As for Michelle Robinson, she held Kingsley's arm even tighter, as if to show that it was hers. He smiled at Winnie and said, "Look at you, Winnie. Why don't you tell me and Kingsley that you're back?"
“I don't think it's necessary.”
“I heard you lost contact with the Chamber family when you decided to move abroad.” Michelle seemed to show her concern for Winnie, but there was a ruse in her words. “Why don't you go back to Chamber Group to see it?” Michelle seemed to realize Winnie's face was beginning to change, Kingsley spoke softly, "Let's go, Michelle."
"Why rush? I haven't seen Winnie in a long time and I want to talk to her!" As he said so, he dragged Winnie towards the elevator without giving her a chance to refuse. Winnie's lips became a little dry and she lowered her head. As the elevator door opened, Michelle dragged him into the elevator. Winnie lowered her head and moved slightly to the side when she saw some guests also enter.
A guest passing by accidentally touched the tip of his nose with his suit. The coldness he felt made him tremble and he felt a sense of familiarity without knowing the reason. He then looked up wanting to peek, but Michelle had been standing in front of him blocking his view and his high heels made him unable to see her clearly. "Winnie, then, can you come?"
"I'm sorry?" Winnie had no idea what she had just said and asked, while turning her eyes away as well.
“My engagement banquet and Kingsley.” Michelle raised her hand and there was a shiny diamond ring on her ring finger. His eyes were filled with complacency and the corners of his red lips curved up. "The next eighteen months, I hope you can come." The familiar but expensive ring was so dazzling that it made Winnie's eyes sore to see it. He recalled the time he went to the jewelry store with Kingsley back then, they pointed to a certain ring, saying that they should use it when they were married in the future. The ring is now worn by Michelle.
"I have work to do, so I may not have time." Winnie turned her head to the side to avoid feeling more uncomfortable.
"Oh come on, Winnie!" Michelle held her hand affectionately and smiled. “I always look forward to you being my bridesmaid someday since a long time ago.” Winnie silently sneered. So that means he's been wanting to steal his girlfriend for a long time? Seeing her not saying a word, Michelle's eyes flickered and she smiled. “I know you're afraid of not having a male partner to bring to the party. Don't worry, I know a lot of friends, and I can introduce you.”
"I have a boyfriend; it's just that I feel uncomfortable leaving." Winnie let go of her hand without changing her expression and continued, "In addition, I'm afraid she won't let me go to my ex-boyfriend's engagement party as well as my best friend's."
Kingsley's expression changed. Michelle's face also froze but she once again grabbed her hand enthusiastically. "Winnie, why don't you call your girlfriend and ask her to come? I really should thank him for taking good care of you."
“No need to bother. He's a busy man.”
During the deadlock, Winnie suddenly stumbled onto something. Losing his balance, he fell straight ahead. Without intending to hold it in, Michelle quietly moved aside. Winnie's chest hit hard and her forehead hurt. He then heard a sneer from above, which was somehow very familiar.
...
In just a few seconds, Winnie stood up straight and looked up. When his eyes touched the cold face of the man, he quietly turned his head to the side and cursed.
Is N City that small? Why does he always meet Afonso Ambrose Villares in such a way every time he takes the elevator?
With a second thought, Winnie suddenly held onto Afonso's shoulder tightly. He could clearly feel the man's body freeze as he approached him and he tried to have a very happy expression. He then said in an affectionate tone of voice, "Honey, do you want to surprise me by quietly waiting inside the elevator? You're a real bad boy..."
Except for Winnie, the other four people who were inside the elevator were all shocked. Michelle even gritted her teeth out of hatred. That guy is very handsome. He looks graceful and cool. From the suit he was wearing, he must be a big boss. How did Winnie get in touch with such a handsome and wealthy man?
Then he smiled. "Oh Winnie, she didn't even look at you when you got into the elevator, where could she be your boyfriend? You're just pretending that he's your girlfriend, but you should at least discuss the script with your acting first." !"
Feeling anxious, Winnie secretly glanced at Afonso. He was a little unconvinced by the man's thoughts and he did not dare to speak any further. The man slightly raised his head arrogantly and said coldly and briefly, "So how much money do you think he should spend to take me to chat with him?"
Winnie. Did Afonso admit that he was his girlfriend?
Levy who quickly analyzed the situation quickly pretended to flip through some documents and said in a voice that sounded, "Master Villares, this is a speech for the celebration..."
“Mr Villares?” Michelle did not manage to control the volume of her voice and she let out a shrill voice. The man in front of him is actually Afonso Ambrose Villares? He had no honor to see her in person, but he heard many rumors about her. Afonso always avoided contact with women.
Some foolish cooperative partners try to give him a partner, but their business relationship with Afonso crumbles in his rage, and the company goes bankrupt in just one night. He suddenly had a son a few years ago but his mother was never mentioned, and everyone was gossiping about it. There were countless women in the city who wanted to be her son's stepmother, but no one could get close to her. But now...
Seeing Winnie in the man's arms, especially when the man was much better than her, Kingsley put on a gloomy face. Michelle could not bear it anymore, she almost dragged Kingsley out of the elevator as they reached the designated floor. He then smiled awkwardly, "Then I look forward to your arrival and Mr. Villares at our engagement party until then, Winnie."
Winnie could only sigh in relief when the elevator door closed again. Afonso took a quick look at it and said, "You were brave enough to challenge me back then, but now you're acting like a coward in front of other people?" His oppressive aura pressuring Winnie made him not dare to move in the slightest. He pressed his back tightly against the wall and clenched his ten fingers. “You can talk, but don't get too close to me when you talk!” Winnie nervous. His tongue seemed to be bound and he stuttered.
That woman is just like the same woman five years ago! Afonso's expression turned grim. He never liked the feeling of insecurity of not being able to control things. Yet the woman before him was able to make him lose control repeatedly. "Aren't you the one who came closer to me in the elevator that day? And you mean you didn't do that on purpose?"
"Who said that? I was in a hurry that day, and it was purely an accident!"
