Chapter 272
Ashley looked up to see Percival, dressed in a black suit, standing beside a table laden with pastries. He was seemingly looking for something.
His tall stature, combined with his broad shoulders and narrow waist, was accentuated by the casual way he had his hand in his pocket. The half of his handsome face that was visible to her was uncharacteristically soft and had a hint of a smile. She wondered what he might be thinking.
Despite his unusually gentle demeanor right now, Ashley didn’t dare approach him
She remembered how Percival had humiliated Calista earlier. She also saw how Calista, upon entering the banquet hall, would occasionally glance Percival’s way without daning to strike up a conversation.
This man was cold to all women except Vivienne. She was certain that the reason he had a soft smile on his face right now was because he was thinking about Vivienne
She was right. Percival was indeed thinking about Vivienne
He was surveying the pastries on the table and found a piece of strawberry cake in the middle. Just as he was about to reach for it, another slender hand reached out and grabbed the plate. With one hand on each side of the plate, they both paused.
Percival looked up to find Aaron Miller, the handsome son of the Miller family’s patriarch, Mark. Under normal circumstances, he wouldn’t pay much attention to such a newcomer to the Rivenwood social circle
However, he had heard his cousin, Kenneth, talk about Aaron many times, and that had led him to remember the young man.
There was no way he could forget Kenneth and Aaron were both renowned E–sports players. They were both known as prodigal sons of the gaming world After Aaron turned pro at the age of fifteen, his team, under the guidance of a mysterious coach, won seven championships in a row, with Aaron himself being named the Most Valuable Player in each tournament.
In contrast, Kenneth, who also turned pro the same year, spent a year warming the bench before he became a starting player. Although his team eventually won two championships and he was named MVP twice, the compansons between him and Aaron never ceased, especially since Aaron’s team had a better record despite a string of defeats this season
People often said that Aaron was too loyal. He refused to transfer teams and was being held back by older players whose gaming skills were on the decline. If he were to join a better team, he could surely win another championship.
This was why Kenneth held a grudge against Aaron and would occasionally complain to Percival about him.
“It’s for my fiancee. She likes it Percival calmly told Aaron, not letting go of the plate.
