“Young Master Dylan!” “President Newman!”
As journalists called out to Dylan, he simply waved his hand at them in an elegant manner. On the
other hand, the camera flashes were so bright that I couldn’t open my eyes as I stiffly walked
forward. Luckily, Dylan was holding my hand, otherwise I would have passed out on the spot
.
The short distance to the exhibition center felt long to me. As I entered the center, I breathed a sigh of
relief, let go of Dylan’s hand, and clasped my hands to my chest. “It was so scary!”
“I thought you were ready since you’re dressed so formally. I didn’t expect you to be so nervous.” Dylan
teased as he looked at me.
“I thought it was like going to see a movie – we go in, finish the movie and leave. I wouldn’t have come
if I’d known this was what I was up against.”
My honesty made Dylan laugh. “So you didn’t know anything and just agreed to come.”
“Yes.”
“Well, think before you act next time. If you are still as naive as before, you will be harmed,” he said NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.
with a hidden message.
“Who’s going to harm me when I’m not rich or famous? Rather, you must be careful not to be
harmed. Besides, I’m not a fool. I understand that Camille has her eye on you and she is simply making
use of mine.”
“Since you understand that, why do you still ask me to come?”
“I thought you were going to reject me. If you had rejected the request directly, Camille would not have
continued to pester me.”
“When did I reject your request?” Dylan’s question left me speechless.
Come to think of it, he actually never turned down my requests since he was young.
Seeing that I remained silent, Dylan chuckled. “I was just talking nonsense. Don’t take it seriously. Lets
go in.”
As soon as we walked in, a member of staff walked over and greeted us, “President Newman, this
way.”
After being shown to the front row, Dylan and I sat down. At that moment, another staff member
hospitably shouted from behind, “President Walker, this way, please!”
Turning around, I saw Eric being led by the team member towards us. The moment he saw me, he
fixed me with a strange look that made me uncomfortable.

Fortunately, Dylan saw him and greeted him first. As they chatted with smiles on their faces, they
seemed to be old friends. The sight made me apprehensive because they could be considered
cunning.
Last night, they were still hostile towards each other, but today they could talk to each other with huge
smiles on their faces. I thought I was still too naive to understand that.
As they were still talking, I took a look at the seats and noticed that there were nameplates on
them. When I looked at the seat next to mine and saw that it wasn’t Eric’s name, I breathed a sigh of
relief. Thank God he’s not sitting next to me.
Suddenly, Eric sat down next to me. What he is doing? Just when I was stumped a member of staff
rushed over and changed the nameplate.
Apparently he is the sponsor of this premiere. In that instant, I was speechless.

The fact that Eric was sitting next to me made me uncomfortable. Also, the air conditioning was on full
blast, which made me so cold I shivered uncontrollably. Seeing this, Dylan quickly took off his jacket
and placed it on my body.
Realizing what Dylan had done for me, Eric flashed a playful smile. “President Newman, you are so
thoughtful of Mrs. Hawkins. No wonder the steakhouse owner misunderstood that you two were
married to each other.”
Dylan and I remain silent and ignore his teasing.
Our silence made him a little embarrassed. At this point, a friend of his walked over, which essentially
saved him from embarrassment.
As the seats were filled by guests, the premiere officially began. Firstly, we were welcomed by a
musical performance. After the lights dimmed on stage, the sound of the piano permeated the
venue. Suddenly, a beam of light shone onto the stage and the curtains slowly opened.
What caught our eyes was a white piano and a lady as beautiful as a fairy.
