Chapter 19 The Audience’s Focus
A woman, followed by the hotel staff and two hotel directors, walked in.
As she entered the room, she attracted everyone’s attention.
The woman looked around with her gaze sharp as knives.
Everyone fell silent and even the singer had no voice suddenly.
The charm of the woman who just barged in stunned everyone in the room.
She was so dazzling.
It was as if she had deliberately come to show off.
Reidon, who was on the sofa, looked at her.
He was stunned with his mouth open widely. He did not know what to say, because this person was Nyx.
Her style of clothing had completely changed and her golden long hair was neatly combed. She wore a dark purple suit, a white silk shirt, purple stockings, and a full set of custom-made jewelry with gold and amethyst. She was now ten centimeters taller than usual. Everyone present had a feeling of oppression.
“Hello, everyone!” Nyx greeted everyone with a smile.
“Welcome to our hotel. We have a raffle today. Congratulations! You all won the raffle! All your expenses tonight will be covered by the hotel. I wish you have a good time!”
Won the raffle?
At first, some classmates didn’t believe it and they thought that they had heard it wrong.
After getting confirmation, everyone in the room immediately started cheering.
The sound of shouting, screaming and hugging filled the entire room.
Among the crowd, only two people were relatively quiet.
One was Reidon, and the other was Doreen.
Reidon was feeling embarrassed.
He had never thought that Nyx would work at this hotel.
Doreen acted calm because of her personality.
At this time, Reidon was holding an empty fruit plate to hide his face.
He felt extremely awkward. If Nyx recognized him, he thought that he would be blamed in front of his classmates.
She wouldn’t forget what happened in the bathroom.
Suddenly, the room fell into silence.
He heard the sound of high heels clicking on the ground as if someone was approaching him.
Suddenly, the plate in Reidon’s hand was pulled away.
Reidon was surprised. He had a bad feeling about it.
When he looked up, Nyx was staring at him with a slight smile.
That smile made him shudder.
He didn’t hide himself well. He was finally found by Nyx.
Reidon sighed in his spirit and then gave Nyx a light smile back.
However, it looked like a wry smile.
“What… What a coincidence…”
In the face of Reidon’s sudden greeting, Nyx also smiled and agreed,
“Yeah, what a coincidence.”
Only Nyx knew that this hotel was heavily monitored. There were 3,000 agents placed inside and outside.
The rest of the people were dumbstruck. A look of disbelief appeared in their eyes.
They had never expected that Reidon would actually know this breathtakingly beautiful woman.
It seemed like an illusion.
No one dared to underestimate him.
Actually, they said the words before for mocking him.
Doreen, who was sitting at the far end, also had a complicated look in her eyes.
“By the way, why are you here?” Reidon asked.
“My family owns this hotel. Why shouldn’t I be here?”
Reidon was very surprised. He did not expect that Nyx was also born in a rich family.
This hotel was worth at least tens of millions of dollars.
“Then you …”
If so, there was no reason for her to share the apartment with him.
“Okay, stop. After you go back tonight, you’d better explain everything that happened before!”
After saying that, Nyx left.
The waiters closely followed behind her.
The surroundings were quiet. No one spoke a word.
Reidon looked around in confusion.
They were all staring at him with a strange look.
He stood up as if he wanted to explain something.
But he didn’t know how to explain.
Before Reidon could speak, the other men said at the same time.
“Damn! You even know the heiress of this hotel!”
At this moment, Mouse who was welcoming other students outside, also walked in.
He still did not understand what had just happened,
“What’s wrong? Why are you shouting?”
Some classmates told Mouse what had just happened with exaggeration.
Instantly, Mouse was frozen. After a while, he patted Reidon’s shoulder, “You deserve it! You are amazing!”
After Reidon heard that, he did not know what they had misunderstood. He just explained, “You’re mistaken. We’re just normal friends.”
Although he tried his best to explain, no one listened to his explanation.
Reidon heard what they said.
“What a joke! From the woman’s words, it’s clear that they’re living together.”
“Their relationship isn’t normal definitely.”
After discussing the situation in hushed whispers, they sang and chatted again.
At this moment, Mouse sat beside Reidon and began to pour him wine.
“Does your beautiful girlfriend have any other good friends that you can introduce to me?”
“No.”
Everyone was very easygoing. It felt just like old times.
At this moment, Doreen who was sitting at the corner no longer sat there. Instead, she walked to Reidon.
Mouse and the other people sitting around him knew what they should do. They gave up their seats to Doreen.
When they were in high school, Reidon and Doreen were considered as a fabulous couple. But then they broke up.
It also made the others feel pity.
Reidon had dropped out of school because of Doreen.
But now, they had long been separated.
“Congratulations, you’ve found a better person.”
Doreen raised her glass and gave Reidon a toast.
Reidon looked at Doreen. His heart felt heavy as if there were thousands of needles piercing it.
He didn’t know what kind of mood she had when she said the words.
There were many things that Reidon didn’t want to think about.
“No, she isn’t my girlfriend… You’ve misunderstood.”
Reidon felt a heartache, but he could not lie.
In that year, Doreen decided to leave him just for money, for an old man who was thirty-four years older than her.
Even now, Reidon still did not want to believe it.
