C14 Sneak a Peek

"I still feel that this dress is not suitable for me."

Connie felt a little uncomfortable being stared at.

Holden recovered from his shock and said mockingly, "So, your taste is the same as the clothes you usually wear. Not only are they bad, they are also terrible."

Connie, "..."

Would this man die if he didn't spit venomous words every day?

When he left the clubhouse with a depressed expression, it was already dark outside.

As the lights lit up, the neon lights on the streets flashed continuously. A black Rolls-Royce was already waiting for them at the side of the road.

When the driver saw Holden and Connie coming out, he immediately got out of the driver's seat and went to the other side of the car. He respectfully said to Holden, "Young Master, please get in the car."

Holden got into the back seat first, and Connie followed.

The car quickly drove on the road. After about forty minutes, it finally stopped at the entrance of a hotel in the city.

After getting out of the car, Connie wrapped her arms around Holden's arm. She felt very nervous and her limbs were very stiff.

As if he could feel her emotions, Holden reminded her, "Relax, don't be stiff like a dead fish."

"..."

Connie was speechless. She cursed in her heart. You are the dead fish, and the whole neighborhood is dead fish!

"You don't have to do anything later, understand?"

"Understood!"

After receiving Connie's confirmation, Holden brought her into the hall.

It must be said that the school had invested a lot to attract these rich people to invest. The five-star hotel banquet venue was filled with glittering lights, and the crystal chandelier was shining with a brilliant light. There were all kinds of drinks, pastries, and well-dressed guests. It was almost impossible to look at them all.

There were a lot of high-class elites present, but when Holden appeared, they all became mere decorations.

As for Connie, although she was not as dazzling as the man beside her, she would still become the center of attention if she stood next to him.

However, this kind of focus was not good for Connie. Instead, she felt as if there was a thorn on her back.

The reason was none other than the gazes that came from the women in the room. Connie recognized a few of them as her schoolmates.

As expected of the most valuable single aristocrat in Findochty, she had attracted the attention of countless beauties.

At this moment, Connie suddenly felt a little worried. Could it be that she would have to participate in such banquets again in the future?

"Connie, I told you to smile, not to twitch your mouth."

Just as Connie was distracted, Holden, who was beside her, could not stand it anymore and warned her.

Not only did Connie twitch her mouth, but her entire face was twitching. "Haha, I don't want to either. Don't you see that those women seem to want to eat me? To attend a banquet with Mr. Henson and risk your life, please tell me earlier. This way, I can be mentally prepared."

"Then just ignore them. You can treat them like a bunch of animals or annoying flies."

"Pfft ~ ~ ~"

This time, Connie really couldn't hold it in anymore and burst out laughing.

"What are you laughing at?"

Holden coldly glanced at her and asked.

"Nothing, I just feel that your description is really harsh."

Connie said in a low voice.

Holden said indifferently, "This is the truth. If it was in the real upper class, this scene would not even be enough."

When he said this, Connie could not help but be stunned.

Did he mean that the scene in front of them was not spectacular enough?

"Have you seen the foreigner in front of you?"

At this moment, Holden's gaze suddenly turned towards the center of the banquet and asked Connie.

Following his gaze, Connie nodded her head, "That bearded man with a full beard?"

"Yes, the CEO of the domestic branch of the AmericanCK Group. He is also the reason why I came here tonight. Later, if you perform well, don't screw up."

Connie couldn't help but mutter, "... As expected of a capitalist."

"What did you say just now?"

Holden, who had sharp ears, could not help but lower his voice.

"Nothing, I mean, if you perform well, do you have any rewards?"

Connie was sweating. She thought to herself, "Why is this man so sensitive?"

"Rewards?"

Holden squinted his eyes, and the corner of his mouth curled up into a sneer. "I need to give you a special reward for being a qualified decoration. I gave you an orphanage, do you have the nerve to take it?"

"…"

This time, Connie was completely crying.

Soon, under the guidance of Holden, they went over to greet the big-bearded man.

At the beginning, Connie could still maintain a polite smile and greet him politely, but in the end, she really just stood there as a decoration.

During the entire process, Holden used English to communicate with the other party. The two of them conversed happily, but Connie listened to them without saying a word. Moreover, they were talking about matters regarding the company.

To this, Connie sincerely expressed that she had no love for him.

Fortunately, Holden was still human. Seeing her pained expression, he immediately let her go.

Connie was so touched that her tears flowed down her face. She immediately found a corner and took some pastries, silently eating them there.

She had no choice. She had been tormented from noon until now and had not even eaten dinner. Her stomach was really flat.

At this moment, it was rare for Holden to be so kind, so she would not let go of such a good opportunity.

Just as Connie was eating a piece of cake in her seat, she suddenly saw a slender figure not far away.

The man was wearing a white suit. His features were gentle and handsome, and his eyes were very clean. His body emitted a warm and gentle aura. He was refined and elegant, giving people a very comfortable feeling.

It was him, Rafael. He was the senior in the same batch as Connie. He was handsome, kind, and always had a gentle smile on his face. His family background was also very powerful.

Of course, this was not the reason why Connie paid attention to him.

More importantly, his grades were very good. There were a lot of girls in the school who liked him.

Connie was one of them.

When she was crazy, she secretly used a camera to take pictures of him when he was in the sports class. She then took a picture of him in the textbook and read it every day.

Colin was Connie's heart. She secretly liked him, but she did not have the courage to confess to him.

At this moment, Connie was already lost in her thoughts. She even forgot to eat the cake in her hand.

Perhaps sensing her gaze, Rafael, who was chatting with someone, suddenly turned around.

Their eyes met, and Connie was like a prisoner who had been caught peeping. She was so scared that her hand trembled. She hurriedly lowered her head and did not dare to raise her head again.

Connie felt as if her heart had gone out of control. Her heart was beating wildly, and she could not help but wonder if he was looking in her direction.

It should be a coincidence, right?

He... He shouldn't have noticed that she was peeping at him, right?
