Chapter 546
The introduction to the Shawn Groupโs first jewelry exhibition was plastered all over the first-floor lobby. The high-tech screen was super bright and fancy. Outside, the red carpet stretched out long, with staff ready to welcome VIPs like Elizabeth at any moment. They had a special one-on-one tour lined up just for her.
A sleek black Pagani rolled up, grabbing everyoneโs attention. Even the reporters inside turned to look.
โThatโs Mr. Tudorโs ride!โ someone shouted.
โNo way, Mr. Tudorโs here?โ another person asked.
โWhyโs that a shock? Mr. Tudor and Mr. Shawn are tight. Itโd be weirder if he didnโt show,โ someone else chimed in.
Everyone nodded, agreeing it made sense.
Alexander stepped out of the car, rocking a black turtleneck under a black suit, looking both chill and composed. Nolan was right behind him.
The reporters went nuts, snapping a ton of pictures of Alexander. He looked pretty indifferent, with just a hint of tiredness on his handsome face.
Everyone watched as Alexander walked straight into the exhibition, not talking to anyone. He glanced at his phone a couple of times, and no one bothered him after that.
As soon as he got inside, he saw Ivan coming out. Ivan greeted him with a big smile. โAlexander! I knew youโd show up.โ
Even though Ivan was chasing after Elizabeth, both he and Alexander were smart enough not to let it mess with their friendshipโat least, not yet.
Alexander nodded. โEverything going okay?โ
โNot bad. I gotta go meet a friend now,โ Ivan said, dialing a number on his phone.
Alexander caught a glimpse of a familiar name on Ivanโs phone but didnโt look too closely.
Just then, there was a commotion outside. โTheyโre here,โ Ivan said.
Seeing Ivanโs happy face, Alexander thought for a second it might be Elizabeth. But when he turned, it was Kieran.
โHe needs you to meet him?โ Alexander asked, tugging at his suit collar.
โNah, my friendโs not here yet!โ Ivan laughed, waving at Kieran.
Kieran was busy with the reporters, posing confidently for photos. He was the total opposite of Alexander, who had just walked in. One was here to party, the other for business.
Kieran asked Alexander, โSo, what do you think of Ivanโs taste?โ
โHavenโt checked it out yet,โ Alexander replied honestly.
Kieran laughed. โCome on, letโs go see!โ
Alexander nodded, still glancing outside. Is the friend Ivanโs so eager to meet Elizabeth? But if it was her, would he just say โmeet a friend?โ Alexander wondered.
โHey, what are you daydreaming about?โ Kieran nudged Alexanderโs shoulder. Alexander followed him in.
