Walter laughed as his expression softened. He smiled and said, “All of a sudden, I didn’t feel like going to the washroom anymore.” “Hohoho…. That’s interesting bladder control!” “Hahaha… Did you control your urge to go to the toilet after seeing a pretty girl?” All of them teased Walter. Walter simply smiled without saying anything. Jordan clearly knew that Walter had gone out just to look for Jocelyn. He cast an ambiguous smile at Walter.
Everyone chatted for a while. Walter’s phone rang when Jordan suggested that they should play a game of truth or dare.
Everyone exclaimed out loud and called him a busy man.
As soon as Walter left, Jordan tried to speak up again.
However, Jocelyn’s phone rang as soon as she spoke up. Jordan was amused. “Jocelyn, are you and Walter here to cause trouble for me?” Jocelyn smiled in exasperation when she noticed that Skyler was calling her. “No, my boyfriend is here to fetch me!” Jordan’s smile faltered slightly. “I see!” Someone by the side spoke up, “Her boyfriend is really handsome! Ask him to come up at
once!”
Jocelyn picked up her phone. “Hello?”
Skyler got straight to the point. “Where are you?”
Jocelyn said, “I’m in the event hall on the fifteenth floor. I’ll come down now!”
“It’s alright, I’ll go up to get you!” Skyler hung up after speaking. He had been working in the business field for such a long time. Of course, he knew what had happened. Jocelyn usually ignored him. Even if
something happened, she would not tell him anything if he did not take the initiative to help her out. However, her voice was full of hesitation when she spoke to him today. Evidently, someone was making things difficult for her. Besides, people loved comparing their careers and significant others during such gatherings. Skyler could vaguely guess what had happened. Jocelyn hung up on the call. Everyone looked at her and asked, “Is he really coming?” Jocelyn nodded stiffly. Jordan started panicking. “I’ll go out first!”
He had to look for Walter at once. Jocelyn really had a boyfriend, and he was coming here right now! Where had Walter gone?!
Not long after Jordan left, Skyler appeared at the entrance of the event hall. Skyler attracted the attention of countless people as soon as he entered the hall. He had always maintained a low profile. A lot of people knew of him, but they did not recognize him as the king of jewelry, Skyler Moore. He scanned the crowd and saw Jocelyn at first sight. He then walked straight toward her.
The alumni around Jocelyn had shocked expressions on their faces. They all whispered among themselves.
“Is that her boyfriend? He’s way too handsome!”
“Oh God, he looks just like the male lead of a novel!”
“Tsk tsk, all of his clothes are customized. I’ve finally seen a tall, rich, and handsome young man in real life!” “D*mn it, that Patek Philippe 1518 stainless steel model costs nearly 12 thousand dollars. It’s regarded as an antique. I’m about to pass out. I really don’t understand the world of rich
people!”
Jocelyn thought she heard someone gulp. She was so used to interacting with Skyler that she had never noticed these details. Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
Besides, Skyler had so many watches and cars. She did not even recognize some of them, so she had never kept them in mind.
Everyone widened their eyes when Skyler walked in front of Jocelyn. Skyler spoke in a clear voice, “I’m sorry for coming late. There was a traffic jam on the way here!”
Jocelyn chuckled and said, “It’s fine, I’m not in a hurry!”
Everyone looked at Skyler in embarrassment. It seemed like they were all worshipping him.
Skyler sat down next to Jocelyn in an elegant manner. “Nice to meet you, I’m Jocelyn’s boyfriend!”
He seemed to have no intentions to tell everyone his name. Everyone else did not ask him as well.
Someone suggested that they should grab a drink together. Before Skyler could say anything, Jocelyn rejected their offer. “He hurt his back. He can’t drink!”
Someone teased her. “That can’t be, Jocelyn White. Wasn’t your boyfriend drinking in the bar when you called him?”
“Tsk tsk tsk, you’re way too concerned about him!”
Skyler’s gaze flashed. He guessed that Jocelyn might have been forced to turn on her speaker while talking to him on the phone just now.
There was an ambiguous expression on his face. He placed his arm on the sofa behind Jocelyn’s back. It looked like he had his arm wrapped around her.
Jocelyn felt rather exasperated. She could not help but frown. “I’m telling you guys the truth!”
“Even so, we can’t do that. How can we not drink if we’re meeting your significant other?” One of the men blurted out.
Skyler leaned against the sofa and raised his gaze slowly to glance at him. The man immediately went silent. He lowered his head and stopped talking.
Skyler’s gaze made everyone feel pressured.
There seemed to be an invisible wall between him and these people.
Jocelyn did not intend to stay for long. She told them that she still had work tomorrow. She then left together with Lexie and Skyler.
As soon as she left, the event hall erupted into a state of frenzy.
“A goddess always scores herself a target whenever she shoots her shot! Look at her significant other. Given his aura, one can tell that he isn’t an ordinary person at first sight!” “That man looks rather familiar. Have any of you seen him before? I feel like I’ve seen him before somewhere!”
“Stop making things up! Someone like him is way beyond our league. He looks like someone that would appear on television. You might not know him even if he walks in front of you!”
Everyone started discussing about him. When Jordan returned to the hall, he realized that Jocelyn had already left. However, he was yet to find Walter.
At the same time, in one of the rooms in Quintus Hotel.
Walter frowned as he stared at Snow. “Didn’t you agree not to appear in front of Jocelyn White before we returned to the country?”
Snow glanced at Walter and said, “Walter, I just said that out of respect for you. Besides, I agreed to terminate our engagement if Jocelyn agrees to get together with you. Don’t stir up the facts!” Walter
frowned and said, “Anyways, you shouldn’t appear in front of her ever again. I don’t want her to get affected like back then!”
