"As we all know, I am currently working on a green energy project with Mr. Johnston, and with his support, the project is steadily gaining traction. This green energy project is far from a minor one. and I'm very grateful to Mr. Johnston for his willingness to aid me," Fiorella began as she glanced at Jared beside her.
"With that said, I'd like to establish a foundation in the name of Mr.
Johnston and myself, to render aid to companies that require help and support in order to ensure healthy and sustainable development. To make this a success, I hope to acquire support from people of all walks of life. That's all from me. Thank you everyone,” Fiorella belted out to the crowd.
Jared was stunned by that announcement. ‘Why would she set a fund up, all the sudden? And she even wants me to be a part of it. She didn't even discuss about it with me in advance. What's going on?’
"Wait, why haven't I heard any mentions pertaining to the establishment of the foundation before this. Miss Fisher?” Jared looked at Fiorella and asked in a low voice.
"It was a spontaneous idea. Let's continue with the reception first. We can discuss about it later on." Fiorella looked at Jared and said.
"But..."
"Mr. Johnston, there are many people watching, and I've already stated it. You can’t just destroy my reputation like that now, can you? If you don't wish to participate in it in the future, then there's no need to. I won't force you to." Fiorella finished, and laughed it off while waving her hands at everyone.
Meanwhile, Mr. Russell and Mr. Irwin were sitting at the quiet area, listening to Fiorella’s speech.
"Moments ago, Miss Fisher was withholding an important announcement. As it turns out, she wants to establish a foundation with Mr. Johnston. This ought to be interesting,” Mr. Irwin said to Mr. Russell with a slight twitch.
"Miss Fisher and Mr. Johnston joining hands to establish a foundation? What exactly do they wish to do?" Mr. Russell casually murmured.
"It matters not what they do. As long as Mr. Johnston participates, with you and I following along, it will be worth our while.” Mr. Irwin looked at Jared and Fiorella with scheming eyes.
"What you said is true."
Fiorella allowed the crowd to move freely after she had delivered her speech, before whisking Jared away to a more secluded space. She had kept a mental note that Jared disliked noisy places, so she had specially arranged a private room for them on the second floor.
"Where are you taking me?" Jared asked, brushing Fiorella's hand aside.
"I know you dislike crowds, Mr. Johnston, so I've arranged a quiet room for us upstairs," she said.
‘I'm here for the reception, Miss Fisher. If there’s nothing else going on, then it's best that I get going.’ Jared looked at Fiorella and said.
"Don't be in such a hurry, Mr. Johnston. We still have got the main event. I can't have you missing it. You can come up and chill out for a bit." Fiorella urged him to head up to the room with her, refusing to let him go.
In the room, Fiorella popped open a bottle of red wine in front of Jared. The both of them went on to make small talk while they prepared themselves for the main event.
"Mr. Johnston, this is one of the best I have. Please. have a sip." Fiorella said as she picked the bottle up and poured a glass for Jared.
Jared took the glass of wine and examined it. ‘She just opened the bottle, so there should be no problems."
Then, he positioned the glass near his chest. and before he gradually moved it up to his nose.
After taking a sip, he felt the rich taste of the red wine. This taste is just right. I can register a lingering aftertaste even after just a single sip.
Noticing the look of surprise on Jared's face, a smile appeared on the corner of Fiorella’s mouth, and she said. "How is it?"
"Not bad,’ he replied.
For Jared. This was already considered an appraisal. ‘The red wines I usually drink are vintage wines. I'm surprised that she brought a bottle of good vintage wine out. But then again. she had just gotten a case of vintage wines from me, as well as a bottle of younger red wine.’
