But Eden, she was too familiar with Jasper. Even if he turned his back to her, she could still recognize that it was Jasper, not to mention his side.
She wanted to call Jasper. But she refrained because Victor was by her side.
She also took her eyes off and walked to the food hall with Victor.
"Look, isn't that Mr. Alwynn? I've never seen him bring a female companion before. How come?"
"It's him. He is the well-known person on the list of the richest people in River City! Many women drool over him! How come he has a female companion today? Oh, my heart was broken."
"Ah! He's really handsome! I wish the person standing next to him is me."
Some women stood by the side and looked at Eden and Victor with envy.
"Go, go, go! Let's have a look!" Victor lady wearing a dress whispered.
"Wait for me!" Other women followed her.
On the other side, Victor walked with Eden all the way and greeted the people he knew. Eden also knew lots of charming men.
This was the first time that Victor introduced his female companion to them.
A good-looking man in a black suit looked at Victor and smiled significantly, "Mr. Alwynn, I've never seen you bring a female companion here before."
Victor glanced at Eden, and his expression was the same as usual. "Mr. Welch, what's strange about this?"
Jarred laughed, "Really strange. Didn't you notice that everyone was looking at you?"
Hearing this, Eden looked around. Most of the people around her were looking at her and Victor with strange expressions, but she was calm as usual.
She was just with Victor, and it was not a shady thing.
Victor didn't want to talk with Jarred, "Mr. Welch, make yourself at home."
As he spoke, he left with Eden expressionlessly.
They sat by the window, where they could see the splendid Marriott Hotel.
The sign of the hotel was bright and resplendent. Seeing that, Eden smile slightly.
Victor also looked out of the window for a while, then he whispered in Eden's ear, "Eden, Wait for me here. Don't go anywhere."
Eden looked at him with frowned eyebrows, then smiled, "Victor, you're so bossy. What if I want to go to the restroom?"
Victor laughed evilly and whispered, "I'll go with you."
Eden was speechless to his words.
She stared at Victor with her eyes opened wide.
"Is he crazy??" she thought.
Victor didn’t think there was anything wrong with his words. Because when they were young, he did everything to stay close to her.
"I'll bring you the food you like. Stick around. I'll be back very soon," Victor said, glancing at the area. The lights here were a bit dim. It was a good place to conceal Eden.
The women in the distance looked at the intimate interaction between them, feeling jealous and excited.
Victor left, and the light which was blocked out by him cast into Eden's eyes. She blinked and gradually realized that she was so spoiled by Victor.
She looked down at her phone and suddenly saw Abigail sending a message in the chat group which includes us two and Jasper.
"I heard that you two went to the banquet tonight. Did you think of bringing me, a man who has just returned to China and has no job?"
Eden smiled and replied, "Abby, are you coming?"
