Chapter 10
“I am also the daughter of Bill Gates! You look good, but you do not practice a good profession. You are trying to sneak into our Mr. Leonard’s office and steal something, right? Look at your fake brand dress, I didn’t expect you to be a liar.”
“I really didn’t lie to you…. My father and I are the directors of this group….” “Yesterday there was another person who claimed to be our Mr. Emo’s girlfriend and pathetically came to the door with a big belly and made a scene here…. That’s ridiculous, you might as well use that excuse, it’s more believable.” “Did you tell Emos I am actually his girlfriend?”
The receptionist rolled her eyes,
“It seems you really are a stubborn person, if you do not leave I’ll have security throw you out!” I knew it was useless to talk to her, so all I could do was patiently say,Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
“How about this, you connect the internal line and I’ll talk to your Mr. Leonard myself.”
“He’s not in today.”
“That’s the best way to prove my identity….”
“Miss, if you continue to be so stubborn, I will really call the police, go away, it’s a great day, do not bring us bad luck.”
“What great day?”
“Today is Mr. Emos birthday, and all the executives have gone to the Garden Restaurant to celebrate for him, but you are the only one stupid enough to pretend to be Mr. Leonard’s daughter! If you have time to cheat, you might as well find a way to go there and see what a real celebrity looks like!”
I knew it was a waste of time to keep talking to her, the Garden Restaurant, I knew where it was!
“Master, go to the Golden Hotel,” I hailed a cab and got in.
I felt weird, should I say that this receptionist is intentionally giving me trouble, or that she is dedicated to the cause.
I took out my cell phone to call my parents, and after calling several times, no one answered.
I called my sister again and then Emos, but these four people, without exception, did not respond to my calls.
“I have a question for you: Is this the Moon group, how did it become the Star group?” I was bored and wanted to find a topic to relieve my boredom.
The cab driver drove and said, “I do not know, I have been here for two years and it’s always been the Star group, I have never heard of the Moon group.”
“Thank you.” I stopped asking questions and when I arrived at the Golden Hotel, I pushed the elevator to the top floor of the Garden Restaurant.
Without an invitation, the two security guards refused to let me in, and no matter how I explained it, they were just ironclad and would not let me in.
“I really am Leonard’s daughter!” “If you do not leave, it’s going to be rough!” “Trista?” I lifted my gaze.
Alluring big wavy curls resting on the side of her chest, sexy V-neck, seductive eyes, enchanting red lips….
Isn’t this Emma? I have not seen her for three years, she is getting more and more charming. Two security guards saw her and hurriedly greeted her,
“Miss Emma!” Emma obviously did not look them in the eye, but smiled sweetly at me and said,
“When did you get back? How come I did not hear my flirting brother mention it? Two days ago, when my father forced him to marry, he also used you as a shield and asked my father to carve a model of you.”
Emma said here, suddenly smiling charmingly.
Her smile was beautiful, like a flower bud blossoming all at once, beautiful enough to take people by surprise.
“Sister Emma, do not tease me, you have been teasing me since I was a child.” “How can you think this is a joke, winning the heart of my philandering brother and even chasing him three years in a row, you broke his longest record of chasing someone, before, he wanted any woman, and can practically get, only you are the hardest to get.”
She reached out and nudged my nose with a sly smile.
“Sister Emma, stop it, you are just in time, they don’t believe it’s me, and I am asking you to testify for me.”
“And what’s in it for me?” Emma’s fingers tapped her chin and she tilted her head thoughtfully,
“Miss Trista’s identity is so honorable that I’ll have to do some blackmailing to get it.”
“Keep in mind that I owe you a favor that I will certainly repay later.”
“I can raise the terms?”
“As long as I can do it, you can ask for it.”
“I am glad to hear that.” She looked proudly at the two security guards, her tone full of contempt,
“Did you see clearly? If you know what you are doing, get out of my way….” The two security guards hurriedly let her go,
“We are really sorry!” I thanked Emma and was about to leave when I heard her say, “But Trista, you have come at a bad time today, do not say I did not warn you.” I froze, “I don’t understand what you…. saying.” She picked up a glass of wine from the passing waiter’s tray and tasted it calmly and with a charming smile, “From what I understand, there will be a good show later. So Trista, be prepared.”
Suddenly, the lights dimmed, and a beam of light appeared on the stage. Leonard stood on the stage smiling, “I invite you all here today to celebrate not only the birthday of my son-in-law Emos, but also the third anniversary of the merger of the Moon Group and the Nash Group, where I have a joyful announcement to make about my daughter’s wedding —” The whole room cooperated, fell silent, and waited with bated breath…. Group merger? When did that happen? I was a little confused and curious at the same time, was Dad going to announce my marriage to Emos? Why did not he discuss this with me beforehand? “First, let us invite our young son-in-law Emos to the stage!” Leonard initiated the applause. I clapped along. I had not seen Emos in three years, but he looked much better, had a gentle smile on his face, and seemed much more approachable. Even from a distance, I thought he was wonderful. “And then I’d like to ask my daughter Ashley to come up on stage.”
In Leonard’s voice, the entire audience applauded, and Ashley took the stage with a smile on her face, looking even more dignified after three years. But what I did not expect was that Emo’s hand was on Ashley’s waist and they were looking at each other so lovingly, as if they were a couple in love. The bolt from the blue came so quickly! I almost couldn’t stand up.
Almost unbearably, I stumbled backward, unable to believe that my friend and sister were about to announce their wedding…. Emma held me by the hand, “This picture is not acceptable? There’s more to come.”
