Chapter 206
"Okay! I'll be careful."
My heart was full of joy. Finally, I could accompany Patrick to attend the event.
He had said it several times a few days ago. He would be happy to see me like this, wouldn't he?
When Amy was packing up his things, Patrick came back.
As soon as he entered the door and saw me, he was stunned.
I smiled and walked to him. I took the initiative to hug him, stood on my tiptoes, and kissed his lips. Then I blinked my eyes, "Am I beautiful?"
"Yes."
He quickly came to his senses and lowered his head, intending to deepen the kiss.
I credited my perfect face to Amy who had been busy for the whole afternoon. I couldn't let Patrick ruin it. So I quickly pushed him away and said nervously, "Don't, don't destroy my new fake face."
"Ahem." Amy coughed behind us. To be on the safe side, he told Patrick what I should pay
attention to.
Patrick just nodded as he heard his words, "Okay."
I chose a gown, sat in front of the mirror, and looked at my face over and over again. As Amy said, I could only smile. If I smiled brightly, I could obviously feel that the left and right cheeks were uneven.
But it didn't matter. I would pay attention to it.
After all, I only needed to make it tonight.
I told myself in my heart.
In the evening, the banquet was about to start. By the time Patrick and I went out, Jeremy had been waiting outside.
As soon as Jeremy saw me, he couldn't help but be stunned. Then he smiled and said, "Miss Archer, you're extraordinarily beautiful today."
"Thank you." I smiled faintly.
All along the way, I was quite relaxed at first. However, after I got out of the elevator, I was about to reach the entrance of the banquet hall. Then I saw various people wearing various kinds of clothes inside.
They were all wearing normal makeup. And only I showed up with a fake cheek.
Thinking of this, I suddenly began to feel extremely nervous.
At this time, Patrick put his arms on my shoulders, leaned over, and said, "Don't worry. I'm here with you."
I knew that since I was standing here, there was no reason for me to retreat.
Someone had seen us at the door.
Two men came out and greeted, "Mr. Cowell."
They saw me. And their eyes lit up. One of them said, "Oh, Mr. Cowell, are you here with a female companion? Why didn't you bring her with you a few days ago?"
Another man then asked, "If you have such a beautiful female companion by your side, will you bring her to an occasion where there are many lustful men?"
"That's true. That's true."
"Mr. Cowell, this female companion of yours is indeed so beautiful today."
Both of them were flattering Patrick.
However, their words indicated that they only treated me like a disposable girlfriend of Patrick.
I indeed didn't mind their words. But I heard Patrick next to me saying in a low voice, "This is my fiancee."
There was a hint of displeasure in his voice.
As soon as he said these words, the two men showed surprised expressions on their faces, "FL. fiancee! When you get married, remember to inform us."
The two of them said one after another and then left.
Seeing them leave, I was relieved in my heart. I felt that it shouldn't be a problem for me to show up with this face for a night.
Later on, quite a few people came over to greet Patrick.
Patrick introduced me as his "fiancee" to everyone one by one.
As we dealt with these people, I heard them all complimenting me, such as "She's so beautiful", "She is indeed too beautiful", and that "The two of them are a perfect match.".
I originally should have enjoyed the process. But I felt like there was a heavy burden in my heart and that I couldn't breathe. I only hoped that the masquerade which only belonged to me would be over quickly.
After Patrick and I greeted others after one round, I thought that I could rest in the corner in the end.
At this time, there was a commotion at the door.
I looked up. There were so many people in between. But I still saw a man. He, who was very tall, was about two meters tall. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
Wearing a white suit, he had a suit jacket draped over his shoulders.
His blonde hair which should have been dyed was strung with colorful threads.
He got dreadlocks in his hair.
Few people in this class would wear this kind of hairstyle.
A bad feeling welled up in my heart when I saw the height of the man. I took another look and saw that the man was holding... Amanda in his arms!
It was the man named Roger!
The scene where Amanda begged painfully for mercy when Roger beat her and that she sucked his cock out of her kindness that night emerged in my mind.
When I looked at Amanda, she also noticed me. Soon, a sinister smile appeared on the corner of her lips. And I had a bad feeling in my heart.
"Patrick, let's go."
I pulled at Patrick's sleeve.
He was looking at Roger and Amanda as well.
Seeing us, Roger didn't pay any attention to anybody as he just walked in our direction.
He only stared at me attentively.
I know that he and Patrick were enemies. Since we were here, no matter how worried I was, I thought that I couldn't look timid.
I pretended to be calm as I stood still beside Patrick.
Roger came over. Patrick said first, "Mr. Roger, you are a generous person at first glance. Yesterday, she made you suffer a lot. Unexpectedly, you brought her out to have fun today."
"Money can be earned again if I lose it. But it's hard to find a suitable woman." Roger smiled. And the corner of his eyes was full of evil spirits.
"That's true." Patrick nodded.
Roger stared at me, "Mr. Cowell, when did you have such a beautiful woman around you? Why didn't you introduce her to me? Are you afraid that I would take her away?"
Patrick raised his hand and took me into his arms, "This is my fiancee. She was bored today. So I brought her here to have fun."
"Oh..." Roger said meaningfully, "In the past, I saw that you treated women as if they were garbage. I thought we were on the same path. It seems that we aren't. What a pity."
Patrick responded, "Mr. Roger, with you hanging around in the underground world and I being engaged in the serious business, we are on distinctly separate ways."
The two of them seemed to be exchanging greetings. However, in reality, they had made their stances clear.
Amanda looked at Patrick who was holding me in his arms. And her eyes were on the verge of burning!
When Roger saw that his woman was staring at Patrick attentively, he was quite unhappy. He directly grabbed her chin with his slender fingers and said unpleasantly, "What? After following Mr. Cowell for a few days, have you lost your mind?"
His voice sounded deep and seemingly flat. In fact, there was a warning in it.
Amanda understood the dominance in his voice the best!
She shivered and said quickly, "No, I'm just curious. I saw that Miss Archer was still ugly a few days ago. Why did she suddenly become a fairy today? I'm wondering which one of her is real."
Patrick said calmly, "She is my woman. It doesn't matter what she looks like." "Really?" Amanda sneered, "Then why did you let her put on make-up? Why didn't you let her show her ugly face in public? All in all, you value your self- esteem. And you are afraid that she will embarrass you, right?"
Amanda spoke quite loudly. And everyone could hear her words clearly.
They were all looking in our direction.
All of a sudden, I was in a panic!
