The wind was as cool as water at night. Molly and Benjamin were walking away from the banquet, and the noise gradually faded.
“What did she say to you, and who was she? Why do I have the impression that you two aren’t getting along?” Benjamin inquired. Molly did not take Abigail seriously, and when Benjamin inquired, she simply informed him casually.
“I’m not sure. When she saw me, she wanted to introduce me to a job, and then she wanted to introduce me to you, the genius doctor. I’m sure she had her own thoughts on people and things.” Molly did not say anything about what Abigail had done to her before, and Benjamin just frowned.
“I can’t believe she’s so cunning. You should keep your distance from her,” said Benjamin. He meant that he was concerned that Molly would suffer due to that scheming lady.
Molly, on the other hand, was unconcerned. After a brief conversation, Benjamin excused himself because he could not stay any longer and needed to entertain other guests. Molly remained behind, sitting alone on the stone bench outside. When Sean went outside to take a breather, he noticed someone sitting on the stone bench.
She dressed up in a special evening gown for tonight. The obsidian black gown lightened her complexion. Her facial features were better reflected with the lighter make-up. The waist design made her figure look slim. She appears delicate but with a mature woman’s charm. This woman was stunning and flourishing among all the other women at the banquet. Sean’s gaze had been drawn to her.
On the other hand, Sean dressed up for tonight’s banquet in a formal, tailored black suit. Even in a wheelchair, he could not keep his aura at bay; the mysterious dark night encircled him, making him appear even more handsome than usual.
Molly locked her gaze on Sean. “What a coincidence to see you here,” she said, smiling,
Sean said with a smile, “It’s just a coincidence. Why have you been sitting here all this time? A lot is going on there.”
“I’m not used to events like this,” Molly said, shaking her head. Molly does not feel like herself at the banquet and is surrounded by people like Abigail. She was bored and speechless about them. Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
‘No wonder I didn’t notice her inside earlier,’ Sean thought. He came to a halt next to Molly in his wheelchair.
“Actually, I dislike such occasions as well. I can’t say no because the company has a lot of clients,” Sean stated.
Molly has known since the first day she met him that he is a workaholic, aside from being an injured person. He spent most of his time entertaining clients at banquets.
“Have you had any drinks?” Molly inquired. She made sure Sean was aware of it. “Dr. May had warned me before, and I wouldn’t dare to disobey,” Sean laughed, and Molly nodded satisfyingly. They were about to say something else when Sean’s client found him and came to him. “Mr. Anderson, you’ve arrived!” exclaimed the client. He noticed Sean and came over to greet him, “How is Mr. Anderson Sr? I haven’t seen him in a long time.”
That man was Sean’s newest client, Mr. Lane. Mr. Lane was working with the Anderson Corporation. He was a friendly man who, unlike his other clients, was able to strike up a conversation with Sean.
Mr. Lane noticed Molly standing beside Sean at that moment. They were standing so close that Mr. Lane couldn’t help but wonder, “Mr. Anderson, could this be your fiancée?”
Mr. Lane continued before Sean could respond, “I heard you have a fiancée, and only after seeing her in person did I realize she’s a stunning woman. You’re a very fortunate man.”
