employees from ti to ti.
Seeing the cold reception and the lack of interest in the scene. Gia was no longer in the mood to entertain guests and just wanted to vent her frustration.
She suddenly thought of sothing. "Where’s the intern in charge of filming with the DV camcorder? Call her over. I have sothing to ask her," Gia said.
