Chapter 684
Each guest was escorted upstairs by a hotel staff member.
Soon, Sarah and Sienna arrived.
"Austin!" Sarah greeted sweetly.
Austin responded with a gentle smile.
"Head on up first. I'll catch up with you after I finish here."
"Okay!"
Sarah nodded and linked arms with Sienna as they headed to the banquet hall. Meanwhile, Shein and Zachary got out of their BMW. Austin greeted Shein with a smile and a handshake. "Mr. Thompson."
"Thanks for the invitation," Shein said, his smile faint.
"The pleasure's all mine!" Austin responded, extending his hand to Zachary.
"Mr. Zachary."
Zachary ignored the greeting and walked to the car behind them to open the door. Queenie and Luna emerged from the car, both wearing thick down jackets and looking like chubby penguins.
"I-it's freezing!"
Luna shivered and clung to Queenie's arm while Queenie held Zachary's arm and pouted. "Do I really have to change into a dress? I feel so embarrassed!"
It was her first time attending such a big event, and Zachary had asked her to wear an evening gown. He even showed her photos from other business banquets, where all the women were dressed glamorously and revealingly.
Queenie didn't mind wearing such an outfit in front of Zachary, but the thought of doing so in front of strangers made her very self-conscious.
Zachary chuckled.
"You can always go for something less revealing. Like the long dress my mom wears!" Queenie sighed in relief.
"That's a relief. I'll have Josie help me pick one out later!"
Seeing that everyone had brought their partners as plus ones, Luna sighed.
"You know what, Queenie? I shouldn't have come with you. Everyone else is here in paired up but me. This is so awkward."
Zachary chuckled.
"Most of Riverland's entrepreneurs are gathered here today. Maybe one of the young entrepreneurs will be your perfect match."
Luna perked up when she heard that.
"You're right! Keep an eye out for any rich, handsome guys for me later, will you?"
The trio walked ahead, with Shein, Josie, and two bodyguards following behind.
"Whoa, a Rolls-Royce!" a young entrepreneur suddenly exclaimed, drawing everyone's attention.
"Who's the big shot inside that car?"
"Looks like it's the chairman of Aurora Holdings!"
"Aurora Holdings? Doesn't ring a bell."
"Me neither."
"You may not have heard of Aurora Holdings, but surely you've heard of Alumni Network?"
"Of course! Alumni Network has been the talk of the town lately! I even heard Hermès is looking to collaborate with them!"
"Alumni Network is one of the companies under Aurora Holdings. So is Dragonaire Studio!" "Really? The same Dragonaire Studio that's developing Journey Games?"
"Exactly!"
Everyone gasped in disbelief upon hearing this.
Although Journey Games was still in development, it had already made waves online. Even the gaming experts in the Widetalk Community were anticipating it would become a legendary title.
