Chapter 213:
“By the way, there’s a banquet tonight. It’s a gathering for designers and brand owners from around the world participating in Fashion Week. Our company has received an invitation. Willie wanted me to inquire if you’re interested in attending p>
Jenessa, collaborating with SparkWave under the alias Sloane Todd, wasn’t pressured by Willie to attend but was asked for her preference beforehand. Eager to network with other creative minds, Jenessa readily accepted.
“Absolutely. If you’re free this evening, why don’t you join me p>
Evie’s eyes sparkled with gratitude.
“Thank you p>
As the evening approached, Evie and Jenessa entered the banquet hall in an understated manner. Jenessa planned to survey the event briefly and make an early exit.
Their low-key plan was soon interrupted when the banquet’s organizer approached, beaming with recognition.
“You must be Sloane Todd p>
Jenessa, taken aback, instinctively turned to Evie.
Evie leaned in and whispered, “We just entered under SparkWave’s invitation. I suspect Willie might have mentioned us beforehand p>
With no alternative, Jenessa reluctantly nodded and confirmed, “Yes, I am p>
Her confirmation instantly drew the attention of those around her.
“Did I hear correctly? Is she Sloane Todd p>

“I can hardly believe Sloane is so young p>
“Ms. Todd, a pleasure to meet you. Here’s my business card p>
Before Jenessa could gather her thoughts, a crowd formed around her, each person eager to introduce themselves.
Overwhelmed by the sudden attention, Jenessa looked to the organizer for assistance. However, the organizer only amplified her newfound celebrity.
“Ms. Todd, you may not be aware, but your competition with Mina, the former chief designer at SparkWave, has been the talk of the design world. When word got out that you’d be here tonight, many were eager to see you in person and possibly learn from your experience p>
With no way to politely extricate herself, Jenessa managed a smile and began to engage with the enthusiastic group.
At the same time, Ryan and Maisie arrived at the banquet’s entrance. The organizer immediately went to welcome Ryan, saying warmly, “Mr. Haynes, delighted you could make it p>
As soon as Maisie stepped into the hall, she eagerly asked, “Is Sloane here? I’m so eager to meet her p>
Recognizing Maisie’s connection to Ryan, the organizer treated her with deference, smiling warmly as he replied, “Indeed, she’s right over there, engaging with some of our guests p>
He then pointed towards Jenessa, who was now at the center of a lively gathering.
Ryan and Maisie turned their heads in the direction pointed out, only to see a large crowd gathered, effectively hiding Jenessa in its midst.
Maisie’s brow furrowed in irritation.
“Why are there so many people crowding around Sloane p>
The organizer, with an ingratiating grin, responded, “Everyone is thrilled to catch a glimpse of Sloane in person for the very first time p>
