Chapter 470: His Invitation
Chapter 470: His Invitation
A year later, VK was no longer a small workshop freely copied by peers, but had moved into the CBD building.
This news, once released, caused quite a stir in the industry.
Nora Northwood was so busy she didn’t even have time for lunch; it was Yvonne Winslow who remembered her and sent coffee and snacks to her office.
"Health is the foundation of revolution, no matter how busy you are, don’t forget to eat."
Yvonne, like a caring sister, always appeared when others most needed concern. She knew that Nora Northwood and Jasper Sinclair’s marriage had hit a bit of a snag.
"For next week’s ribbon-cutting ceremony, should we send an invitation to Mr. Sinclair?"
She referred to Mr. Sinclair, not The Sinclair Group.
Nora didn’t want to bind VK to The Sinclair Group, hence she rarely mentioned outside that Jasper Sinclair was an investor.
Very few people knew this, and Yvonne was one of them.
"According to the norm, he should indeed be invited to attend," Nora replied ambiguously.
"And if it’s not according to the norm?"
Nora’s lips curved into a smile; she knew Yvonne understood her meaning.
"I don’t want VK to be overly entangled with him."
She wanted VK to stand out on its own merits, rather than have people think of Jasper Sinclair first when they heard VK’s name.
"Or, he could attend as your husband," Yvonne probed, ultimately hoping their relationship could restore to its former state.
During this period, Nora had trapped herself in work, working day and night, rushing proposals.
She thought she hid it well, but little did she know everyone saw her loneliness.
With no conclusion from their discussion, Nora said with a headache: "Send the invitations to other brands first, we’ll decide about his a few days later."
"Okay, the latest deadline is July 4th."
VK’s invitations, once sent out, immediately received responses from several companies.
Some came, others didn’t.
However, the brands Nora most wanted to invite didn’t respond, like stones sinking into the sea.
Ultimately, VK’s influence in the perfume industry was still lacking a bit.
At this time, less than seventy-two hours remained until the ribbon-cutting ceremony, and Nora was frazzled, thinking about how to attract more peers to attend.
Just when she thought there was no resolution, The Sinclair Group’s official account reposted VK’s Weibo article, with accompanying text: "See you at VK on July 7."
Soon, VK’s sent invitations received more replies, even those brands Nora had been following came to congratulate.
She knew, this was certainly Jasper’s doing.
No matter how she tried, she couldn’t escape from this man’s grasp.
This act by Jasper not only expanded VK’s fame but also indirectly sought an invitation.
Finally, Nora personally sent a digital version to his WeChat.
The dialogue box between the two stayed on the screen, Nora noticed he had changed his WeChat avatar to a photo taken in France a few months ago.
Going back to a week earlier, they hadn’t communicated for a long time.
"Mr. Sinclair, VK ribbon-cutting ceremony, I hope you attend as an investor." Two brief sentences, officially as official can be.
Nora didn’t rush to send it, conflicted about whether to change the "investor" title.
Just as she was caught in indecision, a voice call popped up from the opposite side.
