Just as Audrey finished speaking, she knew the answer before Bryson could reply, as he was staring at
her, totally attracted.
Bryson gulped as he said, "You look fantastic!"
The moment Bryson finished his words, Audrey could feel the pleasure in her heart.
The dress added more beauty to her perfect figure. She was only wearing light makeup, but she looked
inhumanly beautiful.
This made Bryson have the impulsion to imprison her here, unwilling to allow others to see her beauty.
Audrey was precisely in front of him. Bryson looked at her, his gaze becoming more and more intense.
He leaned closer to Audrey, their lips getting closer and closer.
But Audrey suddenly stiffened.
No, she couldn't move.
A voice came from her mind, "Audrey, don't!"
Suddenly knocks on the door interrupted them.
"Who is it?" Bryson said coldly.
It was Melvin. He coughed softly, "Well, Mr. Bryson, Mr. Wadsley, president of Hampool Chamber of
Commerce is here. He wants to see you."
Audrey heaved a sigh of relief as if she finally got an excuse. She said to Bryson at once, "Go and see
Mr. Wadsley."
"Don't wander off. Take a seat later and send me the location."
Audrey didn't know what to say.
Send him the location? No! It was making trouble for herself. If Bryson sat with her, there would be
many gossips. She didn't want that.
But she nodded, "OK."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtReceiving the answer he wanted, Bryson walked out with satisfaction.
When Bryson was out, Audrey took a deep breath, her heart beating rather fast.
Just now, she could feel that her heartbeat had accelerated.
Bryson wanted to kiss her, right? If Melvin didn't come, perhaps... they would be...
No. She tried not to think about it.
Audrey walked out of the lounge, stopping herself from thinking about what had happened.
She wanted to find an empty lounge to have a rest.
But she only found that there were people in every lounge after searching for a while. And two lovers
were kissing so affectionately in one lounge that they didn't even notice her when she opened the door.
After failing several times, Audrey was hungry. She gave up and headed to the hall.
She got a plate of free-to-eat fruit, found a corner, and then sat down to enjoy it.
From afar, Audrey could see Wendy, who was surrounded by socialites.
"Wendy, is this the fantasy dress you wore at the end of last week's Milan fashion show?" They looked
at Wendy with envy.
Wendy smiled and nodded, "Yes."
The other socialites all threw envious glances at Wendy.
Not all rich people could get this dress.
"Wendy, you have a lot of diamonds on you. It must cost a lot."
Wendy lowered her head and smiled faintly, "This is a gift from my boyfriend. I don't know the price."
"Mr. Julian! Wendy, how lucky you're. You have a pretty face, wonderful acting skills, and a loving
boyfriend."
At this moment, Julian walked in and came to Wendy's side.
Wendy held Julian's arm. It seemed that they were made for each other, making people around quite
envious.
"What are you talking about?" Julian looked at them with a polite smile.
"Mr. Julian, we were just talking about you and Wendy. We all envy that Wendy has such a good
boyfriend like you."
"That's right. If only I could find a boyfriend like Mr. Julian."
Seeing their admired gazes, Wendy d was extremely pleased.
Audrey just sat not far away, watching them showing their affection without any response.
She could only feel that they were hypocrites.
Alma also came here. But she did not rush to find Bryson as the other socialites did. Instead, she
searched the crowd for Audrey.
She didn't want to come because she wasn't interested in this banquet.
But she heard that Bryson would be here. So she decided to come.
Before coming here, she called Kylee to ensure that Audrey would be there. She was more likely to see
Bryson if she could stay with Audrey.
Of course, she didn't tell the other socialites about it.
After coming here with several societies, she separated from them to find Audrey.
Finally, she saw the beautiful figure in a corner.
Alma's eyes lit up and she walked towards Audrey.
"Elliana, I had thought it was you from afar. And it is right!"
Audrey was observing the crowd. Hearing someone was talking to her, she turned around and saw
Alma walking towards her.
She frowned.
"Miss Alma."
Alma sat by her warmly.
"Elliana, why are you here alone? There are many famous socialites from Peace City. Do you want me
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmto introduce you?"
Audrey shook her head. She didn't care about those societies.
"No, Miss Alma. You go!"
Alma could tell that Audrey didn't want to see others. Then she said diplomatically, "Actually, I don't like
this either. It must be boring if you're alone. Let me stay with you!"
Audrey wanted to tell her she was pleased to be alone.
"Well, okay."
She was not an idiot. She knew that Alma was pleasing her. She could tell that Alma really wanted to
be surrounded by those societies, but she had to stay here to please Audrey.
"Elliana, our company had called your firm to consult something, but your colleagues said that you
were on a business trip."
"Yeah, the case is out of town."
"Oh."
A figure suddenly appeared beside Audrey.
"I told you to send me the location!"
Audrey raised her head, shocked that Bryson was with a gloomy expression.
"Well, I think you're talking with Mr. Luis."
"It's over."
Audrey didn't know what to say.
Alma's eyes lit up when he saw Bryson.
She was right. As long as she stayed with Audrey, she would see Bryson.
Alma controlled her excitement, stood up politely, and whispered, "Mr. Bryson."
Bryson looked at Alma, frowning, his face indifferent and alienating.
"Who are you?"
Alma was embarrassed.
