CHAPTER 11: CHAPTER 11: LOOK, THOSE LONG LEGS!

Sylvanus Bay is located in the far east of Delphos City. It’s a vast freshwater lake with stunning scenery, where the lake and sky blend seamlessly and nature is exquisitely crafted. It’s a place visited by tourists from all around the world.

At the same time, it is also a venue for many events.

The hometown of the MK CEO is here, and it’s no surprise the event is being held here, possibly to enhance the prestige of the location and let more people know about MK.

Mutual achievements.

Six o’clock is when the sunset is at its fullest. A large area of red clouds is hanging at the horizon, with the sun nestled within, blending with the reddened lake by the evening glow, as beautiful as a masterpiece.

Luxury cars drive one after another into The Bayshore Grand Hotel. The red carpet stretches from the hotel lobby all the way to the street, with journalists stationed on both sides snapping away with their cameras.

The car stops outside the hotel lobby, the door opens, and Ava Sterling steps out.

"Snap! Snap!"

Countless shutter sounds echo all around, and flashlights keep flashing before Ava Sterling’s eyes.

Ava remains unmoved, stepping gracefully into the banquet hall.

MK initially started with trade, but somehow later switched to electronics. Now, the smartphones produced by them rank among the world’s top ten, with a burgeoning momentum.

She and MK have been long-time partners, but a crisis two years ago temporarily severed their connection, only to be restored over the past year.

This event’s core purpose is to promote MK’s new phone, and she is attending as MK’s spokesperson.

"Haha, Ava, it’s just been a few months, and how have you become even more beautiful? I’m just so enviously jealous!"

The lights in the hotel lobby gleam elegantly—it’s a masterpiece of design and extravagant materials that make everything breathtakingly beautiful under the accumulation of wealth.

Ava is dressed in a deep V, thin-strap black dress adorned with stars, her thick, long hair straightened and parted down the middle, reaching her waist and perfectly covering the allure of her neckline.

Her face is adorned with an exquisite makeup, further highlighting her naturally regal and alluring features.

It’s said that some are born lucky, and Ava is one who has undeniably been gifted by the heavens.

Upon her wrist is a moonlight-white silk shawl, and she steps with elegance in five-centimeter high heels encrusted with diamonds towards the person who complimented her.

"How can there be anyone as beautiful as you? You are MK’s red rose, incomparable to anyone."

Ava casually takes a champagne glass from the tray of a passing waiter and raises it, smiling at the person in the red dress with beautiful makeup.

The person before her is none other than Mavis, the PR manager of MK.

And also the lover of MK’s second-largest shareholder.

It is a well-known fact, yet everyone knows it but doesn’t speak of it.

"Haha, you are sweet-talking as always."

The two sip their drinks and chat, discussing topics such as beauty maintenance, but before long, Mavis leaves to greet other guests.

Tonight, there are quite a number of big shots here. As MK’s PR manager, Mavis certainly can’t take a break.

Ava is usually cool with strangers, not proactively engaging, but many attending this event tonight are acquainted with her.

Having been in the modeling industry for years and reaching her current standing, she knows quite a few influential people.

Soon, she begins to chat and laugh with familiar faces.

"Ava, I recall you have a little hobby, am I mistaken?" Suddenly, Ming Zhu, the editor of Z Magazine, leans in and whispers in Ava’s ear.

Z Magazine is one of the world’s major fashion magazines, with numerous models vying to grace their cover each year.

Once, Ava was among them.

But later, after securing her position as a supermodel, it became effortless.

Ming Zhu and Ava share a good rapport, akin to friends.

Raising her brows, Ava’s eyes appear to brighten: "Long legs?"

Seeing the sparkle in her eyes, Ming Zhu bursts into laughter instantly.

If it weren’t for the multitude of guests present, she would laugh to her heart’s content.

Nonetheless, even so, she attracts everyone’s attention. Ming Zhu smiles apologetically to them, pulling Ava to a quieter place: "Yes, long legs."

"Oh my!"

Ava’s goddess-like coolness vanishes instantly, she pats Ming Zhu’s shoulder eagerly: "Sis, you understand me so well!"

"Where, quick, let me admire!"

"Haha, you look like a client at this moment."

"Oh!"

Ava exhales deeply with regret: "Sis, I hate being in a woman’s body. Imagine if I were a man, how wonderful it would be."

"There’s your cheeky mouth!"

"Quickly say, I’m on pins and needles waiting."

"Is it going to appear tonight at the banquet? If so, my eyes will have a feast."

"Yes, it’ll make an appearance tonight, that person is..."

Suddenly, there’s a commotion in the banquet hall.
