True Love Waits novel Chapter 819

At the Y City New District Exhibition Center

ZL Group's autumn clothing line launch event was being held at the exhibition center. Many media outlets and staff members were already there, preparing for the event.

Staff members in the backstage were very busy as well. There were thirty models there, changing their clothes and attended to by hairstylists and makeup artists.

In the VIP lounge

Evelyn showed up in the dress she'd set out. She didn't want to attract too much attention. While she was reading through the documents and signing her name, her makeup artist and stylist started fussing over.

"Hey Nadia! How many guests are here?" Evelyn asked.

"There's an hour left before the launch formally starts. Almost ninety-five percent of our guests have signed in," Nadia replied.

"Are the models ready? How about the clothing lines and the designers?" After Evelyn put the signed papers aside, a second stack of papers was handed to her.

"Rest assured, Miss Huo. Everything is ready."

"What about the photographers? Are they in position?"

"Chill. Everything's taken care of."

After hearing the answer she wanted, Evelyn heaved a sigh of relief. "Okay. Thank you."

"It's my duty."

At 5:45 p.m., the hostess came onstage and recited her speech. "Welcome to Glamour's autumn launch. Glamour is a clothing brand under ZL Group, and I am the hostess of the event, Renee Yang. Now, put your hands together for Miss Evelyn Huo, regional CEO of ZL Group. She'll be taking over the mike for a bit to kick off the press conference and tell you more."

The name Evelyn Huo instantly started a stir among the guests. Most of them had never heard of her before.

But they did know who Carlos was. Everyone did. So they started wondering if Evelyn had anything to do with him.

The catwalk was all lit up. A woman appeared at the other end. She walked towards the audience in her high heels.

She possessed features a girl would kill for—perfect fair skin, a pair of round, innocent eyes, a beautifully shaped nose, and soft, red lips. She wore a graceful smile.

She had French braids circling her head, her long lustrous black hair spilled down her back. She was in a black evening dress long enough to reach the ankles. It had lace in all the right places, exposing the swell of her breasts and the dimples of Venus, without being too immodest. The right side of her dress was split to show off her long leg, but stopped just above the knee.

She wore jewelry that common people could only dream of. Her necklace, earrings, rings, bracelets, all of them were made of precious metals, with ruby and diamond settings and ornaments.

Everything was meant to flow together, the designs and the jewelry melded nicely. Nothing would seem too ostentatious.

With her fair skin and elegant bearing, she was like a goddess descending upon the world.

Her appearance caused a commotion among the guests. Even those who were already famous couldn't help talking about her when they saw her take the stage.

"Who is she? Why haven't I seen her before? The regional CEO was supposed to give a speech, right? Wow, she is so hot. Is she a model? Who is that?"

"She's so beautiful! She has such a nice figure I can't even breathe!"

"Let me tell you a little secret. She's the eldest princess of ZL Group and has been working as the regional CEO. She's never headlined such a public event before."

"Oh, so she's Mr. Huo's kid. No wonder. I'm guessing that a lot women are going to get dumped tonight because they won't measure up to her."

"She is so beautiful! I would totally go gay for her."

Cameras offstage kept flashing like crazy. Evelyn walked over to the hostess, took the mike and thanked her politely. Then the hostess walked off the stage.

Evelyn glanced at the mike, then back at the crowd. "Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. I'm Evelyn Huo, large and in charge. It's my honor to invite all of you to attend the launch of ZL Group's autumn line. Today's event is divided into four major categories. Next, let me introduce to you all..."
