The Daring Billionaire’s Wife

Chapter 54

Vanessa

Having Dominic out of town has made it easier to be wherever want without feeling awkward because I don’t run into him,

I’ve already been to the hospital to deliver what I promised the children and I couldn’t wait so I did it earlier than I said I would. It warmed my heart seeing how happy they all were that they got the exact tou

they wanted.

It’s afternoon and I’m on my way to the women’s conference. Liz keeps texting me, wondering when I’m going to arrive. It almost seems like she’s a little impatient. I wonder what’s going on with her. I don’t think it matters when I’ll arrive as long as it’s before the event.

As the car pulls up to the event, reporters instantly swarm toward it. They know it’s me because of the custom made number plate.

I’m actually surprised. This isn’t what I was expecting.

With a smile, I step out of the car, my bodyguards trying to protect me as the cameras go off. Why didn’t Liz mention this part?

Though my goal is just to head inside the building, the reporters can’t seem to leave me alone, so I’m forced to say a few words to them.

Afterwards, I proceed to the entrance and the bodyguards keep everyone away from me. Even with all the frenzy, I still smile and wave at everyone who wants me to look over at their cameras

Just as I step inside, I spot Liz, standing on the stage. There are still a few minutes before the event begins and as soon as she sees me, she nervously rushes toward me.

“Welcome, Mrs Richards.”

“Thank you. I didn’t know you would have the reporters here.”

“I’m sorry about that. That’s why I wanted to know what time you would arrive, but I didn’t hear from you, I wanted to clear the area so you’re comfortable.”

“It’s alright,” I say to her as one of my bodyguards pulls out a chair for me among those in the back row.

“Oh, no. You have to sit in the front. I reserved a special seat for you, she says to me.

“There’s no need for that,” I say dismissively.

“Please, I insist.”

She’s so persuasive that I give in and follow her lead to the front There’s a chair at the end of the front row that looks different from the rest. I still don’t think there was a need for this. She’s doing a little bit too much, but I go with it anyway.

Once the place is fully packed, the event begins and she announces my presence. It makes me feel a little nervous and everyone gives me a round of applause. I really wasn’t expecting all this.

The event goes on until evening and I find it quite insightful and inspirational. I even get a few ideas of my own that I plan

to work on.
