Chapter 168
âVicky, over here.â
The manâs voice was deep and melodious, much like the sound of a cello. Instantly, Vicky recognized
that voice. It was Mister Kirby.
Vicky walked to the corner where he satâ¦and he looked rather suspicious.
The light in the room was not very bright. Mister Kirby was leaning on the sofa in a very elegant posture
with a hint of laziness.
Vicky then said, âMister Kir-â
Suddenly, the man reached out and pulled her to his side, much to her shock. Before she could
struggle and protest, his husky voice rang next to her ear. âMiss Shaw, please do me a favor.â
He tried to talk softly and lightly. Although he was very close to her, he still maintained a distance that
would not bring discomfort to Vicky. âCan you pretend to be my girlfriend?â
Vicky realized something was not right. âDid you call me here today at this time just because of this?â
He said in a low voice, âMiss Shaw, do you see those women over there?â
Vicky glanced and noticed a few beautiful women with good temperaments. They did not look like they
were escorts.
âIt was supposed to be a gathering between me and my friends,â explained Mister Kirby, âbut they kept
it from me and brought women over, insisting on finding me a girlfriend.â
After a pause, he continued, âBefore this, they kept on asking me to get a girlfriend, and I tried to avoid
them. So, they did a sneak attack by bringing those women. They insist that I should choose one today.
âI have no interest in those women and told them I have a girlfriend. They kept pestering me, however,
and asked me to show them my girlfriend. Thatâs when you came. They automatically thought you were
my girlfriend when they saw you.â
Vicky was speechless.
He said again, âMiss Shaw, can you please help me? I owe you onceâ¦
Please? Donât worry. I wonât touch you, and I wonât let them trouble you.â
His angular handsome face was not very clear under the dim light.
Vicky was surprised and thought differently of him when he did not use the incident where Vicky broke
his button to threaten her.
Cece was beside Vicky, but she had no idea what was happening. As she did not see Vicky showing
any reluctant expression, she stood quietly.
Suddenly, Mister Kirby noticed she was there, and he curled up his lips into an innocent smile. âHi, are
you Vickyâs friend?â
Cece curiously looked at the man. He was very handsome, though seemingly impish altogether. The
way he spoke and moved suggested he was a gentleman from a prestigious family.
This explained why Vicky was so sure Mister Kirby was not a fake when she questioned her about it.
This man did not look like that kind of person based on the way he talked and moved.
Cece smiled at the man politely. âHello, Mister Kirby. My name is Cece. Iâm Vickyâs assistant and
friend.â
The man showed her a welcome sign. âPlease sit. Since youâre Vickyâs friend, it means youâre my friend
too. My friends are quite rowdy, though. Iâm going to apologize first if youâre uncomfortable being
together with us.â
Cece glanced at the other people in the room. Those men were not bad- looking. They were dressed in
branded attire and looked like playboys, but they were not perverts and did not touch the woman
beside them. Their conversations were not crass, either.
As the saying went, birds of a feather flocked together.
