John lifted a curious eyebrow in response. “Did you just call me Mr. Carter? Shouldn‘t you be calling me something else?” Tina blushed in embarrassment and hurriedly amended her words. “Right. John.”
Happiness was evident in John‘s eyes upon hearing Tina calling his name. He might have only met her a few times in the past, but destiny tended to work wonders. He even had a feeling that Tina was the younger sister whom he had taken care of since they were young.
“Let‘s go,” he said. “I‘ll take you somewhere you change into new clothes.”
Tina finally realized that she didn‘t know where they were going. “Um... Where are we going, by the way?” she asked
“We‘re attending the banquet hosted by the Langfords,” John replied.
Tina was shocked to hear the answer. She had just given her spot to Pearl, but she never expected that she had the chance to attend the banquet again.
Then again, John was Samuel‘s collaboration partner. It was common courtesy to invite him to the banquet the latter hosted, after all.
Meanwhile, the aforementioned man happened to be studying Tina‘s expression. A misunderstanding was already brewing in his mind when he saw the shock on her face.
The last time they met, he had saved her in the company.
After Samuel whisked Tina away by force, John was worried about her. As such, he had his men poke around for information about them. Only then did he discover the duo‘s complicated relationship As far as he knew, Samuel would be bringing Cindy as his plus one in the banquet.
It was obvious that Samuel treated Tina like dirt.
While gazing at Tina‘s complicated expression, John said in a soft yet serious tone, “I‘m here, Tina. I won‘t let anyone push you around.“. Tina knew right away that John was misunderstanding her. “Actually, my relationship with Mr. Langford is...” “It‘s alright. You don‘t have to tell me everything. I won‘t meddle with you and Mr. Langford‘s affairs,” John interrupted. “After all, when you started your relationship with him, we were still strangers. However, you‘re now my younger sister. I will always stand with you on the same side. Just remember that.” All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.
John‘s tone showed his protective nature.
His words touched Tina greatly. She originally thought that he would be disgusted by her because of what happened between her and Samuel. At that moment, the driver spoke up. “Mr. Carter, we‘ve arrived at our destination.”
that lol load taken dier to the saine designer studio that she
Tina locked around and not hai been to previously
This time, he was the one who took hier into the studio to browse for gowns
“This gown suits you,” Iohin suddenly sald The gown that he had his eye on happened to be the million dollar gown that lina had worn the last time she was here,
Tina rejected John‘s suggestion immediately. “N–No, it doesn‘t...” “This is the one.” Her older brother‘s tone was gente yet domineering at the same time.” You‘re my younger sister, so this gown will be your welcoming present into the family Besides, you‘re my plus one for tonight‘s banquet. I can‘t let you wear
a simple gown to that banquet. I have a reputation to maintain, after all.” Tina had no choice but to slip into that gown for John‘s sake,
When she exited the fitting room, surprise and awe flashed in John‘s eyes. He praised happily, “Just as I expected, this gown suits you perfectly.”
After Tina was done with dressing up and applying makeup on her face, she and john left the designer studio, Soon, they arrived at the live–star hotel that served as the venue of the Langfords‘ banquet. Perhaps it was due to the fact that John was her partner, but the moment l‘ina got out of the car, she attracted everyone‘s attention immediately, Feeling quite awkward, she lowered her head and walked behind John. Before she could take a few steps forward, a piercing shriek rang from behind her.
“Tina?! What are you doing here?!”.
Pearl couldn‘t believe her eyes. To think that the gorgeous woman in front of her was actually Tina...!
