Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 967

Ximena was at the party, and she was wearing a slim-fitting pink dress, which she designed and made herself. In an indifferent manner, she greeted and talked with people she knew. She was no longer the woman known only because she was with Aaron. Now, she had her own position in QY Island. Women from rich and powerful families, celebrities, as well as people who liked pursuing fashion surrounded and adored her.

With a faint smile, she responded to their questions. In spite of the huge block separating her and Aaron emotionally, she always put on a front for him in social occasions, such as this one.

Vivi and Zoey were at the said party as well, and they were chatting with several women who were the same age with them. Seeing how popular and respected Ximena was at the party, both of them were greatly annoyed by her, and it showed on their twisted faces.

No matter how much the duo glared at her, Ximena completely them and continued with socializing with other people. The strength to deal with them was not in her that evening. Besides, she had been immune to such kind of thing since a long time ago. It stopped fazing her.

"Miss Mo," Ken came to her at one point and said respectfully,"His Highness is receiving an important guest. He hopes you can go and meet them."

Hearing that, Ximena turned her head to look to the direction of Aaron. She saw a handsome yet seemingly distant man taking to Aaron. In her mind, Ximena noted how chiseled his face was. This added to her notion that the man looked like a Greek sculpture - perfect, but cold, hard, and not feeling at all.

Withdrawing her sight from the man, Ximena nodded to Ken. After apologizing to the person she had been talked to before Ken came to her, she walked towards Aaron together with Ken.

Seeing Ximena come to him, a faint smile appeared on Aaron's face. When she arrived by his side, Aaron turned to his guests and introduced her. "This is my..." he started, almost hesitating. "Female companion, Ximena Mo," he ended, proud of finding the right words. He didn't say that she was his woman because she no longer liked him calling her like that in public now. "This is Mrs. Long, Molly Xia," Aaron introduced the woman by the side of that handsome yet cold man to Ximena.

"Nice to meet you, Mrs. Long!" Ximena greeted her with a smile while looking at her eyes. Seeing the slight shyness on Molly's face as well as the happiness shining and spilling over her eyes, Ximena could not help but envy her.

Also with a smile on her face, Molly said,"Nice to meet you. It's okay to call me Molly."

"Great! Hello, Molly!" Ximena said still with a wide smile and a slight nod. In a neither intimate nor distant voice, she said,"You can call me Ximena."

The two women felt like old friends when they first met, though they didn't seem to be very passionate in talking with each other. But then, as their chat went deeper, Ximena gradually found that Molly was a kind of person she liked— a woman who looked meek but was trying her best to be strong. It was not until now that she got to know that the handsome yet cold man she saw a while ago was the boss of Grand Night Casino, Mr. Brian Long, a man Aaron had mentioned to her occasionally before.
