Chapter 523 See Annie's Face
Finally In the anticipation of all the guests, Dakota picked up the microphone and said, "After the discussion of the group, the partner of this project goes to the McGraw Group from the United States.Congratulations."
Applause broke out at the scene.
Some were disappointed; some exclaimed, and some praised.
Viola and Ormand were the calmest because this result was as expected.
Amidst the applause, Viola stood up gracefully and turned around to nod at all the guests at the scene.It was courtesy and politeness.
She stepped on the red carpet and walked up to the stage step by step, shaking hands with Dakota in front of everyone, indicating happy cooperation.
While the two were shaking hands, the media present began to take a picture of them.
Viola looked elegant and generous.
At this point, the bidding was basically over.
The groups that were not chosen could only return empty- handed.
However, they did not expect that Dakota would announce another piece of good news before the end of the bidding.
"Everyone, I have read all your proposals.After discussion, we have also taken a fancy to another proposal with great potential.We have decided that the next project will be prioritized for cooperation
with the winning group."
All the guests at the scene instantly became excited again, hoping that the name announced by Dakota could be their own company.
Under their expectations, Dakota slowly said, "Congratulations to AN Group.It is an honor to cooperate with your company for the next project."
On the right side of the first row, a girl's soft exclamation sounded.
AN Group was Hoare's headquarters, the man who visited the museum yesterday.
Under the applause, Hoare's girlfriend hugged him excitedly.
Hoare said, "This project was planned by you.It was all thanks to you."
"Thank you, Hoare.I love you."
After the two called each other intimately, the girl in the white dress slowly got up and bowed to all the guests at the scene with a humble attitude.
In Viola's direction, she could only vaguely see the back of the girl and the side of her face.
"It's her, the girl who looks like Max," she said, clenching Ormand's hand tightly.
Annie? Viola repeated the name countless times in her mind.
Not far away, Annie walked away from her seat and slowly walked on stage, shaking hands with Dakota in a friendly manner, and under the witness of all the media and flashes.
It wasn't until she went on stage and smiled at the quests below that Viola could see her face clearly.It was a strange face, not bearing a resemblance to Max.
Compared to Max, Annie had a higher nose bridge, bigger and clearer eyes, and smaller lower jawbones, making her whole face look small and cute.
When she smiled, she was very friendly and could warm people's hearts.
Viola stared at her face, vaguely feeling that each of her facial features together seemed to have the charm of Max.
What was more, their backs were almost exactly the same! She pondered, and the temperature in her eyes grew colder.
The bidding ended, and all the guests left one after another.
Ormand suddenly received a call and ran to the quiet passageway to answer the call.
Ever since Annie got off the stage, Viola had been staring at her.
Seeing that she was chatting with Hoare, Viola walked over in her high heels.
"Ms.Simpson, you're so amazing.You look so young, but you can complete the project by yourself, and Mr.Grenier also took a fancy to you personally."
Hearing her voice, Annie turned around gently and smiled in a friendly manner.
"I'm still not as excellent as you, Ms.McGraw.After all, I only won the next cooperation.You are the winner of this cooperation.I should congratulate you."
When they got closer, Viola listened carefully to her voice and felt that it was a little hoarse.
That wasn't what a girl's voice should sound like.
"What's wrong with your voice? You seem to be more mature than other girls of your age."
Viola was being tactful.
Hoare, who was still handsome in his forties, naturally wrapped his arms around Annie's thin waist and helped her explain, "Annie has always had this voice since she was young, but I really like it.It's very pleasant and special."
Viola kept her eyes on Annie's face and asked casually, "How old is Ms.Simpson?"
Hoare answered, "21."
21? Viola calculated that if Max was still alive, she should be 20 years old.
Annie said, "Ms.McGraw, you kept staring at my face.Does my makeup run?"
"No,"
Viola replied with a smile, "Ms.Simpson, your makeup is exquisite.You make me feel intimate.There's always a sense of familiarity."
Annie smiled, pure and playful.She didn't say anything.
"I remember that Mr.Moore and Ms.Simpson come from the Netherlands.Why are you so fluent in English when you talk to me, Ms.Simpson?"
"I studied in the United States for a few years."
Annie looked calm.
"I also like the United States very much.I think it is a very beautiful country.If there is a chance, I will go there again."
Viola also smiled, "Ms.Simpson, welcome to the United States as my guest.If you come there, you can call me.I'm very happy to be your tour guide and promote my country's customs."
"Well, thank you for your hospitality, Ms.McGraw."
The two looked at each other and nodded.
Hoare held onto Annie's shoulders and left the hall.
Even after the two left, Viola was still standing on the spot.She recalled every move of Annie in her mind.She still felt Annie a little strange.
However, Max had been the movie queen many times, so it was easy for her to hide her tricks and act like a simple girl.
Thinking of this, Viola took out her phone.
She wanted to call Jimmy directly, but considering that it should be at night in the United States, she didn't know if Jimmy was sleeping, so she chose to text him.
Viola: "Check if there is a name called Annie Simpson on the business banquet list last time.Focus on searching for her personal information and everything about her."
After sending the message, she turned off her phone and put it into her branded bag.
Ormand had already finished his call and quickly returned.He looked cold and sullen.
Viola almost immediately sensed the displeasure and anxiety in him.
"What happened? Who is it?"
Ormand lowered his head.He had wanted to hide it, but Viola saw through him in an instant.
Viola looked at his expression and said in a serious tone, "Tell me, did something happen to Aedan and Mila?"
Ormand clenched his fists.
"Just now, Leia called to say that it had been raining the entire day yesterday in Salt Lake City.The temperature has plummeted, and it's a little cold.Maybe because when she brought Aedan and Mila to the garden to play, they accidentally caught a cold..."
"Get to the point!"
Viola scolded in a low voice.
"The babies are having a fever," Ormand said, taking a deep breath.
