So that was it.
Xanthea looked at him with gratitude. “Then I should thank you, Movie King, for thinking so thoroughly.”
“It’s fine, we’re partners after all,” Benjamin said, standing up with a smile. “But Xan, you’re still so formal.”
He deliberately emphasized the nickname “Xan,” making Xanthea suddenly remember the age he had reiterated the last time. She quickly apologized, “Oh, sorry! I forgot!”
“By the way, it’s my first time participating in a launch event. Should I change into something more formal?”
She had assumed the event was just about going through a simple procedure and had casually worn a set of leisure clothes over, not expecting there to be so much etiquette involved. Seeing Benjamin in a tailored white suit made her feel underdressed by comparison.
“No need, you look pretty good like that.”
Benjamin scanned her from head to toe.
The last time he saw her, she was wearing a dark long dress, paired with her radiant and captivating face, stunning everyone.
Today, in simple casual wear, she looked like a vibrant girl straight out of a comic book, pure and lively, a sight for sore eyes.
“Uncle thinks you look great too. It’s all because our Xan is naturally beautiful, even a burlap sack would look good on you!” Oliver affectionately ruffled her hair. “We should head to the launch event now, it’s getting late.”
“Okay!”
