All of a sudden, someone grabbed the invitation letter from her hand when she was so tired.
There was nothing on her hand. When she came to herself and saw the invitation card in Maynard's hand, she was filled with anger.
When Elly and she grappled with each other, Maynard didn't make any move. When they ran out of energy, he would be the winner.
Viola was on the verge of breaking down. How she wished she could put the sack on him and beat him up.
When Maynard, who was sitting on the hanging chair and holding the invitation card in his hand, wore a somewhat provoking smile on his face. She grasped his sleeve at once and said coquettishly, "Mr. Chu, look at you. Since Yesenia is so popular, she invites you to attend her 25th birthday party three days later. Why didn't you tell me about it?"
She blamed herself in her heart. If she had known it earlier, she would not have played the recorder at all. She would have tried her best to please him so as to take this chance to attend the banquet.
"When should I tell you?" Maynard's voice was long and magnetic, indicating danger.
A shiver went down Viola's spine.
Elly, who was standing beside, was unwilling to give up. She went over and bumped into her with her shoulder. Fortunately, Viola held the table with her hands so that she wouldn't fall to the ground.
She took a deep breath and raised her head. The scene she saw almost pissed her off.
Wearing a pair of red and tearful eyes, Elly imitate her and grabbed Maynard's broken sleeve, saying, "Maynard, I want to go to the party with you."
At the first sight of the invitation, Viola thought it was not a bad idea. Not to be outdone, she walked forward, pushed through him and reached directly for the invitation card in Maynard's hand.
It seemed that Maynard had been prepared for that. He opened the paw of Viola and warned in a casual manner, "Reporter Qi, you'd better be honest. There is only one invitation card."
The implication was that if anyone was hurt during the scramble, no one would get away with it.
"He's right. Don't try to stir up trouble!" Elly was just mocking at her.
Viola was choked. She rubbed her hands embarrassingly, pretending to be surprised and considering for the other party. She asked with a smile, "Mr. Chu, there is a word in the invitation that you can take a female companion with you. Have you found the female companion who can go with you?"
After that, she winked at Maynard and gave him a few slight coughs, as if to remind him of the fact that she was a woman and she could play with him.
However, nobody could predict what would happen next.
Maynard walked to the transparent French window. His slender figure was standing against the sun with his hands behind his back. Looking down at the small crowd on the ground like ants, he opened his mouth slightly and said, "No need!"
Her firm attitude made it difficult for her to reveal what she was going to say next.
On the other hand, Elly was stunned. Her eyes were full of worship and her cheeks were blushing red.
Viola was stunned by the delicacy of the little woman. She thought that Maynard could be so domineering, but she wouldn't have the chance to go with him if he didn't bring a female companion.
As her wishful thinking was about to be gone, a faint smile appeared on Viola's face. "Mr. Chu, you'd better not do that."
"What do you mean?" Maynard didn't turn around.
A smile appeared on her face. "Mr. Chu, you're alone. It would be a great pity to see a pair of couples there."
She thought that her acting skills were flawless, but she didn't expect that Maynard had seen them through.
A dark light flashed across Maynard's eyes. He knew what she was thinking, but he didn't debunk her.
