Chapter 505: Chapter 505



.

The last twelve models took turns to stand on the catwalk and showed “their” beauties one by one. The models walked slowly as the light followed them, the lyrical music of Chinese zither played at that time, the male presenter narrated with deep affection and resonant voice.

I still liked you so much, like the continuous musical sound, which traveled a long distance.

I still liked you so much, as if the water flowing from the top of the mountain, it was hard to find the confidant.

I still liked you so much, as if the sound of the burning zither, which was powerful.

I still liked you so much, as if the moving chess, which was killed and supported.

I still liked you so much, as if fighting on a battlefield, which had caused the smoke of gunpowder everywhere.

I still liked you so much, as if the scattered blacks and whites, which carried all their meanings.

I still liked you so much, as if the attractive smell of the book, which was kept in my heart.

I still liked you so much, as if the book in my hand, which showed the great tenderness between lovers.

I still liked you so much, as if the absorption of knowledge, which was hard to stop.

I still liked you so much, as if the bouquet of liquor in the deep alley, which stretched across a long distance.

I still liked you so much, as if it was the aged wine, that made people drunk.

I still liked you so much, as if the daughter’s bouquet of wine, which broke the heart when drinking.

The host’s narration with perfect voice and deep affection, and the visual feast had brought the exhibition to climax. The most inexplicable love in the world, still made people long for it.

The host was narrating with affection, but it seemed more like one lover expressing love to the other.

It seemed that the latter point had introduced everyone to the main idea of this exhibition, in a special way.

The main theme this time was the Chinese wedding dress. A wedding meant the combination of two people, a man and a woman, who loved each other and became husband and wife, after all it was related to love.

It exactly matched these twelve “I still like you so much” in the narrative.

It made people feel that they could only show their love by wearing this kind of wedding dress for their loved ones when they got married.

The exhibition was so splendid that it made everyone applaud.

Just when everyone wanted to meet with the organizer and people who were interested in collaborating were waiting for the organizer, the voice of the male presenter was heard speaking loudly again, “Please welcome the founder of ‘Cloud’, Renee Gordon.”

The light fell in the background, followed by a person walking slowly. Theresa Gordon was wearing the same cheongsam as on the invitation card, with the same hairstyle and makeup as well, the only difference was that the real person was much more beautiful.

Armand Bernie, who was sitting in a corner, looked at Theresa’s face, it seemed to him that he had met her before, but was completely unfamiliar with her, it was a strange feeling.

He pursed his lips and looked at Theresa who was under the spotlight, he tried to find some clue on her face that might show he had met her before.

However, he couldn’t find any, he really hadn’t met her before. He had first seen her on the invitation card, this was the first time he had met her in person, so he did not know Theresa.

Theresa took the microphone handed to her by the presenter on stage, she looked calm and relaxed as she faced the flickering spotlights from the audience seating, then bowed, “Thank you all for coming today, and thank you to all the event teams, thank you!”

She stood gracefully on stage, held the microphone and looked at everyone, “I am not the founder of ‘Cloud’, the founder is unable to attend due to some personal reasons. If you have any questions, you can ask me and I will answer them one by one.”

“May I know why the founder names her as ‘Cloud’?” a reporter initially asked.

Theresa replied loosely, “I think of all the people here today, there are a lot of fashion professionals, I think you guys must have heard of watered silk before, right?”

Someone exclaimed, “Is it watered silk that has disappeared from people’s view for over twenty years?”

Theresa smiled, “Yes.” She then explained, “The twelve Chinese wedding dresses this time were all made with the combination of watered silk and handmade embroidery by eleven masters, who had spent two months to complete them. Although the process was long and laborious, I think everyone has seen the results.”

“May I know if the prices of these wedding dresses will be too high?” there was someone who showed an eagerness to buy, no matter the designs or the meanings, both were typical.

“I’m sorry, but these will not be sold, regardless of the money, they are for display only. If you are thinking of collaborating with us, I will introduce you all to the responsible party later.” Theresa smiled, “I will now give ten minutes time for everyone to see them up close, but please do not touch them, thank you for your cooperation.”

This was because it would be very difficult to restore the embroideries if they were accidentally snagged.

Everyone flocked there, only the three men in the corner were left who did not move, Armand Bernie and Boyce Shawn looked at Matthew Nelson.

They knew the relationship between the watered silk and Victoria Forbis who had passed away, she may not have been related to Matthew in the past, but now she was.

“Is it Dolores?” asked Boyce, if not, who else could have done this?

Matthew was just calmly looking at those beautiful dresses on the stage, he didn’t express too much on his face. However, there were traces of deep places in the corners of his eyes if you looked closely, indeed he was not as calm as he showed.

After Dolores left him, he had been hiding somewhere in secret to make up for the death of Victoria Forbis, but he had never considered whether or not he would be upset at the loss of the one he loved.

Matthew clenched his jaw, forming an indentation in the muscle from the excessive force, he could tell he was enduring so much to keep his surface calm.

There were twelve models standing by the stage catwalk for people to see.

The workmanship and materials used were flawless, there was someone who exclaimed, “This exhibition is the most shocking to me, its luxury and the founder’s special display have made me unable to calm down for a long time.”

Theresa smiled at this kind of feedback, the two months of hard work had paid off. She thought that, from now on, watered silk would be back in the public eye, so Dolores had achieved her goals, the ‘cloud’ brand would then stand out.

Ten minutes later, the models had left the stage, but everyone was still not done enjoying themselves.

“Thank you for your support, please negotiate with Mr. Adams if you are interested in collaborating.”

Oscar Adams rarely wore the suit, but not the flashy clothes, he walked to the front of the stage, “If you are interested, leave your contact details here.”

He didn’t have time to go into details as there were too many people now, he could only talk about them another day.

Theresa left the stage after introducing Oscar Adams, she went to the back and said to the event teams, “Please be careful, don’t just hang the dresses after taking them off the models, you must put them back on the custom made hangers we used when the dresses were sent here.”

These dresses were for display only, they were to be returned. To avoid any damage, they had customized the hangers that were suitable for these garments when they brought them here.

Mrs. William came walking in, Theresa immediately greeted, “Mrs. William.”

She smiled, Dolores had not told her before what this exhibit was like, today she had seen it and gave a relieved smile, “I really don’t misjudge her, she surprised me, but unfortunately she is not here to see the admiration of everyone’s eyes. When I noticed her during that time, I knew she would definitely succeed.”

Theresa smiled back, “I’d like to thank you on Lola’s behalf.”

“No need, please tell her I’m glad. Although she is no longer with LEO Corporation and has started her own brand, my heart for her will never change, I hope it will be better in the future.” Mrs. William was already old, but her only son was not interested in this industry, so it was not yet known whether the LEO Corporation could continue to survive after her death.

If she was not a person who appreciated people’s talent, she would not have given Dolores, who had just graduated with no experience or training during that time, a chance.

He had initially thought of handing over the LEO Corporation to Dolores after his passing, but Dolores already had her own business at present, so he could only wish for her.

She could understand that everyone had their own stories, the LEO Corporation was set up by her lover and her, so it should disappear after she was gone, thinking this way had made her no longer have regrets.

Then they talked for a while and Theresa sent Mrs. William to the car, watching her drive away. Theresa then went back backstage and sat down in a chair in the hallway, she then pulled out her phone and was going to call Dolores to tell her the situation at the site. When she barely meant to press the green button after finding her phone number, a deep voice was heard from behind her back.

“Where is she?”

Theresa turned, a lone silhouette was standing by a door at the end of the hallway. When he turned his head, then only Theresa could see his face clearly, he turned off the phone screen in his hand and stood with his hand on the wall for support, keeping his cool.

“I don’t understand what you’re saying.”

She tugged at the band around her neck, the wind blew inside her, but it couldn’t cool her boiling heart. He breathed hard, his lungs were like broken wind boxes, they could explode at any moment, “I will ask you about this question because I know your identity, don’t forget that I had helped you to go abroad for treatment during that time.”
