Chapter 128
The Ferrare door opened, and Edwin stepped out. He then opened the passenger seat door and invited Catelyn out like a gentleman.
Catelyn stood on her ten centimeters tall heels and smiled sweetly while standing next to Edwin.
On the other hand, the Mercedis Maybach’s door opened, and Cedrick held Maia’s hand while they exited. They also looked like a perfect pair, with Maia wearing a fiery red gown that brought out her figure while standing next to the dashing Cedrick
Her black hair was tied in a high bun with a small strand dangling casually by her ear. The reporters were all ready by the door of the hotel.
Ka-chick! Ka-chick!
The cameras flashed incessantly, more dramatic than the Met Gala.
“Oh my goodness! Look! It’s Cedrick Mason and Maia Clark!”
“That pair must be Edwin Atherton with his new girlfriend!”
“This dinner must be such an important one. All the important people of Sapphire City are here…”
“I heard that Cedrick never liked to show up at public events. This time, he is even willing to be photographed by the reporters! It must be Maia’s request. Look at them. They look so cute together!” Maia grinned from ear to ear after hearing all these compliments.
“Sure.”
Edwin smiled lightly, and the two walked on the red carpet, hand in hand, to enter the ballroom. Cedrick’s gaze followed them as they interacted intimately. Catelyn was wearing a gown with a rather low cut at the front. Maia was relieved to see Catelyn leaving. However, she felt the air around them cooling down strangely. She turned to look at Cedrick and called his name softly, “Cedrick?” Cedrick’s eyes were cold. He turned to look at her and said, “Let’s go inside.” Maia smiled and nodded, not thinking anything more. She snuggled into Cedrick’s chest. “It feels a little cold tonight. I am wearing a gown with my shoulders exposed and feeling a little
cold.”
Cedrick was emotionless. “You’d feel warm once we are inside.”
Was he just pretending to not understand it, or was he that dense? Every time Maia tried to hint him to take a step closer, he would easily divert the conversation to something else. The two passed the fountain in the hotel lobby and strode to the ballroom. The ballroom was lavishly decorated, and on the long table in the middle were layers of champagne glasses, surrounded by colorful small bites and snacks. Catelyn and Edwin became the center of attention as soon as they went in. Maia and Cedrick followed. Naturally, people started to make comparisons between the two couples.
