The next day.
Early in the morning, Alberto and Dayanara set out from River Neighborhood towards Auton Building downtown.
Erick was concentrating on driving. In the back seat of the car, Alberto closed his eyes to rest. Dayanara was quite worried.
“Alberto, what did you do last night?” Dayanara suddenly asked.
Alberto slowly opened his eyes and smiled, “Can I take it as that you are caring about me?”
“Whatever.” Dayanara rolled her eyes at him.
“Say something useful. The Jewelry Fair has already begun, and the finished product I designed is still lost. Are we just going there with nothing? How should I explain to everyone?” Dayanara said somewhat afraid.
Alberto said, “Don’t worry. I’ve got everything ready last night.”
Dayanara asked doubtfully, “What did you do? Did you find World King?”
“Take a guess,” Alberto smiled.
Dayanara bit her lips lightly and pouted her cheeks. She did not want to talk to him anymore.
Soon, they arrived at Auton Plaza.
In the middle of the square stood a magnificent tall building.
Auton Building.
Today was the big day for Mcconnell jewelry Group to hold the Jewelry Fair. The Group had invited representatives of companies of all sizes. They were all engaged in the jewelry business of City Auton. Celebrities from both inside and outside the industry would also be here.
A team with a dozen jewelry experts, hundreds of wealthy and distinguished guests who loved jewelry, as well as many reporters would all participate in the fair.
Therefore, the downstairs of Auton Building was already filled with people. It was extremely crowded.
Luxury cars were parked one after another in front of the plaza. People couldn’t help but be attracted by rows of colorful supercars.
Alberto and Dayanara got out of the car and walked straight into the building before getting on the elevator.
In order to hold the Jewelry Fair, the Mcconnell Group had booked the business meeting hall on the 36th floor.
Not long after, they arrived at the exhibition hall.
The hall was spacious with luxurious decoration.
The floor was covered with a red carpet, and the western chandelier emitted a dazzling brilliance.
Transparent glass cabinets were laid out everywhere in an orderly manner.
Each glass cabinet contained jewelry of different shapes. These jewelries were made of gold, platinum, jade, agate, diamonds, and crystals.
There were pendants, necklaces, bracelets, rings—all kinds of styles, Chinese and Western. All of them represented the professionalism of the Mcconnell Group.
The entire exhibition hall was glittering with light. It was magnificent.
The people inside were all suitably attired with expensive clothes. They had money, along with power. There were also reporters with cameras taking pictures everywhere.
Dayanara’s eyes were filled with expectation. She longed to be the focus of a place like this.
World King was supposed to shine brightly in this exhibition. She had spent countless painstaking efforts on it.
Unfortunately…
Dayanara sighed slightly. She could only wish that Alberto was right, that World King could really be here today. It was as miraculous as a dream, but she had to believe it. Alberto was just an ordinary person after all, how could he be so capable?
“Well, isn’t this our Design Director, Director Dayanara?”
Suddenly, she heard a sharp and ear-piercing female voice.
Danielle slowly walked over in an expensive dress. She looked elegant, but her face was filled with mockery and harshness.
Dayanara’s look was ugly. Danielle was the last person she wanted to see.
“To be honest, I really don’t know why you still have the face to participate in this jewelry exhibition.” Danielle glanced at Alberto and Dayanara with disdain. She sneered, “You couldn’t manage to finish that piece of jewelry worth ten million yuan, and you’ve taken all the money of the project. Why are you here after all? I really can’t understand your shameless people.”
“Oh, that’s right. I forgot. You two—your poor people—have probably never seen such a grand scene before, right? So, you want to see the world?” Danielle sneered, “It’s a pity that you will only have this chance once in your lifetime. After today, Dayanara, you will no longer be the design director of the company, and you will have to scram out of the company dejectedly.”
Dayanara was furious, but she didn’t have the confidence to argue with her…
“You are only Deputy Director of the company’s design department. Dayanara is still your immediate supervisor. It’s not your turn to speak,” Alberto said indifferently.
Danielle smiled disdainfully and said, “Alberto, don’t talk to me like that. You merely made some money in the company and you are just a little assistant. Weigh yourself before speaking.”
“What you two have done is disgusting. Why are you still here? You want to sell your misery, so that everyone will pity you, right? Do you want the company’s upper echelons to pity you two? Do you think they will let you stay in the company?” Danielle continued to mock them, “We’re not fools, alright? We won’t believe that you are the victims, that your work has been stolen unfortunately.”
“Think about it. There are so many cameras inside the company. All the jewelry was heavily guarded, yet World King just vanished. Everyone with a brain would know that someone inside the company was colluding with the thief,” Danielle said with a wry expression, “You two are the project leaders, can you escape from criticism?”
“Hey, didn’t Assistant Alberto make a promise in front of all of us yesterday? He said that World King would be here at the Jewelry Fair. Perhaps he has already magically found this jewelry,” Rey also walked over and said to them complacently.
“That’s right. After all, he’s the famous trash son-in-law of the Mcconnells. Perhaps the person who stole the jewelry has heard of him. What if the thief felt sorry for Assistant Alberto and personally sent the jewelry back to the company?” Danielle also laughed sarcastically.
The Collins were completely unscrupulous as they laughed at Alberto like crazy.
To them, Dayanara and Alberto were merely two poor guys knowing no rules of the rich. The Maynards thought that they would be able to go against them when they became design directors. It was simply ridiculous.
At this time, a few more jewelry designers and company executives from the Group walked over. They looked at Alberto and Dayanara with interest, as if they were looking at a joke.
“Ms. Danielle, please don’t bother talking to them. They’ll never understand. They are looking at our world through a keyhole. Even if Mr. Walter offered them a chance, they could do nothing. They are poor, and will remain poor. They’ll have to get out of the company soon,” One female executive sneered at Dayanara and Alberto.
“They really came here to make fools of themselves. There are so many reporters and celebrities present today. The Maynards have messed up such a big project. How can they still participate in the Jewelry Fair?”
“Hey, Dayanara wants to experience her identity as Director this one last time. This is her last chance! After the Jewelry Fair, she will lose her status. Can she still participate in such a high-end exhibition then?”
“You…” Dayanara bit her lips. She was extremely angry.
“Dayanara, forget it,” Alberto said. “The exhibition is about to begin. Let’s go over and take our seats.”
Dayanara nodded. The two of them turned around and walked towards the interior of the hall.
“Wait!”
Danielle suddenly stopped them.
“Do you think you still have the qualifications to sit in the VIP seats?”
