Her Seven Little Bodyguards

Seeing that Vania shirked from introducing the pendant, Melanie let out a sneer. Only then did she walk to the center of the crowd and say confidently, “As far as I know, this pendant is a recent design by Master Mia Stravinsky. It’s a special honor that the pendant is being shown to the public for the first time at the ‘Quest for Love’ appraisal event, which gives us the honor to be the first to see it. Master Mia is an expert in the design and carving of jewelry, and this pendant is no exception. It’s entirely carved out of marble… On closer inspection, I’d say Master Mia designed the pendant as an expression of her love.”

“That’s splendid of you, Miss Melanie! How impressive of you to be able to grasp so many design ideas so quickly!”

“I didn’t understand it at first, but your explanation really enlightened me, Miss Melanie.”

Some people even gauged Melanie’s mind and buttered her up, saying, “President Luke is a giant among men, whereas Miss Melanie is so erudite. They really make a perfect match.”

Melanie simply let these words of flattery go to her head. So what if Vania has just set me up? Right now, I’m still the center of attention at the event. And besides, this pendant is Master Mia’s work. Some people are guessing that she’s the organizer of this appraisal event. Even if she isn’t, she’ll definitely pay close attention to it. Perhaps she’ll take notice of me because of this.

Fantasy Daydream Jewelry, a jewelry brand under Luke Corporation, had always wanted to collaborate with Mia, but it hadn’t been able to get the opportunity. If I can help Hanson secure a collaboration with Master Mia, I’ll definitely hold a special place in his heart! Melanie hugged herself while indulging in wishful thinking.

Just then, Vania’s soft voice suddenly spoke. “Love is not love which alters it when alteration finds, or bends with the remover to remove: O, no! It is an ever-fixed mark that looks on tempests and is never shaken.”

Dumbfounded by her abrupt recitation from Shakespeare, everyone instantly turned their attention to Vania.
