Upon arriving at the so-called reception banquet venue, Lily was stunned.She never expected the
reception banquet to be as exquisite as a wedding’s.
The only difference was that the buffet was at a garden villa, and the staff had carefully decorated the
venue.
It was jam-packed with a huge crowd.
Lily felt a little anxious seeing people of various races speaking various languages.
She smiled awkwardly at strangers and tilted her head to ask Giselle, ‘Are they all here to participate in
the competition?"
Giselle lowered her head and looked at the brochure she was holding, "Yes, they should be."
‘What the heck? Why are there so many participants? Isn’t there supposed to be a limited number of
contestants since it’s a tough competition to enter?’ Lily had a slight headache just seeing the number
of people around, not to mention participating in the competition.
"Haha, so who’s the organizer we’re going to meet?"
Lily thought she should greet the organizer and quit.She would be better off eating room service food at
the hotel instead of cramped here, especially when her feet hurt from her high heels.
"The person in charge from the organizer is Lisa Parker, but I didn't see her." Giselle pushed her
glasses.
"Did you not see her, or you don't know her?"
Lily suspected she might not have actually met the organizer.
A look of embarrassment appeared on Giselle's face that Lily had never seen before.
Even so, Giselle said thoughtfully, "Yes, I’ve never met the organizers, but I have their photos, and I
looked at them carefully.I can recognize her if I see her."
Lily was silent.She thought, ‘Alright, whatever you say"
"Then, if you see the organizer, just let me know.I'll go get some air."
Lily wanted to escape.
However, knowing how Giselle was, she could not possibly let Lily go, "Lily, that would be quite
rude.You should stay here to get acquainted with other contestants, which will be helpful for the
competition."
Lily wanted to say it was the perfume Lisa would review, not these contestants, but how would it help?
Still, she was tired of explaining this to the relentless Giselle.
She placed her hand on her lower abdomen and said, "Well, I need to go to the toilet..."
"Would you like me to come with you?" Giselle asked immediately.
"No, there’s no need! Wouldn't it be rude if the organizer came and we missed her?"
Lily said, "So please keep a lookout for me.I'll be quick, okay?"
After gesturing to Giselle, Lily hurriedly left and headed toward the corner of the venue.She found a
corner with fewer people and sighed in relief, feeling she could breathe more easily.
If she had known it was such a reception banquet, she would not have come as it was boring and
uninteresting.
Initially, she thought the review competition was to gain insight and learn something, but she did not
expect it to be a monotonous social event.
From the beginning, she had refused all kinds of social interaction.
That was exactly why she left all the company operations to Nathaniel and Melanie.She shook her
head vigorously when she thought of those two.
‘ Why am I even thinking about them?’ When she raised her head again, she was baffled by the figure
walking in front of her.
