He turned his gaze towards those socialite ladies, hoping to find something new from them.
"Isn't that Mrs. Trelawney? She made a great impression on me at the last dinner event, even asked me to dance. It's just that I was a bit reserved at our first meeting and politely declined. To be honest, I had a stomach ache that evening and wasn't in the mood to socialize with them. But today is different, today I will get to know them properly!"
Zhang Xiaobei muttered to himself.
A group of women surrounded a large round table, as if they were about to do some activity. I couldn't help but watch their movements, and among them was Mrs. Marina.
The ladies around the entire round table are all strangers to me, except for Mrs. Marina of course, and Taliesin is also an acquaintance, I suppose.
Suddenly, they turned off the lights in the room, and I heard Mrs. Marina clasping her hands together, leading this group of women in prayer. What are they up to? I leaned in to get a closer look.
Others had their eyes closed, but Marina kept hers open, observing the movements of Taliesin beside her. She watched as Taliesin hastily stood up, left his seat, and walked towards the balcony in the room.
The balcony was filled with flowers and plants, and moonlight shone in through the window, clearly revealing the faint silhouettes of two people among the foliage. One man, one woman. I didn't recognize the man, but the woman was unmistakably Mrs. Trelawney.
What would a man and a woman talk about in the night? I quietly observed them, and I saw the man holding her waist, leaning down to kiss her, and she showed no sign of avoiding it, seeming to enjoy the process. Later, the man's hands became less restrained, and my heart pounded as I watched.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please take your seats in the hall. Mr. Zhan's birthday party is about to begin!"
The emcee in the hall has started the countdown for the birthday banquet event.
At the same time, I also heard Mrs. Marina's voice, "Alright, dear sisters, let's turn on the lights and head to the hall for some fun."
People were all walking towards the hall, and I looked back at the balcony, but I didn't see their figures.
My respected Captain Jan appeared in people's sight with his delicate wife. Everyone went up to greet the couple, and I was about to go up and talk to him, but he saw me first. He turned away from his wife and walked towards me, carefully looking me up and down.
"Very good! How do you feel about yourself today? Are you satisfied?"
"Satisfied, quite satisfied. Thank you for everything you've done to help me! Why didn't Jun Zheng come?"
"Oh, you don't need to worry about him. I've arranged for him to handle other matters. Your task today is to stand out and make everyone here know you. With your handsome and charming appearance, I believe many people will fall in love with you! Young man, you have the ability for it!"
"Thank you for your guidance, sir!"
Music starts playing, and the birthday banquet begins. Mr. Zhan gave a brief opening speech, and everyone officially entered the theme. We first enjoyed the delicious Western meal that was prepared in advance, clinking glasses, exchanging greetings, and getting to know each other.
Some high-ranking officials and wealthy individuals began to send gifts to Mr. Zhan. It was only then that I remembered that someone had already prepared a gift for me. I took out the key and walked into that room. It was a beautifully crafted violin. Although I don't understand music or instruments, I knew that this violin must also be quite expensive. The exquisite appearance alone was enough to prove that. One can only imagine how delightful the sound produced by it would be when played.
"Sir, happy birthday. This is the gift I prepared for you. Please accept it with a smile!"
Although it's fake, I still have to send it. I feel like I've been arranged to do this, with no room for choice.
"Ladies and gentlemen! I want to introduce to you all this friend of mine in a grand manner. He is my new assistant Xiao Bei. He will be hosting many of our social evening events in the future, so please show him your support."
He is very attentive, knows my preferences, and understands my thoughts very well! The gift he prepared for me is the best gift I received tonight.
"Please allow me to perform a piece for everyone with this violin!"
The sound of applause echoed throughout the hall, and people were looking forward to the performance. They all put on a good show. I think the richer people are, the more they like to do this. No one wants to get close to a poor guy. You have to have money. It's really nice to have money!
Various neon lights are flashing non-stop, and people in the dance floor are starting to move. Everyone is finding dance partners and beginning to enjoy the dance.
I locked my gaze on Mrs. Trelawney, not for any other reason, but simply because I politely turned her down last time, and I owe her a dance.
When she was looking around, I walked towards her and made a gesture to invite her.
For a moment, it made me think of Betty. I wonder how she's doing now. It's just a passing thought, even though we're so far apart.
She was very happy and extended her delicate jade-like hand. This was the first time I had a close look at her. Her beauty was astonishing, her skin was fair, and I dared not grip her hand too tightly. Out of politeness, I kissed her hand and gave her a sweet smile, to which she responded with a smile as well.
We started to dance. I was completely captivated by her. My eyes couldn't leave her body for a moment. I don't know if what I was doing was a crime, but I just couldn't control myself.
The delicacy of women has reached its peak in Taliesin. I was not relaxed enough, but when I saw Taliesin's bright and charming eyes, half of my timidity disappeared. My mind went blank, and I even forgot why I was there.
We moved our bodies, getting very close, and our eyes met. I felt that she didn't dislike me. My skin was so fair and delicate, my eyes so gentle. I think she might also have some improper thoughts.
She looks so beautiful, speaking softly and gently. She asked me a question, and I completely blanked. She saw the sweat on my forehead, and my cheeks turned from pale to bright red. She couldn't help but burst into laughter, so charming and lively, with a hint of madness like a happy young girl.
I don't know why she's laughing, maybe it's at me, but she's laughing so happily. I gradually got into the groove, feeling that she likes me, so I danced with enthusiasm. Our dancing attracted the attention of others nearby. I didn't dare to steal Mr. Zhan's limelight, but today I am indeed the envy of others.
After the dance, I was paying attention to every move of Taliesin all night. I have developed a different kind of feeling for this woman, something I've never experienced before.
Back at the apartment at night, I was lost in thought and couldn't sleep. I even boldly thought, how honored it would be if she could become my lover. I comforted myself, thinking that it was just a thought, but how could that be possible? Unless...
I have completely put myself in the ranks of the wealthy, I think my good luck has come!
