However, she would keep it to herself and never let it out.

“Didn’t you say you were going to introduce me to some producers today, Brian?” asked Evelyn, breaking the silence.

Brian glanced at the person standing beside him as the cloud in his eyes turned into indifference. He smiled and said, “All right, I’ll introduce them to you now.”

With that, Brian led Evelyn to the other side.

Evelyn held Brian’s arm, but she somehow felt uneasy.

Even though she was his girlfriend and even though she felt that she was close to him, he exuded a sense of alienation. that made it seem impossible to close in the distance between them completely.

One day, she would bring him to his knees! She wanted to be somebody, she wanted to be better than everybody else!

Jason took Grace to a more secluded place.

“You must be tired, sit down for a while,” said Jason as he made her sit down on the sofa.

“I’m fine,” she said. Though she was nervous as she had not been to banquets like this for a long time, she was more worried about what Brian did earlier.

“Do you want something to eat?” he asked.

Before Grace could answer, someone came over and said, “Is this your girlfriend, Jason? Won’t you introduce me?”

Grace looked up and saw a man about Jason’s age approaching her. Although he was dressed in a suit, the smile on his baby face made him likable.

Jason glanced at him, then said to Grace, “This is my friend,

Patrick.”

It’s rare for Grace to hear Jason call someone a friend, so

Patrick was probably close to him. “Hello, I’m Grace.”

Grace introduced herself gracefully.

“Hello, I’ve wanted to meet you for a long time now, but I

haven’t had a chance,” Patrick said with a smile. After all, he had always been curious about the woman who managed to capture his best friend’s heart.

On the eve of the Lunar New Year, Patrick was shocked and intrigued by the fact that his best friend brought a group of police officers to the town next to Emerald City for her. He even left Old Master Reed behind for her.

Now, after meeting Grace, Patrick thought that even though she was not stunningly beautiful, her eyes gave people a sense of comfort-it was gentle and relaxing.

Standing alongside Grace, Jason also seemed more relaxed than usual.

Potrick immediately understood why his best friend fell in love with Grace. People like them were often in a treacherous environment where the people around them were more hypocritical than sincere. Although they were high up in the pecking order, the slightest mistake might cause them to fall and break into pieces. Therefore, even if one looked relaxed most of the time, they were actually tense.

Grace’s calm temperament could make others feel relaxed, and that made it all the more precious.

“By the way, when I came over, there were some people over there discussing the internet situation this year. You want to get involved?” Patrick asked Jason. As soon as he mentioned the names of the people in the discussion, she immediately recognized them as internet bigwigs.

These were people she would not normally get to meet, but now, they were at the same banquet as her.

Jason was obviously interested as soon as he heard what his friend said, but then he turned and looked at Grace. “Do you want to join?”

“No, I won’t understand what they’re talking about anyway. Why don’t you go? I’ll just rest here,” answered Grace.

“All right.” Jason nodded. “About the food…”

“I’ll take some myself, don’t worry,” Grace said with a smile.

Patrick looked at the proud friend he had known since childhood in shock. Jason was now acting like her mother,

telling Grace not to take the wine because of its strong alcohol content, to be careful when she walked so that she would not fall, and even to ask the waiter to get the food for her if she did not want to get it herself…

Patrick almost thought the person in front of him was only someone who looked like Jason.

It seemed that Jason was so afraid of Grace choking on her food and falling on her feet that he wished he could hold her in the palm of her hand.

If others saw this, their eyes would probably pop out. When had Emerald City’s most difficult Young Master Reed treated a woman this way?

It was like he wanted to wait on the woman.

As the two men walked away from Grace, Patrick said, “I’ve never seen you treat a woman this way. Are you serious about her?”

“Yes.” Jason admitted it readily.

Patrick’s eyes immediately widened at his confession. “You mean it?”

Jason glanced at him. “Do I have to tell you a lie?”

Gulp!

Patrick gulped the saliva in his mouth. All right, it was obvious that Grace, whom he had just met, would one day marry into the Reed family and become their mistress.

“Well, she’s really lucky then,” muttered Patrick.

“I’m the lucky one,” Jason let out a whisper. Perhaps it would be more accurate to say that her misfortune had made him lucky.

If the accident had not happened, she might have married Sean Stevens and bore his child by now. She would not have met him the way they did and he would not know that it was such a pleasant thing to be by her side.

Patrick was shocked when he heard this.

He was only thinking of one thing at this moment-Jason had really fallen for Grace!

Grace took a gla** of champagne from the waiter and drank

It had a low alcohol content and a fruity taste. It tasted pretty good.

However, she could not take too much of it. She was not a good drinker. She would get drunk easily if she drank too much.

She looked around as she sipped her champagne. She could hear the sound of people toasting as she looked around at the successful people present. She used to be a part of this society. She had talked to some of these upper-cla** people and hoped to meet more as it would be good for her career in the future.

Back in those days, she would dress up meticulously when attending banquets and try her best to talk to others. She feared that she would embarra** Sean Stevens when she stood next to him, so she wanted to make sure that it would not happen.

However, looking back on it now made her feel like that had been centuries ago.

Just then, several women came up to Grace. Their leader said, “You’re Jason’s date today, aren’t you?”

Grace raised her head and recognized that the women were all famous socialites in Emerald City. She had seen them in some gossip magazines.

To put it more accurately, she did not recognize these women simply because she had read about them in gossip magazines but because she used to go out of her way to collect information about Emerald City’s socialites so as to not embarra** Sean Stevens whenever she went out with him.

Among the three women before her, one was the granddaughter of a jewelry tycoon, one was the daughter of a chairman of a convenience store chain, and the other was the granddaughter of an owner of a famous five-star hotel in Emerald City.
