Chapter 43 Fiance
The people below the stage saw how Lance patted me and even helped me put on the necklace, they
must have already guessed my relationship with Lance.
Why did I get the feeling that Lance was trying to ruin my reputation and image by giving me a
necklace and treated me so close in front of the others? Was he trying to create rumours and hope I
crush under the rumours?
I heard from mom 5 years ago that Lance had an arranged marriage with the daughter of a very
powerful family. She’s the third daughter of the Abel’s Family. Her name is Tiffany Abel.
Tiffany must be studying in the UK now. I don’t know much about her but mom mentioned that she’s a
few years younger than Lance, and that they will proceed to marry
each other when she turns 26, which is soon.
If Lance still didn’t let me off, then I would become the third wheeler of them.
Every paparazzi knew about this arranged marriage, he acted as if we were very close on stage……
didn’t this mean he was trying to push me into hellfire?
Seems like he’s scared that people don’t know I’m his lover. Huh, funny. Then I have officially become
a third wheeler. Great.
How could he be so mean? How?
Even if my mom was his father’s mistress, how could he do this to me by making me like my mom?
Was he punishing me? He must be!
My colleague, Lindy, who got the house pointed at my necklace and said: “something is going on
between you two.”
“What something fishy? Isn’t it obvious she’s f*cking around with the boss? Jennie, you’re so lucky to
be boss’s woman, I envy you.” Another colleague, Janet, spoke beside
us.
I forced a laugh. “Lindy you got a house! What something fishy, I’m just lucky to have taken that piece
of paper.” Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.
“Hmph!” Janet scoffed. “Who are you trying to bluff? You’re obviously his lover.” And with that she
walked away with a glass in her hands.
Lindy patted my shoulder and said: “She’s always like that, she gets jealous easily. Don’t worry about
her okay? She has a crush on boss for a long time already and even
confessed, but boss has an arranged marriage and is from such a powerful family. So it makes sense
that he didn’t accept her.”
I looked at Lindy, was he trying to pretend that she’s comforting me? No. she’s using another way to tell
me that I’m a whore, a third wheel.
After the party. I tried to call a cab but Lace’s car stopped in front of me and asked me to get in. I had
no choice but to get in the car under everyone’s stare.
Lance told the driver to head to Pavilion Residences.
He touched the necklace on my chest and fiddled with the pendant. “You haven’t answered me, do you
like it?”
“of course, it’s from boss.” I answered sarcastically.
His face turned cold for a brief moment and he smiled again. He had a lot of drinks tonight, he reeks of
alcohol. He let go of the pendant and carried me on his lap. He then rested his chin on my shoulder.
“New Year’s Eve is in a few days, tomorrow I need to attend a ball, then after that you go back home
together with me, we spend New Years together.”
He sounded as gentle and soft as a cotton candy, I could feel that Lance was in a good mood today.
“I’m asking you a question, why are you lost in your own thought again?” Lance bit my face. It wasn’t
painful, it was just like a tease between couples.
