Chapter 268
After the speech, the ribbon-cutting ceremony began. novelbin
Neera and Sasha stood in the middle of the stage as they cut the red ribbon. They were bombarded with the roarsof the crowd. At that exact moment, golden confetti rained down on them.
This opening ceremony marked the launch of the first official Startales shop in the country.
Soon, when the doors were opened, the attendees barged in and began shopping for the cosmeceutical products.The whole place was bustling with excited voices.
Neera was satisfied with what she saw. She thanked Sasha profusely.
"Thank you for gracing our event. It’s partly thanks to you that we had such a good reception on the first dayitself."
"Your products deserve such attention. I’m only giving this event a small boost."
She smiled and continued, saying, "After all, Ms. Garcia, you helped me a lot, especially when I was embroiled inthat public opinion scandal. If you didn’t get your hands on evidence, I would still be at the heart of that scandal.What’s more, only good things have happened to me ever since. I have to thank you for that."
Neera knew that Sasha was just keeping up appearances.
The Beauvort Group was powerful enough to keep Sasha out of trouble no matter what.
However, Neera knew better than to burst her bubble. She was happy to see that Sasha had the intention offorging a good relationship with her.
Through this event, Neera discovered that Sasha was a forthright and frank person.
Sasha did not hesitate to return the favor, even though Neera had only helped her once. This was a rare trait forsomeone in the entertainment industry.
They continued to banter, but Neera felt a piercing gaze on her. She looked up and met Jean’s eyes.
She was surprised to see that he was nearby.
Her lingering surprise prompted her to excuse herself from Sasha and go up the stairs.
"Why are you here?"
She came to Jean and asked with a smile.
Jean took a sip of coffee. His tone was ever so nonchalant.
"I am here to survey my business, and coincidentally, today is also the day of your shop opening. The openingceremony caught my eye."
Jean was simply surveying his businesses, which were only natural.
Neera did not suspect his excuse at all. She thought it made sense.
However, Ian could not help but rant about his boss’ words internally. What does he mean? "Surveying thebusiness"? This is just a high-class shopping mall under the Beauvort Group. One of many such malls. We
usually send our representatives for any kind of business here. There’s no way we need the CEO to come herepersonally.
There was no doubt that Jean was here just to watch the opening ceremony of Startales!
He even postponed a few important meetings just to make it here.
Ian really felt amused by his boss’ antics!
However, both Neera and Jean did not notice that Ian was almost snickering at them. Neera watched the long linein front of the shop, and a huge grin hung on her face.
"It’s thanks to you that we had a successful first day of business. It seems that I owe you even more now."
Jean did not mind it at all, "The success of your products would bring in even more customers and profits for theBeauvort World. We are simply helping each other here, so don’t worry too much about owing me a favor."
After saying that, he looked at his watch and stood up.
"I have other matters to attend to, so I need to go now. When will you go back home tonight?"
Neera pointed at her shop downstairs and replied, "I figure that there are many things in the shop that need myattention today. I will reach home very late at night."
Jean nodded. "Alright, I won’t take up more of your time here. See you."
Jean and Ian left after that.
When they got into the car, Jean gave Ian an instruction.
"Go to the kindergarten and fetch the triplets."
Ian could not wrap his head around Jean’s request. He stared at him and said, "Sire, they are in their classes rightnow. Why do you need them?"
"I have a favor to ask from Sammy," Jean replied faintly.
Ian immediately understood.
It was about the company’s internal defense system!
Without a word, he nodded and drove to the kindergarten.
When they reached the kindergarten, they stated their intention to see the triplets.
The teacher gazed at them suspiciously. She asked, "I have never seen you two before. Who are you to the kids?"
Jean sank into a brief silence. Then, he blurted out, "I am their Daddy."
The teacher obviously could not believe him just yet. She continued to study him.
Jean looked handsome and successful at first glance. He did not seem like a bad guy.
However, the teacher thought that Jean had a cold demeanor!
However, the teacher concluded that his features resembled the triplets’ faces. That was what convinced her in theend.
In no time, the triplets were here.
"Harvey, is this your daddy?"
When they saw Jean, their eyes lit up. They nodded profusely, as if they could not wait to leave.
"That’s right! He’s our Daddy!"
The teacher felt relieved to see that they could recognize Jean. She then allowed them to leave with Jean.
