Chapter 31 – Perfect Match
Terry escorted Vivian inside who was still grumbling about those lowly people.
For the first time, Terry felt like he was seeing the real Vivian.
He had been over the moon when she had called back saying she would be his date.
She had declined him when he asked. Perhaps she was waiting for a better offer. She had been unapologetic when he said he would have to cancel his date.
Now, he realized she only used him for his invite. No wonder she had not been bothered that she was messing up his plans. For her, they were simply people unworthy of her concern.
He vowed to distance himself from her in the future. It ought to be easy since he was always the one who had been vying for her attention.
After all the guests had arrived, the stars of the show began to tidy themselves.
Henry and Mariana made quite a stir. They were both quite catchy.
Only a few people in the upper class knew Mariana as she had left for Maple City at 16 with Liliana. While she frequented P city quite a lot, she had not been involved in her family business or attended many events.
People were curious to know about Henry’s gorgeous date.
Also, the gossip mongers were curious to know what happened to the timid girl who had made such a revelation.
After them came Jennifer and Vincent. Vincent was well known as Jonathan’s right-hand man. While Jennifer had made quite a buzz in the last two days.
Vincent’s confident stance made quite a contrast to Jennifer’s timid ways. People could not help but feel protective of her.
Vincent was once again amazed by Jennifer.
Finally, the stars of the event – Jonathan and Liliana made a grand entrance.
They looked like a match made in heaven. Their clothes, the cockiness in their stance, their aura – everything matched perfectly well.
Jonathan started the party with a simple speech as he proposed a toast for the successful partnership.
That in itself was quite a big deal as it was usually others making a toast to Smith Group.
People were curious about the lady behind the veil. While she had shown her face in the press conference, she was still a mystery.
Everything about her was regal. From the way she held herself, from the way she casually scanned the surroundings like she owned the place to the way she smiled carelessly at compliments.
She looked like someone who was used to being flattered and looked up to. Please could not help but feel subservient to her charm.
Moreover, everyone was curious about her. She had introduced herself as Mrs. Liliana. Apart from the quick reveal in the press conference, she was still hiding behind the veil.This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Vivian tried to comfort herself thinking it was because she was too ashamed to show her face.
But even she could not help but feel it was more akin to Princess and Queens hiding behind the curtain.
