“You're practically wearing a mansion around your neck,” Sandra said as she personally fastened the rare and expensive yellow diamond necklace around Yvonne's neck.
Suddenly, Yvonne's slender, pale neck felt as if it were bearing an immense weight.
“The pressure is immense. What if I lose it?” Yvonne joked.
“Guard it with your life! If you lose it, the two of us combined could never afford to replace it,” Sandra replied.
As usual, Yvonne traveled in a luxury van, escorted by bodyguard vehicles both in front and behind.
The annual business gala was held at the city's most luxurious hotel.
Just as Yvonne entered the banquet hall, she ran into Thomas, who was impeccably dressed in a suit for the same event.
“Yvonne,” Thomas said, raising a hand in greeting.
“Mr. Taylor,” Yvonne replied with a smile as she walked over.
Although she had rejected his advances, there was no need to cut off all contact.
“I was worried you wouldn't be attending tonight. It's so good to see you,” Thomas said, his eyes smiling at Yvonne with a gaze full of warmth.
“The brand insisted. I didn't have much of a choice,” Yvonne said with a resigned smile and a casual shrug.
She had no choice but to ignore his adoring gaze.
Thomas didn't seem to press the issue. Like a true gentleman, he extended his arm in a welcoming gesture, and they walked into the main hall, one after the other.
The banquet hall was decorated with the utmost extravagance. The guests included famous celebrities, industry elites, and rising business tycoons.
It was a scene of clinking glasses and dazzling opulence.
