Chapter 35 Why Wear a Mask?
Lily is also a little surprised after seeing the man clearly, "Oriel? Are you sure?"
The director is very famous for filming suspense film, and she quite likes it.
"Yes, it’s he." Joey takes Lily to walk over and whispers, "Sister, don't say it too straightforward, after
all, I'm still a green hand in the entertainment circle."
"..."
She hasn't seen that a green hand can have endorsements for Dior and Valentino.
Lily follows Joey to director Oriel.
"Hello, Director Oriel." Lily knows that the director is French and doesn’t like English very much, so she
greets in French, "It's an honor to meet you." © NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
Director Oriel sees Lily is so fluent in French and he has a little interest, and chats with her.
After chatting for a while, Lily introduces Joey to him, saying that she is her sister, and she just steps in
the entertainment circle. Lily also mentions the Joey likes Oriel's work very much. Joey, who doesn’t
understand French, just smiles.
Joey's appearance seems to satisfy Director Oriel. He gives Lily a business card and asks Lily to tell
Joey the date and location of the audition. Lily takes it with a smile.
After leaving Director Oriel, Lily gives Joey the business card, bending over and rubbing her ankle.
These shoes look good, but they pinch her feet.
"Wow, sister, you are awesome." Joey stuns when she takes the business card, and couldn't believe it,
"You can get the business card of Director Oriel?"
"Don't be stupid, it's just a chance to audition. Dozens of people compete for the role!"
Joey grins, "It's okay, I have a lot of time now, maybe I can get it. If I act in his movie, even if there are
only several lines, I will be different!"
Lily purses her lips and says helplessly, "Well. It’s done. Can we go back?"
As long as she thinks that John is at the reception, Lily is worried, and she is afraid of encountering
him. with John here, she is not interested in the reception.
"Sister, we have been here for less than half an hour." Joey mutters, "We are in no hurry to go home."
When she says this, her eyes are still looking around.
Where is her brother-in-law?
Besides, if she just takes Lily away, things would fail.
"Didn't you just say that I just need to be a translator?" Lily couldn't help asking Joey who is looking
around, “What are you looking at? What do you want to do?"
Joey wants to find a chance to call John, and she immediately covers her stomach, saying, "Oh, I have
a stomachache. I will go to the bathroom."
Lily's feet hurt a bit, so she has to find a place to have a rest.
The lights in the banquet hall gradually dims, and the music is replaced by waltz. It seems that dancing
part is going to be on. Lily sits down on the bench by the door. Surprisingly, there comes her
acquaintance.
It is Louis and Chloe.
Louis is dressed in a black suit, tall and handsome. Even if he doesn’t do anything, the unique
temperament makes people cannot ignore him.
Chloe holding his arm is still arrogant and wanton. Her fresh red fishtail skirt makes her charming. She
raises her head slightly, like a princess who is especially favored by Louis.
Lily has to get up and greet them because she is sitting next to them, only one meter away.
"Mr. Louis."
"Miss Lily." Louis is slightly surprised to see Lily holding the diamond handbag. He has to admit that Lily
has a good shape and she looks so stunning in the dress.
The neckline of the dress Lily wears is a deep V, with a layer of tulle in the middle. From time to time, it
shows her fair skin. Louis’s breath is tight when he sweeps it leisurely.
He thinks of that night when they spent the night together, and Lily was under him.
It's so beautiful.
Compared to Louis, Chloe looks gloomy when she sees Lily, and she wants to pierce through her.
This is Joey’s sister. Not only did Louis blame her for Lily, her sister even gets all her good resources!
Chloe couldn’t understand who Joey has met.
"Hey, you are just an interpreter. How can you come to this reception?" Chloe ridicules her angrily, "Or,
are you just like your sister, getting acquaintance with some big bosses?"
Lily is not annoyed and smiles slightly, "Yeah, I'm just an interpreter, not as famous as Miss Chloe, but
the host is hospitable, so he invited more guests."
"What do you mean? Did you mean that I am also invited casually?" Chloe immediately shouts,
“President Gosse and Louis are good friends. It’s he who personally gave us the invitation card!"
"I never meant that!"
"You!" Chloe is unhappy looking at Lily's indifferent appearance. Just when she is about to attack, Louis
coughs low, seemingly unhappy.
Louis says in a deep voice, "Chloe, pay attention to your words and acts."
Chloe grunts in dissatisfaction.
Before leaving, she also turns to stare at Lily.
"Last time you lost your temper, and I don’t want to see it again." Chloe walks through the crowd, and
Louis's voice enter her ears, very cold, "Did you hear me?"
Chloe panics and vaguely says, "I am good recently. I am busy with shooting movies and didn’t make
any mistakes. But Joey takes away several of my international endorsements! I don’t know what
happens."
"I'm talking about the photos." Louis pauses and doesn’t want to beat around the bush, “You don't know
Lily, and that's her business. Why do you interfere in it?"
Chloe bites her lips.
She just finds someone to follow Lily and want to teach her a lesson, but unexpectedly she discovers
that Louis takes Lily to the hotel, and they stayed in the hotel overnight.
She is so angry. But she just happens to know the dispute between Lily and Jason, so she sends the
photo to Lucy and wants to make Lily lose her reputation. Unexpectedly, Lucy is so useless!
Louis caresses her hair oppressively, "Chloe, you are in this position, and you don’t lack resources at
all. You have to bear in mind that you are relying on the Smith Group."
"I can give you whatever you want, but you can't play tricks and causes troubles, especially for Lily. No
matter who is supporting her sister, don't trouble her."
"She snatches my resources. Can't I be silent?" Chloe says angrily, “And, Louis, you always speak for
that Lily, do you like her?"
"I told you not to trouble her and don’t get involved with other things."
"If you don't make it clear, just admit you like her!" Chloe thinks of the pictures, and she doesn’t let go,
“If you really care about me, you shouldn’t have any contact with her."
Louis turns his head to look at her, his eyes gloomy, "Do you know what you are talking about?"
He hates others threatening him.
"I… I was wrong!" Chloe sees he is angry, and quickly apologizes, "I just don't like her. In the future, I
will stay away from her. Louis, please don't punish me."
Louis calms down when he hears this. When he sees President Gosse in the crowd, he takes Chloe
over.
Lily waits for a while and doesn’t see Joey come back.
She suspects that Joey must be flirting with handsome guys, as Joey doesn’t answer her phone.
At this moment, the ball begins.
The men and women in the banquet hall walk towards the center of the venue in pairs, dancing the
elegant waltz. Those who do not like dancing are chatting by the tables or admire at the couples
quietly.
None of the people who can come to this reception are ordinary guests, and they are good at social
dancing.
Lily sits there and watches at them. It is so pleasing to the eyes.
At this time, a man with a feather mask walks towards Lily. He is wearing a white suit, which just
matches the dress Lily wears.
He bends over and reaches out to Lily, as if to invite her.
"Sorry, just find someone else." Lily refuses him. The light is dim, and the man is wearing a mask. She
could only see that he has a good shape and she feels familiar.
The man doesn’t seem to hear Lily's refusal, keeping the posture still.
What’s up with the man?
After a stalemate for a minute, Lily is embarrassed at first, then she accepts him. Anyway, it is a dance,
and it soon ends.
She puts her hand on the palm of the man. When she touches his hand, Lily's fingertips are electrified,
and her hand is numb. Soon her hand is tightly held by the man, who pulls her to the center of the
venue.
The man is a gentleman, and he puts his hand gently on Lily's shoulder. He doesn’t have excessive
moves, which makes Lily relaxed.
They dance to the music.
"This is not a masquerade. What do you wear a mask?" After dancing for a while, Lily couldn't help
asking him. Apart from this man, she doesn’t see anyone wearing a mask at the scene.
The man does not speak.
When the light shines here, Lily sees the man's thin lips slightly raise, with a very light smile on his
face, which makes Lily feel more and more familiar.
