Chapter 205 It’s Good to Be Alive
Her voice was audible in every corner of the venue. Sion seemed to awaken from a dream of great loss, and he could not help but breathe heavily, staring straight at the woman who was talking.
It was the fact that he had seen it a thousand times in his dreams. At this moment, she was standing, vivid and bright in front of him, but she no longer had him in her eyes.
Morgan felt worried about her dad since she found Sion was in a daze. So she turned her head and pulled David’s sleeve as if she was asking him if he could help Sion.
But David shook his head with a bitter face, not knowing what to do. He couldn’t go and bring Aurora to Sion in plain sight anyway. However, Sion was ready to do that. When everyone was not paying attention, Sion took a few quick steps forward. People standing in front of the stage were startled by his motion.
“Mr… Mr Carroll?”
“Mr Carroll, can I help you?” The host stopped him and asked in a panic. But the host somehow knew Sion was coming straight to Queen.
Sion coldly swept them a glance, saying no word, and he directly sidestepped and went straight to Aurora on stage. He attracted a lot of attention. Albie also came closer and saw that the man was almost in front of Aurora.
Aurora frowned and glanced coldly at Sion, wondering if he was going to give her trouble on the spot. She immediately gave a wink to the bodyguard next to her, who went forward to block Sion’s way the next second. Sion had not noticed the guard until he was right in front of him.
“Mr Carroll, Miss Queen still has something to say, please do not disturb.”
The guard was expressionless, showing no fear of the legendary president of the Carroll Group.
She concealed her identity and was no longer the Aurora she once was, and there was no trace of him in her eyes. Sion was so frustrated about that. And in a blink, everything was tangible on his face.
Seeing that he did not do anything else, the guard did not make it difficult.
When the venue quieted down again, Aurora noticed Albie, who appeared to be surprised and worried. Aurora understood that at first glance.
Her eyes softened, and she looked at Albie and curled her mouth very gently as if she was telling him that she was back now.
Albie understood her meaning. At this time, he put aside his doubts for the time being and made no sudden moves.
Aurora then looked at the crowd waiting for her to speak and said quietly, “The Crescent Group is hosting this party today, and it’s a great honour to have you all here, and on behalf of the Crescent Group, I would like to welcome you all sincerely.”
“We should be the ones to welcome you back to the country.”
“Yes, there are not many technical talents like you in our country nowadays!”
The compliments came one after another, and Aurora responded with a light smile, but there were some gossipy whispers mixed in with them.
“It seems Miss Queen, today is to Crescent Group representative identity to attend. I think she and the boss of the Crescent Group, their relationship must not be an ordinary one.”
In Sion’s eyes, Aurora’s words were directed at himself. He used to spend time with her. There were a lot of feelings tangled and past grudges, flashing before his eyes like a movie. Now he realized that the party today had been planned for a long time.NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
There might be numerous emotions inside her for him, except affection, Sion thought.
“I just said, I have a surprise to give everyone.” Said Aurora ironically. Her voice seemed to carry a compelling force that could touch everyone’s heart.
“When I was abroad before, I once designed a set of works named ‘Castle in the Sky’ and was fortunate enough to win several awards.”
“And this time, I intend to continue the concept of ‘Castle in the Sky’ and continue to design a series of pieces to launch an independent brand.”
Aurora looked at the crowd below and she ignored Sion with her rigid eyes.
After a pause, she continued, “My purpose today is to select a company among you that is suitable in all aspects to cooperate and win together. Please feel free to share if you have any ideas. I look forward to working with you all.”
After the words, she raised the wine glass in her hand to toast everyone and drank it all.
All of a sudden, people started to discuss enthusiastically.
Seeing that Queen had already finished her wine, everyone raised their glasses to show that they were honoured to hear this invitation to work together.
Aurora didn’t say more. As soon as she put down her glass, she was immediately surrounded by people chatting.
“Oh my God, Queen threw out an olive branch like that, everyone must be crowding to her?”
“Yeah… But what does that mean?”
According to the normal process in the past, the company would either take the form of bidding or have already decided the object of their cooperation in such large cooperation. It was rare to see it happen in this way.
But it was a good idea to give it a try anyway.
“What else do you guys have to think about? If we can work with her, the company will take a big step up, not to mention that she was from the Crescent Group!”
Seeing that some were still confused with the situation, two bosses who were a little bit up to date with the trend started to make the science.
“That’s true. Do you know the largest fashion group in Country M? They sought cooperation with Queen for 60% of the profit income as a condition to ask her to be the chief designer. But Queen refused them!”
“In that case, Queen enjoys a lot of international prestige, doesn’t she?”
“That’s for sure, to be serious, she is a talent. There are so many companies that want someone with her skills. Luckily Miss Queen doesn’t forget her roots and she now returns to her homeland.”
Sion stood motionless in place but he couldn’t hear what Aurora was saying next, with barely concealed shocking waves in his heart.
He had also asked David to investigate Queen’s information, but she was a mysterious identity. The public announced very little information, and he only knew that she was famous around the globe.
Was she his Aurora?
Sion was in a bit of a trance, staring at her in a daze, “Aurora…”
The person on stage had long chestnut-coloured hair slightly curly, which was casually draped over the shoulders, coupled with a red dress, more impressive and more charming than ever before. She was standing there, like a hill of solitude, while there was still an indistinct sense of innocence on her face, which somewhat contradicted the melancholy descending on others at the sight of her. With those complicated auras, she was like a condescending cat on stage.
Moreover, the way she had shown up before everyone did strike people attended as a very honourable and privileged lady.
It was good that she was alive, for Sion, although now she was so strange for him.
