Soon, it is Saturday.
There are quite a few dresses in Lily's cabinet, and any of them can be a good choice for the banquet. When they are preparing for the banquet at home in the evening, Secretary Horn of the Smith Group comes with two large boxes in his hands.
One is for Lily and the other is for Jessie.
Secretary Horn says helplessly, "I happened to meet Mr. Leigh when I went to the shop for Ms. Lily's dress. Mr. Leigh asked me to bring over Ms. Jessie's dress. He and Mr. Smith will go to the hotel first."
"I'm not interested in the banquet," Jessie muttered. After opening the box and seeing her dress, she immediately says, "It's easy to grow fat if you stay at home all the day. Let's go!"
Lily puts on a wry look.
After dressing up, Jessie sets off with Lily. When they are doing their hair, Jessie looks at her phone and says in shock to Lily, "Do you know what I just found out?"
"What?"
"We're wearing the custom dresses. They'll be on the fashion show next spring!" Jessie says excitedly, "This is the first time I've worn a custom dress before its debut on the fashion show. I feel great!"
Lily says, "It's good to be rich!"
She occasionally spends much money on custom-made dresses, but she has few opportunities to wear them, so she only buys the ones that are not too expensive. She has never thought about spending much money on a high-end dress before its show.
She turns the ring on her ring finger and recalls that after knowing Louis, her thinking mode has slowly changed and the people she meets are different from before.
Daniel, Leigh, Stella, and Alfred are all elites in the same social circle.
They are different from the people who John has introduced to her in the party before and made her feel awkward. On the contrary, it is very easy for her to get on with Daniel and the others.
She doesn't feel inferior to them.
In the past year, thanks to Louis, she has learned a lot.
"Lily, what are you thinking about?" Jessie looks at Lily, "Look at you, you're smiling."
Lily smiles faintly, "I just feel that Mr. Louis is quite good."
Jessie teases her, "You fickle woman! I asked you if you liked Mr. Smith, and you said that you didn't like him, but now you do. Oh! That's woman!"
Lily doesn't reply her.
At half past seven, they arrive at the Silver Intercontinental Hotel by car.
The banquet is held to celebrate the installation of new CEO of Long Peace Group. Many people in business have been invited to the banquet, but the Song Peace Group is low-profile, so there are no reporters at the entrance.
The waiter leads Lily and Jessie to the banquet hall, where people are drinking and chatting.
Lily looks around but doesn't see Louis. Instead, she sees Leigh who is talking with others politely. And once a woman greets him, he would step back and keep a distance.
"I haven't seen him for a few days. He is so self-disciplined now." Lily turns her head to look at Jessie and says, "You did a really good job. You turned a playboy into a loyal man."
Jessie says proudly, "Yes! I told you, I know how to deal with men."
Lily teases her, "But you told me before that Leigh was a playboy and you would keep a distance from him."
"Did I ever say that?"
"Yes, you did."
When they are chatting, Leigh sees them. He walks through the crowd, hugs Jessie into his arms, and kisses her directly.
After kissing her, Leigh rubs her cheek and says affectionately, "Baby, I haven't seen you for hours. I miss you so much that I feel as if it had passed ten years!"
"Shut up!" Lily rubs her arms and says, "It's disgusting."
Leigh says, "You must feel very uncomfortable. After all, you're single!"
"Hey! What are you talking about!" Jessie blames him.
Lily is happy that her roommate still takes her side.
