Chapter 81
Heartbreak Brings Mr. Right
Paige was a little stunned.
With her head lowered, she first saw an outstretched pair of fair, clean hands, holding out a glass of drink to her.
When she looked up, she saw the sweet smile of a girl who was dressed in a simple yet elegant black dress.
âThank you.
â Paige took over the glass and touched her slightly warm, red face.
Chuckling helplessly, she admitted, âIâm indeed a little drunk.
â
With a knowing smile, Lindsey took out a small pill bottle from her bag and handed it to her.
âI think you may need this.
â
Eyes wide, Paige took it over.
She was even more surprised when she saw what the medicine was.
âHow did you know?â
âI also have allergic rhinitis.
Just now, I noticed you scratching your nose, so I figured you mustâve been allergic to something here.

âYes! I donât know whatâs going on, but ever since I came here, my nose has been itching non-stop!â Paige set aside her usual elegant demeanor and ranted to Lindsey as though the latter was a close friend.
âIf my husband couldâve come here himself, I wouldnât have stayed for so long.
â As she spoke, she once again scratched her slightly red nose subconsciously.
âI usually carry antihistamines with me since I too get random allergy attacks.
You can take one.
Itâs the non-drowsy kind.

Then, Lindsey asked a nearby waiter to bring Paige a glass of warm water.
At this time, unbeknownst to her, Domenic was standing by the balcony of the second floor, watching this whole scene.
He squinted at Lindsey, a gleam of surprise flashing in his deep-set eyes.
Standing next to him, Emilio was also looking at Lindsey with admiration and couldnât help but remark, âI didnât expect that Lindsey would be so capable.
Did you see that? She so easily sparked up a conversation with Director Lopezâs wife!â
âIf she heard her idol praise her Like this, she would be more than happy,â Domenic muttered.
Emilio had no idea what he was talking about.
He looked at his friend in confusion.
âIdol? Me?â
However, the Latter only ruthlessly glared at him.
Emilio averted his gaze awkwardly, wondering how he had offended Domenic this time.
In the banquet hall, Paige looked at Lindsey appreciatively after taking the antihistamine.
âYoung lady, whatâs your name?â
âIâm â¦â
âYou donât have to know her name.
Sheâs just an agentâs assistant!â
Lindsey was abruptly cut off by a harsh, annoying voice from behind.
Shelia then strode forward, making sure to push Lindsey behind her with her shoulder.
Then she stood in front of Paige and introduced herself with a flattering smile.
âNice to meet you, Mrs.
Lopez.
Iâm Jasmine, Vitality Entertainmentâs newest artist.
Itâs so mice to meet you!â
Paige frowned unhappily and shifted her gaze to Lindsey, who was standing behind Shelia.
However, before she could say anything, a pack of female stars that had overheard her name quickly surrounded her.
High-pitched, flattering voices filled the banquet hall.
âMrs.
Lopez, you look like youâre in your 20s.
You have to tell us your beauty secret!â
âYour dress is Armani, isnât it? It looks so gorgeous on you!â
âYour diamond ring has to be at least ten carats, right?â
Paigeâs patience was running thin, but she couldnât help but beam when she heard someone compliment her ring.
She held out her hand, allowing the huge diamond to twinkle under the warm lights.
âThis is what my husband gave me for our 20th anniversary.
I actually scolded him for spending so much money, but he said I needed to live a little.
