The celebration dinner was something she didn’t really need to attend, as she wouldn’t receive any of the honors.
But Justin Kingston took the initiative to find her and personally extended an invitation, so Monica Usher couldn’t bear to refuse, feeling it was an honor.
She wanted to say a few more words to him, "Justin..." but he turned and left.
That sense of distance made her heart cold once again.
Not only did Justin invite Monica Usher, but he also invited all the members of the design department and the company’s executives.
The celebration dinner was grand, as the Queen of Eldoria would also attend.
The Kingston Group employees had a strong sense of collective honor. Although the draft wasn’t their design, overcoming the crisis was a good thing, so most designers were in a good mood attending the dinner. Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on novᴇlfire.net
"Who designed the draft that the Queen favored? Do you know?"
"I heard it was CEO Kingston’s old manuscript, and Mrs. Kingston gave it to the Queen."
"Wasn’t she nervous?"
"I don’t know, but for now, the Queen seems quite satisfied."
Mia Lane undoubtedly became the focus tonight, her long hair reaching her waist giving off a serene and delicate beauty, her hair like a waterfall, making her face as fair as jade.
The Queen held her hand, and she conveyed a sense of calm humility, with an air of dignity without arrogance.
Monica Usher didn’t even have the chance to get close to the Queen. She was so jealous!
Only Barbara Sutton stayed by her side, understanding her inner pain.
Monica Usher drank three glasses of wine in a row.
"President Usher, you shouldn’t drink any more, it’s not appropriate tonight."
But she held two glasses of wine, "I know my limits." She walked toward the man not far away.
"Hey..." Barbara Sutton was helpless.
Under the bright moonlight, next to the clear pool, Justin Kingston appeared serene, his figure tall and upright.
Monica Usher handed a drink to him, "What are you thinking about?" Her lips carried a gentle smile.
Justin Kingston returned to his senses and reached out to take it.
The woman proactively clinked glasses with him and then drained her glass in one go, "The work was designed by you, wasn’t it?" she probed.
At first, Justin Kingston didn’t understand her meaning until she continued her sarcasm, "Letting Mia Lane pick up a big bargain. You could actually come to me for such things, I’m more professional than she is."
Justin Kingston said, "The work was designed by her."
Monica Usher wasn’t surprised at all because she simply didn’t believe it, "Those who don’t know might think she’s some famous designer. You’re promoting her so hope she will enter the company’s design department?"
"My wife, as Justin Kingston’s, do you think she needs a job?" His tone was neither light nor heavy.
Monica Usher saw a hint of tenderness in his deep gaze.
At this moment, Mia Lane walked toward them, seeing Monica Usher there, but she did not stop.
Monica Usher’s gaze inadvertently fell on her, and an idea popped into her mind, so she stepped towards Mia Lane.
Just as the two were about to pass each other, Monica Usher subtly stretched out her foot to trip her.
Mia Lane, unprepared, was successfully tripped by her, her body pitching forward!
Justin Kingston turned his eyes at the sound!
He instinctively reached out to catch her in his arms, the immense force turning him around in a circle!
Mia Lane’s crystal shoe lightly brushed over the pool surface like a dragonfly, creating a small beautiful ripple!
She instinctively clung to Justin Kingston’s neck, her entire body hanging onto him.
Monica Usher was dumbfounded, for the surrounding applause was thunderous, with everyone looking at them with envious eyes.
Mia Lane steadied herself and deliberately looked at Monica Usher.
Startling her, she quickly stepped away!
Justin Kingston followed his wife’s gaze and quietly asked, "Was it she who tripped you?"
"What do you think?" Mia Lane clung to his neck, gazing at him from a close distance, "Will you stand up for me? Fire her?"
