Chapter 375: Chapter 375

Two weeks away from Ada Kingsley’s wedding, Alyssa was busy updating the proposal from Ada’s comments.

She also had to oversee the on-site decorations and review crucial documents concerning materials, costs, and manpower. On her worst day, she managed to grab only three hours of sleep.

Still, she enjoyed the hustle. As long as there was something in it for her, she would feel invigorated by the frenzy.

After joining the team meeting in the morning, Alyssa returned to her office, where she munched on her sandwich and approved documents.

Sean knocked on the door to deliver coffee and shook his head at her tired and adorable look. “Eating while working is bad for your health.”

“I don’t have time! I have another fashion event to attend later this afternoon,” Alyssa replied, taking a hearty bite of her sandwich without once looking up from the documents.

“Why is your schedule so packed today? I was about to book a spa for your relaxation during your free time.” Sean felt sorry for her.

“Save that for after the wedding. I’m swamped with work. There’s no time for relaxation,” she said, lifting her coffee cup and meeting Sean’s eyes. “Any updates from Betty and Sophia’s end?”

“I have been keeping an eye on them, but they did not make any move.” Thinking hard, he wondered,”

We’ve been making lots of preparations today. Could they have given up because they couldn’t figure out a better plan?”

Meanwhile, Alyssa replayed Jasper’s words in her head and sneered. “I think we shouldn’t let our guard down. This is a rare opportunity for Betty, and she’d want to prove herself to Javier. She’s not going to give up.”

Just then, there was another knock on the door, and Avery entered with an elegantly wrapped white gift box in hand. “Ms. Alyssa, these are the desserts I brought from the kitchen. I had them wrapped as per your request.”

“Thank you. Place them on the coffee table,” Alyssa replied.

After Avery left, Sean went up and unboxed the pastries. The cute little choux pastries reminded him of Alyssa’s focused look when she was baking, which brought a smile to his lips.

“Sean, get ready. We’re leaving soon.”

Jasper returned to his office in the afternoon after a meeting.

“Mr. Beckett, the host of the jewelry show sent you an invitation a week ago. Ada Kingsley will be there today as well. Should we-” Xavier reminded Jasper, only to be cut off.

Jasper dismissed him without hesitation, stating, “I’m not going.”

“Uh, are you sure?” Xavier blinked. We’ve already been embarrassed once when Ada Kingsley chose KS over us. People will speculate if we’re absent from the event. Journalists will have a field day, twisting the story to make us look petty for snubbing it just because KS World won Ada Kingsley’s project.”

“Betty will be there. She’s in charge of Ada Kingsley’s project, after all,” Jasper was unmoved and scoffed. “Like attracts like. Betty’s always jumped at the chance to attend extravagant events like that.”

“Ahem. But I’ve just received word that Madam has arrived at the venue.”

Jasper’s eyes sparkled. He ordered, “Get me a change of clothes and get the car ready.”

Xavier grinned at Jasper’s swift change of mind when it involved Alyssa.

AX, the luxurious jewelry brand, hosted its show at the Solana International Convention Center this year. Many renowned designers and A-list celebrities were in attendance, turning it into something like an awards ceremony.

Ada Kingsley’s attendance attracted the most attention, as she was the most popular star at the event and AX’s brand ambassador in Mosgravia.

Betty and Zoe received the coveted invitations to the event due to their social status. When they stepped onto the red carpet, they were reluctant to leave and kept posing for the cameras. Even the reporters and photographers were irritated at the duo.

They would have settled down on the red carpet had the emcee not ushered them along. Someone whispered, “What the fuck? How embarrassing of them to loiter on the red carpet!”
