Loredana’ expressions were a bit awkward as she said, “Thank you.”
Victoria bid her goodbye and then closed the window and turned to say to the driver, “Let’s go.”
Loredana stood on the roadside, looking at the leaving car with narrowed eyes. She was not very familiar with Victoria; she hadn’t met her more than a few times and hadn’t had much contact.
But she could feel that she was not a bad person.
She looked like there were many hidden things in her heart but she couldn’t talk about them.
That kind of constraint…
Loredana didn’t know how to describe it.
She thought that there must be some secret hidden in her heart.
She was lost in her thought, not knowing that a black car had just stopped not far from her.
The man who got out was wearing a custom-made suit, with smooth edges and no creases, which made him look rich and noble. The street was full of sunshine but the weather was no longer hot. The sunshine was not hot and dazzling on one’s eyes; it was just the right amount of light and cool.
His gaze fell on the exquisite and delicate body wrapped in the halo of light.
This was the first time that Cormac saw her in a dress – it was made of pink glossy silk, presenting her beautiful and sexy curves. The perfect cut was quite soft, and it changed the cut at the waist. Her slender waist was shown immediately. The dress’ hemline reached her ankles, and she randomly rolled up hair looked soft and enchanting, making her exude the woman’s unique charm all the time.
She turned around and followed the straight gaze at her. Tilting her head, she found the man who was standing next to the car.
She was about to greet him, but Cormac had already lifted his feet and walked in without any intention to talk to her.
Loredana seemed to understand why he would react in this way – he must have seen Victoria’s car just now.
After Victoria followed Loredana to the guest lounge, Armand called Cormac.
Without any hesitation, he rushed over, worrying that Victoria would make it difficult for her or do something that embarrassed her. Much to his surprise, he witnessed that they were smiling and chatting, seemingly quite familiar with each other.
He was surprised, as Loredana hadn’t come back to China for a long time. He wondered how they got to know each other.
And they got along quite well, too.
Seeing Cormac come in, Armand immediately walked over. “She’s just left.”
“I saw it.” Cormac curled up his lips, but he didn’t smile.
Armand shrugged. “They were talking in the room and we didn’t hear anything, so we don’t know what they’ve talked about. However, I’m quite certain that this is not the first time they meet.”
It was because they didn’t look unfamiliar with greeting each other.
“Have you taken her home so they got to know each other?” Armand didn’t think it was possible – upon
Cormac’s personality, he wouldn’t have taken Loredana home back then.
As long as he had made a decision, nobody could make him changed. The only exception was that he couldn’t reject to get married in the past, because it was appointed by his late mother.
He uttered a word coldly, “Never.”
Armand kept silent, realizing that there was something wrong with it. He couldn’t help wondering how
Loredana got in touch with Victoria.
When he was about to say something else, Boyce tugged him to stop. He reminded Armand in a low voice, “Haven’t you seen his mood was quite bad?”
Armand curled his lips and shut up.
Right then, a lot of people gradually arrived. Loredana went back to the hall but didn’t see Cormac. Then
Mrs. William took her to make an introduction to her friends, so Loredana temporarily had to concentrate on socialization.
“My outfits in the future will all rely on you.” The woman looked rich and elegant, in her fifties. She looked a bit chubby, in a black dress with a chiffon shawl on her shoulders, making her look noble.
Since she could afford the clothes designed by LEO Corporation, she must be someone either rich or powerful.
As the capital city of China, City B was a city full of rich and powerful people.
“Thank you for your trust, ma’am.” Loredana smiled at her.
“In the past, when I want to buy the clothes designed by LEO Corporation, I had to go overseas. Now it’s much better.” As the lady spoke, she looked over at Mrs. William. Then she said in a complaint tone, “You should have opened a branch in China long ago!”
Seemingly, she was quite curious why Mrs. William suddenly had made the decision to open the branch overseas, and the first country Mrs. William had chosen was China. She asked, “Why did you decide to open a branch abroad? And why did you choose China? Is there any reason behind?”
Mrs. William looked hesitant. Speaking of this matter, it had something to do with another matter a long time ago, which she didn’t want to share with others. Loredana hurriedly rescued her. “It was because of
I begged Mrs. William to open the branch because I was from China, so I convinced her to open it
here.”
“Oh, I see.” It was not a big deal, so the woman didn’t suspect if Loredana’ words were true or not.
“There would be a fashion show later, presenting LEO Corporation’s design, particularly for this opening ceremony. All are unique designs. If you love any of them, please grasp the chance to make an order,” Mrs. William continued to talk with the woman.
Right then some guests came in from the entrance again. It was Camilla with Maria. Since so many incidents had happened to the Herbert family, Camilla looked a bit depressed. However, she knew Mrs.
William quite well, so she had to attend this ceremony.
Maria walked in with her arm-in-arm. Since she was the only daughter from the Herbert family, she looked quite noble naturally – she wore a black dress with an inspiring design that revealed her back.
The two sides of the dress diverged, all the way extending to the waist and hip line. Her fair back was exposed, exuding an alluring temperament.
It must be because that she knew Loredana was here, so she dressed up to attend the ceremony.
Instead of being reckless as she used to be, she didn’t offend Loredana as soon as they encountered each other. This time, she stood quietly next to Camilla.
The lady who was talking to Mrs. William greeted Camilla. Since they always accompanied their husbands to attend different activities, they knew each other as well. Hence, it was natural for them to exchange some greetings when meeting each other.
They both got to know Mrs. William because of the dresses.
As the wives of a chairman of the board or a CEO, they should have a taste in dressing and makeup, so they had high requirements on their outfit. The tailored clothes met their requirements very well.
In that case, they didn’t need to worry about the embarrassing outfit clash.
Besides, they also could require the shop to make the coupling dresses that could match their husbands’ suits.
Since they were in public, although things that happened in the Herbert family had something to do with
Loredana, Camilla didn’t show it on her face. She greeted Loredana with a smile.
Loredana didn’t know her well. She knew Camilla just because of Sampson.
She just smiled back at Camilla instead of speaking.
In the corner, Beulah grabbed the mop tightly, glaring at Loredana fiercely. Her daughter was missing and she was suffered in jail. However, Loredana was enjoying the glory.
At this time, a man entered the hall. He was wearing a formal suit. He was no longer young but aged.
Although he was in a tailored suit, his slightly bent back could still be seen.
Seeing the man coming in, Beulah opened her mouth. She was about to call him, but thinking of his ruthlessness, she stopped.
“Hi, Lola.” He walked towards Loredana.
Loredana’ face gradually fell, wondering why he was here.
“Your store is open today. Of course, I must come here to support you.” His voice became lower because when he arrived, he had seen all the cars parked outside – it seemed a lot of celebrities in town had come here.
Seriously, he wasn’t qualified to support her.
“Thank you, but not necessarily. Please go home,” Loredana refused his kindness.
She didn’t want to look into the grudges in the past, but she would never forgive him.
Garrett didn’t leave or give in because of Loredana’ words. After experiencing the incident six years ago, he had seen the true colors of others.
The daughter he spoiled the most took the donation fund and ran away at the critical moment, leaving him in big trouble.
“Lola, I want to thank you.”
Loredana frowned. “For what?”
“After the incident six years ago happened, without Cormac’s help, you might not be able to see me again.”
Loredana was shocked.
It turned out that it was Cormac who helped him through the difficult time of the company six years ago.
“I also felt quite weird why he would help me. He said it was because of you.”
