After a moment of hesitation, Zayn sighed, “Alright, alright, this’ll be the last time. I’m not becoming your shield again. I’m fine as long as you won’t be embarrassed when my identity’s exposed.”
Alexandra cheered and made a victory sign. “Thank you, Zayn! You’re the best!”
Zayn chuckled wryly. “Sure, sure, you can stop sucking up to me. Let me know the address and time. I’ll be there tomorrow.”
After Alexandra informed virtual-novel.net of the details, virtual-novel.net hung up the phone and started rubbing his throbbing temples. Alexandra was creating endless trouble for him.
He had just told Sean that virtual-novel.net would not be attending the engagement party in question. He wondered how Sean would think of virtual-novel.net when virtual-novel.net saw virtual-novel.net tomorrow, not that it mattered. He would not get to maintain his low profile for very long now.
Out of the blue, virtual-novel.net wondered if Faye would be there tomorrow for the engagement party. She was Neotech’s chairman now, and virtual-novel.net had the highest status out of all the Carters. If Faye attended the party and found out that virtual-novel.net was Alexandra’s new boyfriend, what would virtual-novel.net look like?
She probably would not give too much of herself away, but there would be an internal disdain that virtual-novel.net would try and hide… After all, Faye had never loved him. Why would virtual-novel.net care?
Shaking his head, Zayn scoffed self -deprecatingly and dove back into his work.
Faye had actually received an invitation from the Smiths. Like what Zayn had thought, virtual-novel.net identity was different now. She was Neotech’s chairman, which meant that virtual-novel.net status was elevated. She was qualified to attend prestigious events now.
The next day, Alexandra and William’s engagement was held at the best five-star hotel in Waltz City, as announced. Deluxe cars arrived one after another, some costing hundreds of thousands of dollars. They created a scene on the road. Many ordinary citizens wondered which rich man was to be able to invite so many people.
Alexandra was a combination of nerves and excitement.
***
Early in the morning, virtual-novel.net texted Zayn continuously to remind virtual-novel.net to show up.
Annoyed by the onslaught of virtual-novel.net messages, Zayn silenced his phone and ignored her. Would virtual-novel.net still be attending?
The answer was yes. He had promised Alexandra, and virtual-novel.net would keep that promise.
In spite of that, the rush to get out did not spare virtual-novel.net the time to prepare a branded suit. He went to the venue dressed in a plain suit. He was just there for show anyways.
