Finally, it was the day of the Hartman Group’s cocktail party. Doris had been busy all day since the morning.

Hartman Group had rented out the entire Hampstone Hotel for the event, which was scheduled for 6 PM.

For this event, Lewis had hired a professional security company to handle the activities inside, not using the hotel’s staff and not allowing any media or reporters inside.

All attendees were required to surrender all electronic devices.

To ensure Doris didn’t discover his true identity, Lewis had taken extra precautions, going to great lengths to cover his tracks.

Hampstone Hotel was also placing great importance on this event. The departments had started preparing early in the morning, striving for perfection with no room for error.

Doris had just finished the part of the desserts she was in charge of and sat down to rest when Leon arrived.

“Doris, Joan has a fever. You need to take her place and welcome guests at the hotel entrance,” Leon announced her new task in front of everyone.

Doris knew Leon was deliberately picking on her, as she hadn’t listened to him earlier, and now he wanted to punish her.

“Okay.” Doris didn’t dare show any sign of displeasure.

She changed into a bright red dress, with dark floral patterns, a fitted cut, a slender waist, and an elegant figure.

Her long hair was styled into an updo with a beaded hairpin, revealing her pale, graceful neck. She looked like a classical beauty straight out of a painting, with a smile that could captivate anyone.

As dusk fell, guests continued to arrive.

Doris’s outfit stood out like a blooming flower in the dark night, naturally attracting attention at the entrance.

As soon as Ryan got out of the car, he was drawn to Doris’s presence.

Leia followed his gaze and, upon seeing Doris, her expression changed to one of displeasure. Jealousy grew in her heart like a wild vine.

“Ryan, I dressed up today. Do you think I look pretty?” Leia tugged at him, trying to get him to look at her.

“Sure,” he replied.

“So who looks better, me or Doris?”

“Of course, you look better,” said Ryan.

Upon hearing that, Leia smiled with satisfaction.

He bent his arm, and–Leia took the opportunity to hook her arm with his. Together, they walked in.

Ryan wore a wine–red suit with a black shirt, tall and handsome.

His fiancee, Leia, wore a strapless gown in the same color, shimmering with jewels, radiant and charming.

He walked a few steps and then stopped in front of Doris, sizing her up from head to toe.

The dress suited her well. Her eyes were clear and bright, her lips a rosy red, with a captivating charm that was both innocent and seductive.

“So you’ve become the greeter now?” Ryan asked with a light laugh.

Doris just smiled faintly, “I’m an employee of the hotel. I’ll be wherever they need me.”
