Chapter 115 Justin asked, âGot any problems? Maybe I can sort them out for youâ
Agnes shook her head, âI donât need your helpâ
Justin said, âAgnes, I didnât bring you here to upset you. Do you want to go to the masquerade ball hosted by Countess Alexander in the banquet hall today?â
Agnes replied grumpily, âYou go, I donât want toâ
Despite her reluctance, Justin was determined to take Agnes He opened Agnesâs suitcase, but not a single dress was found, not even a pair of high heels.
Justin looked at Agnes, puzzled. âHow come you donât have a single dress?â
Justin frowned, deep in thought, then said, âWait here, I know someone who can lend you a dress.â
Before Agnes could react, Justin had already left the room.
Not long after, Justin came back with a short black dress and a pair of white, crystal high heels.
Agnes asked, âWhere did you get these clothes?â
Justin replied, âYou donât need to know where I got them. Try them on, they should fit you just fine.â
Although Agnes didnât want to go to the ball, she put on the dress and heels under Justinâs insistence.
When Justin saw Agnes appear, his eyes lit up. âYou look really pretty today. Itâd be even better if you put on some makeup.â
Agnes replied, âItâs a masquerade, everyoneâs wearing masks, I donât need makeup.â
Justin laughed and said, âYouâre beautiful without it, never mind if you donât want to.â
The ball was held at the hotelâs rooftop hall, where Countess Alexandra invited all the VIPs.
Agnes chose a black mask that almost completely covered her face.
Justin chose a prince mask and put it on as soon as he got in. Although Agnes was not wellâknown, Justin was wellâknown.
Sheâd heard thereâd be a lot of journalists at the ball, so she decided to be cautious.
The hall was bustling with guests sipping their drinks and laughter filled the air Agnes spotted Mamie in a white gown studded with sparkling diamonds, her makeup was exquisite, she looked like the Snow Queen from a fairy tale.
She didnât wear a mask, just like Justin, simply holding it casually in her hand.
And the man standing next to her, chatting with her....
That was Jared!
Agnesâs heart was racing, she was frustrated.
But when she saw Jaredâs face, Agnesâs heartbeat suddenly calmed down.
Her mood sank like a stone.
So, Jared was on a business trip, but he was actually on a vacation with Mamie...
