Chapter 325

The groundbreaking ceremony was about to kick off.

The empty seat next to her was getting filled up with all the big shots, people who were somebody in the world.

Maybe it was because she looks the part with her vibe and style, but a bunch of folks were hitting her up with small talk. Sophia just played it cool with a polite smile and chimed in now and then.

She was not exactly a social butterfly, not really into the whole mingling scene, so she kept it short and sweet when it came to these kinds of schmooze-fests.

Brandon's seat was still empty, probably still tied up with something inside.

After running into a brick wall with Don, Daniel and Patricia didn't get to meet the Vivian in person and had to head to the venue instead.

Their seats were right next to Sophia's, courtesy of Don's arrangement.

Patricia instinctively scanned the nameplates at the front rows as they arrived at the venue, but the name Vivian nowhere in sight.

She couldn't help but frown, leaned over to Daniel, and whispered, "Where's Vivian? Hadn't Don said that the head designer had already here?"

Daniel also took a quick look around the venue, not really bothered, "It's probably just hidden behind the crowd."

"I checked the first two rows, no name," Patricia insisted, a bit frustrated. Meanwhile, Sophia was already snagged a front-row seat.

Patricia couldn't help but knit her brows when she saw Sophia sitting quietly in the first row.

Daniel noticed that Sophia's seat was right next to Brandon's and frowned too, but since everyone was already settling in, he kept his cool.
