Chapter 82

Emma's POV.

At the end of the forum, because of my exciting speech, I became a big star. Many people came to talk to me, take photos with me, and exchange contact information. I secretly breathed a sigh of relief. In the eyes of my peers, I finally had a firm foothold.

According to the usual practice, after the summit, the big shots in this industry would gather together to have a celebratory banquet.

Hector was the industry overlord and I was the chairman of the association. Of course, we had to attend.

We sat at the round dining table together, separated by a few people.

We used to be the closest couple, but we didn't say a word or even look at each other the whole time.

Strictly speaking, it was I who hadn't looked at Hector. He had been staring at me as if I were his enemy!

With a warm smile on my face, I clinked glasses with the guests with ease.
