Having Seen Gloria, these two women got nervous apparently. They tried to calm themselves down and greeted Gloria.
“Ma'am.”
“What are you girls gossiping about? Mind if I join you?”
Gloria just sat directly between them, but she sat up straight with her hands crossed on the dress and beautiful legs together, which was exactly the posture of a nice lady.
Thanks to the etiquette course back in her college, or she would definitely have had stage fright to attend this kind of banquet.
Knowing Gloria might have heard what they said, these two women looked embarrassed.
Anyone with a sense of shame would feel embarrassed after being caught talking others behind their backs. Contents belong to NovelDrama.Org
“Of course, Ma’am. It would be a great pleasure for us to have you chatted with us.” One of them tried to flatter Gloria.
“Yes, for sure. OH MY! Look at that smooth skin! How did you manage to do that, Ma’am?” The other followed immediately.
Gloria was smooth-skinned, for which they did envy a lot.
“How?” She turned her head to look at them but with astonished eyes and said.
“I never managed to do so. I was just born this way. That’s how.” Meanwhile she seemed to be attracted by the one sitting at her left. And she got close to watch.
“Your chin is so pretty. Is it natural?”
“Yeah. Of course.” That woman was proud of her chin.
“Wow. So it’s okay if I poke it, right?” Gloria looked like she was about to do it in anytime.
Hearing this, that woman panicked at once.
“What...My chin was...Ummm...Well, I hurt my chin recently, so...Please, just a light touch. Alright Ma’am?”
“SURE.” She smiled. In a creepy way.
Gloria just lifted her hand, but that woman got so nervous that she suddenly covered her chin but accidently hit herself.
“Ouch! My chin!” She screamed, got up and ran away quickly.
“That...Chin is unnatural?” The other one was shocked as well.
“Yeah.” Gloria blinked, and then lowered her voice and said.
“Just between you and me. That boob. Fake, too.”
Staring at that chin woman’s direction, the other woman said.
“That bitch! Call herself a natural beauty. Natural my ass! I can’t believe she stole my boyfriend with that man-made face! Shit!” After the words, She stormed off.
Gloria was angry with these two claiming her face fake, which was why she was here trying to diss back at them. But before she went any further, their own quarrel just broke out easily.
“Here you are. I was just looking for you.”
It was Si ChengYu’s voice. Gloria raised her head and saw him walking to her.
He flushed and seemed to drink a lot.
Gloria moved aside to let him sit down.
“Si ChengYu, Have you seen Leon?” With few interesting things to do outside, she was going to go back anyway.
He smiled and shook his head.
“Nope. I don’t know where he is. Maybe give him a call later.”
“Fine.”
Gloria asked a waiter walking by to give her a cup of tea, and then she passed it to him.
“How much have you drunk, Si ChengYu?”
Stunned a little, he said.
“Just a few.” Si ChengYu reached to the tea held by Gloria, but instead of the cup itself, he grabbed at her hands on the cup.
Getting the unfamiliar warmth of touch, Gloria gasped and tried to pull her hands out, while his hands pressed hers against the cup, leaving her hands no where to go.
Gloria was disgusted with physical contact with other men, but she thought Si ChengYu was drunk, so she remained a calm voice and said.
“Si ChengYu, you’ re drunk. You are holding my hands now, not the cup.”
Despite what she said, he held her hands tighter and tighter without any sign of letting go.
She struggled to get rid of his hands, but they were rock solid.
As she was about to stand up, a familiar figure came out of nowhere and punched at his wrist, but Si ChengYu still held her hands.
Kenny’s horrible face was the first thing Gloria saw when she looked up.
Seeing Si ChengYu still hold her hands, Kenny tried to drag her hands directly.
So tight Si ChengYu held that the whole back of Gloria’s hands turned red after they were released, and the spilled tea get her dress wet.
“Qingning...”
The red dress she wore was thin, and after it got wet, her body under the dress was nearly seen.
Kenny took off his suit and put it on Gloria, and he then spoke to someone.
“Send him back.”
It was at that moment that Gloria saw Shi Ye is behind Kenny.
“You...”
She wanted to ask Shi Ye why he was here, but before she could say anything, Kenny dragged her toward the back door of Banquet Hall.
Their table was close to the back door. Dragging Gloria, Kenny walked fast and did not want to give her any chance to speak.
Wearing high-heeled shoes was not an easy job. Not to mention that Gloria wore them for such a long time and then was forced to follow Kenny’s pace. Several steps out of the door, she sprained her ankle.
Gloria couldn’t help gasping, but Kenny was in such a bad temper that he ignored it completely and still remained a fast speed toward elevator.
Without noticing, Gloria sprained again.
It was so hurt that her tears were almost falling down. She couldn’t took it anymore, so she yelled.
“Loosen my goddamn hands!”
Hearing that, Kenny finally stopped. And when he turned his face at her, his expression showed that he was still in a fury.
Only when he saw her tears, it seemed that all anger was gone. He looked down at her feet and asked.
“Twisted you feet?”
“Thanks to you.” She sneered.
Kenny squatted down to check her feet, but in pain, Gloria backed up, took off her shoes, picked them up, threw to him and walked away in bare feet without hesitation.
A waiter passing by looked at her curiously.
She cast a stern glance at him and said.
“What are you looking at? Haven’t you seen someone walking in bare feet before?”
Waiters in seven-star hotel were all well-trained. He took a slight bow and said.
“I’m sorry, Ma’am. Do you need me to get you a doctor?”
Gloria looked back at Kenny who was standing still and wondering god knows what it was.
Another sneer crossed her face. Even a waiter was sweeter than him.
