Obsession With Mr. Right novel Chapter 284

The hall was filled with arriving guests when Valeria made it back after she had finished her conversation with William.

Mason felt a little awkward when he arrived and saw that Valeria and Kyrie were welcoming their guests with open arms.He decided to shake it off and greeted Valeria with a smile instead, "Congratulations on your promotion, Valeria!"

Valeria could not offend any guests as the host, so she could not ignore him even though she detested Mason.

Instead, she welcomed him warmly as well, "Welcome, Mr .Eich!"

Kyrie interrupted her, "Greetings Mr.Eich, I've heard that your new company is doing well!"

Mason glanced at Valeria before explaining quickly, "Of course not, we've only just started operating after all."

Valeria was surprised to hear that Mason had started a new company.

However, she decided to ignore it as she had no ties with him anymore.

Mason was disappointed at Valeria's cold reaction as he had expected her to be shocked at the news.

The last two guests, Declan and Charles arrived after one another.

Valeria smiled and greeted Charles happily as she thought of her plans, "Welcome, Mr.Howard!"

Charles replied with a fake smile, "Congratulations on your promotion, Valeria! I'm sure that you'll bring our company to greater heights as our new Vice President!"

"Oh, thank you for your kind words, Mr.Howard!"

In contrast, Valeria had greeted Declan coldly.

However, Declan decided to ignore her attitude and headed to his seat instead.

Declan was upset to see Ashley taking the seat next to him as he had assumed Valeria would be sitting there instead.

Kyrie and Ashley then stood up to propose a toast once Valeria had finished her opening speech.

Once Declan saw that Valeria had not drunk a sip of the wine in her glass, he immediately questioned her, "Why aren't you drinking tonight, Vice President Brown?"

"Please forgive me, but I can't drink any alcohol tonight as I'm not feeling well!" Valeria replied blatantly.

"I see, but I would still like to send my good wishes to you.Could we replace the alcohol with juice instead?"

Without waiting for her reply, Declan started giving out orders to his men, "Bring a cup of fresh juice! Immediately!"

Valeria did not stop the waiter from leaving as she knew that her plans had begun to unfold.

Instead, she picked up her phone to drop a text to Lamont, "The show has begun!"

"Don't worry, the juice is safe!" Lamont replied.

Valeria smiled slightly before she kept her phone and started to entertain the guests who were sitting next to her.

The waiter had been ordered to pick up the ‘special’ jug of juice that had been prepared for Valeria.He immediately returned to the hall after retrieving the juice and served it to Valeria.

Without waiting, Valeria lifted her cup to propose a toast.

She had drunk three cups of juice in total after the three rounds of toasts that had been proposed.

Valeria stretched out her hand to support her forehead once she had returned to her seat, "I think I'm feeling a little dizzy, could it be a fever?"

"Why don't you take a rest? "Kyrie asked while putting on a concerned expression on his face.

"Would it be rude for me to leave the banquet halfway?"
