The man was handsome, but the corners of his eyes were a little mischievous.
Then, glancing at Cecilia, he smiled and asked, âWhereâd you find this little girl? Sheâs gorgeous!â
Mark slowly puffed out a smoke ring and answered briefly, âA junior.
â
The man rolled his eyes.
Obviously, he didnât believe Mark.
No one would.
After all, all the women these men brought were their lovers.
Although Mark wasnât married, he had several girlfriends.
That morning, Flora had called Mark to subtly inquire about Cecilia.
The man couldnât help but talked to Cecilia a little flirtatiously.
Mark then said, âIâm not lying.
Sheâs the daughter of the Fowler family; that is, Waylen Fowlerâs little sister.
â
All the men present were dumbfounded.
Waylen? Atty.
Waylen Fowler?
Why would Mark bring her here?
Mark claimed to be Ceciliaâs senior.
He touched Ceciliaâs head dotingly and explained, âQuit talking nonsense.
She wants to expand her horizons, so I brought her here.
â
Then he introduced the man to Cecilia.
âCecilia, this is Charlie Jones.
â
At this time, a pretty woman strutted over.
She was very young, probably no older than Cecilia.
She leaned against Charlieâs arm intimately.
Cecilia didnât know the truth about their relationship, so she greeted them sweetly.
âNice to meet you, Mr.
and Mrs.
Jones.
â
Surprised, the woman burst into laughter.
Everyone in the room followed suit, laughing good-naturedly.
The men all wondered where Mark found such an innocent girl.
The women were laughing on the surface, but deep down, they were touched.
How many people nowadays were as simple and naive as Cecilia?
