At that very moment, the couple’s radiance illuminated the entire place, making it even more dazzling.
“Mr. and Mrs. Johnston!”
Some familiar people approached and started chatting with Jared.
Gradually, others also gathered around, surrounding Jared and Nicole in the middle.
After listening to their small talk, which was mostly about business matters, Nicole gestured to Jared
and quietly excused herself from the crowd.
She let out a sigh of relief once she stepped out. She looked around the venue. However, she did not
see anyone she knew, so she found a quiet spot and sat down.
The charity banquet was attended by celebrities from all walks of life in San Joto. But since it was still
early, everyone was mingling freely. Nicole, on the other hand, did not feel like engaging in
conversation with anyone and wanted to sit quietly by herself, waiting for Jared to join her later.
Suddenly, a shadow loomed over her. Nicole’s eyebrows furrowed as she raised her head to see who it
was.
“Leo!” she exclaimed in surprise. “You’re here for the event too?”
“Yes, I received an invitation,” Lawrence replied. He smiled as he sat beside Nicole.
Curious, she asked, “Alone?”
“Ian went to park the car,” Lawrence replied nonchalantly.
For some reason, Nicole felt unsure why, but there seemed to be a bit of tension between them.
She suddenly recalled the account she saw on the Hunters last night. She hesitated and frowned in
confusion but decided not to ask about it.
Lawrence began chatting with her, his smile carrying a hint of playfulness. “All alone here, huh? I
suppose you don’t enjoy such lively events?”
“Probably because I don’t really know anyone here,” Nicole replied, not thinking too much about it.
She just did not want to talk to anyone since she was not acquainted with them. She did not even want
to talk about work matters with those she had business relations with. It was better to sit quietly by
herself.
“Same here. Guess I’ll just stick with someone I know.” Lawrence looked like he was going to stay for a
while.
Nicole could not help but smile defeatedly. “You don’t have to keep me company. It’s kind of necessary
to socialize today.”
She noticed that everyone was trying to get close to the people they wanted something from. Even if
they could not discuss business projects today, building relationships now would only make things go
smoother in the future.
Lawrence did not seem to care and replied, “It’s alright. Since it’s a charity banquet, there’s no harm in
focusing on doing good.”
As they chatted, Lawrence’s gentle demeanor attracted some curious glances from others.
Nicole narrowed her eyes as she sensed their impure gazes. After all, where there were people, there
would be gossip.
“It’s about time. Let’s go to our seats.” Nicole figured that it was better to maintain a certain distance
from Lawrence at this moment.
As Jared’s wife, it would be strange if she chatted with others and not with Jared.
Seeing Nicole stand up, Lawrence understood her intentions and could only comply with her decision.
As they were about to move toward their seats, Nicole’s eyes widened slightly as they met two people
coming their way.
It was Snow. So naturally, the person beside her must be Harvey.
Nicole glanced at Harvey discreetly. He was indeed the wealthy and handsome man who captivated
Snow. But unfortunately, his heart was dark, and his good looks were meaningless.
