Chapter 97 Meeting Her Ex Again
Later, Raymond naturally introduced her to these business tycoons. Although it had been six or seven years since Bethany left this circle, born as a lady of a rich family, she could still socialize with ease.
Raymond was surprised by how poised and graceful Bethany was on such a grand occasion. She was so familiar with etiquette and social manners that she could socialize with them effortlessly.
As the melodious jazz music was played, everyone instinctively paired up and started dancing. Raymond gently wrapped his arm around Bethany's waist, and the latter naturally rested her hand on his shoulder.
They had an amazing mutual understanding, seamlessly coordinating their every move with perfect harmony.
"You did really well just now," Raymond praised her and then asked curiously, "Did you attend this kind of banquet frequently in the past?"
She wouldn't be so proficient in socialization if she didn't attend banquets frequently.
"Not really," Bethany replied. "When my father was still alive, he would take me to such occasions."
Bethany had mentioned to him before that she was born into a wealthy family but her family declined later. It seemed like her birth family must be very wealthy before.
"Well, that piques my interest in your previous family background," Raymond remarked.
Actually, Bethany had planned to tell him about these things before, but...
"You won't expect me to talk about it on this kind of occasion, will you?"
As soon as she finished speaking, he tightened his grasp around her waist, almost lifting her off the ground.
"No, keep it for later, and tell me slowly..."
He whispered in her ear. It tickled, but on the surface, Bethany remained composed and still danced with him gracefully.
Raymond was very satisfied with her reaction. He had a growing sense that the more he got to know Bethany, the more novelty he felt.
After a while, there came some exclamations from the entrance. And Bethany also faintly heard that.
"Isn't that Mr. Adriel Tucker, the vice chairman of Ocean International Company? I saw in the news that Ocean International Company has established a construction company, and their first project is Mr. Zavala's entertainment city. It's truly remarkable."
"I've heard many of Mr. Tucker's legends. He has risen to become the vice chairman of Ocean International Company in five or six years. It's such a short period! He's really a legend in the business world."
"Yes, seeing him by myself today makes me believe that he is truly extraordinary."
...
Bethany had already heard plenty of flattering words a while ago. As this was very common on occasions like this, she didn't take this to her heart. However...
"I appreciate your kind words, but the construction company under Ocean International Company has just started. I'm new to Parkville, and I hope to learn from all of you," Adriel responded.
Bethany felt the voice familiar.
She turned to look at the entrance, and when she saw his face clearly, her heart seemed to stop beating. She who was dancing with Raymond became flustered and accidentally stepped on Raymond's foot.
"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry." Realizing that she had stepped on Raymond's foot, Bethany quickly apologized. Fearing that this would draw Adriel's attention, she lowered her head in a hurry and continued to dance with Raymond, pretending as if nothing had happened.
But how could she truly act as if nothing had happened? Her heart was in turmoil.
It had been seven years since. Adriel had disappeared from her world for a whole seven years! She had imagined what it would be like to reunite with him, but she never expected it to happen like this.
