At the banquet.
It was buzzing with crowds and drinks. Before it started, the sight was already dazzling.
Stella and Angelina followed behind Bradley, looking very much like those minor actors who
came out to see the world for the first time–although they indeed were.
Angelina tugged at Stella‘s dress. “Ella, why didn‘t you wear that dress you bought before?”
She could tell at a glance that the dress on Stella was expensive. It wasn‘t the one they
had chosen before, and she felt a little conflicted.
They had agreed to wear ordinary dresses together, but Stella came wearing an
expensive dress. It made her feel uncomfortable.
Stella knew she had misunderstood but didn‘t know how to explain it.
She couldn‘t possibly tell her that Weston tore up the dress and made her wear a new one he bought.
“Sorry. I ruined mine, so I had to change.”
She was embarrassed. “My... My family bought this for me.”
She didn‘t know how to describe her relationship with Weston, so she lied, saying her family bought it.
Angelina didn‘t think much about it but just stared fixedly at her. “It‘s okay. I just
think yours looks pretty... The other day, I asked you to try the red one, but you didn‘t want to. See? Re
d dresses look better on you.”
She smiled sincerely, and her eyes were full of admiration.
When Stella got in the car just now, Angelina had noticed her outfit.
The dress perfectly complemented Stella‘s beauty, but at the same time, it didn‘t feel excessive or over
powering.
One glance was all it took, and people wouldn‘t be able to keep their eyes off her.
Even Bradley was slightly stunned when he saw Stella for the first time.
It was as if he couldn‘t come to his senses.
After all, he had been in the entertainment industry for so long, and there were countless beauties he h
ad met, so he quickly sorted out his emotions.
But Angelina couldn‘t help it and kept looking at her, thinking that she looked extremely
beautiful tonight.
Seeing this, Stella was embarrassed and said, “You look good too...”
As the two were whispering, Bradley reminded them, “Don‘t whisper to each other like children. It
doesn‘t look good to others. If you have something to say, say it freely.”
Stella hummed in reply and subconsciously straightened her back.
Angelina also stood up straight and adjusted her posture.
After a while, she couldn’t help but whisper in Stella‘s ear, “Do you think we‘re embarrassing him?”
Bradley saw her childish movements
from the corner of his eye and said nothing. “You two sit here for a while, and I‘ll go say hello
to the other investors.”
“Okay...”
Angelina was a little nervous.
She sat on the spot, carefully looking at the celebrities who came and went.
