The Enchanting Doctor With a Bite novel Chapter 52

"Okay. How about we grab lunch together?" Samuel asked.

Iris was more than happy to oblige. She contained her excitement and flashed him a dignified smile. "Sure."

She had been worried the whole night after she left the police department. Now that she was sure that yesterday's incident had not affected him, she could finally let out a sigh of relief internally.

Kylie pursed her lips, turned around, and left. Iris scoffed. Was Kylie mad or jealous?

Samuel merely glanced at Kylie out of the corner of his eyes. Then, the warmth on his strikingly handsome face was gone, and he was back to his cold and aloof self. He turned around and went to the VIP room, with everyone following him fervently.

"Iris, Mr. Vance is so nice to you!"

"I have only seen such a spectacle in the television drama. He's like the king of old who walked among his people."

Iris blushed, but she rolled her eyes at her friend in an attempt to appear dignified. "Cut it out with the jokes, guys."

"We're not joking. We are jealous of you, but we're giving you our blessings, too."

Kylie didn't go to the lounge. Instead, she took a plate and helped herself to two pieces of delicate desserts.

After the bootlickers flattered Iris, they took a dig at Kylie, too. "Iris, you will become the wife of the CEO of the Prestige Group. You're the real deal, unlike a certain someone who's just all show, no substance."

One had to wonder what these young ladies were thinking. Kylie wasn't bothered by their words. After she had eaten the desserts, she headed to the research presentation hall.

Shortly after, Iris and her gang also entered the same hall and found seats for themselves. She swept her eyes across the hall, but she didn't see Kylie. She couldn't help but curl her lips into a smirk.

So, what if Kylie got the lanyard with a red string? All she could do was grab some attention at the party hall and eat some desserts. After all, she was nothing but a country bumpkin.
