The luxury car rolled to a stop, and the driver promptly stepped out to open the door. Gavin emerged, his tall and commanding presence instantly drawing attention.
Terence and Daisy quickly descended the steps to greet him.
"Mr. Cooper, it’s wonderful to see you," Terence said, a flattering smile on his face.
"You’ve come at the perfect time," Daisy added, her tone enthusiastic. "Please, come aboard."
Gavin gave a faint nod. "Of course."
The banquet was being held on the third deck of the ship, where many guests had already gathered. Some stood out on the deck, admiring the sunset over the water.
Gavin’s arrival caused a ripple of surprise among the crowd, but the reaction quickly turned into a flurry of polite greetings as people eagerly approached him.
Jolie noticed him immediately. His presence was commanding, making him stand out effortlessly, like a lighthouse towering over a crowded harbor.
Her brows furrowed slightly.
Why was he here?
She distinctly remembered not delivering the invitation to him.
Knock, knock.
The sound of the door opening pulled her from her thoughts.
Turning around, she saw Daisy entering the room.
"Jolie, it seems Mr. Cooper has high hopes for you. You must seize this opportunity and do your best to win his favor," Daisy said, taking Jolie’s hand with a pleased smile.
Jolie didn’t respond, her expression indifferent and distant.
Daisy noticed her reluctance and asked, "Jolie, what’s on your mind?"
Looking up, Jolie met her gaze. "If I don’t like it, do I have to do it anyway?"
Daisy reached out and gently stroked her cheek.
"What nonsense are you saying? Where else in Larbor City could you find someone more outstanding than Mr. Cooper? If he’s showing interest in you, you should take the chance. Becoming Mrs. Cooper is a dream countless women would give anything for."
Jolie pressed her lips together, remaining silent.
Daisy patted Jolie’s hand and said, "Get ready and come down in a bit."
"Alright," Jolie replied softly.
As Daisy left, Jolie turned back to the window, her gaze drifting to the deck.
