Melissa sauntered toward the entrance with so much confidence that she almost forgot about Renny. Talking back to Celestine had made her feel good — powerful, even. She felt like she was on top of the world. But when she reached the entrance and stopped in front of the guard—
"Invitation, please."
The guard, completely unfazed by the chaos earlier, looked at her coolly.
"Oh." Realization struck, and she nodded quickly. "Actually, I'm coming as someone's plus one."
"Is the guest with you?"
"No, but you can check." She smiled brightly, still composed. "The guest's name is Renny. Mr. Renny Chun. He told me he already informed the head designer of MEG Fashion that he'd be bringing me along."
The guard studied her face for a second before nodding. He didn't move from his post but gave a silent signal to the other guard nearby, who immediately started checking the guest list.
Meanwhile, the reporters hovering nearby for follow-up questions exchanged puzzled looks.
