Right Person, Wrong Time novel Chapter 258

Chapter 258 The Banquet Begins

As soon as the banquet began, Wendy strutted into the hall clad in the dress Nicole designed for her. A series of murmurs could be heard the moment she made her appearance. It only took a second for her to have invoked discussion among the attendees of the banquet.

“Is the jewelry Miss Gardner has around her neck from Triton Studio? It is this season’s main product, yes?”

“Right! I saw it during Triton Studio’s press release. There is a rumor that it will be lent to the princess of the royal family. I am surprised to see it on one of the Gardners.”

“That is the Gardner Family for you. They must have gained a reputation for their big family business that they even got a word in with Triton Studio!”

And it went on and on.

Everyone had noticed the necklace on Wendy’s neck at a glance. After all, only the rich and powerful were invited. These people who had been around and had seen their fair share of the world had naturally detected the most important thing of all.

The banquet officially started after Anna went on stage and made a few polite remarks.

As Chief Designer of F&M Apparel, Nicole had shown her face at the company’s annual dinner last time. A lot of people who recognized her all scurried to greet her.

Not one who liked things superficial, Nicole exchanged courtesies with them before she found a corner to hide in.

It wasn’t long after she sat down when Queenie appeared. When Nicole glanced to the side, she noticed that Joseph was standing beside Queenie.

Now when did they get involved with each other? she wondered.

Still, she ignored them and continued to bow her head, taking sips of her fruit juice.

Joseph was the first who spoke, and rather politely at that. “Long time no see, Miss Lisa.”
