News spread quickly on social media, drawing people to Bianca’s livestream to see the spectacle of the top actor and actress attending together.
With everyone watching, Sophia and Nicolas approached Bianca.
“Bianc, congratulations on your company’s opening!”
“Miss Scott, congratulations!”
Bianca whispered affectionately to Sophia, “You look absolutely stunning today!”
Sophia smiled. “Thank you. I had to impress you with what you asked of me.”
Nicolas didn’t catch their quiet exchange. Initially invited by Bianca to the opening ceremony, he wasn’t very interested. However, when Sophia later invited him, he changed his mind and gladly accepted.
As for the suit, Sophia picked it out for him. She assured him he would look great in it, and he couldn’t say no to her for some reason.
He thoroughly enjoyed her compliments!
After signing autographs, Sophia and Nicolas were guided to their seats by the event staff.
Meanwhile, the crowd that had gathered around Natalie moved over to Bianca’s area. Although some of her fans stayed, Natalie looked visibly unhappy.
Bianca’s area didn’t attract as many people as Natalie’s devoted fan base did. Natalie’s fans from all over the country filled the large square, showing their strong support.
Natalie made a big effort to connect with the crowd, mingling with fans and handing out small treats that caught everyone’s attention. Many people turned towards Natalie, wanting to get their hands on these giveaways.
The comments on Natalie’s live stream were filled with praise.
“I never knew Natalie would be so friendly in person.”
“Wow, I wish I could meet Natalie too.”
The host interrupted the livestream and announced, “Everyone, Miss Natalie King isn’t just here for the live audience; she’s also engaging with all of you tuning in online today. Join in on the fun for a chance to win one of our special gifts!”
Suddenly, Natalie’s live stream attracted a surge of new viewers, making it incredibly popular.
Just then, the Twitter host received an unexpected message. He turned to the camera and declared, “Ladies and gentlemen, get ready for some major guests joining us soon. You won’t want to miss this! And for those who stick around till the end of the livestream, there’s a shiny Twitter medal and a whole year of free Twitter membership waiting for you. We appreciate your support!”
These commemorative medals were usually reserved for big Twitter events. No one expected them to be handed out at Bianca’s company launch today, and they were very generous with them.
The online audience was amazed.
After tirelessly engaging with everyone on-site and online, Natalie noticed a decline in the number of viewers tuning in online.
“Natalie, it seems like everyone from our livestream has moved over to Bianca’s side,” Ashley exclaimed angrily, stomping her feet.
Anxiety swept over Natalie, her eyes reddening. She wasn’t going to let Bianca outshine her today.
So, Natalie declared to her fans and the online audience, “Today, whether you’re here with us or watching online, if you stick around till the end, I’ll be giving away two-year Twitter memberships straight from my own pocket!”
The online community was thrilled. They hadn’t expected to benefit from Natalie and Bianca’s rivalry, but secretly, they were hoping for a heated showdown between the two.
Many viewers flocked to Natalie’s livestream, enticed by the offer of a two-year Twitter membership.
Some bystanders, realizing there were rewards to be had, left Bianca’s side and joined Natalie’s.
“Natalie must be going all out. Giving away memberships to this many people from her own pocket is no small expense,” Diana commented beside Bianca.
Bianca smirked and replied, “The more extravagant her gestures, the more attention we receive.”
At that moment, more comments flooded Bianca’s live stream.
Vincent then appeared on camera with Ruby.
“Who’s the older woman with Vincent? She looks familiar.”
“That’s Ruby Garcia, the famous figure from our textbooks.”
“Wow, I’m amazed Ruby Garcia is at Bianca’s opening! It’s impressive that Bianca was able to invite such a high-profile guest.”
Shortly after, numerous well-known celebrities arrived at Bianca’s opening event.
They were all aware that Bianca had invited Vincent and Ruby and were delighted to join.
Receiving an invitation from Bianca appeared to be a mark of prestige. Those who hadn’t been invited felt a sense of exclusion.
Ashley was completely stunned. She couldn’t figure out how Bianca had attracted so many prominent figures from the entertainment industry.
But for the bystanders, the presence of influential celebrities on Bianca’s side didn’t matter much. They still felt more connected to what was happening around them.
Suddenly, a luxurious car pulled up in front of Bianca’s company, once again capturing everyone’s attention.
Brandon, the renowned singer, stepped out of the car.
He was even more famous than his brother Nicolas, and everyone recognized him.
Bianca’s live stream numbers were soaring.
Spotting Brandon, Bianca paused, a hint of surprise in her eyes, before leaning over to Diana. “Did you invite Brandon?”
Diana, wide-eyed with astonishment and joy, shook her head. “I suggested it, but he declined. What could have brought him here?”
Bianca narrowed her gaze thoughtfully, looking around for Dave.
‘He had been here just a moment ago. Where had he disappeared to?’
She quickly texted him, “Where did you go?”
His reply came quickly, “Got caught up with a task from the boss. Noticed you were busy, so I didn’t disturb you. I’ll be back soon.”
Bianca playfully responded, “Your boss must think highly of you. Keep up the good work.”
She then tucked her phone away in her pocket.
Moments ago, Dave had slipped away to avoid Ruby when he saw her stepping out of the car. Now, he sat on the second floor of a coffee shop across the street, observing the event through the French window.
Brandon had come here at Dave’s request, not just as a guest but to perform a song for the opening.
Having a celebrity like Brandon was a significant deal.
‘Had Dave planned this as a special surprise for Bianca?’
Despite finding Dave’s methods overbearing, Brandon wouldn’t dare refuse him. So here he was, albeit reluctantly.
Approaching Brandon, Bianca greeted him with a warm, professional smile. “Mr. Foster, it’s wonderful to have you here. Please, take a seat.”
Brandon gave Bianca a quick wink as he made his way to the guest seat and took a comfortable position.
His assistant leaned over to Bianca and whispered that Brandon would be performing a song at the opening event.
This news surprised Bianca. Brandon’s offering to sing was a rare treat, something that usually couldn’t be bought with money. She couldn’t help but wonder why she was so fortunate to receive this honor.
