Armand Bernie who was sitting in the corner looked at Theresa’s face, he felt like he had met her before, but he was completely unfamiliar with her, this was a strange feeling.
He pursed his lips and looked at Theresa who was under the spotlight, he tried to find some hints from her face that could prove that he had met her before.
However, he couldn’t find any, he really didn’t meet her before. He had first seen her on the invitation card, this was the first time to meet her in person, so he didn’t know Theresa.
Theresa took the microphone which was passed to her by the host on the stage, she appeared calm and relaxed when facing the flickering spotlights from the audience seats, she then bowed, “Thank you all for coming today, and thanks for all the event crews, thank you!”
She stood gracefully on the stage, she held the microphone and looked at everyone, “I’m not the founder of ‘Cloud’, the founder is not able to attend due to some personal reasons. Should you have any queries, you can ask me, and I will answer them one by one.”
“May I know why the founder names it as ‘Cloud’?” A reporter asked initially.
Theresa answered fluently, “I believe that from all of the people coming today, there are a lot of fashion professionals, I think that you guys should have heard of Tea silk before, right?”
Someone exclaimed, “Is it the Tea silk which has disappeared from people’s view for more than twenty years?”
Theresa smiled, “Yes.” She then explained, “The twelve Chinese wedding dresses this time were all made from the combination of Tea silk and hand-made embroideries by eleven masters, who had spent two months to complete them. Although the process was time-consuming and laborious, I believe that everyone has seen the results.”
“May I know will the prices of these wedding dresses be very high?” There was someone who showed keenness to buy, no matter the designs or meanings, they were both typical.
“I’m sorry, but these will not be sold, regardless of how much money, these are just for display only. If you’re thinking of collaborating with us, later I will introduce the person in charge to everyone.” Theresa smiled, “Now I will give ten minutes’ time to let everyone have a closer look at them, but please don’t 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, left only the three men at the corner who didn’t move, Armand Bernie and Boyce Shawn looked at Cormac Mendelsohn.
They knew the relationship between Tea silk and Victoria Forbis who had passed away, it might not be related to Cormac in the past, but now it was.
“Is it Loredana?” Boyce asked, if not who else could have done these?
Cormac was just looking quietly at those beautiful dresses on the stage, he didn’t express too much on his face. However, there were traces of deepened sites at the corners of his eyes if looking carefully, he was indeed not as calm as he showed.
After Loredana left him, she had hidden somewhere secretly to compensate for the death of Victoria Forbis, but he had never considered whether she would feel upset or not due to the loss of the loved one. Cormac clenched his jaw, forming an indentation on the masseter muscle due to the excessive force, it could be seen that he was forbearing so hard to maintain his surface’s calmness. There were twelve models standing beside the runway on the stage to let people view.
The workmanship and materials used had no flaw at all, there was someone exclaiming, “This exhibition is the most shocking ever for me, its luxury and the founder’s special display have really made me can’t calm down for a long time.”
Theresa smiled when getting this kind of comment, the two months of hard works had paid off. She thought that from now on, Tea silk would come back to people’s sights, so Loredana had achieved her goals, the brand ‘Cloud’ would then stand out.
Ten minutes later, the models had left the stage, but everyone still hadn’t finished enjoying themselves.
“Thank you for your support, please negotiate with Mr. Adams if you’re interested in collaboration.”
Oscar Adams was rarely wearing the suit, but not the gaudy clothes, he walked in front of the stage, “If you are interested, please leave your contact details here.”
He had not enough time to go into particulars as there were too many people now, he could only talk about these on another day.
Theresa left the stage after introducing Oscar Adams, she walked to the back and told the event crews, “Please be careful, don’t simply place the dresses after taking off from the models, you must put them back onto the custom-made hangers that we used when the dresses were sent here.”
These clothes were all for display only, they needed to be brought back again. To prevent any damages, they had customized the hangers which were suitable for these clothes when bringing here. Mrs. William walked here, Theresa immediately greeted, “Mrs. William.”
She smiled, Loredana didn’t tell her before about how this exhibition was, she had seen it today and she gave a smile of relief, “I really don’t misjudge her, she has surprised me, but unfortunately she is not here to see the admiration from the eyes of everyone. When I noticed of her during that time, I knew that she will definitely succeed.”
Theresa smiled back, “I would like to say thank you on behalf of Lola.”
“No need, please tell her I’m glad. Although she is no longer at LEO Corporation and has started her own brand, my heart for her will never change, I hope that she will be better in the future.” Mrs. William was old already, but her only child was not interested in this sector, so it was still uncertain whether LEO Corporation could continue surviving after her death.
If she wasn’t a person who cherished the talents of people, she wouldn’t have given a chance to Loredana, who had just graduated without experience and background during that time.
Initially she had thought of handing over LEO Corporation to Loredana after she passed away, but Loredana had already had her own business today, so she could only wish her.
She could understand that everyone had their own stories, LEO Corporation was established by her lover and her, so it should disappear after she left, thinking in this way had made her have no regrets anymore.
They then talked for a while and Theresa sent Mrs. William into the car, watching the car driving off. Theresa then went back backstage and sat on a chair in the corridor, she then took out her phone and was going to give Loredana a call to tell her the situation here. When she just wanted to swipe the green button after finding her phone number, a deep voice was heard from her back.
“Where is she?”
Theresa turned, a lonely silhouette was standing beside a door at the end of the corridor. When he turned his head, then only Theresa could see his face clearly, she turned off the screen of the phone in her hand and stood up with her hand on the wall for support, maintaining her calmness.
“I don’t understand what you’re saying.”
He pulled his collar band, the wind blew inside, but it couldn’t cool down his boiling heart. He breathed heavily, his lungs were like the broken wind boxes, which might explode at any time, “I will ask you about this question because I know your identity, don’t forget that I had helped you to go overseas for treatment during that time.”
Theresa wasn’t lying purposely, she was answering subconsciously to protect Loredana’s privacy, she had done this because she couldn’t simply disclose her whereabouts.
Although she knew the reason that Loredana left him, she still felt that they should get over it. After all those things were not caused by them, they shouldn’t have to bear the consequences, they should instead cherish each other and stay together happily since the two children had grown up already, some more Loredana was pregnant now.
“She is at city C.” Theresa was shocked at the moment when she saw him, she didn’t expect that he would come.
However, she could understand after thinking over it.
There were many invitation cards being sent out, some more he knew her looks very well, so he would definitely guess that this was related to Loredana once he saw the invitation card.
Cormac was stunned for a few seconds, it seemed like he didn’t expect to get this answer, city C was located just next to City B, the distance between them was not far.
“Maybe she doesn’t want to bring the children too far away from you.” Theresa guessed and spoke.
Even though Jolene Harris had left something for her over there, but she had neither accepted it nor used it, the reason she stayed there was because the place was not far away from City B.
Cormac leaned against the door and looked at the light beside the road, he was a bit confused, it seemed like the world was leaving him slowly. The scene in front of his eyes had become lighter and paler, as the picture with a watermark on it, there was only one thought in his mind, “Go meet her… Go meet her.”
“Where does she live?” His voice was very low and gentle, but there was a tremor in his voice if listening carefully, it seemed like he was suppressing a strong feeling in him.
“City C, YJ community’s block A building no. 6,” Theresa said.
Cormac turned, but Theresa stopped him, “Sorry, can you do me a favor…”
When she hadn’t finished her words, Armand and Boyce had come, “Why are you here?”
Armand looked inside the corridor and he saw that there was a woman standing in the corridor, he then looked at Cormac, the corners of his eyes twitched. No one knew what he was thinking, but he didn’t talk anymore.
Theresa swallowed the words that she wanted to say, her emotion was not affected when she saw Armand, she was showing a face like meeting a stranger.
She walked in heels toward them, her eyes didn’t fall on neither Armand nor Boyce, she just smiled and talked to Cormac, “Can I have your phone number?” Armand was following Cormac, she wasn’t convenient to talk in front of him, so she could only talk with him on the phone or through texting. Cormac glanced at her and soon he knew what she was thinking, she simply wanted him to keep a secret and don’t tell Armand about her identity.
Not knowing what he was doing intentionally or unintentionally, he glanced at Armand, “Give her my phone number.”
He then left after saying this.
Armand was unwilling to do so, he felt that Cormac was so strange. He had known Cormac not just for one day or two days, even though Loredana was not beside him, Cormac wouldn’t simply give a woman his contact details.
‘Is it that he is irritated mentally because Loredana is not here?’
