I even knew that Holmer City had been holding this event for the past ten years. It was one of the most important events in the industry. The people who were invited were the top engineers and technicians around the world. Everyone was there to learn from each other and to exchange ideas. It was an incredibly rare opportunity.
Tim guessed my father might be there. "How about taking this opportunity to talk to him?" Sebastian said generously. "Have Justy pick out an evening dress for you either today or tomorrow. The company will pay for it."
Justine's frustrations instantly vanished when she heard that. "No problem! Just leave it to me. I'll make sure your dress will steal the show, Mr. Hill."
Justine immediately turned the car around and drove to the largest mall. Unfortunately, after they shopped around, the most expensive dress in the mall was far less than a few hundred thousand dollars. Justine thought it wasn't good enough for Evelyn.
Two hours later, Justine decided to let Evelyn wear the dress she had just shipped back into the country from abroad. She immediately made a call and had someone deliver it to them.
The maid dress was a light purple, and the fabric was smooth and light as a feather. The cinched waist design perfectly showed off Evelyn's figure. The dress looked even more vibrant under the light. It had no unnecessary embellishments, but it looked extravagant. Plus, the design was superb. "This dress is perfect for you. If you wore it, you'd be the belle of the ball!" Justine was incredibly happy with it.
Evelyn appreciated Justine’s consideration of her wine preferences, so she didn't turn down her offer. Ban's assistant had already booked a hotel room in Holmer City for Evelyn and Sebastian before they departed.
As Evelyn packed her luggage, she found the lucky charm Tessie had given her in her pocket. She froze for a moment before putting it in the back of her closet, never giving it another thought.
Lowland Sebastian flew to Holmes City a day in advance. It was Evelyn's first time in the city. They were staying at the Bulgari Hotel, and Sebastian brought Evelyn to check in.
As soon as Evelyn got to the reception desk and took out her ID, she heard someone call out to her, “Evelyn? Why are you here?”
She turned around and saw Mason dragging his luggage. He scanned Evelyn from head to toe, and then asked Sebastian, “Mr. Hill, are you here to attend the conference with your team?”
This was a grand event. Not only would various field elites be attending, but there would also be bosses from all major businesses. Project investments would be involved, making it inevitable for them to bump into each other.
“What a coincidence,” Sebastian replied with a smile.
Mason raised his eyebrow and glanced at Evelyn. “Did you only bring her?” It was tough to get a spot at the conference, yet Sebastian gave it to Lehn, who knew nothing about the field. Did the other core members at Flying Seal Group have no objections?
“Bringing Evie is enough,” Sebastian said, not quite understanding what Mason meant, so he casually brushed him off.
On the other hand, Evelyn didn't intend to engage with Mason at all. Mason smiled and said nothing. He left to make a call instead.
Immediately afterward, Evelyn saw a few others at the door. It was Lucas, Tiffany, and Flynn. Evelyn pursed her lips, but quickly figured out that someone of Lucas's status would definitely be on the list of important guests.
Lucas simply glanced at Evelyn casually after seeing her at the hotel, showing no surprise. He simply nodded at Sebastian and asked, “Mr. Hill, are you free to join us for dinner tonight?”
Setarian looked regretful. "I have an appointment tonight. Let's do it tomorrow instead—we'll have a chance then."
