Chapter 2717
Nicole chuckled and went on to encourage Lulu. "I sure will. Waiting for your good news."
"The banquet is in the evening. Let's head there after lunch," Lulu suggested.
"I'm fine with that," Nicole agreed, as she was not planning to go on an empty stomach.
Events such as these would usually provide wine and finger food instead of proper meals in large quantities.
"Nice, let's go grab lunch together." Lulu smiled.
Nicole nodded and walked into her office, while Lulu returned to hers.
Soon, it was lunchtime, and the two met up before heading out together.
"Ellison Group's annual celebration this year must be exceptionally grand, am I right? I heard many influential
figures in San Joto are coming over," Lulu asked.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLulu had been to annual banquets before, but this was her first time attending one considered to be grand and
high- budget.
"It should be." Nicole snorted.
Regardless of how elaborate and grand it would be, she still had very little interest in it.
"Well, with Harvey requesting your absolute presence, do you think he has other plans in mind?" Lulu wondered
with a frown.
"We'll find out when we reach." Nicole continued eating her lunch without a tinge of anxiety.
Nicole had already promised to attend the celebration. She figured that Harvey would not have the temerity to do
anything embarrassing to the both of them at the annual banquet. She also believed that he would know her
personality and style of doing things if he was not a complete imbecile.
After another few minutes of chit-chatting, the two leisurely finished their lunch and left for the banquet.
Then, they took a cab to the banquet venue, and upon reaching, they saw that some of the guests had already
arrived and were going to the ball.
"I think we're early," Lulu complained, looking at how sparse the crowd was.
If she knew that this was going to be the case, they would have stayed at the restaurant a little longer, since
showing up early would be a boring waste of time.
"Don't forget what you're here for," Nicole smirked as she reminded her.
"Oh yeah, you're right," Lulu nodded. "Let's get in then."
Lulu linked her arm with Nicole's, and together, they entered the venue.
The venue was stunningly decorated, with the hall exuding an air of elegance and grandeur. The atmosphere was
lively and cheerful, with everyone mingling and socializing. There, the waiters moved gracefully through the crowd,
offering drinks and snacks to each and every single one of the guests.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAs the waiters passed by Nicole and Lulu, they both took a glass of wine each and walked up to the crowd.
"Do you know any of them?" Nicole asked.
"Yep, I read and memorized their personal information beforehand." Lulu nodded in response.
Hearing that, Nicole chuckled. "In that case, I won't steal your spotlight."
"Don't worry. Just wait for my good news." Lulu smiled.
Then, they laughed and went on their merry way, with Lulu heading toward her targeted crowd, while Nicole
socialized with some of her business partners.
As the crowd grew, the scene got even livelier. However, there were no signs of Harvey, which puzzled everyone.
They were wondering why Harvey had not shown up at such an important event.
"What's that?" Someone screamed, capturing everyone's attention.
It was then that a few individuals entered the venue carrying with them a large bouquet of flowers. The bouquet in
question was so massive that it covered the faces of those carrying it.
