As the company’s brand endorser and shareholder, not only did Eliza attend the event, but she even invited a few other popular, young male and female celebrities.
The most handsome male celebrity among them wore a wine-colored suit. When his godly, handsome face appeared at the banquet, Mireya’s dejected eyes suddenly lit up excitedly.
“Ahh! Isn’t that my Prince Charming, Peter Maddison?” Mireya tugged on Cate’s dress hard. “You managed to invite him. I’m not dreaming, right?”
“Yes. You’re not dreaming.” Cate quickly yanked her dress, which was wrinkled because of Mireya, back. Then, she smiled and said, “Watch your image. After all, you’re our company’s major shareholder.”
“You should know that I’ve liked Peter for many years now. I want to take a picture with him, but… I’m a little nervous.” Mireya was like a fan. She was very excited.
“Go greet him if you like him. Don’t forget that you’re the host of this banquet.”
Eliza took a glass of red wine from a tray and then raised her glass in Peter’s direction.
After seeing that, Peter walked over with a captivating smile. “Eliza, it’s been a while. This must be Freycatheli’s founder, Miss Mireya Lynch and Miss Cate Cox, right? Sure enough, knowing people by their reputation isn’t as good as meeting them in person.”
“Same goes to you, Mr. Maddison.” Cate grinned. “You’re even more handsome than you are on television. However, I don’t know a lot about the entertainment industry. I got to know you because Mireya likes watching your drama series.”
“I see.” Peter’s smiling gaze settled on Mireya. “It’s my honor.”
Mireya said with a blush, “I like your historical dramas. You look exceptionally good-looking in them. Can I take a picture with you?”
“I’d be honored.”
“I’ll take a picture for you guys.” Cate took her phone and walked to the side, where he took a picture for them enthusiastically. “Stand closer.”
After that, Cate chose a few pictures she took that night and posted them on Instagram with a caption: [A beautiful night.]
In the picture were Eliza, Mireya, Cate, and a few other female celebrities. Another picture was Mireya and Peter standing very close to each other with sweet smiles on their faces.
Since Ryan wanted to make Mireya jealous, Cate did not mind making Ryan jealous too.
“Isn’t that the professional makeup artist, George Kelly? Let’s go and talk to him.” Cate pulled Eliza away lightly and hinted at her with her eyes.
Eliza quickly got the hint and joked to Mireya, “Cate and I are going over to say hi. You can talk to Peter for a while here. Maybe he can introduce our brand to his fans.”
“I’ll try my best.” Stunned, Mireya also spoke jokingly and nodded with a smile.
After Cate and Eliza had walked a distance, Eliza said, “You’re not trying to set up Peter and Mireya together, are you? I admit that Peter is handsome, but men in the entertainment industry are too complicated…”
“Of course not, but perhaps admiring some good looks once in a while will make Mireya’s mood better.” Cate took her phone out as she laughed. Then, she sent a message to her assistant, Hans: [Arrange for Mireya to sit with Peter later and make the live camera zoom in on them more.]
Hans: [Are you trying to market Manager Lynch and Peter as a couple? Does Miss Lynch know about this? Peter’s fans are all very young. They might not be able to accept it…]
Cate: [You’re overthinking it. I’m not making them a couple. Just do as I say.]
…
In a private room, smoke filled the air.
Ryan was listening to a drunk deputy minister nagging about old times.
His head felt uncomfortable from the smoke. After taking a sip of coffee, he took his phone from the table and casually scrolled through his Instagram.
Ryan had started following Cate on Instagram back when Mireya was hospitalized and when Cate was taking care of her.
Usually, he did not pay much attention to Cate.
However, Cate had posted six pictures 20 minutes ago. There was a picture of Mireya and a handsome young man standing close to each other, taking a picture. That night, Mireya was wearing a light pink dress, which accentuated her skin to look as white as snow. When she smiled, her deep-set, mixed-race features made her look bright and exotically charming.
Ryan narrowed his clear eyes.
Mireya was smiling so sweetly with another man. Moreover, he recognized that man.
It was not because he had not met that guy before in the entertainment industry. In fact, I had seen Mireya watching dramas starring the male celebrity when he visited her while she was at home resting some time ago.
He had once watched a drama with her for a short while. He thought the plot was campy, but Mireya said she did not care about the plot. She was only watching the drama because she liked the male lead.
Every woman had the right to adore celebrities. However, it would be troublesome if that behavior extended into their real lives.
Ryan suddenly stood up. “It suddenly struck me that I have some urgent business tonight. I have to go now. I’ll treat everyone to a meal on another day.”
Before waiting for everyone’s reply, he quickly grabbed his jacket and left.
When he went downstairs, he could not drive because he had been drinking. As such, he took a taxi to the banquet.
On the way, he called Mireya several times, but no one picked up.
Ryan had no choice but to enter Freycatheli’s official Facebook account’s live stream. As many top artists were attending the event that night, tens of millions of viewers were watching the live stream.
Freycatheli’s banquet had just started not long ago. Two very popular broadcast station emcees were invited onto the stage to host the event.
A famous female singer was performing when Ryan joined the live stream. The view switched to the audience below the stage from time to time. He quickly spotted Mireya, Eliza, and Cate sitting together in the front row. However, Peter Maddison was sitting on Mireya’s other side. While other people were watching the performance, Mireya and Peter were whispering to each other.
Ryan was not the only one who noticed it. In the comments section of the live stream, many of Peter Maddison’s fans had noticed it too.
[Ahh! I finally saw our Pete. But who’s that beautiful woman beside him? She’s as pretty as a fairy.]
[I saw it too. Pete is smiling so happily, and the fairy is too.]
[Those who can sit in the front row seats must not be ordinary people. Is she a daughter of a wealthy family?]
[Haha. The fairy that all of you are talking about isn’t just any daughter from a wealthy family. She’s the prime minister’s goddaughter, Mireya Lynch.]
[The Mireya Lynch who was abandoned by the Snow family’s eldest young master some time ago? It can’t be. She’s surprisingly beautiful.]
[She’s not just pretty. She’s also the founder of Freycatheli, okay? All of Freycatheli’s products are developed by a team led by Mireya.]
[She’s so gorgeous and capable, yet Eldest Young Master Snow still had an affair. Were his eyes covered in sh*t?]
[Mireya is so elegant. I think she and Pete make a lovely couple.]
[Please, she is a divorcee. No matter how great she is, she doesn’t deserve our Pete.]
[The one above, how great is your Pete? He has only acted in a few dramas. Can his status and achievements compare to Mireya’s? I’m speechless.]
[Although she is a divorcee, she’s pretty and talented. I support her and Pete being together.]
[I support them too. I ship Tera. Peter x Mireya ftw!]
[I’m a Tera fan too.]
…
Looking at the comments that were going increasingly off-topic, Ryan’s handsome face looked as cold as ice. “Mister, can you drive faster? Why haven’t we arrived yet?”
“Young man, there’s traffic in the front.” The middle-aged driver said helplessly, “I think some company is having an event tonight at the hotel you mentioned. Many celebrities are attending, so a lot of girls are heading there. I have already made a few trips there today.]
After speaking, he added, “Oh, look. The traffic in front is stuck again.”
Ryan glanced at the map. There was still a distance of four kilometers to the hotel. “You can stop by the roadside. I’ll rent a bicycle to go there.”
Once he made the payment, he rented a bicycle by the roadside and cycled speedily.
However, when he arrived, his hands were almost numb from the freezing cold wind.
The security outside the hotel was tight, but it was not hard for Ryan to get in.
After making a call, the hotel’s manager personally led him to the banquet hall. The performance on the stage was almost ending. Meanwhile, a group of artists and people from the fashion industry were toasting and chatting below the stage.
Mireya just happened to be sitting together with Peter. As everyone was talking, she and Peter started to converse with each other as well.
“When I was working in the fashion industry overseas, I was acquainted with the head designer of Cartier…”
