Chapter 282 The men‘s gossip didn‘t reach Tina‘s ears.
Still overwhelmed with sadness over her separation from Kara, she returned to her room like a lost soul.
Soon, it was time to attend the banquet.
Tina boarded the limousine and arrived at the lavish hotel. Luxurious fleets of cars stopped at the entrance, with famous guests from high society walking on the red carpet. At such a formal banquet, Tina knew better than to wear her sunglasses. Her disguise would be too conspicuous.
It was fortunate that she was in Paris, the city of fashion.
Though half of her face was covered by a simple gown and a cocktail hat, none of the guests criticized her outfit. Some even found that she looked chic and fashionable.
Tina followed Samuel into the hotel and hid in a dark corner.

The banquet was a perfect opportunity to gain valuable connections. However, she wasn‘t in the mood to do that.

Due to Samuel‘s scrutiny of her every move, it would be better if she stayed away from attention. Otherwise, she might incur his wrath. There weren‘t just socialites attending the banquet today. Reporters from numerous media outlets were also present to broadcast the event.
The headlines for tomorrow‘s newspaper would definitely be filled with news about the birthday of the duke‘s son.
Meanwhile, Tina sat in an inconspicuous dark corner. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
At the moment, many socialites dressed in their greatest finery passed by Tina. They were discussing something in excited tones. “Mr. Langford‘s here! Have you seen him?” “Yes, I did! He‘s so handsome!” one of them gushed. “Young Master Keith looks really adorable, too! He looks like a mini version of Mr. Langford. I‘m sure he‘ll grow up to be a splendid man, just like his father!” “It‘d be great if I have a daughter. I‘ll make sure they befriend each other from childhood. If they can get married as adults, I‘ll become Samuel Langford‘s blood relative!” “Hahaha! You idiot, stop spouting nonsense!” While they were gossiping, Tina caught their attention. “Oh? Your cocktail hat looks really unique!”

Tina didn‘t expect anyone to notice her at all. She smiled in response and said demurely, Thank you for your compliment.” Soon, the women were sizing up Tina and criticizing her choice of outfit.
“Are you even invited to the banquet tonight? You‘re one of the staff, aren‘t you? Why are you trying to hide your identity with that outfit?” “What‘s with her, acting all mysterious?”
Tina didn‘t react to any of their snide remarks. She knew that not all the rich had decent personalities. The higher they climbed up, the more arrogant they were. The reason they were so interested in her work was because they wanted the fame of wearing something that got in fashion magazines and worn by famous celebrities. If Tina were to present her designs she made a few years back, these filthy rich people wouldn‘t even listen to what she had to say. In fact, they would simply toss her passion in a trash can before she could open her mouth.
Tina didn‘t want to argue with the likes of them, so she turned to leave.
Noticing that Tina was easy prey, an evil thought struck their mind. They hurriedly stopped her from leaving. “Hey, are you leaving? Stand right there!” “Though you aren‘t one of us, I still think your hat looks pretty cute. Take it off right now and let us have a look! Let‘s see if it‘s worth a cent!”
