Chapter 398 - 398: Good To See You Here
Savannah rose quickly. "Yes, Mr. Jenkins. I want to get the modeling of the supporting actress done as soon as possible."
Jenkins looked at the girl in front of him with an appreciative smile.
In the beginning, he cared for her in the company because he guessed she had some special relationship with the big boss. But slowly, he began to appreciate her hard work and talents in design. She had a good understanding and original views toward her work, and more importantly, she was neither conceited nor rash, and she studied hard to make improvements.
Nowadays, a girl of this kind of temperament was really appreciated, so he would like to give her more chances.
He also got more curious about her relationship with the big boss.
Mr. Sterling had never ordered anyone to give her special treatment. And every time he came to the company, he hardly saw her or talked with her.
But if they didn't know each other, why did Mr. Sterling fire Tony who had served Zagreb Film for years for Savannah? He also specially sent Garwood to tell him to make sure Savannah would participate in the designing work for My Girl.
Of course, as an experienced executive, Jenkins knew that whether or not Mr. Sterling knew Savannah and whatever their relationship was, it was a personal matter for Mr. Sterling. To avoid any mistake, Jenkins never asked unnecessary questions.
Savannah was the same age as Jenkins's niece, who had just graduated from college, so Jenkins just took her as a go-ahead junior.
"If only we have more people like you in the design department," Jenkins said sincerely.
"Actually, other colleagues work very hard too," Savannah said, a bit embarrassed.
Jenkins smiled, "by the way, the company's going to hold a big party before the new TV series starts. The cast and the crew will be there. We'll go together."
"Can I go too?"
"Yes. Don't forget to dress yourself up." Jenkins said kindly.
Savannah thought of something and asked casually, "will the leadership of the company all be there?"
In order to make it a big scene and attract more reporters, the company would usually hold a party before a new TV play's production and would invite many big shots to come.
Dylan was the largest shareholder and the boss of Zagreb Film. Would he be there?
If he would go there too, she might as well excuse herself from going, so as not to meet him.
She'd better avoid any connections with him.
"Well, some of the top people are going, but not all of them."
"Who will go?" Savannah tempted.
"Most management of the company," said Jenkins. He just thought she was curious.
"Is Mr. Sterling going to be there?" Savannah's heart flew to her mouth.
"Mr. Sterling is very busy. He never appeared at such a party. I don't think he'll be there." Jenkins laughed. So the girl just cared about the big boss?
Savannah nodded in relief. Well, the man was the president and CEO of a big group, and all the companies under the group held such business dinners now and then. How could the big boss have time to attend the party for an ordinary TV show?
"Thank you, I'll be there in time," she said briskly.
"Okay, I'll send you the time and place later," Jenkins said and left first.

On Saturday evening, Savannah changed into a dress and went out early.
The big party was not a simple dinner in a hotel, but a special party held on a luxury cruise ship in the harbor of LA.
When Savannah arrived there by taxi, she saw the whole luxury cruise at the harbor ablaze with light. People passed in and out in a continual stream. The harbor was blocked by luxury cars. In order to make the occasion grand, the company had invited many celebrities and superstars.
Standing at the bottom of the cruise ship, Savannah was dazzled by the magnificence of the scene. She took a deep breath, picked up her dress, and came aboard.
She wore a black one-piece dress and a silver necklace tonight.
The latest dresses in big brands were too expensive for her to afford, but she couldn't lose the company's face on this occasion, so she chose a late fashion from a famous international brand. The price was relatively low.
Although the dress was not the newest, it's simple style was appropriate for most formal occasions.
In fact, Kevin left a bank card before he left on a business trip, but she did not use it. She had spent a lot of money in the past three years. He paid everything from daily necessities to her tuition for her. Now that she found a job, she didn't want to spend his money anymore if not necessary.
Onboard, the party had not yet officially started. Savannah took a glass of fruit juice and walked around.
As night fell, stars could be seen as points of light in the dark sky. Savannah leaned on the railing, looking to the sea, to the sky. The congenial sea breeze was blowing and very comfortable.
As Savannah was enjoying the pleasant moonlight, a colleague from the design department saw her and came to her.
"Savannah! Good to see you here. Abby's going to make the opening speech. We're rather short-handed at the moment, could you come to help?"
Savannah immediately put down her glass and followed her colleague to the cabin below deck.
Abby's dressing room was in the cabin below the deck.
When Savannah went in, she saw Abby sitting on a red sofa, playing on her mobile phone. Two professional dressers standing next to her were doing her long curls and giving her make-up.
On the couch next to them, two young ladies were talking with Abby with an obsequious smile on their faces. They were resplendent in their beautiful dresses.
Savannah had seen the two women in the company before. The one in a red dress was Donna, and the tall woman with short blond was Annie. They were the artists signed by Zagreb Film, but not so famous as Abby.
Today, as usual, the two female artists were around Abby.
