A Spoonful of Sugar: Don't Beg for Love novel Chapter 207

Chapter 207 

When Zikmund heard that Rickard was attending the event this time around, he guessed that he must have come to see Hesper. After all, the organizer had already announced Hesper’s attendance, so many people who wanted to get to know Hesper decided to attend too. 

‘Is Rickard worried that Hesper will gain more connections in the business circle, or is he afraid that Hesper will fall for someone else? 

Zikmund pulled Rickard out of the car, only to choke on the smell of the smoke inside and begin sneezing. In the past, Rickard would only light a cigarette when life was not going his way, but something like this had never happened before. 

Zikmund sighed. 

“What else can I do? He’s still my best friend, my brother. I can only help him out.’ 

“I’ve arranged something for today,” Rickard said indifferently.. 

Zikmund was a little confused. 

‘What arrangement is he talking about?”, 

Without any further explanation, Rickard walked straight into the venue. 

Zikmund was still bewildered, so he strode forward and caught up with Rickard. “What’s the arrangement that you’re talking about? What’s the big plan here? Fill me in, man…” 

Hesper walked to a corner of the banquet hall with a smile on her face, hoping that when those people who only wanted to chat with her saw her stance, they would know that she did not want to be disturbed by too many people. 

In fact, Hesper came here this time around only to meet new people and form connections, but those who took the initiative to walk up to her were not the people that she wanted. 

The nature of this charity gala was different. Everyone who came had to bring a small item to contribute to the auction. The money earned from the auction would be used for charity, and the organizer would only collect a small share to pay for the tax. 

After thinking about it for a long time, Hesper did not contribute anything too expensive. She only brought an authentic painting by a famous artist that she got her hands on earlier. Its market value was not low, but it was not the highest either. 

After all, Hesper did not need to steal the limelight as a newcomer. 

However, Hesper only stood in the corner, and her gaze moved casually from corner to corner, surveying her surroundings. By doing so, she still managed to catch the attention of many people. 

There were many ladies present, including some well-known celebrities, socialites, and famous online influencers, but Hesper’s appearance still surpassed everyone else’s. In fact, Hesper did not even try to dress up for the occasion. She simply matched all her accessories to her gown, but her self-confidence and elegance were something that no one else could imitate even if they tried. 

The last person who made people feel this way seemed to be Rickard…. 

When everyone present thought of this in unison, Rickard pierced through the silence and stepped into 

the hall. 

‘Rickard Duval?’ 

Hesper was swirling the juice in her glass out of boredom but instantly stopped the moment she saw Rickard. 

‘Why would he appear at such an occasion?’
