The heat of his sturdy and powerful arm was printed on her skin directly through the thin dress.
Emily swallowed a mouthful of saliva quietly. She felt as if her skin was scalded with tiny lumps. What was strange was that after he wrapped his arms around her waist, with the help of his strength, she actually began to walk steadily.
The banquet hall was at the left end of the first floor. The banquet hall was resplendent and magnificent, and the beauties were walking up and down in their splendid dresses.
It was like a scene that would only appear in movies. It was the first time that Emily had ever in such place. Even during the annual dinner celebrations that she had interviewed before, she had never come to such an occasion.
As soon as they entered the banquet hall, a girl wearing a white dress came running towards them.
"Simon!"
The girl shouted sweetly when she came up and shyly waved the hem of her dress inlaid with flowers. "As soon as I heard that you would attend this banquet for Wilson tonight, I asked my dad to bring me here! I've been here for a long time. Simon, can I be your companion?"
The smile on Simon's thin lips remained unchanged. He pulled Emily, who wanted to withdraw, forward and said, "Sorry, I already have a companion!"
When the girl heard this, she immediately ran away and angrily turned back to glare at her.
Emily blinked her eyes. That's not what she meant!
She was the one who took the blame for him!
The banquet was very lively. The purpose of Emily's visit was acting as a mascot. She just need to smile at anyone who came to say hi. Fortunately, Simon did not seem to be keen on this kind of occasion. In addition to greeting the host of the banquet, he did not chat with too many people. In the middle, he went to the bathroom. Emily ran to the long table to eat.
Anyway, it wouldn't cost her any money, so she didn't hesitate to fill her stomach.
When she filled the white porcelain plate with food again and was about to pick up a piece of egg- yolk puff and put it in her mouth, a slender figure appeared in front of her to block the light from the top of her head. "You look so beautiful in this dress!"
Emily looked up and saw a young boy standing in front of her.
He looked like a young college student, so the mature suit didn't match his obviously. He should be a child from a rich family who came with his parents.
When Emilye didn't graduate, as the vice president of the student union, she always helped entertain new students, so there were often boys coming to chat her up. Emily suddenly felt a little nostalgic for the scene. She couldn't help but tease him, "Am I good looking, or is my dress?"
"You! Of course you!" The boy smiled shyly and scratched his head. "Miss, can you give me your phone numbers?"
Seeing that there was no trace of blasphemousness in his eyes, Emily smiled and nodded. "Sure!"
After exchanging contact details, the boy's parents seemed to call him, so he left shyly.
Emily shrugged her shoulders, turned around, and got a fright.
It was unknown when Simon came back from the bathroom. He stood there quietly with his hands in his pockets. Her amorous eyes narrowed slightly at this time. He said to Emily, "There is a vegetable leaf on your teeth."
Hearing this, Emily immediately took out her phone to cheek her teeth in a hurry.
Just now she was laughing at the young boy. If her teeth were stained with the leaves of the vegetables, it would be too shameful!
She looked at herslf for a long time, and there was nothing on her white teeth. When she saw the teasing smile in Simon's eyes, Emily knew that she had been fooled again. The banquet was western-style, and there were all delicate cakes. Where did the vegetable leaves come from!

Hate deception and Abby and Dylan take the cake ,ugh...
NO!!! Tina belongs with Wilson…. Let Dylan and Abby get together...
Wow, once again the villain messes up the true love, Abby needs to go back abroad. And Tina’s true identity as the daughter of Bill Ambrey needs to be exposed! Then the families can “convenience marry” !! Abby is a witch....
Too bad Wilson can’t figure out that his and Tina’s ex’s and his cousin Desmond are conniving creeps!...
Anthea is so stupid, lying and leaving the man who loves her more than life itself. 🤬...
She deserves to be unhappy, being with someone she doesn’t love because of resentment for the exact thing she is doing, hopefully she ends up with no one. Calvin is a wimp and doesn’t love her, just wants a wife to please his family....
So the same basic story as Simon and Addy but stupid Emily is going to marry him! What a hypocrite! Ugh...
Emily gets more stupid every chapter, when did she pickup Calvin as a fiancé!!?? This story line is awful….very sad to do to Simon what she “thought” he had done but didn’t. She is truly a dumb woman. Simon never loved or really even cared for Addy….what the hell is she doing with someone she doesn’t even know or like/love. Awful 😢...
Emily is a fool, don’t let go of the man who truly loves you. Let go of the past, of which he did nothing but help someone who saved his life, and be happy with him… he is your soulmate....
Nothing like cutting off your nose to spite your face Emily. Just stupid! Ugh 😩...
