Chapter 1091 Dislike (6)
The charity dinner was hosted by an octogenarian philanthropist, who has dedicated his entire life to charitable causes. He is highly respected by many, including Elliot.
As the two entered the banquet hall for the evening reception, the security guard standing at the door reached out to stop them.
“Mister and Miss, please collect your number wristbands.”© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
After the security guard finished speaking, he respectfully handed two wristbands to the two people standing at the door.
Rose looked at the wristband in front of her, a puzzled expression appearing in her eyes.
Without waiting for her to ask, the security guard had begun explaining on his own.
“Mr. Harper, Mrs. Harper, Mr. Gomez had added a final mysterious element to tonight’s dinner party, so everyone must wear a numbered wristband before entering.”
“Um,” Rose responded lightly and picked up a bracelet, putting it on casually.
Standing next to her, Elliot extended his slender fingers and also took one. After taking the wristband, he casually put it in the pocket of his suit.
He looked at his wife standing beside him, and his eyes were filled with darkness.
Tonight, everyone will know that his wife is Rose.
Only Rose.
After receiving their wristbands, the two of them walked into the banquet hall together.
Just as the two of them had taken a few steps, suddenly a little guy in a small suit ran over and accidentally bumped into Elliot, causing his body to tilt to one side.
After getting what he wanted, the little guy’s mouth curved slightly and he immediately turned and fled the scene.
Elliot furrowed his brows and watched the little guy run away, his lips pursed tightly into a line. He couldn’t help but feel that something was off.
Standing next to him, Rose watched as the little guy ran away, a hint of peculiar emotion flashing in her eyes.
For some reason, she always felt a familiar feeling from this child, as if she had seen him somewhere before.
The next second, Elliot’s magnetic voice sounded beside her, interrupting Rose’s thoughts. “Let’s go.”
Rose linked her arm with Elliot’s, revealing her professional smile once again.
The appearance of Elliot and Rose immediately caught everyone’s attention, causing a flurry of discussions among the crowd.
Elliot didn’t feel much, he led Rose to Mr. Gomez’s and nodded slightly on his own.
“Mr. Gomez, this is my wife Rose.”
Mr. Gomez greeted them with a friendly smile, his face beaming with warmth.
Rose smiled back, looking at the elderly man with gray hair. “You flatter me, Mr. Gomez.”
“Hahaha,” Mr. Gomez laughed heartily, and the atmosphere became even more jovial.
Just then, Lawrence approached them with a group of people in tow.
“Am I late?” Lawrence asked Mr. Gomez as he arrived.
“Not at all,” replied Mr. Gomez kindly.
Lawrence smiled and gestured to his followers behind him who immediately stepped forward holding a gift box which they opened in front of Mr. Gomez revealing a jade statue that was clearly valuable.
In the next moment, Lawrence’s smooth voice came out from his lips: “My boss sent this gift to you as a token of appreciation, please don’t hesitate to accept it.”
