Save Myself from Desperation by Cara Agnes

Chapter 138

The banquet hall was decked out in high fashion, bustling with elegantly dressed guests. A magnificent chandelier hung overhead, casting a dazzling light throughout the room. Even the chairs in the resting areal were designed in unique, irregular shapes, adding to the modern vibe.

Many guests glanced occasionally at one particular chair, distinguished only by a name tag labeled Attelia, stirring curiosity.

Her name alone seemed to captivate everyone’s attention.

Though Attelia had not yet arrived, reporters were already snapping photos of her chair from every angle, rushing to post them online, eager not to be outdone by their peers.

After taking his photos, a male reporter noticed a female reporter beside. him and curiously remarked, “Is that dress you’re wearing from the Ramos Group’s latest collection? The one designed by Jessica?”

The woman nodded with a conflicted look. “Yes, I was immediately struck by this dress when it launched and couldn’t wait to buy it. But then, at yesterday’s Design Exchange Competition, Jessica was accused of intentionally knocking over a water bottle to ruin Ashley’s design sketches.”

“Alas, Jessica may have a questionable character, but I really love this. dress she designed. I struggled with whether to keep it or not. Then I decided to wear it today and then put it away, never to wear it again.”

The reporter was torn. She loved her dress, yet someone of dubious character designed it. She worried about gossip if she wore it out.

But she couldn’t bring herself to throw it away either, deciding to indulge just this once before vowing never to buy from the Ramos Group again.

The male reporter, understanding her dilemma, patted her shoulder comfortingly and wanted to say something. Just then, Jessica and Frankie arrived at the banquet hall.
