Chapter 2473
The total length was about 984 feet, and the artistic decorations on both sides portrayed a sense of statutory declaration.
Currently, journalists from all over the world were present as they readied their equipment. They already had their cameras on standby, ready to take the best pictures to hit their target for the month. After all, the celebrities who could walk this red carpet this evening stood for their identity and status in the film and television industry. Since the red carpet event also acted as a large-scale fashion show, whereby fashion designers from around the world would gather and showcase their masterpieces, those who could walk the red carpet were undoubtedly the top international celebrities. So, it wouldn’t be an understatement to claim that these individuals were the best celebrities available from various countries.
Catalina only had the chance to walk the red carpet this evening because her mother had received two invitations. Hence, she could afford to take Reuben with her. Moreover, she was inclined to turn him into a top celebrity.
The bodyguards were also very busy today. Moreover, they had to prevent random, uninvited celebrities from trespassing and piggybacking on the significance of the red carpet. Still, several celebrities tried their luck to walk a few steps on the red carpet. It didn’t even matter if they got kicked out as the photos they uploaded to their social media accounts to keep their fans in their home country posted would still cause a massive stir.
Ezekiel’s convoy suddenly rolled to a stop. The road was so packed with cars that their group couldn’t get through. So, his car was sandwiched between them.
“What’s going on?” Ezekiel frowned.
“Mr. Weiss, we’re stuck in traffic congestion,” Miles immediately reported.
Ezekiel glanced through the car window upon hearing that. Then, he glanced at his watch and saw that it was already 2.50PM.
“How much longer?” Ezekiel asked, growing impatient.
“It’s unclear at the moment. Mr. Weiss, please be patient.”
Just then, he discovered through the car window that a lot of people who were stuck in the traffic got out of their cars and walked. Therefore, he couldn’t help but frown, asking, “Why are these people getting out of their cars and walking?”
“The venue of the Fashion Week isn’t far from here. It’s only 0.62 miles away. They probably plan to walk there,” Miles explained lightly.
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the sound of the car door being pushed open behind him. When he turned around and saw what happened, he couldn’t help but jump in his seat, yelling, “Mr. Weiss! Mr. Weiss!”
He immediately followed suit, exited the car, and saw Ezekiel sauntering down the sidewalk.
The bodyguards, who were in the car behind them, instantly got out as well. Four followed Ezekiel while Miles quickly kept up.
Ezekiel followed the crowd and walked toward the Fashion Week’s venue. At this moment, by the fountain 164 feet away from the red carpet, Harmony looked at the time and asked Sera, “He will come, right?”
“Don’t worry! I believe he will be here.”
Harmony observed the large crowd that was approaching the venue. Among them were fans, journalists, celebrities, and several managing teams. The grand yet regal scene had turned into a
completely chaotic mess.
Even though the event management had done their best in terms of crowd control, and the spot they currently stood was only strictly for those with a work pass, it was still overcrowded. With celebrities and staff from all over the world taking up a great deal of space, those relatively famous celebrities in Dansbury were merely passers-by here.
As Harmony wore an oversized trench coat with nothing but an evening dress underneath, she couldn’t help but shiver as soon as the chilly breeze brushed against her skin. Honestly, she was fairly certain that she looked rather disheveled at the moment.
To make matters worse, she had stumbled upon Catalina and Reuben, who had just exited the car and passed by, instead of Ezekiel.
Catalina wore the latest haute couture red dress with some delicate makeup, exuding an extraordinarily noble vibe. She was holding Reuben’s arm, who also wore a haute couture suit, and walked up to Harmony proudly like a peacock.
“What a coincidence! I can’t believe I would bump into you here. See that red carpet? / will walk on it gracefully while holding Reuben’s arm soon enough. As for an unimportant celebrity like you… Well, you can’t do anything besides watch us walk the red carpet with envy,” Catalina said, attempting to provoke Harmony.
“Don’t get carried away, Catalina. Harmony still has plenty of room for development. She will walk this red carpet as well,” Sera retorted. Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.
“Ha! You can’t even get your hands on good movie roles now. Yet, you’re still dreaming about your future prospects? Sera, do you honestly think I don’t know your real status in this industry? You’re nothing but someone who used to be my Mom’s subordinate,” Catalina refuted mercilessly.
An enraged Harmony said, “Catalina, please learn to respect others.”
“Listen here, Harmony. Anyone who dares to rob me of my endorsement deals always suffers a miserable ending. You are not the exception to that rule. Do expect to get spurned once you return to Dansbury!”
“Harmony, aren’t you the best at claiming ties with the big shots? So, where is this big shot of yours?” Reuben asked as a flicker of disdain flashed in his eyes.
Harmony bit her rosy lips and looked at the man she once loved. At this moment, his words had somehow morphed into imaginary blades that were stabbing her all over. How the hell did I even fall for this man?! I really was blind back then!
