Chapter 21 – Her Identity
The press conference started at 5pm in the lobby of the 7-star hotel where the welcome bash was being held.
Vivian watched the press conference on the TV while getting her hair and makeup done.
Jonathan guided a woman whose face was covered in the veil on her headpiece.
Her figure and profile seemed the same as that of Jennifer but Vivian had a bad feeling in the pit of her stomach.
Anxiety that she could not make sense of settled in and Vivian was so uneasy that even the makeup artist could tell something was wrong.
“Are you alright, Miss Stone?” He asked.
“Yeah. Perhaps I ate something bad in the afternoon. I am feeling a little queasy. Can you please get me some water?” Vivian had to give an excuse.
Shortly after a try full of plain water, juice, coffee, and tea were placed in front of her.
Vivian smiled and continued with the make-up.
On the other side, there was a buzz in the press conference.
Since all the people invited by Smith Group were professionals, it only took a few minutes for the host to silence everyone.All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.
Finally, the press conference began.
“Miss, why are you in a veil? Could you show us your face?” A reporter asked.
“This is a new piece designed by a secret budding designer in L&L. I wanted to showcase her first-ever piece since the designer is personally very important to me. Hence I am dressed like this for this event and our first-ever cooperation.” Liliana answered.
She slowly raised her veil and showed her face.
There was a silence in the hall as everyone had expected to see Jennifer’s face underneath the veil.
Vivian choked on the juice she was drinking on seeing Liliana on the stage.
How could it be her?
The makeup artist looked at her with a strange expression but she reverted back to her professional smile within half a second.
Vivian acted nonchalantly and continued with her makeup. There was no way she could back down now.
On the stage, even the host was stunned.
Liliana laughed after a few seconds and joked, “I did not think I was so pretty to stun everyone to silence.”
They broke out of their trance at that and started questioning.
The host picked the questions one by one as Liliana and Jonathan answered professionally.
“I have no idea what Miss Vivian Stone had been doing or what she intended to imply. She has seen me as her rival since we were in Kings High.”
“Even when she did not know I was the person behind L&L Designs, she still saw me as a rival. As such I am not the correct person to answer your questions.”
“As for the person in the news, I am sure there are hundreds of people who go to see Mr. Smith every day.”
“After all, being a CEO is not all glamorous as it looks. It’s a difficult and tiring job which requires more working hours than any other person in the company.”
Without giving an inch, Liliana debunked the rumors that Vivian knew who she was, or that she and Vivian could be friends, and she implied that the person in the pictures could be anyone.
