The Billionaire's Maid Bride novel Chapter 172

Allison chuckled; she often hitched a ride with Daisy and was familiar with Cliff. Hearing his words, she cheekily responded, "So, Cliff, I wouldn't be pretty without makeup?"

"Ms. Zimmer, you are always pretty."

Allison looked at herself in the rear-view mirror. With makeup on, she looked more like Penelope. Their auras were different, but the face...

She shook her head, not wanting to think about that woman anymore.

The car stopped at the pier. The birthday party was on a cruise not far away. Cliff said, "Ms. Zimmer, I'll wait here. Just give me a shout when you're ready to leave."

"Okay."

Allison grabbed the gift box and put on Daisy's sunglasses that were left in the car before getting on the boat.

It was the biggest tourist cruise in Northfield, the Star 089.

The banquet hall was three stories.

The deck was bustling. Allison walked into the foyer, told the server she was attending Mr. Jewell Gage's birthday party, and was immediately ushered upstairs.

As she was walking past the second-floor banquet room, the door happened to open. People in formal attire seemed to be attending a business event.

The server said, "This way, please. Mr. Jewell's birthday party is on the third floor."

On the third floor, a group of young men and women were celebrating a birthday.

Allison walked in, and a girl spotted her, "Who are you? You're so late. We're about to cut the cake."

Allison, of course, couldn't say that Daisy had been arranged for a blind date. All she could say was, "Daisy was unexpectedly busy today. But she insisted that I bring you a birthday gift."

Her words were vague, neither clear nor wrong.

Jewell didn't care about these details. He just wanted to chat more with Allison. After several failed attempts to start a conversation, he felt embarrassed and left with his glass.

Allison ate some food from the buffet table. Daisy kept sending her messages, complaining about her blind date and how every second was torture.

After sending Daisy a comforting emoji, Allison glanced at the time, looked around at the colorful crowd in the banquet hall, and then got up to leave.

She carefully walked downstairs, wearing high heels to match her outfit. She was careful with each step.
