The spotlight was on, and applause filled the air. Below the stage sat all the well-known

figures of Imperia, confidently discussing the business landscape and pointing out the

future.

This was the dream Isabella had envisioned.

Three minutes ago, it became a reality.

Seth ushered Isabella into the venue and, without any delay, released her hand and

pushed her towards the podium.

Isabella stood alone, feeling the intense gaze on her back without even turning around.

She straightened her back, held her breath, and tried to calm herself down. Isabella,

don’t panic. It’s not a big deal.

The flashlights around her kept flashing, and the media circled around the periphery,

their setup rivaling that of a popular TV show’s press conference.

Isabella wore a smile on her face, but inside, her heart was racing. She stepped onto

the stage, placed her hands on the podium, and adjusted the curve of her lips.

“Good evening, everyone…”

Her calm voice, in contrast to her racing heartbeat, resonated throughout the venue.

Isabella recalled the process Seth had just mentioned and began to speak at a steady

pace. She thought she would be at a loss for words, but when there was no way out, all

the drafts she had prepared came out smoothly.

Below the stage, Seth sat in the front seat, listening to Isabella’s inaugural speech.

From beginning to end, it was almost identical to what she had said when she was

drunk, as if it had been copied.

Indeed, Isabella had been dreaming about this.

He felt slightly amused, and the corners of his lips unconsciously curled into a faint

smile.

On the stage, Isabella spoke with a polite smile. When she swept her

the smile on Seth’s lips, she immediately felt it was mocking.

gaze and caught

Her heart sank, and she subconsciously reflected on whether she had said something

wrong. As she pondered, her brain froze for a moment, and she ran out of words.

The venue fell silent.

The sound of cameras clicking was very noticeable, and it also invisibly heightened the

tension.

Isabella was annoyed with herself and also resented Seth. What was he laughing at? It

made her forget her words.

She maintained her smile, changed her speaking style, and went straight to the final

part of her speech about the future.

Fortunately, the people below the stage didn’t care about what she was saying; they

were just going through the motions.

Isabella spoke for about ten minutes, and the expected applause came from below the

stage. Her task was complete.

She stepped down from the stage, originally intending to walk towards Seth, but found

that two directors were sitting next to him, and behind him were Selena and Nicolas.

She pursed her lips, glanced around the venue, straightened her back, and walked

towards where the Nemotors employees were gathered.

Alex stood at the front, and he hugged her as soon as she approached, whispering in

her ear, “You were awesome!”

Isabella wanted to laugh but couldn’t help feeling excited. She patted Alex’s back twice.

They didn’t have time to say much, as the host on the stage had already announced the

start of the banquet, and the atmosphere of the venue quickly changed.

After the ceremony, there was a dance, which was also a customary procedure for

Isabella, the protagonist. It was important to whom Isabella danced the first dance

with.

She had just rushed to Alex, and now she was a bit far from Seth. If she walked over

now, it would seem a bit deliberate, and Seth might not even dance with her.

As she hesitated, someone appeared next to her.

“Miss Symons, may I have this dance?”

Isabella turned her head, surprised. “Mr. Leonard?”

Leonard raised his eyebrows. He was wearing a light blue suit, a diamond stud in his

earlobe, and a hint of a mischievous smile.

Isabella couldn’t refuse, and without thinking, she placed her hand on Leonard’s.

The music started, and the two stepped onto the dance floor.

Isabella rested her hand on Leonard’s shoulder, chatting as they danced, “Why are you

here?”

He whispered in her ear, “It’s not just me.”

She was shocked, and following the direction Leonard pointed,

and Simon under the champagne tower. Next to them were two of Seth’s friends she

had met before.

She thought the “big shots” she had seen earlier were already impressive, but she didn’t

expect Seth’s friends to be here, too, and they were all gathered together.

The music was melodious, and she turned a relaxed circle in her dance steps just in

time to see Seth.

He wasn’t dancing, and he was already surrounded by a group of people, each one of

them a remarkable figure.

As if sensing her gaze, Seth slightly raised his eyes.

Isabella quickly lowered her head, using Leonard’s height to hide her face.

When the dance was over, he bowed politely and led her off the dance floor.

Seth didn’t say anything, but Dariel led the others over first.

“Congratulations, Miss Symons. You have a bright future.”

Isabella had already received a bag full of such compliments, but when it came from

Dariel, she felt unhappy.

She didn’t look at Dariel. Instead, she turned to Simon. “Mr. Gates, thank you for

coming.”

Dariel chuckled, immediately turning to Seth. “Come take a look. Seems like Miss

Symons has a rather unusual attitude towards Simon.”

Isabella was annoyed with Dariel.
