Fiona couldn’t admit that she was sent here to be Brian’s ples one at the dinner event. She was no match for Evelyn’s prestigious background. 

“-I’m here to…” Fiona stammered, unable to tell Evelyn the truth. 

Brian drawled, “Grandma made Flona attend the dinner with me.” 

Fiona’s face immediately turned a deep crimson. 

Evelyn raised a brow in amusement. “Oh? Is that so?” 

“Ms. Piper, I am not saying this to put you down, but… The dinner attendees are CEOs from other countries. You might cause a misunderstanding if you show up with Brian, Besides, you might not be able to communicate well with the guests.” 

She deliberately paused before asking, “Ms. Piper, may I know If you’ve taken any foreign language proficiency tests? Forget about that–how’s your grammar? Are you at least conversational? 

“By the way, business proficiency matters too. I believe you are well–versed in that as well, Ms. Piper?” 

“L…” Fiona couldn’t muster an answer in the face of Evelyn’s questioning. 

She had none of the skills that Evelyn just listed. She thought all she needed to do was drink. 

Who knew she had to master foreign languages for the occasion as well? 

Fiona was a pretty good student back in school, but she needed conversational experience to be able to communicate seamlessly. Yet, she had never gone abroad. How could she fluently socialize with the foreign guests? 

“Looks like that’s not your forte.” Evelyn continued her attacks. “A man of Brian’s status will suffer a blow to his reputation if people learn that he has such an unrefined partner. It will affect their perception of Lodge Co, as well. Ms. Piper, I suggest you pick up a few languages before showing up again.” 

With that, Evelyn went over to Brian and took his arm. “Brian, let’s go.” 

“Okay.” Brian got up without taking another look at Fiona. 

“Mr. Lodge…” Fiona began, but Brian cut her off. 

“Leave. I don’t want you in the office again.” 

His voice was as cold as winter, causing Fiona to tremble from head to toe. 

It was her first time meeting Evelyn in person. Before this, she had searched online for Evelyn’s details, but Brian had protected Evelyn so well that her photos were not leaked online. 

Everyone in their social circle knew that Evelyn was the only exception for the ascetic Brian. 

At first, she thought she could get closer to Brian, just like Ariana did, by putting on this outfit. It wasn’t until she saw Evelyn that she realized the wide gap between them. 

At that moment, Brian had stepped into the elevator with Evelyn with an expressionless face. 

Evelyn finally asked, “Brian, does Mrs. Lodge Senior… have her eyes on that girl?”
