Tina held her breathe.
Wilson had buttoned up his shirt. He sat on the side of the bed, hooking his finger at her.
Tina obediently shifted over.
She took the pair of cufflinks from his hands and put them on his shirt cuffs.
The cufflinks were inlaid with star-shaped red agates, glittering and translucent.
Wilson looked at her submissive like a young wife. His eyes became more lazy. "The engagement banquet will start at 8 o'clock tonight. If you want to go, we can attend together!"
Tina was stunned.
She thought for only half a second, then shook her head and refused. "I won't go!"
Selene sent her an invitation and a dress, which put pressure on her imperceptibly.
But Tina didn't want to attend with Wilson.
Unlike the ordinary banquet that she attended as a female companion, this was an engagement banquet, and Selene was Wilson's cousin. On such an important occasion, there were lots of important guests.
His family members would also attend.
Tina bit her lips lightly.
She planned to sneak in quietly later and make herself transparent. At that time, there would be so many guests, and Wilson would not pay attention to her.
Tina's heart was beating fast. She was afraid that Wilson would request her to go. After all, if he gave orders, she dared not disobey.
Wilson did not force her, but said, "I may come back late tonight. You have to wait for me. Don't sleep first, okay?"
The banquet began at 8 o'clock, which would take at least one or two hours.
Tina heaved a sigh of relief.
She nodded. "Yes!"
Wilson pinched her earlobe, as if he often did this recently. "Good!"
Tina was speechless.
It seemed too intimate.
During the day, Tina stayed in the hospital with Isla. By seven o'clock, the sky gradually got dark.
Tina put on the dress.
She was forced to show up. She didn't want to spend too much effort, so she didn't put on much makeup and made a simple hairstyle.
At 8:20, the night completely fell.
The banquet was held in a well-known garden villa hotel. The luxury cars parked at the entrance like an auto show. The melodious music inside could be heard from a distance..
Even the entrance of the hotel was solemnly laid with a red carpet.
Tina deliberately dawdled until almost all of the guests had arrived.
In order to match the dress, she wore a pair of silver high heels, and the instep back was exposed.
Lifting the hem of the dress, Tina carefully walked inside.
As soon as she stepped on the red carpet, someone called her, "Tina?"
Tina turned around and saw Desmond walking over in surprise with his hands in his trouser pocket.
She had to say hello, "Desmond!"
Desmond's expression was very surprised. "Eh, is it really you? I thought I had gotten the wrong person!"
Tina deliberately waited until the banquet began. She didn't expect to meet an acquaintance. She said helplessly, "Why do you come so late?"
"Don't mention it!" Desmond saddened. "I actually arrived early. But before I entered the banquet hall, a waiter soiled my clothes and almost ruined my handsomeness. I had to go back and changed my clothes!"
Tina took a step backward and sized up Adam's clothes.
He actually wore a bright pink suit. He would definitely steal the limelight after he got in.
Desmond's young and handsome face was full of doubts. "Why are you here? Who invited you?"
Tina said, "Miss Chin!"
Hearing this, Desmond was even more shocked. "Selene? You two aren't familiar with each other. Why would she invite you?"
Why did Wilson watch so tightly?
Wilson walked to them, and without saying anything, directly pulled Tina's arm and strode into the hotel.
Desmond was so angry that he stomped his feet.
Tina's heart skipped a beat.
She carefully observed Wilson’s face, but she couldn't tell whether he was happy or angry at the moment.
Tina was afraid that she would be mistaken and punished by Wilson.
She couldn't help explaining, "President Chin, Miss Chin sent me an invitation and a dress. I had no choice but to come."
"I know!" Wilson said.
Tina was perturbed.
However, she found that he was not displeased at all.
Tina relaxed, but at the same time, she was very confused. "How did you know?"
Wilson said lightly, "I saw an invitation letter in your bag!"
Tina kept quiet.
They walked past the lobby and arrived at the ballroom very quickly.
The room was ablaze with lights. The crystal lamps on the ceiling were complicated and bright. The dancing floor was surrounded by roses with fragrance.
Seeing that they were getting closer and closer, Tina broke away from him. "President Chin, I can't..."
She wanted to say that she could not be with him.
It was not only an engagement banquet, but also a family gathering of the Chin's Group.
What kind of person was she?
However, before she finished, Wilson put her hand in the crook of his arms and took her into the banquet hall.
