Sir madame has run away again (Lily and Carson) novel Chapter 396

Chapter 396
“Not really, young master Dylan has been busy. Tonight is the first time he has officially asked me out.”
“Well, with the first, there can always be a second time.” I comforted Jessica as she patted her shoulders.
“Lily, I see you’ve permed your hair. This is something new! Your usual style is younger and fresher, but not with your hair styled, you look charming and sexy!” Jessica praised. Isabella and I got our hair done earlier. Earlier, Eric had mentioned that he didn’t like my permed hair, so now, I insisted on getting big curls just to match my knee-length black dress.
Aside from fixing my hair, I just chose a plain dress and accessories as I didn’t intend to be in the spotlight. Feeling unsettled by his praise, I said, “Speak for yourself. You looked so much more dazzling than me!”
“Lily, you
look beautiful today”, praised Dylan too as he looked me up and down.
“Please. Stop teasing me like that when you’re the only one with a drop-dead gorgeous lady right by your side!”
Casting a glance at Jessica, Dylan managed a half smile. Unlike normal couples, I noticed that her smile was without affection.
Feeling my heart sink, I remembered that my father had asked Dylan to bring Callie to the cocktail party, but Dylan had refused. To deal with my dad, Dylan invited Jessica at the last moment?
Obviously, Jessica had a huge crush on Dylan. However, it looked like Dylan didn’t feel the same and was just using her to deal with my dad. What if Dylan treats Jessica the same way he treated his past colleagues? How am I supposed to explain this to Jessica?
While I was deep in thought, someone came over to talk to Dylan. Seeing this, Isabella pulled me away.
With such distinctive traits, Isabella always stood out whenever she attended events like this along with Jeremy. On this day, there was clearly a big difference in her dressing style.
Taking our places in a quiet corner, I couldn’t help but tease Isabella. “Are you feeling a little disappointed that you can’t be the center of attention tonight?”
“Of course!” Isabella denied my claim. “Do I look like that kind of person to you?”
“You are not?” 1 joked.
“Hold your tongue. Now is a good time to get some rest and have a few bites. Young Master Tyson is probably too busy greeting guests right now. Once most of the guests arrive, he’ll be freer then. After that, it’s our chance to talk to him.”
“OK!” Nodding, I agreed with his suggestions.
With that, we went to the buffet table to get something to eat. The buffet was sumptuous and everything tasted just delicious. With the beautiful music playing in the background, there were people starting to gather and dance in the middle of the dance floor.
Grabbing two glasses of wine from the passing waiter, Isabella scanned the room and pointed in a direction. “Lily, can you see that person over there?”
“Who?” I asked as I looked in the direction she pointed.
