CHAPTER 101: CHAPTER 101: AT THE PRESS CONFERENCE VENUE

When The Lynches held their online product launch, Seraphina Sinclair had no interest in watching, but before it ended, Irene Rowe’s call had already come through.

"Hello, BOSS! Did you see The Lynches’ new product? I think the software they released is very similar to Cloudsea Group’s fall new release!"

This collaboration was jointly carried out by Kevin and Cloudsea, so Irene Rowe had some understanding of this product launch.

Although only the people from Cloudsea Group had seen the final product, the general operating model had already been exposed to the upper echelons of both companies.

"I know, don’t worry, the launch will go on as scheduled."

Recalling Austin White’s words from yesterday, Seraphina, despite her concern, reassured Irene.

Irene understood that Seraphina couldn’t say much, maybe due to the company’s strategic plans, so she didn’t ask further.

In the blink of an eye, it was the day of the press conference.

Cloudsea Group’s fall launch was held in the morning, requiring all the top executives to be present.

And as Kevin Group was Cloudsea Group’s biggest partner, they naturally had to send representatives to attend.

When Seraphina woke up, a gift box was placed on the nightstand.

Seraphina was initially curious, but then she thought, since only four people lived in this villa, the clothes must have been left by Desmond Fairchild.

Immediately she felt energized, got out of bed, and stood before the mirror.

It was a dark red standard evening gown. The V-neck design could reveal one’s figure perfectly, and most of the back being exposed was quite challenging for the wearer’s back curve, but on Seraphina, it fit perfectly, showcasing her stunning figure to the fullest.

However, what shocked Seraphina the most was that Desmond Fairchild had never asked her measurements, yet he could select a dress size that fit so perfectly.

"Are you up?"

Just then, Desmond suddenly arrived, gently knocking on Seraphina’s door.

Seraphina responded, then immediately tugged at the hem of her dress and walked to the door, opening it.

When she saw Desmond’s attire, her eyes filled with disbelief.

"What? Does my outfit look bad? Or am I just too handsome?"

Seeing Seraphina stunned, Desmond raised an eyebrow.

"Oh, nothing. I just didn’t expect you to choose outfits for couples."

Seraphina wasn’t surprised by anything peculiar in Desmond’s attire, mainly by the unexpected matching style of his clothes.

Today, Desmond’s clothes were the same color as her dress, predominantly dark red. Such a striking color matched perfectly on Desmond, and the two outfits made their connection instantly clear.

"What’s wrong with matching outfits? Don’t you like it?" Desmond, hearing her words, was a little displeased.

Seraphina quickly explained, "No, but today is the launch, is it really okay for us to dress like this?"

Desmond, seeing her response, finally felt at ease, taking her hand, "I want everyone to know that you, Seraphina Sinclair, are my woman."

As soon as he finished speaking, Seraphina’s face instantly reddened.

"It’s almost time, let’s hurry to the launch site."

This press conference was hosted by Cloudsea Group, so naturally, the location was in Cloudsea Group’s media hall.

After getting in the car, Seraphina couldn’t help but feel a bit nervous.

Recalling the previous events she attended after returning to the country, none were really perfect.

But the importance of this event evidently couldn’t be compared to the previous ones.

Moreover, The Lynches’ newly released software yesterday was clearly very similar to today’s new product from Cloudsea Group, making Seraphina unable to rest easy.

Sitting next to Seraphina, Desmond could obviously sense her nervousness, immediately reached his large hand out to Seraphina, and held her hand tightly.

"Don’t worry, I’m here."

His voice was like a spell that slightly eased Seraphina’s chaotic heart.

Soon, the two arrived at Cloudsea Group.

Just getting out of the car, Seraphina and Desmond were besieged by a few reporters lurking in the parking lot, and Seraphina’s nervous emotions couldn’t help but show.

In the end, her emotions had not been very stable recently, although she could engage in normal communication and conversation usually, her emotions would involuntarily become flustered when stimulated.

Desmond protected Seraphina behind him, looking at the reporters rushing forward in droves, and couldn’t resist feeling a bit annoyed, also darkening his face, "If I see a single piece of news about the parking lot tomorrow, I promise the publisher won’t be able to make a living in Bayside City!"

After speaking, Desmond immediately took Seraphina swiftly away.

To prevent another incident in the parking lot, Desmond specifically brought Seraphina in through the back door of the company.

At the same time, Ace was already waiting at the back door.

Seeing Desmond and Seraphina enter, he immediately came up, took the bag from Desmond, and then reported the on-site situation: "President Fairchild, today the media presence is quite comprehensive, besides the economic media, some comprehensive media platforms have also come."

While speaking, the group hurried towards the media hall.

Desmond didn’t answer Ace but nodded, indicating he already knew and motioned for him to continue.

"President Fairchild, there is one more thing to report." At this point, Ace’s tone suddenly became hesitant.

"Just say it straight."

"Among the media present today, some had previously reported on your brother Eric Holt, so I assume they have other motives."

Ace was only focused on setting a trap for the Lloyd Family, indeed there was negligence in screening the media.

Mentioning Eric Holt brought a shadow to Desmond’s eyes.

Back when his father passed away, Cloudsea Group was in turmoil, and coincidentally at that time, Eric returned to the Fairchild Family to claim his heritage, plus some ill-intentioned relatives from the Fairchild Family, Bayside City’s media had put this event at the top of the trending list for quite a while.

But later on, no one knew what tactics Desmond used to make Eric, who was tightly embraced by the Fairchild sidelines, mysteriously disappear overnight.

But only he knew that Eric was sent to Y Continent by himself.

Now speaking of it, there has been no news of this "brother" for a long time.

"It’s just a trivial matter, nothing to worry about."

Desmond thought it was a big deal, but it was just a few media outlets, not worth mentioning.

Even if they dared to cause trouble, Desmond had ways to settle all of them.

"Desmond, are those media... really safe? Maybe I shouldn’t attend."

Hearing about the dubious media, Seraphina hesitated.

To her personally, the outside rumors were indeed negligible, but she didn’t want to bring this negative news to Desmond.

Especially at such an important moment.

"We’ve prepared for so long, wouldn’t it be a pity for you to leave last minute?"

As soon as Desmond heard that Seraphina wanted to bail, he immediately reached out, holding her hand tightly, giving her no chance to escape.

Certain things couldn’t be avoided by running away.

"But..."

"Seraphina, trust me, no matter what kind of abyss you’ve been through, I will pull you out." Desmond looked at her, his expression so serious that Seraphina was left speechless.

Taking a breath, she still walked out with him to the media hall.

Watching Seraphina’s appearance, Desmond couldn’t help but pull the corners of his lips into a smile.

As time was nearing, most of the media scheduled to arrive at the site were already in place, seeing Desmond and Seraphina, they immediately took out their equipment and began shooting their way.

Desmond first sat Seraphina down in the VIP seat, then signaled to the host on the stage, and the press conference thus began.
