Someone the president was praising to this extent had to be one of the best in the world.


    It was important to note that the people in this hall were already sufficiently famous, but they knew that the president would never speak of them like this. His status was far beyond theirs.


    Of course, Ja was just as curious as them.


    At the same time, she was thinking to herself just how wonderful it would be if she was able to get close to someone like that.


    At the thought, she made up her mind to do whatever it took to get close to this


    man.


    Following that, Brandon gave a simple speech praising the sess of the festival. It was time for mingling around after that.


    It was important to note that everyone here was a top dog in the industry, and the briefest of conversations would hold big news.


    Ja sat in the corner, her ears pricked up as she waited for a chance toe by.


    Not long after, Brandon received a call. He had the emcee take over, heading to another private room with Dillon.


    Just then, Elise had gotten bored in the private room she and Wilbur were in. "Can I go outside, please? There are lots of celebrities out there."


    "Let''s go, then." Wilbur smiled.


    Elise looked at him. "Will that get in the way of your deal with the president?" "No, of course not. I''m going to have to show myself eventually," said Wilbur. Elise flew to her feet at once. "Come with me, please? I''m a little scared." Wilbur nodded, and Elise headed out happily with her arm around his. Over in the banquet hall.


    The room was filled with stunning faces, the top film stars around the world, and internationally acimed directors. Everyone chatted away happily, exuding an air of joy and luxury.


    Elise took in the sight before her and could not help but cover her mouth with her hands.


    She knew, however, that Wilbur had an image to uphold, and she was not to embarrass him. Elise watched them from afar and was content with that much. After all, she was not that extreme of a fan.


    Just like that, the two of them wandered around the hall as they sipped on their champagne and marveled at the beautiful and handsome celebrities.


    Not long after, though, a voice rang through the air. "I can''t believe you managed to get in here. I really underestimated you. What did you have to do for this to happen, huh?"


    Wilbur turned around to the sight of Ja, swirling around a ss of champagne as she gazed at them in disdain.


    Wilbur nearly barked out augh of annoyance. What was her damage, and why did she hate him so much?


    "I''m at this banquet because I deserve to be here, Ja. You really have underestimated me," Wilbur said coldly.


    Ja chuckled. "I''m going to be honest here. I know pretty much everyone who''s famous in Dasha, but I don''t remember having seen you before. Who are you? Are you a billionaire, or a government official?"


    "Neither," Wilbur said.


    Ja sneered. "Then what right do you have to be in here? God, even standing near you is lowering my value."


    Elise could not hold in her anger any longer. "What''s wrong with you, actually? What does it matter to you how we got in here, anyway? Worry about yourself first! What did you have to do to get in here?"


    Ja was merely a D-list celebrity at best, and most of her fame was within Dasha.
