He went to the room and took my eyebrow pencil. Then he came back to
Wait, what was he going to do?
“Hold the phone like that, I want to refer.” He said, once he found an example picture of an arched–
eyebrow.
I did as he said and he helped
me redraw my eyebrows. If nobody knew about our relationship, people would think that we were a nic
e couple.
Wait, what was I thinking? Nice couple?
After a few minutes, he was done with my brows. He looked very satisfied with it. This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
I stared at myself in the mirror, hmm, true enough, I really looked better
with arched brows.
Without further wasting any time, he took out his smart phone and placed the camera in front of us. Wa
s he trying to take a selfie with me?
I didn‘t have time to ask and I stared into the camera, he snapped the photo. Our
first selfie together, finally.
He looked at the photo and said, “Wow, I look too good beside you.” He was being full of himself.
Well, I am considered beautiful, bot not as gorgeous as celebrities and Lance really does look
devilishly handsome. “If you think you are too
good looking for me, you can choose to let me go, nobody is forcing you.” I said sarcastically.
He ignored my remarks and together, we headed to the dinner. It was
at a fancy hotel. The dinner started
at 7pm in the evening, there were a lot of guests. Although
there were many people that I didn‘t know, I still recognised some familiar faces such as Niklaus Sands
, Anthony Smith and Leo. Leo had been avoiding me for some time now, he didn‘t even want to look me
in the eye.
Lance saw Niklaus and went up to him. “Long time no see, Mr
Sands.” Lance raised his glass of wine at Niklaus.
Niklaus did the same and smiled politely, “Yeah, long time no see. Mr Mason has been getting more an
d more successful, both in business and in love.”
Then, Niklaus looked at me and said, “Ms Gomez, we haven‘t seen each other for
more than a year, you are getting as gorgeous as ever! Seems like
you have been receiving a lot of love and care from Mr Mason! I‘m so envious!”
Love and care from Lance Mason? Wow, Niklaus was getting better at bullshitting.
Lance put down his hands and held mine, our fingers entwined. He purposely shook our hands in front
of Niklaus, showing that him and I were a thing.
“Not Ms Gomez, she is Mrs Mason.” His voice was not low, so a lot of people around us heard him.
They all came forward to congratulate him, “Congratulations, Mr Mason, remember to invite us to the w
edding!”
“Thank you, the invitation card will be sent out to all of you soon!” Lance said happily
My gaze was distant, and it landed on Leo Mason, he was looking on the floor and I couldn‘t see
his face. But I could feel that he was not happy, or was I just overthinking?
Leo didn‘t care about me, right? He did not care about me at all!
I pulled my gaze back to the guests around us and smiled at them politely, u had no
more choice but to say, “Thank you!”
Then I heard Lance announcing, “Our wedding will be next month, in Royal Park Hotel, Denmark.”
The guests were all congratulating Lance, but the smile on his face was hurting me.
It was as if he really was happy and excited about this wedding.
“Mr Gomez doesn‘t seem very natural. Your smile I mean.” It was
Anthony Smith who spoke.
I shifted my gaze on him. I didn‘t even had the chance to speak, Lance had already spoken before
me, “Mr Smith, this is my wife, you can call her Mrs Mason.” Lance was introducing me very formally, b
ut I could sense the possessiveness in his tone.
“Oh? Mrs Mason? But you guys are not married yet, isn‘t it too early to call you Mrs Mason? Of course I
will greet her as Mrs Mason once you officially
marry her!” Anthony said. He was obviously provoking Lance, but then he also indirectly pushed me int
o an ugly spot. It was as if he was not willing to call me Mrs Mason because we had something betwee
n us.
But I never even spoken to him more than 3 times! I was a little provoked too. What if Leo Mason heard
and thought that I and Anthony had been flirting? It
wasn‘t easy for me to make Leo not hate me and see me with disgust anymore, I could not let Anthony
just ruin that!
“Mr Smith, I respect you but can you at least think before you speak? | don‘t really know you, you are ju
st my neighbour and we never really see each other at all, don‘t you
think they way you spoke just now was a little inappropriate? It will cause a misunderstanding, and wha
t if cause me and my family to have an issue? Won‘t you feel guilty? Don‘t you feel like you have been
speaking very informally and inappropriate?” my tone was
a little forceful, but I couldn‘t take it if any gossips start up again.
