Chapter 939

“You can do whatever you want in front of me. There’s no need to apologize. You almost fell because you were being too nervous.”

Spencer gave her a gentle look. “You’re still young, and it’s natural for you to meet some jerks in life.

Since Mr. Shaw is already engaged, you did the right thing by drawing the line. It was a brave decision on your part.”

Cassandra’s pupils constricted as she looked at Spencer in disbelief. The latter subsequently tucked her hair behind her ear with an affectionate look in his eyes. “As long as you need me, I’m happy to be your servant.”

Cassandra’s moistened eyes sparkled in surprise. Despite the simplicity of the comment, the way Spencer said it gave it a domineering yet caring vibe.

The strange combination somehow made her heart skip a beat.

“N-No, it’s fine.”

As Spencer continued to stare at her, Cassandra couldn’t help but blush. “Why are you looking at me like that?”

“You look adorable.” Spencer enunciated every word.

“That’s so cheesy!” Brows knitted, Cassandra pushed Spencer aside before walking toward the auction venue. Nonetheless, her ears were already burning red.

Just as Cassandra arrived at the entrance, the elevator doors beside her opened and out came a well-

heeled-middle-aged couple.

“Spencer? Is that you?”

When the coupled called out to Spencer in a trembling voice, Cassandra turned around by reflex.

She then saw how the well-dressed couple’s eyes lit up in surprise at the sight of Spencer. She could tell from the shock and longing in their eyes that they hadn’t seen him in a long time.

The middle-aged lady hurried up to Spencer’s side. “Spencer, how have you been? W-When will you come home?”

Before her hand could make contact with Spencer, the latter avoided it and replied indifferently, “I’m sorry, Mrs. White. I’m busy.”

With that, he grabbed Cassandra’s arm and headed inside.

Cassandra was baffled by the turn of events.

If I recall correctly, isn’t that Mr. and Mrs. White?

The White family of Jadeborough was so influential that the prominent families in Lake City paled in comparison.

Staring at Spencer’s leaving silhouette, Mavis suggested to Christian White in resignation, “Darling, let’s go in too.”

The latter let out a sigh. “It seems Spencer isn’t ready to accept me yet.”

“He will… with time.” Just as Mavis spoke, she walked toward the venue with Christian.

As the auction was about to begin, most of the guests were already seated.

Dressed in a gown with a long train, Hera emerged with a microphone in hand as she smiled cordially at everyone present.

After making her way onto the auction stage, she threw the cards in her hand a glance before looking back up at the crowd below.

The moment she saw Ashlyn and Lucas seated together, the smile on her face froze awkwardly while her gaze subconsciously fell upon Ashlyn.

Jolted by a sense of hostility, Ashlyn looked up to be greeted by the sight of Hera standing on stage.

However, the latter quickly hid her emotions and maintained the elegant smile she was wearing. “I’m honored to be your host tonight for the charity auction. And now, let me introduce you to some of our distinguished guests. We have Lucas Nolan of Nolan Group, Old Mr. Laith of Magnecal Tech, award-

winning actor, Jason Harris, Dixon Haddock of Haddock Group, Richard Shaw of Glorious Group, Winsor Jaquin of Jaquin Group……”

As Hera was a member of the Chapman family, she frequented many of such events.

As a result, she didn’t feel nervous despite it being her first time as a host.

Speaking confidently and enunciating every word clearly, she was doing a great job so far.

Subsequently, she explained the auction process before allowing her assistant to introduce all the items on the block.
