Chapter 144
On Friday, the Architects officially opened for business.
Since it was Dempsey Architects’ first venture into the domestic market, they went all out with a big opening ceremony to make some noise.
The ceremony was set up in the Starlight Group’s first-floor reception hall, and the headquarters really put on quite the show.
Don, as the head honcho of the new branch, was hustling from the crack of dawn to get everything ready for the big day.
One moment he was checking the stage lighting, the next he was double-checking the guest list to avoid any unexpected hiccups.
Kent was right there with him, buzzing around like a busy bee.
By the time they wrapped up, there was less than half an hour left before the auspicious moment to kick things off.
Guests were trickling in steadily.
Don and Kent were casually greeting the newcomers while sneaking peeks at their watches and scanning the crowd, with Don asking, “Where’s your boss?”
“Probably holed up in his office.”
Kent responded in a hushed tone while smiling and nodding at guests.
Don frowned, “What’s he doing in there? Isn’t he coming down?”
Kent glanced at him and quipped, “What do you think?”
Don was momentarily thrown off, “Huh?”
Kent nudged him, “Have you picked your design director yet?”
