Chapter 162

“That dude in the white suit, he’s twenty–six. Not a bad figure, but his face? Meh. He might look good in a mask, but those tiny eyes of his are hideous“”

“The one in the blue suit, not a good catch. His family favors boys over girls. He has five sisters, any girl who marries into that family would be under pressure to have a son.”

“Did you see the plump, short guy? He’s been divorced lour times!”

Stella was well–versed in the lives of these rich kids. She often worked with them, so even with masks on, she could tell who’s who.

We’re lucked away in a corner, chirping excitedly about the men in the room, while waiting for Zora to show up.

After the ball began, people came to invite Stella and me to dance. We half–heartedly obliged, then made excuses to sit back down, refusing to get up for anyone else

Suddenly, a commotion arose in the crowd. Alicia quickly got up to see. “Rena, I bet the VIP has arrived.”

This felt more like a queen choosing her consort than finding a business partner!

The crowd blocked my view I couldn’t see the queen, so I casually sipped my drink, enjoying the tranquility amidst the noise.

Alicia was more curious, she disappeared into the crowd to get a glimpse of Zora.

She returned after a while, looking disappointed. “She’s covered up well, I could barely see her.”

“Why so curious? You’re not a guy,” I teased, “Are you planning to use your charm to boost the company’s performance?”

“Ugh, do I look like that kind of person?” Alicia denied immediately.

I laughed, scanning the crowd. A woman appeared, shining like a star.

She wore a black feather mask, her eyes the only visible feature.
