The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains

Chapter 163 Auctioning Jewelry

The exhibition was finally kicking off.

Thanks to Emily's help, Michael was in a much better mood.

They walked in hand in hand, remembering Mason's orders to put on a good show for everyone.

"I'll stick with you tonight, since this is your scene," Michael whispered in Emily's ear.

Emily felt his warm breath on her skin, making her shiver and her head spin for a moment.

Luckily, Michael pulled her into his arms, gently stroking her back. It was only when someone came up to greet them that Emily started to feel normal again. Emily was puzzled, "Most people here know you, not me. Why are you sticking with me?"

Michael replied, "Everyone's here to see the jewelry designed by Ms. Blair. There's also an auction later, which I don't get. So, of course, I'm sticking with you." "Don't even think about ditching me. I'm your date tonight," Michael emphasized.

Emily found his smug look pretty amusing.

Just as she was about to respond, she saw Veda and Daniel walking in from the entrance.

As soon as Veda saw Emily, she excitedly waved and winked at her, signaling that she had followed her heart and came with Daniel.

Emily said, "It's Veda."

Michael turned around at the sound, his good mood momentarily freezing.
