Save Myself from Desperation by Cara Agnes

Chapter 155

Ashley was stunned for a moment before realizing that this was the surprise Joseph had mentioned earlier,

At that moment, everyone in the crowd, from movie stars to business tycoons and socialites, craned their necks, looking up at the stage.

Valentin, dressed in a well-tailored black suit, walked onto the stage. His white shirt was meticulously buttoned to the top, exuding a restrained yet. sensual vibe.

His gaze casually swept over the crowd. His stunningly handsome face seemed indifferent and distant, radiating a noble and commanding demeanor that only a person of high status could have.

When his eyes landed on a particular spot in the crowd, he suddenly paused and had a carefree smile.

Ashley, sitting right there, suddenly realized Valentin was looking at her.

Though they were just looking at each other across the crowd, Ashley’s heart raced.

This secret eye contact strangely felt like a hidden flirtation, causing her ears to burn uncontrollably.

Ashley quickly looked away, flustered. Once she calmed down, she heard the whole venue erupt into noise, especially the two girls behind her, who were clearly thrilled.

“Ah, Mr. Kingsley is so handsome!!!”

“Did he just look down here? And he smiled, right? Was he looking in our direction?”

“No way! He’s so handsome. I’d love to have sex with him.”

Ashley heard these crude remarks and glanced at Valentin on stage.

She thought he really had the power to attract attention wherever he

went.

Suddenly, Ashley’s arm was grabbed by Miranda, who was sitting next to her.

Miranda excitedly whispered, “Ashley, do you think Mr. Kingsley has a
