I just put my bag in its place when I was called into Angle's office. Knowing that nothing good would come, my colleagues looked at me with sympathy in their eyes. I know almost everyone knows what transpired yesterday. This is really terrible! What should I do?!

"Come in yourself." Before I knocked on the door, I heard Angle's angry growl.

"You're really a big shot. Everyone was working late yesterday and you were the only one who was left early!" Angle snorts.

"I've finished my task earlier. So, I got off work." This woman is so annoying.

"You always have an excuse. Do you still remember that you are a team member, you left early yesterday without telling your superior!" Angel was being a little unreasonable.

"I asked permission to Warren Wilson before I left yesterday." I had no choice but to resort to her superior.

"Heh, you're amazing. You even hooked up with Warren Wilson. One Smith isn't enough! You're a slut! Neither are you good looking, nor do you have any shame. You have strong sexual skills, don't you? I'm telling you! Smith is mine, and stay away from him. Don't think that I don't know what you did in the elevator yesterday. Next time I find out, I'll rip your mouth off!" Angle seemed like a crazy lion, and I couldn't stand it any longer I took out the phone from my pocket which I had used for recording her voice.

"Angel, I have recorded it, and if you keep on being so rude, I will play it for everyone to hear, especially to sir Smith. So that he will know what kind of a bitch you are!" This woman is so disgusting. She's reaching my end!

I didn't even take a few steps away when I heard the sound of screaming. Followed by it, are the sound of things being thrown on the floor which kept echoing in the corridor.

Andie immediately came to me. "Alexia, you shouldn't get into a fight with Angel. I just found out that she's the granddaughter of the chairman of the Group. She's not easy to be messed with!"

"I won't get into trouble with her, but if she ever pisses me again, I'm out!" I said with a heavy heart.

Andie couldn't help her advices. "But for someone like her being our superior, I would rather leave the company. She really has a great backup!"

"I just hope that she could be quiet for a few days." My words are really coming from my heart. I won't stand it anymore.

I was serious when I said I wasn't going to work at this company. After all, with a superior like Angel, my future would be pretty grim. But every time I thought about quitting the job, I felt a bit sad about it...sad about what? The affection? Is it really worth staying with these kinds of mess?

Lunch in the company cafeteria

Warren suddenly sat down next to Andie and me.

"Eh? So, you guys usually come to this cafeteria to eat?" Andie looked curious.

"I thought of your identity guys that you actually eat at a fancy restaurant rather than in this cafeteria."

He is acting funny. We are not the kind of a person he thought though.

Warren took out his phone and added both of us into his contact list.

The meal was very enjoyable, although I didn't know what kind of gossip would pop up again. Eh, I was getting tired of staying in this company. I don't even feel the excitement I used to feel every time I come to work.

After Warren finished eating and left, Andie whispered in my ear, "Eh, Warren likes you. You see, he asked for your contact information.

"Come on, didn't he also add you to his contact list? You know what, he is after you!" I teased Andie back, but I was also thinking of Smith who offered his contact information. Gosh, this man is so intriguing.

It is Friday. I could have expected a beautiful weekend, but I found myself left with a lot of work, which shouldn't have been done by me alone.

It was clear to me that it is Angel who took advantage of her position to get me into trouble.

Being very buys with these, I hadn't even had a sip of water the whole noon, but in spite of working really hard there is still a pile of work I would have to deal with by the end of the day even after getting Andie's help. Later, I worked overtime all by myself, but by 9:00 pm, there are still a lot to be finished.

It was then I noticed that my mom called me several times, I quickly called her back. "Did you forget, that you have an appointment today! The guy has been waiting for you for half an hour!" Mom's tone was so urgent. I really forget that I had a blind date today. It wasn't my style to make people wait. Let me get up early tomorrow and do the job at hand!

"Hurry! I'll call Jack and tell him you're working late and will be there soon." Mom was more anxious than me.

I didn't really want to waste time, but I also didn't want to make my mom angry. So, I forced myself to go and meet this guy, who I heard is a lawyer. I guessed he would be more reliable than the previous ones.

However, when I stood in front of the elevator, I got so scared, and my head started to get dizzy. I'd better climb the stairs, I wasn't wearing high heels. So, I'd have no problem exercising.

Just as I walked towards the stair, another elevator door opened and Smith was standing inside.

"Come up."

I reluctantly entered the elevator, praying that nothing would happen. I wouldn't be so fortunate to see Mr. Smith.

But the truth turned out to be the opposite.

The elevator strolled down, and Smith was standing near the button with his back facing me.

I was suddenly very nervous.

Oh my God, my face immediately blushed.

I didn't even realize the elevator had stopped at the underground garage, and I didn't have a car.

I was so embarrassed. I wanted to send Smith away and take a cab upstairs myself.

"Where are you going? I'll drive you home."

"No, no, I'll take a cab." If I would be left alone with him again, I might not be able to control myself.

Smith opened the door and I had no choice but to get in the car.

"Give me your cell phone. I will play a song."

How strange the man was! Why would he always take my phone away? But I couldn't say no to him either.

After all, he is my boss.

"You're a real slut, you're not good looking, you're good at sex, right?" I unintentionally touch the display button. The record played loudly, and I looked at him awkwardly,

God, let me dig a hole and hide myself in it forever.

"Sorry, I'll delete it." I looked at Smith who was stunned.

"No, keep it." Smith suddenly grabbed my hand and stubbornly held onto me for a long time. We were so close that our body almost touched!

I quickly scooted away and took my hand back.

I lowered my head, face flushing again.

"You're scared of me?" Smith questioned in haughtiness.

"N-No!"

I heaved a sigh and felt a little bit relieved.

Then I couldn't help but start thinking about it again. Why didn't he let me delete the recording? Did he want to keep it as a souvenir?

"Here it is!" Smith turned his head and returned my phone.

I was so embarrassed that I couldn't even utter a simple thank you and quickly ran away.

When I arrived at the coffee shop, it was almost 11:00 pm.

I was ready to meet no one, but to my surprise, the lawyer, Jack Williams, was still there. He was surprised to hear someone entering the shop at this time.

"Excuse me, are you Mr. Jack Williams?" Out of courtesy, I still introduced myself to the man.

"Well, I am! Are you-" The man looked up at me upon hearing my voice.

The moment he saw me, I could see something flashing in his eyes that quickly went away.

"Hi, I'm Alexia Brown. I'm really sorry to keep you waiting, but I was unexpectedly working late today."

"Oh, no problem no problem! Auntie already told me about it!" Jack Williams' anger vanished. He would have never thought that his aunt would introduce him to such a beautiful girl.

We started talking and the atmosphere was very pleasant.

Meanwhile, in a private room not far from me, someone was sitting in a distance where he could see me at first glance.

Although I had no intention of getting married, I thought Jack Williams was a nice guy. So, when he asked me to exchange cell phone numbers, I leisurely agreed.

It's just that I felt like I was being watched the whole night. From the moment I sat down, I could feel like someone was keeping his eyes on me, and the café bar was also strangely quiet today.

Who is that person?

I first thought I saw Smith, but then I denied the thought. Probably because I was too tired today.

"Miss Alexia, where do you live? I'll give you a ride."

"Thanks, but I don't live far from here. I can take a bus." I smiled.

After all, it was the first time we met, and even if he gave me a good impression, I would have to be careful.

"That.fine, but be careful on the road!" Jack Williams nodded gently. This gentlemanly courtesy deepened my fondness for him.

As we walked around the corner, the waiter pushed open the door, and I unconsciously glanced at a figure which made me feel like vomiting.

It was Anni Jones.

How could she be here? I glanced at her mother together with that disgusting Abby Williams and some college friends.

"Mr. Jack, why don't you go home? It's my roommate. I'll go home with her." I said goodbye to Jack Williams and walked into the room.

"Hey, look, isn't that Alexia Brown? You're on another blind date, again, huh? Your mom really thinks you're cheap and keeps setting you up with guys." Abby Williams said with a mocking smile on her face.

"Sorry, wrong room!" I deliberately avoided Abby Williams' handshake. I never wanted to touch her again because the very sight of her would bring back those terrible memories.

"Why are you walking away? Look at that blind date guy. He's not a slightest bit handsome like Johnny Evans." Abby Williams deliberately said that to make me feel pain.

"Abby Williams, do you want me to remind you when you got down on your knees and begged me to let you have Johnny Evans? As I remember, you were pregnant when you left the country, weren't you? I'm sure you guys are already married and your kids are in elementary school."

Few people know what had happened back then. Everyone thought that Johnny Evans had dumped me and left the country with Abby Williams, but they didn't know that there was something behind.

"Alexia Brown, don't you dare talk nonsense here. It's obvious that he doesn't want you!" One of Abby Williams's friends refuted.

"Heh, you should know whether I'm bullshitting or not!" I stared at Abby Williams' face and replied coldly.

Abby Williams is a girl with high self-esteem. The pictures she posted in the college Facebook group were of course to target me, but today I made her feel shame in front of everyone. The moment I saw her shiver down her spine, I felt extremely ecstatic.

My phone rang suddenly. Surprisingly, it was Smith.

"Can you drive? Come downstairs and pick me."

I was stunned by his shark voice. What happened to him?

I turned and left immediately, worrying about him. Was he drunk?

Downstairs, the gorgeous Bentley stood luminously by the road, and Smith was smoking.

"Oh my God. It's a Bentley limited!" Abby Williams and others, who followed me downstairs, stared at us with eyes full of envy.

Mr. Smith walked toward me and cradled me in his long and warm arm.

"Who just said that no one wanted Alexia? This man is handsome and rich, far better than Johnny Evans." The crowd mummers that Abby Williams's face turned dark.

She clenched her fists, gritting her teeth. 'Alexia Brown, I really won't let you have a good life.'

After driving for more than ten minutes, I asked Smith, "Mr. Smith, where do you live?"

Smith didn't respond. I turned my head, and noticed that his eyes were closed, and he is breathing evenly. He seemed to be asleep.

I called Warren Wilson, but no one answered back.

I wanted to send him to the hotel, but he couldn't check in without an identity proof.

I suspected that he was pretending to be asleep, but I couldn't wake him up and dare not offend him. What's more, he helped me before. So, I should not leave him alone.

So, I could only take him back to my house.

I hurriedly dragged him to my room he was too heavy but I'm strong for sure, I let him lay not daring to change his clothes. I covered him with a quilt and went to another room to sleep with Anni, but she didn't come back yet.

My mother called suddenly, "Hey, daughter, what do you think of Jack Williams."

"Fortunately, he is 35 years old, I think he is too old." Every time my mother and I talked about blind dates, my head would hurt.

"You are 26, and he has a very good impression of you. You can continue this relationship. Mom is waiting for your good news." Mom hung up the phone happily. I was playing with the wallet that Smith just dropped out. Although it wasn't very polite to look at other people's wallets, I opened it out of curiosity and found that there is a photo inside...

"What are you doing!" Smith suddenly stood in front of me

I quickly closed his wallet and hid it in my pocket.

"I am getting something to drink." I darted to the kitchen and poured him a glass of water.

"Is he 35 years old?"

"Ah." He heard our conversation.

"If you don't mind, please go back to sleep in my room. Good night." I quickly ran away from the living room.

Breakfast.

Smith, who was obsessed with extreme cleanliness, rejected my suggestion to buy him Starbucks and asked me to cook for him.

I made a sandwich for him,

He grabbed it and finished in one go, then picked up mine too.

He let out a hiccup, and then stood up, disappearing from my eyesight. That's when Anni came back.

She excitedly told me she met an extremely handsome guy in the elevator.

I knew she was talking about Smith.

"Anni, why did you just come back only now?" I changed the subject.

"You know what happened? My parents arranged a blind date, and then I stayed the whole night with him in the hotel." Anni looked unhappy.

"It is really enough. Yesterday they asked me to be engaged to him at the dinner table just because the boy is rich. We only met for the first time! And they dislike my ex-boyfriend, who is poor and forced us to break up. Now, even my marriage has to be controlled by them. It's too painful! I really want to die." Anni's words shocked me.

"Anni, please don't be like that. It is your marriage. You really can't let them decide!" Marriage isn't a game.

You really have to make your own decision.

"Yes, I told them that if they push me again, I will cut off relations with them, and I will no longer be their ATM machine." Anni said in a determined tone.

"I will go to my hometown to see my mother later and see if there is a solution." I was a little worried that Anni would be alone here, but I hadn't been home for a long time. I had already set my plan a few days ago. I missed my mother very much. So, I packed my bags and left for home the same day.

When I arrived home, that happens to be lunch time.

My mother was injured from an accident. So, I had to cook for her.

"Alexia, your cooking skills are so good. Your husband must be very happy in the future." Mom exclaimed.

"Hurry up and find a boyfriend. Until then mom will be rest assured." Mom really successfully made me feel even more burdened.

"Mom, marriage is not something like going to the supermarket. Don't push me please. I'll just wait for the right person!" How I wished there could be such a person. So that my mother would never nag again.

After dinner, my mother talked about my love life again.

"Jack Williams is a good boy. Can you two be together?" Mom's tone was very urgent,

"Mom, we haven't known each other yet. It really takes time." I didn't want my mother to be angry.

"Mom is really worried about you. My daughter is so good-looking. When will she be married?" Mom patted my hand and heaved a sign. "Oh, darling, I will become a burden for you. You have been unhappy ever since the accident. "

"Mom, what are you talking about? I am very happy!" I felt very distressed when I heard my mother.

"Mom. Actually, Dad called me last week. He..." Although it wasn't good to mention Dad at the moment, I still wanted my mother to accept Dad's money and do the operation with less pain.

"Why did he come to you? He wants you to persuade me to sign a divorce agreement! The hell with him! Do you regret choosing me instead of your rich dad!" Mom was very emotional.

"Mom, please stay calm. You hate Dad so much. Why don't you get divorced? If you are divorced, you will be free and happy." I really couldn't understand my mother's thoughts, and I hated those who intervened in our family. I hated my father too, but I couldn't do anything! My mother was so hurt. Why did she still have to contact a person like him?!

My mother gave me a slap, and I was shocked. "You go! Cough..." Mom let out a heavy breath. I was so scared that I let my mother and laid her down, taking out the medicine. "Mom, I am wrong. If you are still angry, beat me!" I felt guilty making my mother so angry.

"Alexia, you go and rest. I'll take care of myself here." The nanny came, giving me some breathing time.

Only then I realized that my face was swollen.

"Would you like to watch a movie tonight?" It is a text message from Jack Williams. In fact, I wanted to refuse, but when I thought of my mother's tears, I agreed. "I'll go back this afternoon and see you in the evening."

After sending the text message, a phone call came in, and I answered without seeing who it was.

"Where are you? There is a banquet in the evening, and you will be my female companion." It was Smith. I was confused. Attending the banquet with him?

"I'm in my hometown and can't go." I prayed that Smith would not want me to be his female companion.

"I'm nearby too. Don't worry. I'll pick you up then we will head back together!" Without letting me refuse, he hung up the phone. But when I looked at the swollen face in the mirror, I really wanted to refuse. Looking at my mother's state, I really couldn't be willful. I would have to be patient.

I sent him the address. Maybe he would give up after seeing my face. I didn't send him the correct home address.

After kissing my mother goodbye, I walked to the address.

I called my grandpa and told him that I would visit him next time. I also sent a text message to Jack Williams and refused the movie date tonight.

Soon, Smith's car came, and when I got in the car, he stared at my face. "What's wrong with your face."

"I fell." I didn't want to tell the truth.

"Have you been beaten?" Smith asked directly.

I told him what really happened.

"Ah? What?" I didn't react, looking at him stupidly.

"Beaten by your mom?" Smith stared at me.

I didn't know how to answer and remain silent for a while.

Jack Williams called suddenly, but in Smith's car, I didn't want to answer it.

"Pick up the phone. Why don't you answer it?" He also noticed the call. Wait, he was right. Why should I care about him?

"Hey." I answered, Jack Williams didn't ask me why I suddenly refused his appointment, which made me feel good about him. "Just want to ask if you have time tomorrow."

"I have time during the day and have to work at night." I wanted to say that I would be free all day, but I remembered that I would go part-time at night.

"Then I'll call you tomorrow." Jack Williams hung up happily.

After the call, I felt that the atmosphere in the car was strange, and I found that Smith seemed to be in a bad mood.

"Mr. Smith, my face is swollen, and I should not be able to go to the banquet with you." I reminded Smith. I hoped he wouldn't take me to the banquet, or he would be ashamed.

"You can participate, take this." He hands out a salve, and I felt better.

"God, this ointment is effective! My face is not hot anymore." I was so surprised to see that this ointment is really very useful. I felt a lot more comfortable. "It is from one of my friends. If you want it, I will get some for you." did he mean I have to have one for more slaps from my mother?

At the traffic light, he suddenly stretched his arms around me as he put his hands around my waist, rubbing his hand against my skin. My heart suddenly started beating faster.

"You are not blushing today." He was close, so close that I could feel his breath. I held my breath and closed my eyes not wanting to accept the fact that he was sitting so close. Suddenly, I felt a small touch brushing against my cheek and then that touch went down toward my neck as his breath trickled the area.

My heartbeat was so fast that even the galloping of the horses would sound slower.

"Mr. Smith, the green light!" I suddenly squealed when I saw the light turning green. I really wanted to thank the heavens for saving me at this moment.

When he pulled off at a building, he led me upstairs directly to a Franchised cloths store.

He greeted one of the girls familiarly and asked her to find me some clothes matching his.

"You are the first girl he ever brought here!" The designer told me in surprise. I could only smile.

In the end, I picked up a blue fishtail dress that showed off my figure very clearly. It is very beautiful, sparkling in the eyes of the people who would see it for the first time.

"Oh my God, this dress is completely tailored for you! Go, show it to Smith!" The designer was even more anxious than I was!

"Hey, wait! This is too exposed!" I lifted my skirt and looked at the deep cleavage in the mirror. I was very embarrassed.

Jeans and T-shirts were usually my favorite clothes. I had never worn such a beautiful but exposing dress. You could tell the uneasiness at my heart just by looking at my expression.

They push me to Smith's front.

Smith didn't say anything, but his eyes didn't tear away from me for even a second. He clearly was very mesmerized.

"Change it." Smith took a sip of the wine glass he was holding in his hand.

I was a little surprised. Didn't I look good in it? Why did he want me to change?

He pointed at a blue one.

I quickly changed it. He really had a good taste. The new dress was not a slightest exposed, but very elegant, showing the perfect curve of my body, I could feel Smith's hot gaze on me.

"Put this on." Smith took out a diamond necklace. His sharp eyes bore into mine, staring deeply at me.

"Mr. Smith, this is too expensive. I cannot take it." The necklace seemed so expensive, I might not be able to relax all night for taking such a priceless gift. How would I pay for that?

"You should wear it unless you want to embarrass me!" Smith's tone was so commanding that I had no reason to refuse.

"God, isn't this the Sky Mermaid that was auctioned at an astronautic number?!" The designer couldn't help but exclaim and put it on for me. She whispered in my ears, "Sweetie, take my word. Smith must have fallen for you. This is an extremely expensive gift!"

"Shut up and give her makeup." Smith scolded the designer coldly. Then swirled the drinks in his hand.

"Yes, sir."

The designer seemed to be Smith's friend. She didn't blush at his commanding tone.

"Heavy makeup doesn't fit you. You have a good face. So, a simple makeup should be enough for you."

The designer is really amazing. In her hands, I seemed to have become another person coming from a wealthy family. If I were a man, I would fall for myself.

"Send the bill to my assistant. Let's go." Smith smirked, reaching out to grab my hand.

But I intentionally escaped, after all, he is my boss.

He was a little displeased, he still opened the car door for me very gentlemanly.

The car dropped us at Beverly Hills, which is a well-known wealthy District.

After arriving here, I suddenly understood why Smith insisted that I needed to dress up.

Although my dad and I attended such events before, it was many years ago. I was still very nervous.

"Are you nervous? Don't be afraid and follow me." Smith noticed my nervousness and comforted me intimately.

After entering the villa, a servant led the way. Suddenly, Smith stopped.

I looked up and saw him bending his arm as he stared at me.

I hesitated for a moment, but finally hooked my arms with his.

"Mr. Smith, welcome." Smith became the focus of the crowd as soon as he arrived. Everyone greeted him, but Smith just returned with a cold emotion. I was a little embarrassed because they would also notice me next to him. " Mr. Smith's companion is so beautiful." I couldn't be indifferent like him. So, I could only smile silently.

"Isn't this Sky Mermaid? It really matches this lady." I felt shy. But Smith seemed very happy to hear this, and he nodded to the speaker.

"She is not my companion, but my girlfriend!"

Then I was swarmed with various compliments. I really wanted to run away.

"I'm not his girlfriend..." Before I finished my rebuttal, I was feeling Smith was pinching me hard. What was he going to do? Did he want everyone to misunderstand our relationship?

"Mr. Bill Evans is here!"

I was surprised that the richest man could actually come? The Richest Group founded by Bill Evans was just like the name of the company. Richest! Its founder was also the most famous philanthropist. He organized today's party.

"Let's say hello to him." Smith led me to Mr. Bill Evans.

"Grandpa. How are you doing?" Smith calls Mr. Evans' Grandpa. Their relationship was really good. I watched their interaction like a nerd.

"It's been a long time since you came to see me, and my granddaughter has been talking about you many times." Standing next to Mr. Evans is a beautiful young girl. Hearing what his grandpa said, she looked up at Smith and blushed.

"Good evening, Mr. Smith." But when she saw me and Smith holding hands, her eyebrows quickly furrowed. I wanted to retract my hand from Smith's, but he held me even tighter.

"Miss Elsa, good evening." Smith replied politely.

"Are you Mr. Smith's girlfriend?" Elsa's tone wasn't very friendly.

"Smith even gave you a Sky Mermaid. You really have a weight in his heart. He rarely does that to a woman."

"Yes, it's rare."

I inadvertently noticed a girl standing next to Smith, and she exclaimed. "This girl is so beautiful!"

I could only smile, because I knew that if I would deny it again, my hand would hurt even more. And whether I was his girlfriend or not, this Miss Elsa already regarded me as an enemy. So, my denial will be meaningless. This life is too difficult. Mr. Evans definitely wanted Mr. Smith to be his Grandson-in-law. It was a pity. I could see that Mr. Smith doesn't like Miss Elsa.

"I'm sorry, I'm late." Warren Wilson anthologized, but his late arrival didn't make Mr. Evans angry. They seem to be very familiar.

"Sister, let's go to eat together." Elsa warmly invited me to another place. I glanced at Smith, and after seeing Mr. Smith nodding, I went to the bar with Elsa.

"Sister, Mr. Smith is so kind to you. He even felt a little worried when I invited you here." Elsa's voice carried a hint of anxiety, and I could only feel anxiety. Today I became a smiling robot.

"Alexia, you are so beautiful today." Warren walked towards us with a wine glass.

"Am I not beautiful?" Elsa said to Warren coquettishly.

"You are beautiful too!" Warren smiled and brought me a glass of red wine.

"Don't worry, this alcohol is not strong."

"Don't listen to him, this wine will make you drunk." Elsa reminded me, but the taste of this wine is really good. I couldn't help but drink a lot.

"Sis, how did you know Mr. Smith?" I seemed to have drunk.

"We just met for a few days. He's, my boss."

"Then you are really not Mr. Smith's girlfriend, but how could he give you a Sky Mermaid?" Elsa didn't believe my words.

"I just borrowed it from him, and I will return it after the banquet." Elsa's smile widened even more. I also relaxed a lot. I hoped this little girl wouldn't bring me any trouble. I was just a small nobody.

"I'm going to get ready to dance." After that, Elsa carried her beautiful skirt and left.

"The before 9-year-old Elsa said that she is going to marry Mr. Smith when she grew up, and she hasn't given up until now. She is really persistent, but in my opinion, Smith has already liked someone." Warren seemed to be suggesting something.

"How come? Elsa is young and beautiful, and she has a good family cultivation." I knew what Warren wanted to say, but I wouldn't answer him directly.

"Oh, really. Don't regret it then." Warren kept staring at me, and I deliberately avoided his sight.

The party rolled out, and Smith walked up to me. I knew he wanted to invite me to dance, but this was the first dance tonight. I wanted him to dance with Elsa, because if I danced with him, Mr. Evans would be very angry.

"Smith, I am really sorry, I am not really in the mood......"

Before I could finish, he stubbornly put his hand in front of me.

"I haven't learned dancing. You can't teach me." Before Smith could speak, I figured out the answers to all his questions. So, he would definitely give up, but he still put his hand in front of me. Maybe a minute has passed. He finally retracted his hand. I finally relaxed seeing him like this. Although his mood suddenly changed, and the people around him were surprised that I would reject him. But, God, I really didn't want to cause trouble anymore.

Elsa was the happiest person at the party, because she finally was able to dance with Smith.

"Brother, are you angry? Miss Alexia said that you lent her the necklace." Elsa couldn't help but say bad things to Smith. When he heard this, Smith's dance steps stopped, and his face darkened.

"Brother, do you like Miss Alexia?" Elsa felt that Smith's attitude was strange.

"Yes." She didn't expect Smith to answer this question, which made Elsa jealous. She felt like she was going crazy.

She obviously knew Smith earlier than Alexia. Elsa was even young, beautiful, and the granddaughter of the richest man. She was a thousand times better than Alexia! Why did Smith dislike her!

The first dance was over.

Smith walked away from Elsa indifferently. Elsa stared at his back.

Suddenly, a trace of fear swarmed into her heart. She could feel after tonight, she would never get to see him again. She would lose him forever. Elsa clenched her fists and looked at Alexia. Her eyes were full of anger and jealousy.

On the other side, Warren, who witnessed Alexia's rejection of Smith, couldn't help gossiping after Smith left.

"What are you doing?" Warren felt a little weird,

"Alexia, you are the first person who refused him. You wouldn't know the expressions of those girls after seeing you reject him. Maybe they think you are stupid. Hahaha." Warren's words really made me angry. Why did he call me stupid? I took a few more sips.

"I didn't know how to dance. Dancing with Mr. Smith will just make everyone laugh at him. I rejected him for the good of everyone."

"Seriously, aren't you jealous of Smith dancing with others?" Warren was curious. If it were an ordinary girl, she wouldn't have refused Smith's invitation to dance.

"I am not jealous. Mr. Smith and I are just ordinary colleagues!" Tonight, I had heard enough gossip between Smith and me, and I am extremely exhausted.

WARREN 'S POV

It is too difficult to approach Alexia's heart, or maybe Alexia really didn't like Smith.

At first, I thought it was just a girl's shyness that made Alexia stay away from him.

But the fact seemed that Alexia really didn't feel anything for Calvin Smith.

Even after realizing and witnessing how rich Calvin is, she didn't show any interest to him. Some ladies are dreaming to be in her position. But even after being introduced as Calvin's girlfriend she still took the gut to deny it!

She's really a different kind of a woman, or I should say someone with integrity. Truly that there are still a lot of ladies who are not being stunned by wealth.

I really admire her because of this. Any man who wins her heart will be very lucky.

And if Calvin will, he shouldn't waste a woman like her!

I looked around and saw Calvin's face real upset. He was trying to be cool going on a dance with Elsa.

I don't know to him, Elsa is beautiful, she almost has everything but why doesn't Calvin want to give her a try?

Anyway, knowing what kind of a person my old friend is, he wouldn't appreciate arrange marriage or the like.

He has weird taste, so probably him not interested with Elsa is not a question for me.

Looking at Alexia, she seems really drunk. She might not have expected the wine to be traitor.

She tossed a lot a while ago, even refused to dance with Calvin. For sure she'll get boiled later!

I pity her, but looking at her kind of bravery, she will sure escape Calvin's wrath.

I just hope she knows what she's doing until the banquet is over.

At the other side of the place, Elsa's expression hasn't escaped my eyes. She was so disappointed trying to hied her emotions. But she has a fierce eye towards Alexia.

She must not make a scene here, knowing Alexia, she sure wouldn't let anything pass! Unless she is kind when drank, then that's another story to tell!

Sipping my wine here while observing the crowd I couldn't help but smile. Life is horrible so does people!

Not too far from my position, I can see Calvin approaching me.

He has a pale and cold face, so help me God!
