The Scent of 115

Chapter 115

There weren’t many people around. Just as Lottie was about to speak, a conversation suddenly drifted over from the side.

“Jorge, are you interested in Trevor’s girlfriend?”

“Interested? Not quite. But she is rather intriguing.”

Celeste and Lottie froze. It was Jorge and his friends.

However, they had their backs turned, and a row of drinks blocked most of their view, so they didn’t notice Celeste and Lottie standing nearby.

“At the auction, I noticed you were also quite taken with that gentle beauty next to Lottie. She’s probably still in the hall–aren’t you going to go say hello?”

Celeste hadn’t expected the conversation to suddenly shift to her.

Before she could react, Lottie arched an eyebrow, already thinking about dragging Celeste over to play matchmaker.

But before she could act, Jorge shook his head, sounding uninterested. “Nah.”

Lottie paused.

“Huh? What’s this? Lost interest all of a sudden?”

“Yeah. She’s pretty, sure. But she seems so quiet and gentle like she has no personality. That just makes her boring.”

“Oh, come on! And you say you’re not into Wynn?”

It was obvious–he had just talked to Wynn and found her even more captivating, making him lose interest in anyone else.

“That’s not it. It’s just-“Jorge hesitated.

His friend laughed. “I get it. Wynn’s your new type now, huh? But that still proves you’re into her, doesn’t it? Hahaha!”

Before Jorge could reply, his friend added, “To be fair, Wynn has that cold, haughty beauty. She’s got that challenge, that edge–she’s way more exciting.”

“Ever since Wynn showed up in our circle, a lot of guys have been into her–some even obsessed. Too bad, though. She belongs to Trevor. Gotta admit, that man’s got an eye for women.”

Lottie’s smile stiffened.

Then, her expression darkened. She wanted to march over and teach those two à lesson, but Celeste stopped her. Celeste shook her head and said calmly, “It’s fine.” Maybe she wasn’t special. Maybe she wasn’t exciting.

But she was herself. She knew who she was, and whether strangers liked her or not wasn’t something that mattered to her.

After finishing their drinks, Jorge and his friends left.

Lottie was still fuming. “I used to think Jorge had great taste and a fun personality, but even he’s fallen for Wynn?

Before Celeste could respond, a sleazy–looking man swaggered over. His puffy, tired eyes roamed over Celeste with an unmistakable leer. “Lottie, is this your friend-”

Before he could finish his sentence, Lottie cut him off coldly. “You? Do you think you have a shot at my friend? What trash. Get lost!”

The man’s expression darkened. “Lottie, you-

Lottie shot him a sharp glare.

The Cruz family wasn’t to be trifled with, and he knew better than to truly provoke her. So, with an ugly expression, he walked away.

Lottie downed a huge gulp of her drink, so angry that her chest ached. “How many disgusting guys have hit on you tonight? And why is it that all the high–quality men only go for Wynn?”

Celeste gently patted her back to help her calm down.

She thought–because Wynn really was outstanding. But before she could say anything, Lottie’s face suddenly turned cold.

Following her gaze, Celeste turned her head and saw Wynn standing not far away. She was holding two cups of

water.

No one knew when she had arrived, but judging by the smirk on her lips, both Celeste and Lottie could tell she had heard Jorge’s conversation.

As they looked at her, Wynn’s smile deepened.

She didn’t say anything. She just shot Celeste a cold, disdainful glance and then turned and walked away with her drinks.
