Chapter 426:
“Dear, don’t be upset.” Karol laughed as she pulled out a chair and sat down. “I just wanted to make sure I’m not getting in the way of you two. If I am, I can pack up tonight and give you both some privacy p>
Letting out a sigh, Kailey wondered why she could be so curious about such matters. “Did Irene ask you to report back to her again p>
Karol did not answer with words, yet the playful curve of her lips made everything clear.
“Kyson and I are both busy with work, so please don’t—” Kailey trailed off and smiled shyly, feeling embarrassed whenever topics like this came up with Karol.
“Alright, alright. I won’t ask anymore.” Seeing her discomfort, Karol wisely changed the subject. “What would you like for dinner? I’ll cook for you p>

Finishing her breakfast quickly, Kailey grabbed her bag and stood up. “Maybe ribs. I haven’t had yours in a while. I’m running late, so I’ll head to work now, Karol p>
Thanks to Karol’s reminder, Kailey made sure to cover the mark on her neck before leaving, so she wouldn’t become the subject of office gossip. Before stepping out of the car, she dabbed powder over the faint trace and adjusted her hair to conceal it completely. Taking a steady breath, she walked toward the building.
The quarterly launch event was fast approaching. Not only would major media outlets be present, but Fantasy Fusion’s most important partners were also expected to attend.
Dressed in sharp business attire, Kailey wore jewelry and a necklace she had personally designed. As the chief designer, she would be assisting Linda in welcoming the guests.
“Don’t get nervous. Most of them don’t really understand design. Just say something polite and formal. If anything feels off, tell me right away, alright?” Linda reminded her before the guests arrived.
Although Kailey did not particularly enjoy such occasions, she had dealt with similar situations before. She gave a small nod. “Alright p>
At that moment, a group of elegantly dressed men and women walked toward them, carrying themselves with refined confidence.
“They’re here,” Linda whispered, then turned to the guests with a friendly smile. “It’s been a while, Mr. Frazier, Mr. Ruiz p>
“Linda, your events are becoming more impressive each time,” Richard Frazier said with admiration. “Combining the launch with the exhibition was a brilliant idea. The moment I entered, I could feel the artistic atmosphere. This will definitely be a success p>
“That’s right. We might need to rely on you more in the future,” Acton Ruiz added with a laugh.
After exchanging handshakes with both of them, Linda responded modestly, “It’s all because of everyone’s continuous support.” She then shifted slightly, allowing Kailey to stand beside her. “Let me introduce someone. This is Kailey Evans, the lead designer behind our latest quarterly collection p>
“Mr. Frazier, Mr. Ruiz,” Kailey said with a warm smile, reaching out her hand. “It’s really nice to meet you p>
Richard’s gaze brightened as he took her hand and shook it gently. “No wonder they say artists are special. Ms. Evans, you’re so young and already so capable. How is it that I haven’t met you before p>
