Chapter 26

The new product launch event, which the Austin Company just launched, was vivacious. Many business partners came, including Borneo.

Although the man was not specifically invited, he still took the time to attend an invitation from his business partner, Darren Ewald Gilbert.

The two handsome men also seemed to be involved in a warm conversation. "I'm glad to see you're back on track, Mr Gilbert."

"Thank you, Mr Borneo," Darren replied, combined with a smile.

Austin, who saw the conversation between the two, had no desire to approach. He chose to talk to Obsen.

"The model you chose was absolutely perfect, Mr Obsen. From the aura to the selling point. I'm sure thanks to your model, this product will explode in the market."

Obsen smiled. "It's all thanks to your hard work. My model is just helping."

Obsen's eyes caught Flower, who had finished the photoshoot inadvertently. "Baby, come here!" He called.

The called one immediately growled, annoyed. 'What a nasty man. What do you want, huh?' Flower muttered in her heart.

Although she was very annoyed, she still approached, combined with a smile that seemed forced.

"You called me?" She asked without a smile.

Obsen immediately snapped his index finger to signal the woman to reduce the distance. Flower exhaled roughly. Her anger has not subsided yet, but she was even more annoyed with Obsen Brossom's presumptuous act.

The man seemed to wrap one arm around her slim waist. She reflexively pushed his arm away. Unfortunately, the hug was not released but increasingly felt tighter.

"Let me go!" She hissed.

"Shut up, and don't protest too much!" Obsen whispered right in Flower's ear.

Of course, Flower immediately turned her face away. The discomfort that covered her face made Austin almost let out a sound. However, his movements were suspended by the question Obsen had just asked.

Exhalation of tired breath accompanied the roar of Flower's breath. She repeatedly rolled her eyes in disgust. The woman even seemed reluctant to respond to Austin's chatter trying to interact with her.

Fed up of being presented with the attitude of the crazy CEO, Obsen Brossom, she then threw him a sharp glance.

"Let go, or you will pay dearly for your impudence, Mr Obsen Brossom!" She hissed.

Unfortunately, the threat was simply ignored. Obsen would not be that easy to let go of Flower Carnabel. For him, a golden opportunity like this should not be wasted.

In fact, Flower's body was getting tighter and tighter in one jolt. Even a ray of light would not penetrate the gap between the two.

No doubt, many pairs of eyes were glaring at her with cynical looks, as well as Alexa Canberra. No one knew who invited the woman. What was clear was that Flower' super annoying rival also came to the event.

Not wanting to be the centre of attention, Flower tried to break free by pushing hard against the muscular body. As a result of the hard push, the hug was released so that her body staggered backwards.

"Ms Flow, watch out!" Austin shouted. The man rushed to help her, but her movement was too fast so that her slender body fell into Darren Ewald Gilbert's strong arms.

"Be careful, miss," Darren mumbled without knowing that the woman was the woman he hated the most for now.

"Thank you, sir."

Darren helped Flower to her feet, and her face made his eyes widen perfectly when he looked at her.

"You." He growled.

One word that slipped freely from his firm lips forced Flower to lift her face so that she met the handsome face owner.

She was no less surprised by Darren. "Shh, let go!" She roughly smashed his sturdy fingers parked neatly on her slender shoulders. "Don't take the opportunity in tightness!" Her voice was sarcastic.

Darren snorted. "Tch, take the opportunity in tightness? Are you not mistaken, Miss?"

Flower immediately raised her face defiantly. "Your brain is very easy to read. What a disgusting man!"

Not wanting to linger in a conversation with the man she hated the most, for now, she then walked away without even saying thank you.

"What an ignorant, ungrateful woman. If I didn't help her, her body would have fallen to the floor. I should have just let that ignorant woman fall. You suck!" Darren cursed. It was so quiet that no one heard, nor did Borneo, who was standing next to him.

"It looks like you two already know each other," said Borneo.

"Yes, that's true. Do you two know each other very well?" Austin added.

Darren rolled his eyes in exasperation, not wanting to engage in conversations about women, especially Flower Carnabel. He also changed the topic of conversation by talking about business.

"What about your plan to open a new branch, Mr Borneo? Will this be done soon?"

Borneo raised an eyebrow. "For the plan is likely to be realised next year."

The three handsome CEOs were still involved in hot conversations. Meanwhile, not far from them, there was a woman who seemed to be looking for the whereabouts of her model, Flower Carnabel.

"You're here. I've been looking for you everywhere." Karyl gently patted Flower' slender shoulder that made the owner turn her face to meet her eyes.

"You want?" Flower offered a glass of wine to her manager.

Karyl immediately grabbed the glass of wine and put it back on the table. "Don't drink too much. You have a photoshoot tomorrow morning. I don't want you to get drunk."

Flower patted Karyl' slender shoulders with a bit of pressure. "Drinking one glass won't get me drunk. Don't stop me!" She then tried to get the glass back, but her movement was interrupted by Karyl's blow.

"We'd better go home, now!"

"But, what about the..." Flower deliberately paused the sentence by advancing her face rhythmically in a whisper. "Crazy CEO?"

"Just ignore it! The most important thing is that your work is done, come on!" Karyl then guided Flower to a car that had been faithfully waiting for her arrival.

"Wait!"

A familiar voice forced both of them to turn their faces to the source of the voice simultaneously.

"Lexa, you called us?" Flower asked sarcastically.

The asked one walked over with one hand holding a glass filled with wine.

"Of course, I called you. Why are you in a rush, huh?"

Karyl immediately answered. "If you want to stay here, go ahead, but we have to get back right away, right now!"

Alexa lifted the corners of her lips. "No one's stopping you two from going, please." She smiled slyly.
