Overflowing Hidden Feelings: This CEO Is Hard to Please!
Chapter 279 - 279 Birthday Banquet 4

Chapter 279: Birthday Banquet 4 Chapter 279: Birthday Banquet 4 After Elder Lee finished expressing his gratitude and mentioned his beloved children and grandchildren, the atmosphere was warm and pleasant, which was not surprising.

What was strange, however, was the lack of interaction between Arnold Johnson and Elder Lee. Besides a polite nod, there was no communication between them.

Their encounter was entirely different from their earlier private conversation in the room.

Arnold Johnson appeared calm, just like Elder Lee, as if everything was normal.

The only abnormality, Victoria Garcia felt, was her own thoughts.

Soon, the Birthday Banquet became lively, with the elderly and the young mingling together.

Someone whispered a few words in Arnold Johnson’s ear, and although he remained calm, he told Victoria, “You stay here for a while, and if you feel uncomfortable, I can have Allen take you home.”

Victoria knew Arnold had something to attend to.

It would be impolite to leave as soon as they received their gifts, and as Mrs. Sheng, if she didn’t even have the courage to face this situation, then she didn’t deserve to be called “Arnold Johnson’s woman.”

“You go ahead; I’ll grab some food. If you’re not back by the time I’m done, I’ll look for Allen,” Victoria replied with a smile.

“Alright, just take care of yourself, and don’t be afraid of anything. I’ll be back soon,” Arnold said and left.

Perhaps Elder Lee’s words had an effect on her, as Victoria felt she should trust Arnold. He said he didn’t have a Madam Johnson, so he probably didn’t.

With that thought in mind, she saw the delicious food and suddenly felt hungry.

Victoria grabbed two desserts to eat, and as she was halfway through, a tall figure appeared in front of her, asking, “Are you Victoria Garcia?”

Victoria looked up and saw an extraordinarily handsome face with a devilish charm. His phoenix eyes seemed to be laughing at her, and she couldn’t help but exclaim how attractive this man’s eyes were.

“Yes, what’s the matter?”

“I was just curious to see which woman could have such a beautiful name!”

Pfft! Victoria would have spat out her dessert if she hadn’t controlled herself.

Because she held back, Victoria choked a little, causing her face to turn a shade paler.

A glass of sweet beverage was handed to her just in time, and she hurriedly took a few sips, swallowing the dessert that had been stuck in her throat.

“You’re so beautiful and elegant, yet you eat like a child. Don’t worry, with me around, no one will dare to steal your food,” the man said.

“…”

What kind of nonsense was this? Who was this strange person?

Victoria looked around, and the man said, “Don’t worry, Arnold Johnson is out searching for me right now. He won’t discover that I’m here to lure you away!”

“…”

Why did she feel like her brain short-circuited, unable to understand what this man was saying?

With a serious tone, Victoria asked, “Who are you? Why are you here?”

“Others call me Wavy. Actually, I know it’s because they’re jealous of my good looks, but I agree to be called Wavy just to humor their pitiful envy,” he said with a self-satisfied expression, continuing, “As for why I’m here, didn’t I just say it? I came to lure you away.”
