She had changed her job, and there was no longer any connection with that man, but still, as a humble makeup assistant, she finds herself at this upscale Futuren Hotel – a place she can’t ever seem to forget.
“Long time no see.” Rosanne Nichols, seeing Baron Stuart walk in, couldn’t help but move forward and greet him with a smile.
Baron Stuart looked up and saw the woman standing before him, his expression was calm, but the coldness he used to carry was gone.
“Congratulations.” He spoke quietly, neither warm nor cold, his mind flickering back to their university years of youth and romance.
Rosanne looked at him, a bittersweet smile lifting the corner of her mouth.
“Best wishes to you too.”
When he got engaged, she hadn’t received an invitation from the Stuart family, and so, she couldn’t be there to bless him. Now, she couldn’t help but wonder if that was a regret.
Baron Stuart’s deep gaze was fixed on the woman in front of him. She was truly beautiful. During their university years, he had fallen for her beauty.
But before their relationship could blossom, her family background had been met with utter disapproval from Grandpa Zachary, and they had lost contact for many years since, only occasionally running into each other at public events.
Baron Stuart was not here to attend her wedding or to wish her well. He was here simply because the wedding was held at Futuren Hotel, and as a result he received an invitation from the groom’s parents.
Just as the two were talking, Antonio Bailey walked in.
She was a good friend of Rosanne Nichols and naturally knew of Baron Stuart.
After all, during their university years, they both were touted as the perfect couple.
“Vivian, you’re here. This is Baron Stuart, you…” Remembering their past from university, Rosanne hesitated for a moment. “You should know him.”
Antonio Bailey smiled calmly. Although Rosanne had faced opposition from the Stuart family during their university years, and despite the heartbreak that
came with it, she had gotten over it. After all this time, Rosanne had found her
happiness, and those old memories didn’t weigh her down anymore.
Perhaps it was the imposing and dignified aura of the man before her that left her unable to pluck up the courage to even shake his hand. She just nodded and said, “Hello,” with a smile.
Rosanne Nichols turned her head and smiled at Baron Stuart, “This is my best friend in college, Antonio Bailey.”
Although Baron Stuart wasn’t very familiar with Antonio Bailey, he seemed to vaguely remember her always being around Rosanne on campus, and that they were quite close.
On the basis of his deep, mysterious gaze, Baron Stuart merely glanced at Antonio Bailey but did not say a word, only nodding curtly.
“Speaking of which, where’s your assistant?” In the absence of Emily Walker, Rosanne Nichols asked in surprise.
Only after being questioned did Antonio Bailey suddenly remember the existence of Emily Walker!
“Oh!” She began to look around anxiously, but being of short stature, she couldn’t see much.
She was so busy catching up with her classmates that she had completely forgotten about Emily Walker. With a hotel this big, it would be disastrous if she lost her. Adrian Nash, her boss, would surely be livid!
Just when she was lost in her thoughts, a voice that was both sexy and magnetic suddenly echoed in her ears.
“Long time no see, young lord.” Adrian Nash walked up with a tall glass in his hand. His thin lips lifted into a perfect curve and his shining eyes were fixed on Baron Stuart, laden with hidden meanings.
Baron Stuart lifted his gaze at the sound of Adrian’s voice, looking at him. For some reason, in his mind, the ordinary but clear face of Emily Walker flashed before him..
