Kingsley had a childhood sweetheart studying in foreign language school. Her name was Rosaline Woods, and her family owned Doublestar Group. Kingsley’s father was also a powerful man with a great wealth, which means Kingsley and Rosaline were from the same class and they seemed like a perfect match. That was why Nora always felt that she was not good enough. She had nothing after all.
However, Kingsley’s father was sentenced to death for corruption when Kingsley was 18 years old. Kingsley disappeared for a really long time, and when he made a comeback, he had become the young business upstart of City A.
She thought the two of them would never meet again in this life. But when she took the part-time job at that hotel that night and woke up to find the man lying next to her was Kingsley, she finally understood what it was like to be fooled around by her own destiny.
Nora was deeply drowned in her thoughts and memories of the past. Karina found it and frowned, “Why did President Baxter go out again right after he came home?”
“He’s a busy man.”
“You should’ve set more boundaries. You are spoiling him.”
Nora smiled, “Miss King, you must really think highly of me. Who am I to do that?”
After all, who did she think she was? His wife?
It was amazingly kind of Kingsley to pay for her mother’s medical expense. She didn’t dare to dream about anything more than that.
“So is this what you are going to do? Just tolerate him?”
“What other choices do you think I have?” Nora asked with her eyebrows lifted.
“You have a point,” Karina shook her head, “You are not in an equal relationship, and you don’t dare to set more boundaries, well…Maybe you should work hard and earn more money! So how’s your work?”
“I’m still being interviewed.”
Karina drove to the parking lot of Palace Hotel, and she took Nora to change her clothes in the suite she booked in advance. They took the elevator and went to the top floor.
Nora didn’t wear any makeup, except for a little red lipstick. She planned to be Karina’s foil, but apparently she just couldn’t hide her beauty and elegance.
Karina patted on her hand and said, “Stay by my side when we get in there, don’t get lost!”
She looked at Nora’s delicate face and smiled, “I wonder how many men will be attracted by you in there.”
Nora lifted her eyelids, staring at Karina and wore a smile, “My gorgeous Karina, those words are for you.”
Ever since they were just two little girls, Karina had been the most stunning and attractive representative of beauty. She got all the men crazy about her wherever she went, but she always had a high expectation for her future lover. After all, the King Family was noble in City A as well.
There were many men who were attracted to Karina, but none of them had won her heart.
The glamour in Karina’s eyes suddenly vanished.
The accident in America four years ago had made her lose all her interests in men.
The ball hadn’t begun after the two of them got there. Maybe there were some important figures still on their way.
Karina took a look around, and she suddenly saw the latest popular young hunk Finley Evans. She held Nora’s hand and said, “Look, that’s the fresh meat you like! You should get his autograph and take a photo with him.”
The ball was to celebrate the wrap of the famous new film Voyage.
Finley had to be there as the leading man. In some angles in certain light, he looked like an acquaintance of Nora’s, who could share her thoughts in the darkest period. It was something far beyond friendship for her. He was like one of her family. But he left without even saying goodbye in the end, and disappeared from her world.
With Karina’s encouragement, Nora gathered her courage and walked in her high heels towards Finley. She took out her cellphone with a bright smile on her face, “Hello, superstar. Can we take a photo together? I promise I won’t leak it to anyone.”
People who could attend the ball must be strictly examined and they generally had some power and wealth, so Finley didn’t want to refuse her. Besides, the young girl had long hair and crystal black eyes. She was exquisite and stunning.
It was hard to refuse the request of a beautiful woman.
So Finley smiled, “Yes, I’d be happy to.”
As soon as Nora pressed the shutter, she heard a noise from the crowds. It seemed like some great figure was coming to the ball.
Everyone had raised their eyes on the gate of the ballroom.
