Seeing that the atmosphere was not quite good, Roger immediately rushed over.
“Hazel, are you okay?”
Roger passed through the crowd and appeared in front of Hazel like a Prince.
His eyes were gentle, and under the light of the crystal lamp, he was in a trance for a moment, as if he was looking at someone through Hazel.
“Mr. Garnett, Hazel is promising. She has unlimited potential in the future. I hope we can cooperate happily with her.”
Holder raised his glass and toasted Hazel.
Although she was not famous yet, her appearance was not bad. She was resilient and had dreams. She did not have the slightest pride because of Mr. Garnett. Holder had a good impression of Hazel.
“Mr. Garnett, is Hazel your companion?”
Sally was wearing a pink self-fitting dress. Her face was beautiful, like a lotus flower in clear water. No wonder she could become Pure Queen. She was also the perfect goddess in the hearts of men.
It was a rare opportunity to get along with Roger, how could she miss it?
“Ms. Johnson, it’s a pleasure to meet you.”
Roger nodded with a smile. “I also like your work very much. It’s rare to see it. You are even more beautiful than on the screen.”
Such courtesy made Sally excited and her eyes flashed with water. “Mr. Garnett, is it true?”
“Of course it’s true.”
Roger’s face twitched, but then he smiled, perfectly concealing the disdain in his eyes.
In the upper-class circle, female stars were just social stars.
It was often seen in the gossip news that a certain female celebrity was married into a wealthy family, but she was married to a fake wealthy family.
How could a real wealthy family allow a woman to be an actress? Stars seemed to have a shining halo. In his eyes, she was nothing.
Sally took Roger’s words seriously. She felt that Mr. Garnett was going to love her.
But Sally looked pure and innocent, and she was fragile, which made men especially pity her.
“It seems that Mr. Garnett wants to change a companion with me?”
Another fat man walked over with a big belly. He raised his wine glass to Roger and grinned. The yellow teeth in his mouth immediately made him vulgar.
Not everyone in the upper-class society had perfect social etiquette, and there will be a few nouveau riche.
“Mr. Chastain, Ms. Johnson is good to you. I don’t think there is a need for that.”
Roger did not need to give him any face at all.
He thought Baron’s woman was really attractive, and as soon as she appeared, she was targeted by two fat men.
Hazel had seen Mr. Chastain once and had a deep impression of him. Moreover, he had some relationship with her.
Her original agent, Fannie, had a roundabout relationship with Mr. Chastain. It was unknown whether it was true or not. In short, Fannie had obtained a lot of resources through this so-called cousin of her race.
On the other hand, Mr. Chastain loved to play with small stars. It could be seen that it was not simple to bring the big star, Sally, to appear today.
“Okay. A gentleman doesn’t take what others want.”
Mr. Chastain laughed. He was not unhappy the entire time. He quickly found a way out for himself.
There were three segments to today’s masquerade ball.
The first segment was normal communication. The guests enjoyed good wine and food, chatted, and talked about cooperation.
The second segment was the charity auction. The money earned would be donated to the foundation.
After all, the rich people liked to be high-profile. Dozens of people were waiting outside the hall for tomorrow’s headlines.
The third, which was also the official segment, was the Mask Ball.
“Hazel, do you like desserts?”
On the table in front of them, there were exquisite snacks. The head chef of this masquerade ball was a master specially invited from France.
“Yes, Opera’s very delicious. It’s a rare opportunity. You can try it.”
Sally smiled hypocritically, pretending to be innocent as she held Hazel’s hand and took the initiative to entertain her like a hostess.
Opera was a famous French dessert with a hundred years of history. The whole cake was full of rich chocolate taste and coffee taste, which melted in the mouth and was fascinating.
Bakery in City J also sold, but the taste was much worse.
Hazel liked desserts very much, but she rarely ate them. A sweet dessert cost a lot of money, which was enough for a month of water and electricity.
Sally said this to test her. She listened to the director Holder. Hazel was a newcomer. She thought Hazel was not a member of the upper class. It was probably a coincidence and Mr. Garnett thought she was interesting.
“If you like, let the chef stay.”
Roger had seen too many sharp words. He patted Hazel on the shoulder, indicating for her not to be nervous.
It was normal for the upper-class people to be xenophobic during such a dance.
However, Sally was crazy. She actually satirized Hazel.
“Mr. Garnett … you are so good to Hazel.”
Sally adjusted her facial expression. She secretly warned herself that she was too impatient.
There was no need for her to make a move on her own. Now she provoked Mr. Garnett.
“Edie is here!”
Someone shouted and everyone turned around.
Edie was wearing a golden floor-length dress, shining with light. The material of the dress was extremely smooth silk, sticking out the curves of her body, her hair smooth over her shoulders.
There was no need for complicated decorations, she herself was shining, eye-catching.
Roger thought that this was not good. Such a grand scene, this woman definitely had to join in the fun!
He wanted to turn around and leave, but it was too late. Edie directly rushed in the direction of Roger.
In an instant, almost everyone’s eyes were focused on them.
The marriage between the Garnett family and the Lambert family was a public secret among the rich and powerful families. Edie and Roger escaped home one after another and hid abroad for two years. Now that they returned home, everyone wondered if the two families would continue this marriage.
The big gossip in the wealthy families was the most attractive.
“You’re here!”
Sally’s eyes darkened. The young miss had arrived. Hazel should have rolled to the side.
Besides, Roger was Edie’s fiancé.
Sally and Edie were not familiar with each other. They had only seen each other two or three times at the banquet. She knew that this young lady had the most perverse personality and did not give a face to others at all.
“Ms. Johnson, long time no see.”
Edie did not shake off Sally’s hand, but she still frowned. She was not used to touching others.
She did not want to attend today’s masquerade ball at all. She tried her best not to appear in places with Roger so as not to be gossiped about by a group of boring people.
In the morning, she received a call from Dave and learned that Baron would return home early.
So, she came.
