Chapter 39 Why Does She Like You?
After entering Levi’s Manor, Hellen chatted with Darcy and introduced Luz to her by the way.
“This is my assistant, a student from Tempe University, Luz Walker.” Hellen smiled.
Darcy looked at him with glowing eyes. “What a handsome young man.”
Luz stood beside Hellen and said, “Hello, Miss. Lewis.”
“Miss. Lewis? Call me Darcy.” Darcy stared at Luz, cocked her head, and fell into deep thought. “I probably have seen you somewhere.”
Luz’s face turned red.
He used to be a male model, and the guest was her.
However, she had drunk a lot that day and another man was sitting next to her, so she didn’t have a clear impression of it.
Hellen changed the topic. “Thank you for taking care of my brother. I really want to express my appreciation, but recently, I have to manage the company, so I don’t have time. Later, I’ll treat you to dinner.”
“Well, I need to look after your brother at night, so I usually sleep during the day. I don’t have time either.”
Hellen was somewhat puzzled. “You don’t need to take care of him all night. He injured his bones. You should sleep well at night.”
Darcy cleared her throat and looked away guiltily. “Where is Eddie? He is the star today.”
Not long after, Eddie arrived.
“Missy, Miss. Lewis.” Eddie was dressed in a dark blue suit. He was handsome, so he attracted the attention of many girls in the venue.
The three of them chatted for a while and then Eddie cleverly separated Luz and Hellen.
Darcy smiled and joked, “You used to be a playboy. Now that you are about to become the president of The Levi Group, you may be even more attractive.”
Luz stood silently at the side and stared at the man’s head. “This man must have done it on purpose! He must love Hellen!”
Eddie curled up his lips slightly. “I am not a playboy anymore. Right now, I only have interest in one person.”NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.
His gaze fell upon Hellen’s face next to him.
Hellen swirled the cup in her hand. “Yes, you have always been interested in only one person.”
She knew him, her brother’s best friend, very well. He was a famous playboy in Tempe City. But he was different from those who dated many girls at the same time, he was in love with the process of pursuing.
Every woman who had been pursued by him thought they have made him a loyal man. He pursued women with a sincere heart and never failed.
He looked aggrieved. “Missy, how can you think so?”
Hellen glanced at him and said with an indifferent voice. “Mr. Levi, the fox preys farthest from his hole.”
“Preys farthest? How about the nearest preys?” Eddie’s words were indecent, but he was truly handsome, making many women fall in love with him.
“Missy, the scenery of my manor is good. Would you like me to show you?”
Hellen was very clear about his character, so she took a step back and returned to Luz’s side.
“I have a companion, thank you.”
Eddie narrowed his eyes and looked at Luz. “Your assistant?”
Luz stood where he was and looked back. He was tall.
The two looked at each other for a few seconds and then Eddie chuckled. “Interesting.”
A poor boy with a special charisma. He was not simple.
So he might have another rival in love?
But Eddie did not mind this kind of challenge. He was determined to get Hellen.
After chatting for a while, the servants of the Levi family came.
“Mr. Levi, your father wants you to come over. You will speak on the stage later.”
Eddie responded and left.
Seeing his back, Darcy sighed. “I’m afraid it won’t be easy for him to take over The Levi Group.”
“Didn’t he already take it over?” Hellen was puzzled.
“His parents have always disliked him, and they didn’t mean to let him take over. But I think they’ll still be slightly restrained him.”
After a while, Eddie went to the stage to give a speech.
Hellen heard it was mostly official language. He talked about the future development of The Levi Group and thanked a group of business partners.
She was a little tired and her grip on Luz’s arm became a little heavier.
Luz turned his head. “Hellen, do you want to lean against me and rest for a while?”
“I’m fine.” Hellen had been exhausted over the past few days. Otherwise, such a banquet wouldn’t have been enough to wear her out.
Halfway through Eddie’s speech, the last guest entered the manor.
Hans was the last to arrive. When he entered, he saw that Eddie was already talking, so he stood at the door and listened.
He was not interested in these official speeches.
In the corner, Natalie who wanted to disappear saw Hans and quickly walked over.
“Hans, you’re here!” Natalie held his arm. Her eyes were red as if she had found someone she could rely on.
But Hans frowned slightly and said indifferently, “Yes.”
Usually, he would have asked Natalie what was wrong with her. Her eyes were obviously in tears.
But today, he wanted to know if she would tell him if he didn’t ask.
Natalie bit her lower lip. She hadn’t waited for Hans to ask her…
However, she had specially gone to the bathroom to add some red eye shadows to the rims of her eyes. Otherwise, all her efforts would have been in vain!
She was about to cry and quietly told him what had just happened.
“Hans, Hellen doesn’t seem to like me anymore.”
Hans looked up at Hellen, who was not far away. She was leaning against a man.
He fell silent and looked at Natalie suspiciously. “Why does she like you?”
To Hellen, she was the one who ruined her marriage after all.
Natalie’s words made Hans feel incredulous.
“I, I just think you and she were once married. Since you used to be family, we should make friends.” Natalie stammered. Her eyes were watery, proof of her sincerity.
Make friends?
Given Hellen’s current temper, it was impossible.
Hans looked at the blue figure.
Hellen was ostentatious and wild. She was extremely skilled. Standing there causally, she seemed rather out of place.
Like a pearl in the sand, it was difficult not to notice her.
Eddie finished his speech, the crowd started to applaud. Very quickly, someone spotted Hans and many people came over to toast him.
Tempe City was the headquarters of the Grant Group, and its business had spread all over the world. Everyone wanted to cooperate with them.
At the same time, there were more people around Hellen.
The only company present that could compare to the Grant Group was The Jovano Group.
Hans had been looking for an opportunity to find Hellen. He had come late today because of his grandmother.
He wanted to speak with Hellen, but he had never had the chance.
Hellen was laughing beautifully and demurely in the crowd, while Luz by her side was serious.
Many people flattered Hellen, but some of them who did not know about her relationship with Luz also flattered him.
“A man of striking appearance”, “Noble and handsome”. Exaggerated words were spoken in an exceedingly natural manner by all sorts of people in front of him.
Luz had seen the dark side of human nature. Now, as he looked at the group of well-dressed “high-class people” who were trying to flatter him, he knew very well.
All of them had ulterior motives.
In the crowd, a big-bellied man suddenly looked at Luz and got a shine in his eyes. “Luz?”
The moment he saw the man, Luz turned slightly pale. This was the boss of Blue Bloom Club, why was he here?!
