Chapter 1303
She did not reply to Odell and threw the phone back into her bag
Shortly after that, she arrived at the academy.
Christopher and some of the other lecturers joining them were already waiting for her.
After everyone exchanged short greetings, they carpooled to the Westchester Hotel where the event
would take place.
The event was conducted inside the grand ballroom on the ground floor of the hotel.
It was a gigantic ballroom.
By the time Sylvia got there with Christopher, a lot of people had already arrived.
The demographic of the attendees was rather diverse. There were as many young people as there
were older members, and everyone was very polite. Christopher was rather well–known in the art and
education circle in Westchester as well. As soon as he stepped into the ballroom, many people came
up to him with a smile and greeted him, “President Dendro, you brought Ms. Sunflower with you as
well?”
“Wow! We‘re all dying to meet her.”
Everyone turned to Sylvia with an enthusiastic look flashing in their eyes.
Christopher smiled and turned to Sylvia.
Sylvia had assumed that Christopher was just exaggerating when he said that many people were eager
to see her.
She greeted them with a pleasant smile and introduced herself politely, “Hello everyone, my name is
Sylvia but most of you probably know me as Ms. Sunflower.”
Everyone was very intrigued by her presence.
“My God, Ms. Sunflower sure is young!”
“And so pretty.”
Sylvia smiled. “You guys are being too generous with your praises.”
“Haha! We‘re teachers, we won‘t praise you if we don‘t mean it.”
“Ms. Sunflower, I‘m very fond of the painting you submitted in the most recent gallery. I‘m very
interested in the arts and I was wondering if I can bother you with a few questions.”
Sylvia answered courteously, “Of course.”
She walked and chatted with them.
They had a lovely conversation over food and drinks.
Meanwhile, a black car had just arrived and parked at the entrance of the hotel.
Cliff and Shermaine were the first ones out of the car. Cliff quickly went to open the door for Odell.
Odell stepped out of the car.
Cliff quickly stepped to his side to let Odell take the lead. Shermaine quickly followed behind them.
Before they entered the hotel, several people came to the entrance to greet them.
“Master Carter, good evening, this way please.”
“Everyone‘s already here, we‘re all looking forward to seeing you.”
Their reception was warm and cordial.
Odell nodded and entered with them.
After they passed through a corridor, they arrived at the ballroom, a very grand and respectable venue.
As soon as they entered, a large group of people flocked toward them.
Cliff was no stranger to this scene. He quickly stepped up and made sure that people did not get too
close to Odell.
Odell strode through the crowd, completely unbothered by the mass attention. With every step he took,
the sea of people parted to make way for him.
His tall figure was especially eye–catching among the crowd.
Following him from behind, Shermaine quietly gazed at his dashing figure, the man who was basked in
fame and glory but seemingly unimpressed by the attention. She could feel her heartbeat accelerating
while her eyes were filled with respect and awe.
Cliff suddenly turned back to look at her. “Shermaine, what are you daydreaming about?”
This quickly brought Shermaine back to her senses. “I‘m sorry, my mind was somewhere else. My
bad.”
“It‘s alright. Do you remember the people who came to greet us at the entrance?” Cliff asked.
Shermaine nodded. “I do.”
“Go find them and hand each of them a copy of the documents we prepared earlier.”
“Alright, I‘m on it.” Shermaine straightened herself and made herself stop staring at Odell. She walked
away with a briefcase in hand.
