Ye Ruge and Huo Yanxi had already gotten into the car back to the hotel. Ronald and Moses stood by the car and waved to them.
Seeing that the car was about to leave, Moses approached the car window and said to Ye Ruge: "Miss Ye, we will see you tonight. I will wait for you at the dinner."
Ye Ruge saw that he looked very reluctant to let her go, and felt very stressed. The evening banquet was only four hours away, why should he be like this?
"Okay, thank you." She couldn't lose her etiquette.
Huo Yanxi gave them a cold look and ordered the driver in a deep voice: "Drive."
The car started, and Moses caught up a few steps reluctantly: "Miss Ye, I'll wait for you..."
Ye Ruge could only smile at him and wave goodbye.
After the car drove some distance away from Moses and the others, she turned back and exhaled.
She couldn't help but wonder, was this Moses interested in her?
It doesn't make sense, today is the first time they meet, they won't fall in love at first sight, right?
She was depressed when she suddenly felt a pressure beside her. She turned her eyes and met Huo Yanxi's reserved and cold black eyes. He looked at her in a strange way.
"Why do you look at me like this?" she asked confused.
Huo Yanxi's thin lips curled up coldly and she smiled mockingly: "Why didn't I know Mrs. Huo was so popular before?"
The look in his eyes was really uncomfortable, so she replied calmly: "Mr. Huo is also very popular with women." She couldn't count the number of women who had affairs with him.
Huo Yanxi's eyes darkened when he heard this, and he warned coldly: "You'd better not forget your identity!"
Ye Ruge glanced at Junmo's man and wanted to say that she had not forgotten that she was a little assistant.
Just seeing his cold look, she thought for a while and decided not to say anything. She didn't want to cause any displeasure.
She thought that this time on a business trip, they would be more harmonious and less nervous, but she didn't expect that she was overthinking it.
The kiss he had on the plane yesterday and the beautiful atmosphere they had at dinner last night were all illusions.
The two returned to the hotel suite not very happily.
Huo Yanxi still had work to deal with, so he went directly to the study.
He had no other instructions, so she went back to her room to take a shower and rest.
Later, the waiter brought an evening dress, saying that Mr. Moses had prepared it for Ye Ruge and hoped that she would wear it to attend the dinner tonight.
Ye Ruge opened the box containing the dress, and inside lay a deep ocean blue dress. The tail of the dress was dotted with diamonds. You can imagine that every step you take wearing it feels like you are walking by starlight.
"Isn't this so beautiful?" She couldn't help but sigh, was Moses too generous?
"It's so ugly, but I don't know what your aesthetics are?"
A sarcastic male voice suddenly sounded behind her.
She didn't need to look back to know who it was, but she still glanced at him sideways: "What's wrong with my aesthetics? I just think this dress is beautiful."
"This color is not suitable for you, and the broken diamonds look very cheap. I advise you not to wear them." He made a rude judgment, and finally looked at her and said: "Oh, by the way.
I forgot to tell you that you don't need to accompany me to the dinner tonight. You have a good rest in the hotel, so you don't need to wear this dress."
Ye Ruge was very surprised when she heard this: "But... Mr. Ronald invited all of us, why can't I go?" She was a little suspicious of his intentions.
Huo Yanxi's face was cold and serious: "You are my assistant. Of course it is up to me whether I want you to attend or not."
She looked into his eyes and really suspected that he had selfish motives.
She glanced at the dress in front of her. Could it be that Moses was too enthusiastic about her and he couldn't stand it?
She suspected that this might be the reason, but she didn't want to expose him. Saying some words would be asking for trouble.
Isn't it a good thing that he doesn't need her to accompany him?
She could rest in the room. She didn't like socializing with him in the first place.
"I understand, Mr. Huo."
Huo Yanxi's cold expression softened a little. He glanced at the dress and said in a deep tone, "Remember to return this tattered dress to others. Don't accept anything that doesn't suit you."
"I will take care of it, so Mr. Huo doesn't have to worry." She knew that he deliberately refused to allow her to go to the dinner because of Moses. What a stingy man!
In the evening, Huo Yanxi was invited to attend a dinner in the hotel banquet hall.
He wore a well-tailored dark iron gray suit, and his tall and straight body was as tall as any Westerner present.
Because it was a dinner party, he didn't wear a tie. He had a square scarf on his chest pocket, which was casual yet elegant.
Ronald also invited many company bosses tonight to introduce them to Huo Yanxi.
Huo Yanxi attracted everyone's attention as soon as he appeared. He seemed to have an innate aura that made everyone present feel a sense of pressure.
Ronald hurriedly greeted him: "Mr. Huo, come here, the dinner is about to begin."
Moses, who was standing nearby, didn't see that he had brought his secretary and staff over, but he didn't see Ye Ruge. He couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Huo, why didn't Miss Ye come?" When they parted, he clearly agreed with her.
See you tonight.
Huo Yanxi curled her lips with a half-smile, looking very polite, but there was no smile in her dark eyes: "She's not feeling well, so I asked her to rest in the guest room."
"What? Miss Ye is not feeling well? Is it serious? Do you need to see a doctor?" Moses looked very concerned and anxious.
"No, I have to go see her." He couldn't wait to see Ye Ruge.
Huo Yanxi's eyes narrowed, and then he said: "Don't bother, she has already gone to bed. If you go now, you will only disturb her."
Moses was anxious, but Huo Yanxi was right, he shouldn't disturb her rest at this time.
"Then I'll go see her later." Moses still refused to give up.
Huo Yanxi's eyebrows wrinkled unconsciously, and a coldness flashed in his eyes.
While they were talking, a woman wearing a white evening dress walked toward them.
"Mr. Huo, what a coincidence, I meet you here." Xia Shiyun appeared dressed up.
Huo Yanxi was somewhat surprised to see her: "Why are you here?"
Xia Shiyun smiled sweetly: "I was invited by Mr. Ronald, and he wants me to be his spokesperson."
Ronald then spoke: "I haven't had time to tell Mr. Huo that I am going to ask Miss Xia to be our product spokesperson. I heard that Miss Xia is a very famous actress in China."
"Mr. Ronald, thank you very much." Xia Shiyun had a bright smile on her face, and she naturally put her arm on Huo Yanxi's arm as she finished speaking: "I have to thank Mr. Huo for being able to live today."
Huo Yanxi lowered his eyes and stared at her hands, frowning.
"So the relationship between the two of you should be very good, so let's let the two distinguished guests kick off our opening dance tonight." As soon as Ronald finished speaking, everyone around him applauded.
…
Ye Ruge was lying in the room playing with her mobile phone, but when she thought about Huo Yanxi deliberately not allowing her to attend the dinner, she still felt uncomfortable.
She saw the dress on the table. It was so beautiful. It was a pity that she didn't wear it.
No, why can't she go if he doesn't allow her to go?
She would put on a formal dress and go to the dinner party now, and he wouldn't be able to drive her away by then.
