"He's not here yet. Sit down first. It's time for dinner. Let's order some food."

Kimberly sat down and looked at the clock. It was half-past six right then. There was still one and a half hours to eight o'clock. Was there enough time for her to rush to the banquet? Seeing Kimberly behaving in that way, Vera could not help but ask, "Are you in a hurry? Do you have any matters you need to attend to?"

Kimberly told Vera what had happened just then.

"Why didn't you tell me? I would've let you go if I knew about this. It's okay for me to be here alone."

"There's no point talking about it anymore. I'm here now."

"How could there be no point for us to discuss it? Why don't you change into the gown and go to the banquet now? It would be bad if this affects your relationship with him." Sᴇaʀ*ᴄh the Findɴovel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"It's okay. I've told him that I'll be there later. The banquet will start at eight o'clock. I'll have dinner here until seven o'clock. There's still enough time for me to rush over."

Hearing that, Vera was relieved. She said, "Alright, let's order first. Vice President Yardley said that he will arrive in ten minutes. He asked us to order whatever we want." "Okay," Kimberly nodded and ordered a few dishes. She was not in the mood at all. She was dwelling on her thoughts about Maddox right then and didn't care about anything else at the moment. She could not forget what Maddox had told her before she left.

Ten minutes later, Benedict came. He looked like he had dressed up for the occasion. He was wearing a white suit with a bow tie, and he attracted the attention of many women as soon as he entered the restaurant.

Kimberly and Vera heard the discussion of the women from the next table.

"Who is this man? He's so handsome."

"Stop looking at him. There's no doubt that such a perfect man is already in a relationship. He will not be in a relationship with you no matter how long you stare at him." "Hey, which one of those two women is his girlfriend?"

"It should be the one who looks younger. She looks a little younger and more beautiful."
