It was the opportunity of a lifetime. They wouldn’t miss it for the world. Not only was Joe present, but so was Jeremy
This charity gala was an auction. The money made from the sales would be donated. It happened once or twice annually.
Several people brought their date with them. Usually, people got a date to ward off eager pursuers. It would also save them a good deal of trouble.
However, Joe had never attended galas like this with a date.
A few rumors about Joe’s new paramour had been circulating. She’d attended auctions with Joe, gone shopping with him, and dined in restaurants with him. People had seen them together in public.
However, Joe hadn’t brought his rumored partner to such a momentous
occasion today. That meant that the woman was nothing more than a spot of fun. It was just a game.
Joe became the center of everyone’s attention. Countless people in Jipsburg wanted to marry Joe.
“I’ve never been so popular. How many people have initiated small talk with me today?” Rowan pointed out.
The citizens of Jipsburg were too power–hungry.
Joe was expressionless. However, the cold glare in his eyes gave his feelings away. He also seemed annoyed.
Rowan sneaked a glance at Jeremy. He looked similar to Joe. Both of them held themselves with an icy air.
What was wrong with them? Who was clueless enough to piss them off?
Rowan looked around. Suddenly, he saw a familiar person. He asked, “Isn’t that your secretary? Didn’t she accompany you to such occasions when your wife wasn’t available? Why has she become one of the gala’s servers tonight?”

When he thought about it, Rowan understood why Jeremy couldn’t help himself. If such a gorgeous woman strutted around him daily, he would’ve gotten her into bed long ago.

Jeremy immediately looked in the direction Rowan was pointing in and spotted Annabelle.
Annabelle was wearing the workers‘ uniform. She was ushering in the people who’d just entered the hall.
Perhaps because she’d just gone through an abortion, Annabelle had slimmed down. That fact further accentuated her figure.
Countless people stared at Annabelle.
Annabelle seemed to sense Jeremy looking at her. She glanced upward and turned to look at Jeremy. Their eyes met in midair. Love shimmered in Annabelle’s eyes while Jeremy’s gaze was cold. It was as though he was looking at a stranger.
Joe raised an eyebrow. Annabelle brought nothing but trouble to Jeremy. He wouldn’t be able to get rid of her that easily.
“What’s going on? Has Jeremy grown tired of his secretary?” Rowan asked Joe softly.
Joe glared at him and eplied, “You won’t benefit from being a gossipmonger.” Rowan clicked his tongue in understanding. Jeremy had indeed tired of her. No matter how gorgeous a woman was, they would tire of her if they didn’t like her after a while. However, if they did, everything was different. They would- never find her boring.
Suddenly, he saw Annie out of the corner of his eye.
