Amidst the anticipation of all the guests, Nell picked up the microphone.
He announced, ‘After discussions among the groups, the Lawson Group from Froanla has been
warded the collaboration for this project. Congratulations.”
The room erupted in applause.
Some felt disappointed, others exclaimed in surprise, while some praised the decision.
Sheena and Elliot remained the most composed, as this outcome was not unexpected.
As the applause continued, Sheena gracefully stood up, turned back, and nodded slightly to all the guests in the room, a gesture of courtesy and politeness.
She stepped onto the red carpet, making her way to the stage, where she shook hands with Neil, expressing her pleasure in the cooperation.
The media snapped photos of the handshake, and the camera lights flashed.
Sheena maintained a poised and elegant demeanor, exuding grace and charm.
With the bidding conference reaching this point, it was essentially over.
The groups that were not selected could only return empty–handed.
However, to everyone’s surprise, before Neil announced the end of the conference, he revealed
another piece of good news.
“Ladies and gentlemen, I have reviewed all the project proposals from the guest groups today.
After consultation, we have also identified another promising project and decided to prioritize cooperating with that company for the next project. ”
The guests in the hall became excited again, hoping that their company would be the one Neil
mentioned.
With much anticipation, Neil announced, “Congratulations to the AN Group. It’s an honor to
collaborate with your company on the next project.”
On the right side of the front row, a girl let out a soft gasp.
The AN Group belonged to Paulo, the man who visited the grand museum yesterday.
Amidst the thunderous applause, Paulo’s girlfriend hugged him excitedly.
“You planned this project. It’s all your credit,” Paulo said.
Thank you, Paulo, i love you,” she replied.
haring an intimate moment, the girl in the white dress stood up slowly, smiling and bowing humbly to all the guests in the room.
From Sheena’s angle, she could only see the girl’s back and a faint outline of her profile.
She squeezed Elliot’s hand tightly, her cold gaze narrowing.
“It’s her, that girl who looks like Sheila.”
Anne?
Sheena repeated the name in her mind countless times.
Not far away, Anne emerged from her seat, walking gracefully to the stage, where she shook hands with Neil in a friendly manner, all under the watchful eyes of the media and flashing lights.
It was not until Anne stepped onto the stage, smiling at the guests below, that Sheena could clearly see her face.
It was a face she did not recognize, not Sheila’s.
Compared to Sheila, Anne had a straighter nose, larger and clearer eyes, and a smaller jawline,
giving her a delicate and adorable appearance.
Her smile was warm and inviting, capable of warming hearts.
Sheena stared intently at her face, feeling that each of Anne’s features somehow echoed Sheila’s
charm.
Besides, was it possible for two people to have nearly identical silhouettes?
As she pondered, the glint in her eyes grew colder.
As the bidding conference came to an end, guests began to leave one by one.
Elliot suddenly received a phone call and went to a quiet corridor nearby to answer it.
From the moment Anne stepped off the stage, Sheena’s gaze remained fixed on her.
