Chapter 64: Gentle Treatment
Suzanne was a little impatient at first, but when she saw Lan, she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.
Lan was not in bright-colored suit as he had been in the morning. He was dressed in a white suit and had a slender figure. He was handsome, and his blue eyes were extremely beautiful. He gave people a very gentle feeling.
Vito knew Lan. When he saw that Lan was here in person, he couldn’t help feeling a little surprised. He turned his head to look at Suzanne. He really didn’t expect that Suzanne also knew this famous fashion designer.
“It turns out that I really don’t understand you.” He sighed as if he was a little upset.
Suzanne sneered and thought, “Yeah, you know little about me. Other than when I was in school, you barely had any contact with my friends and family after I came to work. Every time you said that you would meet me next time if I had something to say.”
Suzanne didn’t want to recall those unpleasant memories, so she moved away a little, lowered her gaze, and said indifferently, “Mr. Brown, I don’t think you’ll waste such a good opportunity to negotiate with those big shots today.”
Vito stared at Suzanne for a long time. When Lan let go of his wrist, he pursed his lips. In the end, he didn’t say anything and left quickly. It seemed that Suzanne’s words reminded him that it was a banquet for those famous elites.
“Do you know each other before?” Lan stared at Vito’s back for a long time. When he turned to look at Suzanne, he found that she did not look well.
Suzanne was silent for a moment, and then she nodded. She felt that there was no need to hide this from him, so she said helplessly, “Yeah, he’s my ex.”
“Oh, no. Such an inferior man!” Lan was shocked.
He laughed a few times and thought it was really interesting. He couldn’t help joking, “Edwiin actually allowed you to date such a man? Tut-tut, after knowing him for so long, why didn’t I know that he has become so broad-minded?”NôvelDrama.Org © content.
Suzanne’s face turned red and she said awkwardly, “No, I don’t have that kind of relationship with Edwiin.”
“I don’t believe it. Are you trying to say that you are just his sister?” Lan snorted and obviously didn’t believe Suzanne’s words. “If you guys have nothing to do with each other, how could he know your size and ask me to design a few sets of clothes for you?”
Remembering that ridiculous night, Suzanne felt ashamed. She opened her mouth but didn’t know what to say. She wanted to explain, but she couldn’t.
Why did Edwiin remember her measurements so well? It was too embarrassing.
Faced with Lan’s inquisitive gaze, Suzanne felt a little flustered. After exchanging a few words with him, she found an excuse to leave in a hurry. As soon as she arrived at the banquet hall, she bumped into by Edwiin.
“Is anything all right? You don’t look well.” Edwiin came forward and slightly furrowed his brows. He lightly waved his hand and the attendant with a tray next to him politely withdrew.
“Do I?” Suzanne touched her cheek and squeezed out a smile. She pretended to be calm and said, “Maybe it’s because I’ve walked for too long in high heels. I’m a little tired.”
Edwiin didn’t say anything. He walked up to her and wrapped his arms around her waist, leaning more than half of her body into his embrace. Then, he turned around and led her to the rest area not far away.
Suzanne tensed up, and even her voice sound nervous. “Ed, Edwiin, it is such a good opportunity for you talk business here. Why don’t you go ahead?”
“When did I need to find someone else?” Edwiin sneered. His cold voice carried the usual indifference and arrogance, but he also had the capital to be arrogant, “It’s good enough to just stand there and let them find me.”
Suzanne gave a hollow laugh and didn’t know what to say.
She had just sat down on the soft leather sofa with Edwiin’s help and her nerves relaxed a little. Before she could react, he lifted his skirt and helped her take off her silver high heels.
Suzanne exclaimed and bit her lower lip. Her tender feet rested on his leg. His palm was wide and hot, and he massaged her slowly and gently to relieve her pain.
Edwiin called the lobby manager on patrol and told him the shoe size. After the manager left, he didn’t stand up. Instead, he took off Suzanne’s high heels on her other foot and massaged her feet.
“Edwiin, no, there’s no need,” Suzanne said in a low voice. She wanted to pull her foot back, but his big hand held her tightly and she couldn’t move at all. She could only put it on his leg.
Edwiin’s attitude made her a little flustered, especially when she saw that many people in the banquet hall were looking at her. She felt even more uneasy.
Fortunately, those media reporters were all blocked at the door of the hotel. If they saw what the big boss of the VOE does for a woman, they would probably take the opportunity to make another explosive news.
“If you don’t massage it, you’ll have trouble going to work tomorrow.” Edwiin frowned. He felt very uncomfortable when he saw that Suzanne’s toes were slightly red. He wouldn’t be able to buy high heels of this brand next time.
Rae and Karen were not far away from them.
Seeing Edwiin’s attitude toward Suzanne, Rae felt very uncomfortable.
She had been keeping an eye on Edwiin for a long time, but she hadn’t seen any scandals. The most common person around him was his beautiful and competent secretary, Deirdre. She didn’t expect that Suzanne would appear this time.
Remembering that Karen said there was a man who drove Maybach to pick up Suzanne, Rae frowned. Edwiin was also driving a black Maybach. If it was really him who was picking up Suzanne, hadn’t they known each other for a long time?
“Shameless woman!” Karen snorted and stood next to Rae with her arms crossed. She was a little dissatisfied and jealous. “I really don’t understand why such a good man would take a fancy to Suzanne. It’s irritating.”
“She must have her own ability.” Seeing Suzanne’s shyness and uneasiness, Rae was a little jealous, and her tone was cold, “Since she can be treated like this by Edwiin, it shows that she is not only his dancing partner.”
“Yet the two can’t be a couple,” Karen concluded. She looked in the direction of Rae’s gaze toward to Suzanne and said with disdain, “If she really becomes Edwiin’s girlfriend, why is she still staying in a TV station?”
Rae waved at Karen. Seeing her approach, she whispered, “Didn’t you say that you wanted Suzanne’s position? I’ll talk to my father when I’m free.”
Hearing that, Karen was delighted.
Although she was working in Suzanne’s department now, for some reason, she only acted as a host for the evening news. If she could take over Suzanne’s position and become the host of a variety show, her popularity might instantly soar by a dozen times.
After being excited for a while, the smile on Karen’s face cooled down. She said with some embarrassment, “But Rae, she has Myron’s support. Last time, I saw him talking to Mr. Hook at our TV station. Will it be difficult to deal with this matter?”
“It doesn’t matter.” Rae smiled softly. “I didn’t say that I would drive her out of the TV station. Can Myron come to me for revenge?”
Karen was stunned. Thinking of some of Rae’s plans, she couldn’t help smiling sweetly. Holding her arms, she said coquettishly, “Rae, my future is up to you. Please!”
