Chapter 689 Still Missing Aletta
When Willow was lost in thought, Vincent’s voice sounded from inside again.
He said: “You have to go to a reception tonight, it is the one from the International Chamber of Commerce, and you are required to bring a female companion.”
Hearing his words, Alex frowned suddenly, obviously a little unhappy.
In the past, when Aletta was still abroad, when he attended a reception, he would call people to make up the number and introduce her to some contacts along the way.
But since Aletta returned to America, Alex almost never appeared on such occasions.
However, this time the International Chamber of Commerce had to go.
Because this chamber of commerce is led by the major groups in Yargsbourgh, if it is absent, it is clear that it will not give others face…
Although he could see the reluctance of the other party, Vincent knew that his master would attend the banquet.
So I asked, “Need someone to help you?”
Alex hardly thought about it, and replied directly: “No need.”
unnecessary? Is it because there is no one you like?
Vincent twitched the corners of his mouth secretly, and couldn’t help reminding, “Miss Aletta is already someone else’s wife.”
Alex turned his head, his tone and expression were full of disgust, “Do you need to say it?”
Vincent quickly explained: “I thought you were still thinking about Miss Aletta…”
Alex’s face darkened, and he wanted to kill this person in his heart!
“No one will treat you as dumb if you don’t speak.”
Willow outside the door, hearing these words, couldn’t help feeling bitter in his heart.
Her hand holding the tray also tightened a little, and the thought of leaving came to her heart.
But when he turned around, Willow didn’t pay attention, and accidentally touched the door panel, and the tray hit the door frame, making a rather muffled sound.
In an instant, the room was quiet.
After a few seconds, Vincent came to open the door, saw her, and asked aloofly, “What’s the matter?”
Willow managed to regain his composure, and said, “I’ll deliver the tea.” Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
Vincent glanced at the herbal tea she was holding.
This is taken from the Miss Aletta Institute.
A few years ago, because of my master’s physical problems, he suffered from long-term insomnia. Miss Aletta made this tea and ordered him to bring it. It has the effect of helping sleep.
During this period of time, his master was a little unwell, and hadn’t
been able to sleep well.
Unexpectedly, he was noticed by the spy.
Vincent looked at the steaming tea, suppressed the surprise in his heart, and said, “Then bring it in.”
Willow nodded, lowered his head, and followed the people through the door.
She put the tea on the table, put away the tray, and lowered her head, not looking at anyone.
He just said respectfully: “Mr. Black, drink the tea while it’s hot, it’s more effective.”
Alex raised his eyelids coldly and glanced at the person.
When his gaze swept over Willow’s fingers, he unconsciously lingered for an extra moment.
There seems to be a new Band-Aid in there?
The moment the thought landed, Alex frowned and quickly looked
away.
He felt a little displeased and irritated by his inexplicable focus.
This scheming woman has nothing to do with him if her hand is broken!
Finding that the other party hadn’t responded or made any movement, Willow raised his eyes quietly.
As a result, she saw that Alex’s face was full of displeasure.
Willow smiled wryly in his heart, bowed his head again, and said in a
calm voice, “If there’s nothing else, I’ll step back first.”
After finishing speaking, she turned around and was about to go to the door.
In the next second, Alex suddenly yelled, “Wait a minute!”
Willow paused, feeling a little puzzled, “What else do you want?”
“You get ready later, and go to a reception with me later.”
Willow’s eyes widened immediately, and his mouth was slightly parted, deeply surprised.
She seemed to be frightened, and subconsciously asked, “Me? Are you sure?”
Alex thought, damn it, why did he just say that in a flash!
Vincent at the side was also very surprised, not understanding why his master suddenly said such a thing.
However, seeing that Alex’s complexion had obviously deteriorated, he naturally didn’t dare to ask any more questions.
Alex was annoyed for a while about his mouth.
In the end, he could only suppress his emotions, raised his eyelids, glanced at Willow, and said unhappily, “Is there a problem?”
At this time, Willow also recovered from the impact just now.
She quickly shook her head and replied, “No, but I don’t have a dress to wear.”
Alex seemed even more upset.
He raised his eyebrows and glanced at the watch in his hand.
It’s not too late. It’s too late for them to go out now.
Alex said straight away, “Go get ready, we’ll be out in five minutes.”
Willow hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded and left quickly.
Seeing this, Vincent hesitated to speak, but after thinking about it, he held back his words.
Forget it, the beauty of that spy lady is not bad.
to have someone around him, so as not to be approached by those women with ulterior motives.
Soon, Alex took Willow out.
Half an hour later, I arrived at a well-known private tailoring shop in Yargsbourgh.
Here, you can not only order clothing, but also help design makeup.
In short, this series of thoughtful services are very popular among rich and famous ladies.
Once inside, a stylishly dressed stylist greeted him and shouted enthusiastically, “Mr. Black!”
Alex pointed to Willow behind him, and said directly: “Give her a look, and choose a dress, suitable for the reception.”
Upon hearing this, the stylist replied with a smile, “Okay, Ms. Rogers, please follow me.”
Willow’s expression froze slightly, and he froze in place uncontrollably.
Alex was also slightly taken aback, his expression becoming
unpredictable.
Willow glanced at him and pinched his own palm hard.
Then he said lightly, “I’m not Ms. Rogers.”
Only then did the stylist come to her senses, and hurriedly apologized to her, “Oh, I’m so sorry, I read it wrong!”
Just now, Willow was standing behind Alex, just looking at the surrounding environment, and the stylist didn’t see her face.
However, from the side, Willow and Aletta are somewhat similar.
In addition, Alex has only brought Aletta here in the past.
That’s why the stylist blurted out that sentence.
At this moment, meeting Willow’s gaze, the stylist was embarrassed and didn’t know how to explain, so he could only apologize again.
Willow pursed his lips, feeling really affected.
Recently, she often heard some remarks from the Black family’s servants, saying that she was somewhat similar to Ms. Rogers.
Today, more than one thinks so.
Was it because of this that the man in front of him suddenly called her to be his girlfriend?
