StartNovelTheodore arrived at the dinner at 8 pm.
Members of upper-class society were all gathered there, chatting and enjoying themselves, building connections, and expanding their network.
The moment Theodore appeared, he becthe center of everyone's attention as a crowd formed around him.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAs someone at the top of the pyramid, Theodore didn't need to please others. Practically everyone fell over themselves trying to please him instead. He chere just to show up, and he wasn't intending to stay for long. He would leave after having a few glasses and exchanging pleasantries with speople.
At least, the papers tomorrow would report of Theodore Spencer attending this summit and even saying a few words.
As planned, Theodore exchanged a few pleasantries with speople in a crowd. After less than 10 minutes, he put his glass down and prepared to leave.
Just then, he heard a voice saying, "Strategem Co. is intending to further invest in Class B shares. We're very optimistic about how they'll grow." The voice exploded in Theodore's ears like a bomb.
It was so achingly familiar, Theodore froze on the spot as his vision glazed over.
People spoke around him, chattering away busily, yet he heard none of it. All of the chatter blurred away, leaving only that familiar voice resounding in his ears.
Just then, a svelte figure broke through the crowd and slowly approached Theodore. Despite her small stature, she stood out in the crowd in her white ladies' suit and long black tresses, looking smart yet elegant at the stime.
She stood before Theodore with a champagne glass in hand, smiling graciously at him. "Mr. Spencer." Theodore stared at the woman before him in a daze, remaining silent for a long time. Everyone's attention was turned toward him, wondering why he was suddenly stunned.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSuddenly, everyone realized something as they shifted their attention to Rosalie.
She was the Strategem's representative in Blencalgo, and apparently a very impressive woman.
Theodore imagined countless times how he would reunite with Rosalie. He imagined himself hugging her tight, asking why she left. As long as she was willing to cback, he wouldn't give a damn about anything else. He wouldn't even blher. He just wanted to tell her that as long as she cback, all was good. He had imagined thousands of scenarios, but he never expected to meet Rosalie this way. He felt completely different from what he imagined he would feel, too.
"Mr. Spencer, this is Ms. Young. She's in charge of Strategem's subsidiary in Blencalgo." Someone thought Theodore didn't recognize her and started making introductions.
"I know Mr Spencer. We're old friends," Rosalie said with a smile She took a step forward and went on, "Mr. Spencer, let's talk е somewhere else. Coincidentally, I have something to tell you. Heaven knew how nervous Rosalie was feeling. She had to muster up the courage to approach Theodore and speak to him. She had so many things to tell him, regarding him, regarding Jake. She wanted to ask him so many questions, but it wasn't appropriate to do so in front of so many people. Theodore's heart was racing underneath his cool and calm demeanor.
He had to force himself to snap back to reality with all his might. He placed his glass on a waiter's tray and said coldly, "Pardon me, I have something else to attend to. Please excuse me." With that, Theodore left without so much as turning his head back.
Reporters followed behind Theodore as he left, but his bodyguards stepped forward and blocked their cameras. "Sorry, Mr. Theodore is tired and needs to leave." Rosalie gripped the stem of her glass tight as an awkward smile stretched across her face.
