Diego, do you think sister will come?" Astrid asked, her voice laced with fake concern.
"Don't worry, your sister will surely come when she knows I'm about to announce her as my fiancée," Diego replied, smirking.
Just then, Damien stepped out of the car, drawing attention from the crowd. As a renowned actor in the entertainment industry, he was nicknamed "Adonis" by his fans.
"What do you think our Adonis will be walking with on the red carpet?" one reporter asked another.
"I think he'll be with Miss Katz today," the other replied.
"No, I don't think so," a third reporter chimed in. "I'm sure he'll be with Miss Anderson, our number one greek goddess."
The reporters began to bet on who Damien's companion would be. Just then, Damien stretched out his hand to someone in the car. Esmery extended her fair, milky hand towards Damien and stepped out of the car, revealing her stunning legs.
The crowd gasped in awe. "Wow, that's our goddess!" one reporter screamed with delight.
Esmery's captivating smile left the crowd breathless. "How can a human be so beautiful?" someone exclaimed loudly.
A reporter approached Esmery, microphone in hand. "Miss Anderson, what do you think about your CEO organizing this party to thank all CEOs and employees?"
Diego and Astrid exchanged whispers in the crowd. "Diego, what do you think your sister will say?" Astrid asked.
Diego smiled proudly. "Since she loves me so much, she'll say something good to improve my name and status."
Esmery, however, had other plans. With a radiant smile, she began to speak. "I think our CEO is the most handsome and kind person I've ever seen. He takes care of his employees as his own family and holds the company on firm ground."
Diego's face lit up with pride. "See, I told you she'd say something great!" he exclaimed to Astrid, taking large strides towards Esmery.
Esmery finished her interview with the reporter and turned to see Diego standing behind her. "Hello, Esmery," he greeted, his eyes scanning her stunning appearance.
Diego couldn't help but notice how beautiful and sexy Esmery looked that evening. During their relationship, she had often worn casual jeans, and he had never realized how sexy she could be.
Esmery's response to Diego's greeting was a professional "Hi, CEO," accompanied by a perfect smile and a handshake. The touch of their hands sent a shiver down Diego's spine, but he quickly composed himself.
This was the first time Esmery had used a professional tone with him. Previously, she had always called him Diego in a playful, sexy tone, but he had dismissed it as a tantrum.
Diego knew that once he announced Astrid as his fiancée, Esmery would beg him to reconsider. Astrid, sensing Diego's gaze lingering on Esmery, clenched her fists in anger.
Diego quickly withdrew his hand from Esmery's and walked away proudly. Esmery looked surprised by his sudden departure.
Damien returned with a bottle of water and handed it to Esmery. "What's wrong?" he asked, noticing her expression.
Esmery smirked. "I think he has a mental ancestor, so he inherited the genes." Damien chuckled and asked, "Why get you so mad that you're even cursing their ancestors?"
Esmery laughed. "Who else could it be apart from that bastard?" Damien, an avid Esmery supporter, burst into laughter, drawing the attention of Diego and Astrid.
Diego turned to Astrid and asked, "What do you think Damien said to make Esmery laugh like that?" Astrid's clenched fists betrayed her growing unease.
