Diamond chuckled inwardly, seeing the doubtful gazes fixated on her.
She could understand why they were confused and looking at her like that. If she was another celebrity, she would have opted for something expensive. She would even wear a VERTAH gown or outfit to shine.
Unfortunately, her mind was geared differently.
Seeing everyone’s confusion and doubt, she decided to explain further.
"Rather than having the focus fall solely on me, I would rather have all the attention diverted to the foundation. That is why today I will be as simple as I can be," she said with a smile hanging on her lips, explaining her reasoning.
When everyone in the office heard that, a collective sigh sounded.
For a moment, they were worried. However, now that they heard the reason, it sounded reasonable.
Ma Perry nodded her head with a glint of pride in her eyes. At least her daughter knew what was important. Other people would shift all the attention to themselves, forgetting the actual reason why they were doing things.
As a result, the outcome becomes deadly and the purpose of doing such a thing in the first place loses its meaning.
Seeing that her reasoning had somehow managed to convince people, Diamond continued, "Do you have those t-shirts? Bring me a few, my size if you do. I will pick one to wear and wear that to the press conference," a serious expression on her face.
"This ...." The PR lady was astounded. She didn’t expect that the simpleness that the other referred to would end up being that. "Miss, are you sure that’s what you want?" she asked solemnly, hoping that she wasn’t mishearing.
Diamond beamed at the other and nodded solemnly. "I never joke."
With her wearing that t-shirt, the focus would be on the foundation. If she wore one of her clothes, she was certain that those fans of hers would be dissecting the brands and the prices. fr.e ewe.bno.vel .com
There were several fashionistas in her fan groups who were so obsessed with such matters.
Seeing her so adamant, the PR lady and the rest didn’t dissuade her anymore but hurriedly did as she wanted.
Moments later, Diamond picked a white t-shirt written in red. The name of the foundation looked very vivid and hard to miss.
With almost everything settled, and time ticking, the heads of the departments excused themselves, leaving Diamond with her parents.
Thinking that they would accompany her for a while, the two also left shortly after. Duty called, so she could only remain by herself.
There was still more than an hour before the press conference started and that was enough time for her to deal with other things as well.

Meanwhile, outside the foundation building, several vehicles with familiar broadcasting channel names and logos were parking neatly.
Alighting from the cars were men and women, holding cameras, laptops and other things.
"You are also here?"
"Hehe, how can I miss this?"
"Do you have any clue as to who might have snatched this job?"
"I would be smiling brightly if I knew. They kept their mouths shut."
"I have been monitoring all celebrities with fame ever since I received the news, but so far, no one seems to be suspicious."
