VICTORIA’S POV
I fell into a complete daze just by her appearance. Recently, I have got to know about something that she did in the past in my investigation.
However, I was too occupied with my recent pleasures and Papa’s health, so I didn’t have time to think about her and her deeds.
Moreover, I did not want to bring her into my life, so I avoided her topic until I saw her at the banquet tonight.
Her presence raised many questions, and I certainly didn’t feel comfortable watching her.
I turned my gaze subconsciously and searched for my man, Alessandro. Wait... Where is he?
Wasn’t he talking on the phone just a few seconds ago? Where did he leave now?
Did he see Camilla? Does he know about her presence in tonight’s banquet from before? If he does, I swear, I am gonna kill him!
I watched Camilla again. Perhaps I remained unnoticed as she exchanged warm greetings and flashed a beaming smile at others, seemingly unaware of my presence. Oh, I know only how fake she is.
Watching her at the party, I felt a little nauseous as the warning of something obnoxious. I stood up, and Sage might have felt something was wrong as he stepped close to me.
“Anything wrong, ma’am?” He asked, and I shook my head.
It also could be that I am thinking too much. But, I can’t deny the uncomfortableness that is rising inside me.
“No, I just want to go to the washroom. You stay here, and I will be back in a minute.”
“I will...” He tried to retort, but I shook my head firmly. “No, stay here. I will be back soon.”
He stepped back reluctantly, and I went to the washroom.
Thankfully, the place is empty. I freshened myself and opened my purse to touch up my makeup a little.
I did light makeup, so the red lips are vibrant and take all the attention.
As I started touching up, the bathroom door opened, and I heard footsteps. Without bothering who the person was, I concentrated on myself, but I guess that wasn’t my luck for the night as I heard,
‘Oh, so I didn’t see wrong, huh?’
Fuck! God! The same annoying tone! Why the fuck she has to be here?!
My seething anger was bubbling within, yet I had to mask it with a façade of a cheerful grin.
“Oh, Good Evening, Miss White.” I gritted her.
