At the banquet.
It was buzzing with crowds and drinks. Before it started, the sight was already dazzling.
Stella and Angelina followed behind Bradley, looking very much like those minor actors who came out to see the world for the first timeâalthough they indeed were.
Angelina tugged at Stellaâs dress. âElla, why didnât you wear that dress you bought before?â
She could tell at a glance that the dress on Stella was expensive. It wasnât the one they had chosen before, and she felt a little conflicted.
They had agreed to wear ordinary dresses together, but Stella came wearing an expensive dress. It made her feel uncomfortable.
Stella knew she had misunderstood but didnât know how to explain it.
She couldnât possibly tell her that Weston tore up the dress and made her wear a new one he bought.
âSorry. I ruined mine, so I had to change.â
She was embarrassed. âMy... My family bought this for me.â
She didnât know how to describe her relationship with Weston, so she lied, saying her family bought it.
Angelina didnât think much about it but just stared fixedly at her. âItâs okay. I just think yours looks pretty... The other day, I asked you to try the red one, but you didnât want to. See? Re d dresses look better on you.â
She smiled sincerely, and her eyes were full of admiration.
When Stella got in the car just now, Angelina had noticed her outfit.
The dress perfectly complemented Stellaâs beauty, but at the same time, it didnât feel excessive or over powering.
One glance was all it took, and people wouldnât be able to keep their eyes off her.
Even Bradley was slightly stunned when he saw Stella for the first time.
It was as if he couldnât come to his senses.
After all, he had been in the entertainment industry for so long, and there were countless beauties he h ad met, so he quickly sorted out his emotions.
But Angelina couldnât help it and kept looking at her, thinking that she looked extremely beautiful tonight.
Seeing this, Stella was embarrassed and said, âYou look good too...â
As the two were whispering, Bradley reminded them, âDonât whisper to each other like children. It doesnât look good to others. If you have something to say, say it freely.â
Stella hummed in reply and subconsciously straightened her back.
Angelina also stood up straight and adjusted her posture.
After a while, she couldnât help but whisper in Stellaâs ear, âDo you think weâre embarrassing him?â
Bradley saw her childish movements from the corner of his eye and said nothing. âYou two sit here for a while, and Iâll go say hello to the other investors.â
âOkay...â
Angelina was a little nervous.
She sat on the spot, carefully looking at the celebrities who came and went.
