"Hahaha, well, she used to be my customer. Now she's very famous abroad. I just mentioned her casually. Don't think too much!"
Jameson laughed awkwardly and got the matter over with. Meredith frowned. She knew very well that Chloe must have known Derek, or else his reaction wouldn't be so strange.
However, since Jameson didn't want to say it, Meredith didn't have to make a detailed inquiry. She sat down tamely and let him make her look good.
Meredith walked out, lifting the hem of her dress. Derek looked at her with a flash of surprise in his eyes. After being remoulded by Jameson, her beauty was fully developed. Moreover, unlike the common tacky beauty, she had a unique feeling of lotus coming out of clear water.
"Hehe, how is it? This time you go out, you will definitely be a perfect match." Jameson said this on purpose to make up for the mistake just now.
Meredith was a little embarrassed to hear that. How dare she have the delusion that they were a perfect match? Moreover, the Xaviers had repeatedly asked her to keep her identity secret, so she quickly clarified.
"Mr. Curry, you misunderstand. I don't have that kind of relationship with Mr. Xavier. I'm just one of his employees."
Derek was in a good mood at first. But after hearing that Meredith was so anxious to distance herself from him, his good mood disappeared. Jameson looked at the two people in surprise.
Of course, he didn't believe what Meredith said at all. How could Derek bring his employee out to do such a thing?
"Let's go." Derek regained his usual aloofness because he was in a bad mood.
Meredith did not know how she made Derek unhappy again. But he left, she could not stay there by herself. So she could only lift the hem of her skirt and follow him hard wearing a pair of high-heel shoes.
Derek didn't care if she was walking too hard. Instead, he walked very fast with his long legs.
Meredith trotted into the car. She hadn't worn this kind of high-heel shoes for a long time, so her feet hurt after she walked a few steps.
But looking at Derek's long face, she did not dare to complain. She just muttered in her heart. Did he get angry because of the woman named Chloe?
Thinking about it, Meredith suddenly felt a little upset. It wasn't she who took initiative to mention Chloe. But Derek vented his anger on Meredith, which was unreasonable.
"Buckle up." Derek sat down and opened his thin lips slightly, reminding her coldly.
"Oh, I see." Meredith obediently fastened her seat belt, and they never spoke again along the way.
Soon, the car stopped at the entrance of the venue.
"You go first." Derek told Meredith to get out of the car and he went out to deal with other things.
Meredith walked to the venue alone, feeling puzzled. It was Derek who asked her to be his female companion, and it was he who left her here alone. How could this man be so temperamental?
However, Meredith was too lazy to think so much. She had to obey Derek's orders, so she walked into the huge venue.
As soon as Meredith appeared, she immediately attracted the attention of many men present. Her white dress was decorated with a lot of broken diamonds. The sun shone on it, like sprinkling a layer of starlight on it, making it look dreamy and beautiful.
Meredith blushed when she felt their visions. But she soon persuaded herself not to get stage fright because this was a good opportunity to train herself.
Ava, who was chatting with several men, also noticed this scene. Awkwardly, one of the men she was talking to had his eyes lit up after seeing Meredith and walked over with champagne. Obviously, he was interested in Meredith.
