Unlike some people, who become arrogant and want the whole world to know when they get close to some influential figures!
Who she was talking about was clear to everyone present.
Stephanie: …
She really didn’t know, otherwise she would have definitely said it!
Lawson gazed at her fair and delicate countenance, marveling at how composed she remained even at this moment. She had an air of “unperturbed by honor or disgrace,” showing no trace of arrogance or conceit. As he spoke to her, his voice grew even gentler. “Stephie, you are still so modest and unassuming, just like when I first met you.”
Stephanie seemed to be transported back to the past in his affectionate gaze. His cheeks gradually turned red, and he tightly gripped the hand under the table. With a voice as soft as a mosquito’s footstep, he whispered, “I, I just didn’t find the opportunity to say it.”
She actually had no idea who this Mr. Herrera was or why he had
come.
She instinctively thought it was someone Amy had invited, or else someone like Master Maximo who had seen her award–winning piece and was attracted by her talent, and came uninvited.
Everyone looked at her with a shocked and envioùs gaze.
Under such gaze, she gradually floated up, took a deep breath, and a smile appeared on her face. Standing up under the gaze of everyone, she walked gracefully to the door and said to the young man who was

still peering and looking around.
“Hello, I am Stephanie.”
She deliberately held her throat and spoke with such a soft voice, like a flower.
The smile on the face could hardly be hidden anymore!
That shy and timid gaze, could hardly conceal the pride and self- assurance, as if she was the one who invited him.
“Please come in and have a seat.”
The young person heard her words and the parrot faithfully repeated, “Are you Stephanie?”
That’s not right.
It wasn’t called that name!
Stephanie couldn’t hear his inner thoughts and thought he was just unsure of what he looked like. She smiled lightly and nodded proudly. “Yes, I am Stephanie.”
She glanced at the old man, but couldn’t see anything remarkable about him, despite his plain appearance.
Oliva, a person worthy of admiration, was looked up to with excitement.
She took a deep breath and silently thought to herself that no matter what kind of person he was, at least with him around, she could salvage the situation today, or at least not be so embarrassed
Her lips were curving upwards.

The young person suddenly spoke clearly, “But we were looking for Myrna!”
Stephanie, who was just basking in the adoring gazes of the crowd, stood there with her mouth wide open in astonishment.
That slap was too heavy.
She didn’t even realize it for a moment!
The room was so quiet that even the sound of a drop of water could be heard.
It was too quiet!
Silence is terrifying!
The Stark family’s faces turned pale, and they were simply unable to
react.
Did they encounter ghosts today?
“Sorry, we entered the wrong private room.” The young man, unaware of the awkward atmosphere, politely asked her, “Excuse me, is there another Ms. Stark celebrating her birthday here? Do you know which private room she is in?”
Stephanie’s neck felt as if someone had grabbed it.
The chest seemed to be wheezing like a bellows between breaths.
She wished she could find a hole to hide in at that moment. She couldn’t say a word anymore, her pretty face turned red as if it was about to bleed. She struggled to lift her hand and pointed towards the next door.
“Oh, thank you.”

As soon as the two of them left, her legs went weak and she almost collapsed onto the ground
I completely lost the courage to turn back.
Just now, Lawson asked her if the person was invited by her. She mistakenly thought that the other person had come to celebrate her birthday, so she indirectly admitted it.
At this moment…
Stephanie had never been so disheveled before!
