Anna walked gracefully into the banquet hall, and it seemed as if all attention in the space was instantly drawn to her. Her dark golden gown shimmered softly under the lights, the smooth fabric flowing with her movements like some rare metal, captivating everyone’s gaze. Her shoulders were elegantly sculpted, and her collarbone formed a perfect curve, her skin glowing softly in the warm light, making her appear both noble and mysterious, like an untouchable, resplendent landscape.
Men's eyes were fixed on her, filled with admiration and awe. Every detail, from her gentle steps to the natural confidence in her gestures, deeply attracted them. Some even quietly set down their champagne glasses, their eyes unabashedly following her every move, as if her presence had instantly added a touch of brilliance to the entire event. A few men could hardly conceal their eager gazes, their expressions enchanted as if she were a goddess descended to earth, leaving them spellbound.
The expressions of the women varied. Some raised their eyebrows slightly, tinged with jealousy, for Anna's aura evoked a sense of unattainable elegance and confidence; others, though overshadowed by her radiance, could not help but show a hint of appreciation, feeling awed by her beauty and grace. Her smile was so serene and understated that it seemed she was accustomed to such scrutiny, and this confidence only deepened her allure.
Anna elegantly brushed aside a strand of golden hair that had fallen over her shoulder and slightly lifted her chin. Her gaze was calm yet warm, her clear eyes reflecting a captivating and composed light under the glow. She resembled a gem radiating brilliance, rendering everything around her dim in comparison. Without needing to make an effort to showcase herself, simply standing there allowed her presence to overshadow all the extravagant decorations surrounding her, making everyone else seem like mere accessories.
As she slowly entered the banquet hall, a young male server caught her eye. He stood beside a massive marble column in neat attire, holding a notebook with a respectful and cautious demeanor. Upon seeing Anna approach, he straightened up immediately and bowed slightly, politely asking, "Miss, may I see your invitation?"
Anna smiled gently; this smile carried a soft yet composed charm that made the server's cheeks flush slightly as he cautiously looked at her, as if afraid to miss any subtle expression on her face. She slowly retrieved an exquisite invitation from her small handbag and handed it to him with graceful ease, resembling a naturally poised debutante.
The server respectfully accepted the invitation and lowered his head to flip through his notebook for verification. Anna's smile remained unchanged as she gazed calmly ahead, seemingly indifferent to the inspection. She felt confident in Lie Hai's skills and knew that the fake invitation in her hand was sufficient to deceive anyone. Yet even so, she maintained an air of calmness that conveyed an unassailable composure, as if declaring to those around her that she had complete control over this charade.
Guests occasionally passed by her side; some inadvertently paused to steal another glance at her. Anna was well aware of her presence; she slightly turned to let the dark golden gown shimmer with flowing light under the illumination. The hem brushed lightly against the floor with each gentle breath she took, exuding an undeniable elegance. She sensed those gazes but chose to dismiss them disdainfully while keeping a faint smile on her face as if all attention directed at her was nothing more than fleeting shadows.
The server flipped through several pages of his notebook; his eyes lingered on the list as his brow furrowed slightly in confusion. He muttered softly to himself: "Anna Dawey... Shengluo Electronics... Strange..."
His puzzled expression caught Anna's attention; she raised an eyebrow slightly, already aware of what was happening. The server nervously looked up at her with an apologetic expression and cautiously said, "Miss, I’m sorry... I don’t know why your invitation is indeed here, but it seems your name is not on the list..."
Before he could finish speaking, Anna elegantly raised a slender finger and gently placed it before him; the gesture was perfectly poised and tender like flirtation. The server paused mid-sentence, astonished by the cold beauty of her eyes as if he felt some invisible pressure; his face flushed slightly as his tone became suddenly awkward.
Anna secretly chuckled inwardly—oh... little boy. This situation had long been anticipated by her and even brought a hint of bored amusement. She withdrew her finger with a subtle smile playing on her lips; her gaze held warmth and calmness as she looked at him with a knowing smile and softly explained: "Actually, this banquet was initially meant for my father—Mr. Dawey—to attend. But you know how his health has been lately; long flights are quite taxing for him. To honor the invitation without letting it go to waste, he asked me to attend in his place." Her voice was gentle and measured, carrying a tranquil strength that resonated throughout the hall.
As she spoke, her fingers gently brushed against the golden strands of hair by her ear, the movement soft and delicate. She slightly tilted her head, a hint of gentle amusement sparkling in her eyes, exuding an irresistible charm. Her explanation flowed naturally and calmly, imbued with a noble and undeniable confidence, as if this banquet were nothing special to her—merely a part of her daily social routine. Each word was delivered at a measured pace, perfectly soothing the server's confusion while further solidifying her identity.
"It might just be a slight administrative delay; perhaps the latest list hasn't been updated yet?" Anna said with a light smile, casually glancing at the server. There was an undercurrent of comforting warmth in her gaze, suggesting that such a minor oversight was hardly worth her concern. This effortless composure made her appear extraordinarily elegant, as if the entire banquet hall should revolve around her.
Listening to Anna's gentle yet assertive explanation, the server's expression softened slightly; his confusion gradually eased. He nodded, seemingly swayed by her persuasive demeanor. Anna's warm and confident gaze left him without doubt, and he wore a faint expression of apology and respect. "Ah, I see... I apologize for the interruption, Miss Anna. Please proceed, and enjoy your time."
Anna elegantly inclined her head slightly, a satisfied smile gracing her lips as a flicker of barely concealed mockery danced in her eyes. For her, this minor incident was merely a lighthearted game; such a flimsy check brought her a sense of delight. The young server appeared so naive and inexperienced before her—nothing more than a puppet she could easily control with just a lift of her hand.
