Chapter 2045
Kim Mi-chi's sudden appearance was like a basin of cold water, which instantly made the surrounding atmosphere freeze. In an instant, Carolien also came back to her senses. The unsettled feeling from meeting Elijah disappeared without a trace. Before everyone noticed it, she had quickly returned to her cold state. She recalled what she learnt from their teacher.
"Silence is golden. At any time, if there was a choice between speaking or remaining silent, always choose the latter."
Silence also meant mystery, which was important for public figures like them. They could only survive in this industry for a long time if they removed their tempers and cultivated patience.
Glancing at the familiar yet strange face in front of her, Carolien's mind gradually calmed down. It had been a year since she last saw him. He became even colder. Even his face seemed harsher, with sharp lines that seemed threatening.
One glance and they seemed to have parted lifetimes ago.
She regained her calm because because of Kim Mi-chi's interruption. She looked away, and turned cold again.
While the atmosphere was in a standstill, with a burst of conversation, a group of people came over and said, "Wow, Miss Hot, Miss Ice, you are so pretty..."
"The song and dance is really good too..."
First, there was a murmur. Then, a man in a suit glared at him as a warning. Then, he passed them a business card with a smile.
"I've heard a lot about you two. My name is Clark, the vice president of Hogworth Group. POPO and Lauder are our flagship brands. I'm glad to watch your performance just now. I feel that your temperament is very compatible with the new products that our company is about to produce. I was wondering if you would consider a cooperation with us?"
During the conversation, he handed over two business cards in a very gentlemanly manner, but he looked at Carolien more, who was one step behind Lauren. Anyone who knew about this group knew that Lauren's background was not ordinary and could not be provoked. On the contrary, Miss Hot, her partner, seemed to come out of nowhere. There was very little information about her. Rumor had it that she was an orphan who relied on her godfather to enter this industry. Of course, not many people believed it. On the contrary, they thought that it was Lauren's wealth that made them famous overnight. Of course, they were talented enough so they could only accept such reality. They could only feel jealous. Therefore, many times, people thought to entice the person who was in a weaker position, which was Miss Hot since Lauren was backed by her identity and ice-cold concept.
Both of them received a business card, but they just nodded. Their eyes met and before Carolien did anything, Lauren said,
"Mr. Clark, thank you for acknowledging our efforts! But strictly speaking, we work for others. You can contact our managers if there is anything we can help with..."noveldrama
The implication was that they couldn't make the decision!
Although everyone knew that she was the one who selected the jobs, her words were sincere so made sure that it was not an outright rejection. After they shook hands, the man chuckled and they had a good chat.
They nodded to Willy, Elijah and Trevor as greetings. When they parted ways, two people who followed the man, perhaps an assistant or fan, stayed behind. They started speaking to Lauren and Carolien.
"Miss Hot and Miss Ice, you were a match made in heaven. I don't know what to say other than it was perfect! A beautiful dance and a beautiful voice, it was really moving!"
"I didn't follow after celebrities before this. I really hope to have a collaboration with you!"
"Yes, so much better than that Korean dance group. I don't know what the event planner is thinking! To put it bluntly, it was bad enough to destroy their careers. really killed all of them. It was such an anti-climatic performance. I guess others appreciate foreign people more, but we really think highly of you!"
"Please consider our proposal carefully, okay?"
"I hope you can give us your autographs if there is a chance!"
The two of them spoke quietly yet rapidly, as though they were in a hurry. As soon as they finished speaking, they left before Lauren and Carolien reacted.
Looking at each other, laughter flashed through Lauren's and Carolien's eyes. They glanced at the other side. Sure enough, Kim Mi-chi's expression turned ugly.
Was there something wrong with their eyes? Did they not recognize her after she changed her clothes? They talked bad about her right in front of her! However, that felt good!
She knew that she shouldn't have such thoughts, but Carolien's mood improved and she was very happy. Then, she caught sight of two figures. She unconsciously shouted,
"Uncle Theo? Godfather?"
Then, she tugged Lauren's wrist and glanced at the rest. She said politely, "I'm sorry. Please excuse me when I meet some acquaintances!"
Having met Theo, she knew that he was very considerate of Carolien. Lauren nodded to her and said, "You can do whatever you want! I won't wait for you!"
She glanced at Willy. Lauren meant that they could move freely since they were done!
"Okay!"
While they were talking, Carolien waved her hand and ran to the side.
Elijah'ss brows furrowed slightly. At this moment, Trevor, who was still looking, suddenly spoke: "Godfather?"
Wasn't that Ralph Moore from Walmington City?
Or was his vision blurred?
Not many "godfathers" in this circle were clean and normal!
In fact, this was also the reason why Elijah frowned just now. He had seen Theo but who was this old man? Moreover, he was well aware of his shady business. But because of their relationship and Kim Mi-chi's presence, it was not convenient for him to ask more.
Noticing the doubt in his tone, Lauren explained,
"I heard from Hot that they knew each other in a nightclub, right? He was enthusiastic and helped her lot. It was probably fate. When Hot wanted to enter the entertainment circle, he was unsure about what to invest in so he decided to help her out. He said that he has a family so he was afraid of being misunderstood, so she became his goddaughter. At first, I thought that he wanted more than that, but then I realized that he is not bad, and is as attentive as Mr. Collins! Hot always attracted older men but the strange thing was that these old men seemed sincere to her. I teased her privately not to just settle for an old man!"
After she finished her words, Lauren realized that there was an outsider. She was stunned and also caught the darkness that flashed in Kim Mi-chi's eyes. Her heart trembled. After a pause, she continued,
"I'm worrying about nothing. Hot looks fiery on the outside, but she has her
principles. She said that she is in love with someone, and it is someone who is smart!"
Why did she keep holding on to Elijah? Did she plan to marry him?
What do you think?
