Back to the Past: Breaking the Love Spell



Chapter 686

"Dear esteemed guests, you will find the changing rooms to your right," the attendant said, smiling, at the entrance of the banquet hall.

Carlisle asked his secretaries, "Would you like to change into formal attire?"

The secretaries all nodded in agreement. Owen and Sean looked confused. They didn't even know what formal attire referred to.

Selena explained, "Changing into formal wear is more appropriate for an event like this. It showcases a professional image and reflects our company's strength and respect for the host of this charity event.

"It also enhances our communication with other business professionals, as we'll be exchanging information and understanding market trends."

Lily glanced at her down jacket and asked cautiously, "Do I need to change into formal wear, too?"

Isla smiled and said, "You're Mr. Woodsen's plus one, so it's best to change into a dress as well."

Lily felt her outfit didn't match Sean's suit and glanced at the shoulder-bearing and backless dresses in the hall, her face flushing.

"But those dresses look so revealing. The most revealing outfit. I've ever worn is a knee- length dress!"

Selena chuckled.

"Wearing formal attire at important social occasions is basic etiquette. It not only shows our respect for the event but also reflects our elegance and taste.

"Furthermore, a dress can highlight your unique charm and style. If you prefer not to wear something too revealing, Ms. Donegan can help you pick a more conservative dress later." "Come on, Lily. Let's see how you look in a glamorous dress!" Sean said, dragging Lily toward the changing room.

"Mr. Zahn, I should get changed too," Selena said, subtly requesting permission from Carlisle.

"Sure. Go ahead."

Carlisle nodded in agreement.

Having absorbed a lot from Selena's explanation, Christine and Phoebe whispered to each other before heading toward the changing room.

Daniel leered at Christine's back and smirked, "Christine is going to look so stunning in a dress! My heart is already racing!"

Ryan smacked Daniel on the back of the head and scolded, "That's quite some scheming you have in your young head. If only you would put this kind of effort into your studies, I wouldn't have to worry about you constantly!"

Rubbing his head, Daniel grumbled, "You should be proud of me for thinking about the future of the Scott family at such a young age."

"Why, you little rascal!"

Ryan raised his hand, ready to give Daniel another slap.

"Hey, no hitting in the public!"

Daniel quickly fled.

As soon as Carlisle and Gareth found a table to sit at, the waiter promptly came over to serve them tea and water.noveldrama

"Carlisle," Shania suddenly called out from behind.

Carlisle turned around and saw Shania, dressed in a blue-and-white long dress,

approaching with a glass of red wine. Nathan followed her in a tailcoat, along with Queenie and Luna.

Queenie wore a long dress with a nature motif, showcasing her curvy figure, while Luna wore a white evening gown with a unique neckline that slightly exposed her charming, fair collarbone. Her silky, long hair was styled in a loose updo with a few strands framing her face. A delicate hairpin completed her graceful appearance.

"Ms. Warbane, Mr. Olson," Carlisle greeted them, smiling as he rose from his seat.

He had met Nathan, a shareholder of Holly Fisheries, several times at the company. "Mr. Zahn," Nathan replied, his eyes showing admiration for Carlisle.

Holly Fisheries currently stocked 98 thousand tons of fish. Experts predicted a surge in the fish market before New Year. If they could sell the fish during the festival, they could earn at least 1.5 billion dollars in profit.

However, processing 100 thousand tons of fish in such a short time was nearly impossible. They would need to start selling before and after the festival, with a profit of 1.2 billion, almost guaranteed.

Nathan firmly believed that Carlisle had a knack for predicting the future. He even planned to consult Carlisle about his and Shania's future one day.

Shania glanced at the people seated at Carlisle's table and whispered, "Yuriel tried to ridicule you, didn't he? Yet, you played along and brought all the CEOs of Aurora Holdings' subsidiaries here!"
