Sivan was in trouble recently. Because of that, Molly was in a good mood and was very enthusiastic about her work.
As a result, she was kinder to Christopher than before.
"Mr. Christopher, you are our friends. It's easy to settle Jessica's endorsement contract." Molly took a glass of champagne from a passing waiter and drank with Christopher.
Christopher stared at Molly for a moment before drinking.
Then he said leisurely, "Miss Molly, you seem to be in a good mood."
Molly blinked. Was it that obvious?
"Being able to participate in Universe's commercial event and cooperate with Universe are wonderful. I am definitely happy for that." Molly complimented.
Then she felt her reply might be too perfunctory, so she drank with Christopher once again and said, "Cheers!"
"We'll talk about the details of the contract later," Christopher said in a moderate tone, making Molly feel comfortable.
"OK. Go ahead." The banquet was hosted by Christopher and he had to entertain his guests.
Christopher raised his head and looked into the distance. "Miss Molly, do you want to come with me?" Christopher asked as if it was a spur-of-the-moment decision.
"What?" Molly looked at him blankly.
Christopher smiled as if he was amused by her expression or her words. "Just talk to them, and maybe you can develop more connections."
"Thank you, Mr. Christopher."
Christopher was right.
As an agent, connections were very
important. Molly had no reason to refuse him.
Though Molly wasn't smart, she understood that Christopher was using her as an excuse to refuse the woman. Anyway, this cake was indeed her favorite.
Molly took the cake and asked, "Since you don't want to be bothered by other women, why don't you bring your fiancee here?"
Christopher sighed, paused and stared at Molly.
Molly was somehow panicked by his gaze. The cake in her mouth didn't taste good now.
She swallowed it and asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
Christopher looked at the crumbs at the corner of Molly's mouth. He took out a handkerchief and wiped them off for Molly. At the same time, he said calmly, "She ran away."
Molly was shocked.
She didn't know whether she was shocked by Christopher wiping cake crumbs off her mouth, or by the fact that he was abandoned by his fiancee.
