Chapter 781 A cocktail party of the political circle

Today's Austos International Hotel was not as bustling as it used to be. After all, it was a party of political circles, not as relaxing and lively as a business party.

Soothing music slowly sounded in the hall. People in suits were whispering to each other with their heads down.

Lucia stood side by side with Edmund. They kept a certain distance from each other. There seemed to be some alienation between them. Lucia held orange juice in her hand. All the people who came to make a toast to Lucia were stopped by Edmund.

A few people standing nearby were quipping with a fawning look and in a socializing manner.

"Usually Edmund never communicates with the opposite sex. I thought he was a workaholic, but I didn't expect his heart to belong to her."

"We all know a thing or two about Ms. Mitchell. It is readily favored by us that you two could be buddies given the outstanding qualities of people in your circles."

"Today, we are lucky to see a joint effort between the commercial circle and the political circle. If Edmund and Ms. Mitchell have any good news, remember to share it with us."

People spoke with the intention of flattering Edmund and even made a direct connection between Edmund and Lucia.

Lucia felt awkward when she heard these words. Lucia raised her glass apologetically and pointed to the rest area not far away. Edmund quickly found an excuse for her and told her to go and have a rest.

After completing the false courtesy with them, Edmund walked over to Lucia, "Please don’t mind it if they have said something that is offensive. We are acquainted with each other. These folks don’t mean any harm."

Lucia nodded slightly and didn’t take over his topic. The displeasure on her face was quite clear, "What I promised Mr. Shea has been done. Mr. Shea could just go and talk with your friends. There is no need to take special care of me."
