Chapter 12 Public Blunder
As the lights dimmed in the conference hall, everyone turned their gaze to the main stage, listening as the emcee announced, “Now, I announce that the ‘Quest of Love’ appraisal event officially begins. Feel free to start appraising the products, everyone.”
The jewelry designers and successful business people attending the event were engaging in small talks with one another when they paused before a ring at the same time. The ring, made entirely of platinum, was precisely the one Melanie had chosen just now.
“Oh, this ring’s design is really unique. I wonder if there’s a story behind it,” said the owner of Capstone Realty, a real estate company.
“Indeed, it’s a fine piece of work, though I know nothing about its design. Haha…”
The other business people were interested in the ring as well. They heaped flattery on one another, but none of them could tell the story behind the ring.
Feeling that it was time for her to shine, Melanie stepped forward and ran her fingers through her hair in an attractive way. Then, she introduced herself with a smile, saying, “Hi, everyone. I’m Melanie Greyson, President Luke’s companion. Gentlemen, this ring is designed by Mr. Sam Cruz, who got the inspiration when he proposed to his lover with a red rose in his hand…”
The instant Melanie said that, the businessmen and jewelry designers around her knitted their brows slightly.
