Clara went to the conference with Darren, Sarah, Stephanie and several cameramen.
Darren sat beside Clara. He saw the necklace. It must be given by Horace.
Darren remembered he also gave her a necklace, but it was not made in diamond. He pretended to be a poor college student in front of her, so he bought her a crummy one.
He regretted it.
On the way, Luis said, "Will Mrs. Kirkland attend the press conference? Then we can take frontal photos of her."
Darren looked at Clara. Clara gave him a glimpse, then turned her head around.
Sarah tapped on Luis's shoulder, "Luis, you should spare no effort to take the photo of Mrs. Kirkland. The press conference is not important at all."
What? Clara found it amusing. How could they take the photo of Mrs. Kirkland, since she would be occupied covering the news under the stage?
Sarah asked, "Clara, your husband must have met Mrs. Kirkland. What does she look like? Will she attend the conference?"
Clara was stunned. "No. Mrs. Kirkland…I think she will not be there…" Her voice trailed off.
Hearing their discussion about Mrs. Kirkland, Clara didn't know whether she should be happy or uneasy.
The conference was grand and solemn. Even the reporter of Stratmont News came to broadcast it on hand.
All kinds of luxury cars parked at the gate of the press conference, including Maserati, BMW, Mercedes Benz, Bentley... there were even some customized cars. All of them were worthy more than 100 million.
They were amazed by all the luxurious items.
Darren said, "You can have fun, but don't embarrass GLAM. You must bring back the first-hand cover and photo. It's up to you this time."
"Got it, editor-in-chief!"
Darren whispered to Clara, "Do you think it's appropriate to attend the press conference dressed up like this?"
"Horace asked me to dress up, and I can't reject him. Don't worry, I'll get my work done."
"That's not what I mean." Darren always found her innocent.
"I mean…you look good today."
Clara wanted to say something, but she felt resigned.
Sarah urged Clara and Darren to step up, so they could get in together.
There were a champagne tower and a ten-layered cake. They even invited top-class French chef to prepare various delicacies to treat the guests.
"Wow, such an extravagant press conference! It totally blows my mind!" Sarah found everything fascinating.
Many celebrities and stars gathered together. They all dressed up and behaved gracefully. Good-looking men and women walked to and fro, chatting and laughing.
Even Stephanie was thrilled, "Awesome, the Holrace Corporation is so awesome! There are so many big shots here today. I've seen so many VIPs in one day, including those we never had a chance to interview before."
People at GLAM were all happy to attend this once-in-a-lifetime event.
People at the conference hall were all looking for their seats.
Others from the media threw a jealous look at them. How could GLAM, a second-class magazine, have the best seats? It was unprecedented.
