Chapter 395
Inclining our heads slightly, Isabella and I saw Camille walk in while holding Eric’s arm. Frankly, I was so used to seeing men in dark suits, but after seeing Eric in a white suit now, I realized he was an eye-catcher.
Some said that people needed clothes to enhance their appearance, but I thought it made sense to think otherwise too; only a handsome person like Eric could wear a white suit so well.
Standing beside him was Camille, in an off-the-shoulder red evening gown. With her hair all tied up, she accentuated her slender neckline, along with her diamond necklace.
Standing next to each other, the two looked like the hot item.
“Have you seen the necklace Camille is wearing? This is the last edition of Cartier. Eric is so nice to her.”
With a snort, I scoffed, “That’s called sponsorship. She is advertising for Cartier without getting paid.”
When Eric and Camille entered, many people came to greet them, and soon they were surrounded by a crowd.
“Lily, look!” Glancing at the front door, I saw my dad and Callie walking in. Wearing a mermaid-cut white evening gown, Callie, who was already beautiful, looked absolutely stunning now.
“Isn’t that President Hawkins? And who is beside him could be Miss Lilian Hawkins?” I heard the conversation of the people next to me.
“Judging by his appearance and age, it looked like it.”
“I hear Lilian Hawkins is pretty. I guess the rumors are true after all. Her beauty can almost be compared to that of a celebrity like Camille Sanders.”
“She is a snake in the grass!” Isabella growled, as she couldn’t stand everyone around showering Callie with compliments.
“My dear Mrs. Craig, please don’t lose your temper. If anyone overhears you, they’ll think you’re just jealous.”
“Please! I wasn’t even jealous of you, so why would I be jealous of her?” Isabella retorted with a snort. “I’m just angry! You should have stopped your father from bringing Callie here. Why are you such an idiot? If it wasn’t for her dad, she wouldn’t even have the chance to be here!”
“Calm! I didn’t stop my father from bringing her because it would be more convenient for me.”
“Without Callie here, it will still be convenient for us to take a walk.” With that, I saw my dad and Callie walking through the crowd.
“Lily!” A voice sounded from behind. When I turned around, I saw Jessica, who was wearing a red evening gown, but it was a different red than Camille’s. Camille’s red was more of a dazzling, bright kind of red; while Jessica’s red was more alluring and sexy. Each of them had their own charms.
When I was about to ask who she came with, I swallowed my words as I saw Dylan. So Dylan is the one who brought Jessica here.
“Looks like everything is going well between you two?” Lowering my voice, I teased Jessica.
