Long Time, My Baby

Chapter 11 Dinner Party

On the afternoon of the second day, Charlie sent someone to pick up Leah. The dinner party began at seven o'clock. Naturally, she had to dress up in the afternoon.

At a high-end modeling club in Wilson City, Jacob, the top stylist in the country, was doing makeup for Leah.

"Miss Leah, you are very beautiful. If you dress up a little, you will definitely be the most beautiful." Jacob looked at the innocent face. Even though he had seen so many beautiful women, she was definitely the most beautiful woman he had ever seen.

"Mr. Jacob, you must be kidding. Every woman can be the most beautiful under your makeup brush, right?" Leah smiled.

"Don't praise me like that. I will be proud." Jacob narrowed his eyes and smiled.

She had to admit that Jacob was very beautiful and had a good figure, especially his slanted eyes, long and charming, blue eyes and a little Western facial features. But at first glance, he was definitely an oriental handsome man.

Seeing that Leah was staring at his face in confusion, Jacob smiled and explained, "I'm of mixed-blood. My mother is French and my father is Chinese."

"No wonder you are so beautiful. Are people of mixed blood so beautiful?" Leah looked at herself in the mirror. This man was more beautiful than her.

"No, it's me. I'm pretty. Oh, no, I'm handsome. We don't use beautiful to describe a man." Jacob glanced at Leah and continued to choose the eye shadow with his head down.

Jacob was outgoing. Though it was a lot of time, Jacob kept talking and laughing with her, which didn't bother her at all.

At six o'clock in the evening, the sun hadn't set yet. The evening glow shone brightly on the city, making it more eye-catching.

"Well, Leah, what do you think about it?" Jacob was satisfied with his masterpiece, but this woman was really beautiful. He narrowed his eyes.

Leah looked at herself in the mirror. She was wearing a light blue strapless dress, which made her taller. Her long hair was rolled up by a diamond hairpin, and a few strands of hair were randomly scattered on both sides. The earrings and necklace were a set, and the earrings and necklace's Pendant were dark blue gems in the shape of tears.

Her skin looked particularly fair when she was dressed properly.

Jacob walked up to Leah, bent over and whispered in her ear, "Leah, let me chase you, okay?"

Leah's body stiffened and her face flushed. "Mr. Jacob, I'm going to be engaged."

Jacob stood up and said, "Mr. Charlie? Leah, if he doesn't treat you well, remember to come to me. I'll wait for you. "

Leah said unhappily, "We just knew each other for an afternoon. Mr. Jacob, you said that casually."

"Don't get me wrong..." Jacob was about to explain, but was interrupted by a figure coming in from the door.

"Have you finished your makeup?" Charlie came in and saw Leah. A glimmer of amazement flashed through his eyes.

"Mr. Charlie, are you satisfied?" Jacob stepped forward.

"Well, the dinner party is about to begin. Let's go." Charlie glanced at Jacob and then turned to look at Leah.

"Okay."

In the car, Leah sat next to Charlie expressionlessly. A hint of anger flashed through his heart. Did this woman take him as air?

"Hold my arm and come in later. Just keep smiling. Don't be nervous." Charlie put down his phone.

"Okay." Leah said calmly.

In fact, her heart had already been stormy. How could they forget each other so easily after they had been together for two years? But at this point, what else could she do?

Lena came back, but the Ye clan didn't mention anything about her. Wasn't they afraid that she, an illegitimate daughter, would make them lose face? Well, it seems that tonight is a wonderful night.

In order to welcome Lena, the Ye clan held a grand dinner. All the famous people were invited, and the major media had already been prepared at the door.

Forty minutes later, Charlie and Leah arrived at the Ye family's house. They got off the car and Charlie gestured for Leah to hold his arm.

Leah took a deep breath and put on a charming smile. Then she held Charlie's arm and entered the house.

When the media saw Charlie, they swarmed to him and asked, "Mr. Charlie, is the lady next to you your future wife?"

"What do you think?"

"Then who is this lady?" The reporter didn't give up.

Hearing this question, Leah's heart tightened and her hand tightened.

"Do I need to tell you my fiancee's family?" Charlie sensed the nervousness of Leah.

Leah was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly, with a trace of sadness in her eyes. It was indeed not appropriate to speak out her identity.

"Here comes Mr. Charlie." Bruce Ye was the head of Ye family and the chairman of Ye group. As soon as he saw Charlie, he immediately welcomed him. the Glory Group had developed very fast in the past few years, and it was indistinctly suppressing the trend of Ye group. It would be a good thing if they cooperated with him.

"Mr. Bruce." Charlie held Bruce Ye's hand.

Leah sneered at her father who she hadn't seen for years and tried his best to flatter Charlie.

"Who is this?" When Bruce Ye saw Leah beside Charlie, his eyes turned cold. Why was she here? But he still kept smiling.

"This is my fiancee, Leah Ye." Charlie introduced.

"Miss Leah, you are so lucky." Bruce looked at Leah with a fake smile.

"Thank you. Your daughter is so lucky to have a good father like you." Leah smiled and said in a sarcastic tone that only the two of them could understand.

Bruce looked at Leah coldly, as a sign of warning.

Leah still smiled and looked back at him.NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.

"Mr. Lucian is here." Someone shouted and everyone looked at the door.

Leah looked at the door and saw a tall and straight figure coming in. The black suit seemed to be tailor- made for Lucian. The dark blue tie looked noble and elegant, and the delicate and indifferent face showed a kind of coldness that no one could enter, with a sense of emperor's disdain, calm and domineering.

Her boss was more handsome.

'What's wrong with me?' Leah cursed herself in her mind.

Lucian didn't want to come, but she thought she would see Leah, so she made up his mind and decided to come.

Seeing that Leah and Charlie were standing side by side arm in arm, Lucian frowned slightly. It was supposed to be a formulaic action, but why was it so dazzling.

"Mr. Lucian." Charlie walked up to Lucian and looked at him with a smile.

"Mr. Charlie." Not to be outdone, Lucian looked at Charlie and glanced at Leah next to him.

The confrontation between the men suddenly rose.

Noticing Lucian's gaze, Leah felt a little embarrassed and wanted to escape.

"Mr. Lucian, Mr. Charlie, let's talk here." Bruce sensed that something was wrong and tried to mediate.

Lucian came back this year and was going to expand his business. Although he only had Caspar Manor in Wilson City, this hotel could not be underestimated. For so many years, this hotel had unshakable status, not to mention that he had a MZ behind him.

If these two people became friends, the Ye group would be turned upside down. Bruce calculated.

At seven o'clock, Bruce walked to the front, next to him stood Lena Ye. Her beautiful appearance and noble identity instantly attracted the attention of many men.

"It's my great honor today. I'm glad that you all come here to welcome me. I'm very grateful. Now, the party begins."

"I'm sorry to bother you. If I didn't take good care of you, just let me know." Lena said gently as if she was a lady from a rich family.

"Thank you. Miss Leah is so young and beautiful. I heard that you are a top student of Columbia University. Mr. Bruce, you are so lucky." A estate tycoon flattered.

"Your son is a rising star in business. You are also lucky." Bruce was flattered by a group of people.

The music began. After Bruce and Lena started to dance, everyone stepped into the dancing floor. Since Leah couldn't dance, Charlie didn't make things difficult for her.

Bruce took Lena to meet Charlie] and Lucian. Charlie had a dance with Lena. But looking at the indifferent Lucian, a strong desire to conquer rose in Lena's heart.

Lena was not stupid. It was impossible to get close to him at the banquet tonight. There was a long time ahead.

They talked about business while dancing.

Leah was not in the mood to listen to a group of men's business conversations. She told Charlie and then went to rest and eat something.

Sitting on the sofa, Leah looked around this familiar and strange home. Except greeting Charlie, Lena didn't look at her the whole night.

She was so calm. When she was a child, she was always against her. She was so rational when she came back from abroad.
