Two days passed in the blink of an eye.
The coordinator in charge of the jewelry exhibition approached Isabel.
Amanda had just landed in Southboro from Westchester and promptly joined Isabel along with Carla.
Isabel spoke with the coordinator for some time and acquainted herself with the procedure of the exhibition and the parts in which she would be involved. After that, she went to get her makeup done and put on the jewelry they provided for her. With everything ready, she attended the exhibition.
It was only after she arrived at the exhibition that she realized the sheer scale of the exhibition. It was far larger than she had expected.
The venue was enormous and clad in brilliant lights, and all sorts of expensive pieces of jewelry were put on display everywhere.Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
The attendees were not limited to the Southboro locals; the wealthy from all over the world had also come to attend the premium event.
She was equally shocked when she found out that she was the only celebrity modeling at the exhibition.
It was a great surprise after what happened with Clarice since many businesses had made a point of steering away from her. Besides, even if the episode with Clarice did not happen, there were still many names in the industry who would easily deserve an invite over her, thus it was astounding that she could even be shortlisted at all.
Why did they decide to invite her specifically? Perhaps the owner of the company was a big fan of hers.
As surprised as she was, she made sure to keep her wits about her. She straightened her back and strode into the venue with a confident smile. She exuded fine elegance befitting the precious jewelry strapped around her neck while her smile was subtle and filled with charm.
She paced calmly across the venue, every step filled with gravity and grace.
As soon as she approached the stage, she drew the attention of everyone in the venue.
People began to murmur amongst themselves, "Who is she? What family is she from? How come | haven't seen her before?" Someone supplied, "I think she's Isabel Ross, a celebrity actress."
"She has such an impressive presence. | thought she was some rich lady from some noble house."
Isabel was unaware of these discussions. She was focused solely on representing the jewelry house as well as she could, considering they took a gamble on her and had given her such a big stage.
She subtly raised her chin upward to show off the necklace curtaining her collarbone.
She swung her arms gently as she walked, allowing the bracelets to dance with every step she took, the countless gemstones clad on its surface glittering under the ceiling lights.
It did not take long before the attendees began enquiring with the staff about the pieces she was wearing.
When she was just about to step onto the stage, she noticed two familiar figures. She halted briefly, her eyes turned cold and menacing.
Directly at the foot of the stage, less than three meters away from her was none other than Clarice. She was dressed with refined taste as usual, and next to her was Isabella who was clad in all sorts of expensive jewelry and diamonds. Both of them were seated on a high chair, and they looked at her with blatant hostility and concealed shock.
They must not be expecting Isabel, of all people, to model for the jewelry house.
Isabel threw them an indifferent look and promptly resumed her gait. Keeping her cool about her, she calmly stepped onto the stage. The way she ignored them only further upset Clarice and Isabella.
Isabella turned to Clarice, her face stark with disgust and disbelief. "Why is she here?"
Clarice snorted contemptuously, then she reached for her phone and texted her secretary.
She instructed her secretary to contact the jewelry house and find out why they had approached Isabel, of all people. This was to be further supplied with a veiled threat of whether they hoped to resume business in Southboro.
The jewelry house was an international brand with countless outlets spread across the world. With that said, Southboro was one of the premium markets, and no business would want to lose access to a market like Southboro.
Isabel was completely unaware that Clarice was already plotting against her. She walked onto the stage and began to conduct the exhibition according to the procedure the coordinator had briefed her on.
Meanwhile, the coordinator of the exhibition was standing backstage with a handsome young man dressed in a tailored suit with matching leather shoes.
It was at that point when the phone of the coordinator suddenly rang. He threw a glance at the man beside him. The man was staring at Isabel and barely acknowledged the coordinator.
The coordinator took two careful steps backward and proceeded to answer the call.
