Chapter 21
The Spare Wife by Nadia Gordon
Chapter 21 The young woman was dumbfounded. Though Alanaâs designs were expensive, she did not expect them to be so costly. Her face instantly flushed.
Meanwhile, Abigail had no intention of minding other peopleâs business, but when the name âAlanaâ was involved, she could not stand it anymore and got up from the couch to approach the woman. âMiss Palmer, there are many guests at this banquet, so why donât you change into something new before continuing this?â
She did not remember designing Joanâs dress, but the gown on the young woman was her design. The butterflies on the hem of the dress were a laborious task, but she had only sold it for 45 thousand. Joan asked for 120 thousand for her dress-simply wishful thinking!
âItâs you?â Joan looked at Abigail and immediately recognized her as the assistant who helped her try on the wedding dress at L.Moon Studio. Also, she was one of the two women Sean was looking at when they were at the venueâs entrance. Feeling guilty and frustrated, she frowned. âDo you know where we are? How can they let just anyone enter this place?â
East Joy Talentâs banquets were private and usually held to pave the way for major entertainment programs. There were known directors, sponsors, producers, and several fashion design teams attending this banquet. All celebrities and influencers would try their best to show up to this event because getting support from any of those resources meant they had found the road to fame.
Joan could only rely on Sean to enter this banquet, so she dismissed the idea that a mere store employee could attend such an event fully dressed and still receive so many gazes. With that thought in mind, her expression became serious as she beckoned a waiter making his rounds over and ordered, âThis woman came in uninvited. Arenât you going to deal with her?â
When the waiter saw the situation, he immediately stopped in his tracks and approached Abigail. âMiss, please show me your invitation.â
âSince I managed to come in, it means Iâm invited.â Abigail gave him a cold stare and furrowed her eyebrows. âItâs just that the invitation is not with me.â
Chapter 21 In Your Dreams She had given hers to Luna to keep in her bag.
The waiter showed a short moment of hesitation while Joan had a sneer on her face. âIs the invitation not with you, or did you barge in uninvited? Just several simple pictures of tonightâs event are enough for an assistant like you to make a fortune.â
Her words were not only intended to ridicule Abigail but also to imply to the waiter. As if suddenly enlightened, the waiter pressured Abigail even more.
âMiss, please show me your invitation, or weâll have to escort you out.â
Abigail did not intend to cause any commotion at Kevinâs event, so she took out her phone to call Luna. However, she appeared busy as she did not pick up her phone after several calls.
The young woman in the blue dress seemed to notice Abigailâs awkwardness and spoke up apologetically, âItâs my fault. It has nothing to do with anyone else. Miss, thank you for your help.â
At that moment, Joan scoffed. âYouâre not only ignorant but also hungry for attention. You embarrassed me and said everythingâs fine? Who do you think you are? Do you think anyone can just step on me?â
The waiter also seemed frustrated. âMiss, if you keep this up, Iâll have no choice but to call for security.â Despite saying so, he did not give Abigail any time to react before waving his hand at the security guard, ordering, âTake this woman away and search her. Do not let her bring any information related to this event outside, and make sure to check her phone, just in case she has taken any pictures she shouldnât have!â
The security guards strode over to Abigail, and the one in the lead sna tched away her phone, cutting off her contact with the outside world. He even unlocked her phone and tried to look at her photo gallery. They were still trying to get an explanation before, but now, they were trying to invade her privacy.
âHow can you do that? Youâre invading her privacy. Itâs illegal!â Before Abigail could say anything, the young woman spoke up for her and went over to grab the phone. Sadly, she was pushed away.
Consequently, she lost her balance and almost fell as she was wearing high heels. Abigail reached out to catch the young woman, whose face turned gloomy. She looked at the men before her and ordered, âBring me to see Kevin. He will tell you the answer.â
Since he was the one who gave her and Luna their invitation, meeting him would be easier than looking for Luna. However, the waiter smiled. âMiss, everyone who tries to sneak in here is after Mr. Stewart. What do you think a man like him does if he were to meet everyone?â
It was clear that they had experienced many cases of such tricks. As such, the waiter waved his hand and urged the security guards, âTake her away, quick.â
