Too many things had happened that day. The whole sequence of events were like a fever-induced dream to Kelly. First, she had never imagined that she would be invited to attend the live event. After witnessing the turn of events firsthand, the depression caused by the damage of her work had been swept away completely.
With a few more pictures, the whole journey would be complete.
After all, she had met Maddox as well as the famous celebrities Yvonne and Helen.
She had once been a nameless designer. Although her work was excellent, they couldn't be compared with those top-ranking and outstanding teams. Hence, she never dreamed that she would have such an opportunity.
After taking photos, a few sharp-eyed people noticed that Helen's skirt was very special.
They exclaimed in excitement, "Miss Lowell, the dress that you're wearing today is so unique. If I remember correctly, this is one of Shelly's works, isn't it?" Helen was about to leave the scene. However, she stopped in her tracks when that question was posed. Yvonne also stopped and looked at Helen in confusion. Helen revealed a small smile. "Your eyes are sharp. This is indeed Shelly's work." "I have seen this piece before when I was attending activities abroad. I heard that it was bid at an absolute high price by a mysterious man when it was first released. After that, it never appeared ever again. Many people didn't have the chance to even see it, but Miss Shelly has never designed a similar dress after that. May I ask, Miss Lowell, how did you get this piece of work? Did you bid for it with a huge sum o money?" Helen blinked as she searched for Minerva, who was seated in the audience. Minerva shook her head imperceptibly. Receiving her cue, Helen immediately reacted and laughed softly, "Well, about that, please take a guess." She initially wanted to drag Minerva up onto the stage. However, Helen respected her wishes. If Minerva was not willing to reveal her identity, then Helen would obey. Without denying not confirming, she gave a vague answer instead.
After that, she waved her hands. Gathering her dress, she then spun around in a circle.

When the reporters saw that, they rushed out of the scene with cameras in their hands, ready to wait for her at the back.
When Yvonne saw that, she was furious. However, her manager stopped her.
"Let it go. Don't get photographed by someone else. Let's just leave quickly." "Hmph, what's so great about that designer's work? Who is Shelly anyway? How cI've never heard of her? Why are they making a fuss over such a tiny matter?" After saying that, she turned and left. Thinking of the dress she was wearing, Yvonne was reminded of Quill, and then she smiled proudly.
As soon as she becQuill's wife, she would crush everyone else under her feet! As the event was drawing to an end, Minerva was about to leave with Vera and Kelly. However, just as she stood up, someone grabbed her wrist and pulled her back to her seat.
She turned around and saw Maddox holding her arm. He was staring at her thoughtfully.
"What are you doing? Let go." Minerva's words were harsh as she berated him.
Maddox narrowed his eyes. "What's with this shift in attitude?" Kelly and Vera blinked as they watched. Then, they sat back down in their seats as if they had seen nothing. Several people around them looked over, making Minerva a little embarrassed. She wanted to avoid their gazes and stares. Hence, she lowered her voice and said, "You should let go ofquickly. Everyone else is watching. Do you wish to be recognised by others at this press conference?" "So what if they recognise me?" Maddox raised his eyebrows.
That was right. Regardless of where Maddox went, he would be recognized anyway. Hence, there was no reason for him to worry.
In fact, it would be better to be recognized as he would receive their attention.
"Nothing," Minerva took a deep breath and said in a low voice. "Can you let go of me? I'm leaving now." "Sure." Maddox stared at her like a rogue. "Fine, I can let you go if you wantto but you have to addon Facebook." Minerva was dumbfounded.
She thought she had heard him wrong.
So, he blocked her way just to make her add him on Facebook? What was going on? Minerva blinked at him. "What did you say?" "You blocked me," Maddox said, full of resentment at that matter. After all, he had kept that event in mind at that time, hoping that Minerva would add him back as a Facebook friend. Therefore, he made sure to seize hold of that once-in-a-lifetopportunity.
After that, Maddox took out his phone and launched the Facebook app.
Minerva asked, "Once we're friends on Facebook, you'll letgo?" After hearing herself ask that question, Minerva thought that her brain must've been damaged. Why was she asking him such a question? "Yeah, I guess," Maddox urged her. "Quick, take out your phone." Minerva paused for a moment and looked back at Vera and Kelly.
Kelly blinked her eyes innocently and said, "It's just adding a Facebook friend. It won't cost you your life. Just add him." Taking in the situation, Vera nodded in agreement and said, "Yeah, that's right. Minerva, hurry up and add him!" "You traitors!" Minerva cursed internally.

Minerva shot them a glare. In the end, she took out her phone. Since om Maddox had been blocked previously, O she had no choice but to open her list of blocked accounts on Facebook to unblock him. "Done?" "You haven't addedas a friend yet." Instantly, she received a friend request from Maddox. Then, his tall body leaned towards her. His dominating aura was suffocating. "Quick, accept it." At that moment, he looked like a child asking for candy. Minerva felt helpless, but nevertheless she quickly accepted his request.
"Is that all?"
When Maddox received the notification on his phone that she had accepted his friend request, his lips immediately curved into a beautiful smile. Then, he thought of something and said coldly, "You are not allowed to unfriendwhen you go back!" Minerva could only respond, "You..." She just wanted to ask how he knew she would do that. However, after a brief thought, she felt that it was not necessary so she only nodded.
Tine, I won't do that. Can we leave now?" This time, Maddox was content to move his leg away. Minerva let out a sigh of relief and then got up to leave.
However, when she stood up, she realized that the heel of her shoe had broken. Just now, she was in a daze after speaking to him and she had forgotten about that matter.
"Ah, Minerva, your shoe is broken. What should we do?" Vera cried out in surprise.
Minerva sat down again. She looked at the bottom of her shoes and felt a little depressed.
She simply took off the other shoe and then held it in her hand. Stepping on the cold floor with her fair and tender feet, she said tender feet, she said in a low voice, "Let's just go out like this first." Seeing that, Maddox was dazzled by her snow-white feet. His eyes narrowed dangerously. In the next second, he suddenly stood up and lifted the barefooted Minerva by her waist.
