The Number One Star in the Interstellar Era

Chapter 478 LAUNCH PARTY (II)

“HERE you are, our newest ambassador,” Mr. Cook greeted Astrid with a delighted expression on his face. Truly the opposite of his expression when they first met.

Astrid resisted the urge to raise his brow. When they first met, Mr. Cook was obviously full of worry. Not to mention, the fact that he was most likely not in approval of him being the ambassador of their new perfume product. But he couldn’t really voice that out because of Casey. Now that everything obviously went well, of course, the dissatisfaction he felt for him was now gone. As evidence by the other’s bright smile.

Astrid also smiled—his business smile, of course. “Hello, President Cook. I hope we’re not too late.”

“Of course not. Everyone just arrived as well,” Mr. Cook said, waving his hand.

“Glen, shouldn’t you introduce us to this young man first?” one of the man talking to Mr. Cook earlier said.

“That’s right,” agreed by the other.

Mr. Cook introduced the two to Astrid, and he greeted them politely. Just like what Ellis said earlier, the two were both executives at EMMA. n0𝓋𝔢𝗅𝑢𝕊𝚋.𝐂0𝓂

“You did a good job on this ad campaign,” one said. “The sale of this perfume is skyrocketing because of your amazing performance.”

Which would probably be very unlikely for the time being. Because if that happened, it meant that his mother and father’s real identity had been exposed. By that time, they would have more worries than the possibility of Anthony Grimaldi asking for forgiveness. Like the Lancaster family, for example.

His thought was cut off when he felt a strong gust of wind passing by him. No, it’s not a ‘gust of wind’ but rather the Mr. Cook and the other two executives running past him to meet Casey, or rather, the duke.

It was not only them, even those other high-profile people present rushed to greet the duke. Amazing. Was this the power of a noble?

“That’s Duke Grimaldi,” Ellis said on the side, probably thinking that he might not know the other. “Have you met him?”

Since Ellis knew about him and his brother accidentally saved the young master of the Grimaldi family, so it’s only natural for her to think that he might have already met the duke.

“No. This is the first time I saw him,” Astrid said, which was not exactly a lie.

“I wonder why the duke suddenly decided to attend this party,” Ellis said.

Astrid also wondered about that. From the stories he heard from his mother, as well as what he had read about the duke online, the other was not the type to go to events like this. Heck, even Casey didn’t usually attend the event of his own company. He probably only attended this time because of Astrid.

As he was contemplating about that, his gaze accidentally meet with the duke. They stared at each other. When it lasted for five seconds and the other didn’t look away, Astrid started to wonder what he should do.

He wanted to just look away, but that would appear too rude. So, he decided to bow politely and then look away. But before he could do that, the duke started to stride towards his direction.
