Chapter 178 Celebratory Drinks Before Sarah could finish her words, Kaylee was already annoyed at
her actions. “Why did you run? Didn’t I ask you to stroll over and take a casual look? You looked like
you were going to steal something. What if they returned and bumped into you?” Sarah waved her
hands. “They won’t be back.” Confused, Kaylee blurted out, “What?” Her hands clasped on her knees,
Sarah panted for some time before she resumed talking. “They are sold out. Not one item was left.”
The news shocked Kaylee, and her eyes widened. “What did you say? They are really sold out?”
Nodding, she was shocked by the sight as well. Even though it was her guess to begin with, she never
took it seriously because the possibility of selling out on the first day was close to nil. She recalled the
opening day of Kaylee’s studio when they had sold about five items. Back then, Kaylee even thought
that it was a decent result How could Gianna’s studio sell out within half an hour? Kaylee stumbled

speed at which the items sold out was mind-boggling.
“How many items did they prepare?” She asked numbly. Sarah answered, “They had at least twenty
items on their mannequins, but the total amount of products is definitely more than whatever is on the
mannequins. Anyway, there’s nothing left on the mannequins.” Kaylee’s soulless eyes wandered over
to the studio across the street. She recalled that she had prepared about forty pieces of work for her
studio opening. Judging by Gianna’s grand opening, Gianna must have had more than twenty pieces in
stock.
Gianna showed no mercy.
At the hotel, the banquet was nearing an end. As the host, Gianna had to go around and toast the
guests. Although she was a good drinker, two hours of toasting the individuals made her tipsy. Her
footsteps were unsteady, whereupon she lost her coordination and almost toppled over. Thankfully,
someone grabbed her at that moment. In a moment of panic, she turned around to look at her lifesaver
before breaking into a smile. “Silas?” Silas was frustrated. “I know you’re a heavyweight, but you can’t
go on like this. It’s fine to down a glass at each table, but you can’t toast every single guest!” Her
cheeks flushed and her gaze hazy; she squinted her eyes into a crescent shape with a smile. “I’m
happy!” He took her arm and pampered her, saying, “I know you’re happy today. Leave the rest to me.
Please take a seat.” She fired back, “No. I can’t be unfair. There’s only one table left. I can do it!” “What
if I toast them on behalf of you? Is that fine?” Silas wanted to reach a compromise. Gianna blinked her
eyes at him in the middle of a daze and shook her head. “No.”
Silas frowned. “Why not? I’m one of the stakeholders.” Why did she have to keep him at arm’s length?
Gianna knitted her brows in response and sternly reasoned, “You will have to drive later.” Upon hearing

approval. “Well, that works.” He found it frustrating and funny that she was reluctant to take his advice.
Leading her to the final table, he noticed that the guests were all close acquaintances. Due to their
close relationships, everyone could tell that Silas was ready to toast on behalf of Gianna. Therefore,
those who did not plan to drink insisted on toasting Gianna for fun. The first one to joke around was
Marcus. Stealing a look at Silas, he raised his glass at Gianna with a smile. “Gianna, you’re the boss
because it’s your opening day. I’ll toast you. I’m not going to repeat the cliche well wishes because I
know that your business will do well. I shall wish you good companionship and happiness.”
She beamed at him. “Thanks, Marcus.” The next second, she lifted her glass in an attempt to down the
alcohol. Seeing that, Silas grabbed her glass and explained, “Gianna had too much to drink. I’ll take
this for her.” Marcus smiled slyly. “Hey, that’s against the rules! I know that you hold stakes in the studio
business, but you’re different from Gianna. You can drink on her behalf, but you’ll have to do double!”
