"The gasp of surprise will tell you whether you are beautiful or not!" Kayden waved his hand. The
designer and her assistant left because they knew they should leave Kayden and Ellie alone. Kayden
said, "Alright, it's time for us to go downstairs and let everyone see your beauty!"
"No, I haven't looked myself in the mirror yet. I want to know what I look like now." Ellie was so curious.
"Not now. Just leave some suspense. You'll know later." Kayden stopped her.
Ellie couldn't wait. She quickly flipped through her bag, took out her phone, and looked at herself with
the screen. "Wow, is this me? Is this me? So beautiful! Oh my God, I've never been so beautiful in my
life..."
"It's you, definitely. Hurry up, do you still want to rub Saniyah's nose?"
Kayden's words got on Ellie's nerve. Unsurprisingly, she threw away her phone and grabbed Kayden's
arm. "Let's go, I almost forgot. I can't let Nico see her before me. I wonder how Nico will react when he
sees me."
Nico again. Hearing that, Kayden's heart sank.
In the lobby of the hotel, reporters were taking pictures and interviewing Saniyah, who was glowing. To
rival Ellie, Saniyah intentionally dressed herself up. A fiery red evening dress accentuated her fine skin.
The sleeveless low-cut dress revealed the skin on her chest, which added a tinge of glamour to her.
The pearl earrings and necklaces made her more attractive.
Her bearing showed that she was a confident superstar. She believed that when Kayden saw her, he
would stare at her without a blink. As for Ellie, she was nothing but a country girl.
The feeling of being around by many men was quite good. Countless men flattered her. Even more,
men wanted to have intimate contact with her. And she enjoyed their flattery and attention.
Just as she was conversing with a television reporter as if she were a queen, the reporters who were
originally around her suddenly turned to the elevator and started taking pictures.
"Wow, there are so many people." Ellie, who had just stepped out of the elevator, whispered to Kayden
when she saw the reporters swarming up. "Kayden, look at me. Is my hair messy? Is my eyeshadow
blurry? I'm so nervous."
"No, you're beautiful." Kayden replied unhesitatingly, "And there's nothing to be nervous about. I'm here
for you."
Ellie was slightly stunned. "I'm here for you". This sentence somehow touched her. She became
relaxed suddenly. She was not afraid or anxious anymore. Her tightened body was also relaxed.
Kayden held Ellie and walked towards the hall gracefully. To be honest, Kayden was always walking
arrogantly. So acting gracefully was not easy for him, yet after minor adjustments, he almost nailed it.
He was just like a real gentleman with etiquette.
After all, he was Kayden! He had served Master Smith since he was young. He had attended all kinds
of parties. Being at a party was just like being in his own kitchen. He was so familiar with such an
occasion.
Saniyah was immediately ignored because Ellie was more beautiful than her with make-up. Her clothes
and the glaring diamonds made her the focus of attention, attracting the reporter more.
And the man in a pure black suit next to her wore a cold look. He made the scene more charming.
Although the suit wasn't formal enough, yet it added a tinge of mystery to him. He was like a terrifying
and mysterious leader of the Mafia.
After thinking for a few seconds, Saniyah decided to bring attention to her. And she came up to
Kayden.
The crowds thus made a way for Saniyah. And these two beauties got their eyes met. Just wait to see
what would happen.
Saniyah smiled at Kayden and then said to Ellie, "You are so beautiful. Everyone present here is
impressed by your beauty."
Being Praised in front of so many people, Ellie felt a little embarrassed, "That's just because I'm
wearing makeup. You are the true beauty."
Saniyah didn't reply.
She smiled and drew her hair behind her ears. Such a movement again attracted the attention of the
reporters. They all raised their cameras at her.
"Alright, it's time for dinner. Everyone, please head to the restaurant." The host adjusted the
microphone and said from the podium.
Though the dinner was a buffet, everyone was just grabbing a bite. They were really busy posing for
pictures.
Ellie and Saniyah were surrounded by cameras and flashes. Several times, Ellie was blinded by the
intense light.
Finally, when the reporter was tired, Kayden walked over and asked in a low voice, "Such party won't
make you full. Later, let's eat snacks served in Venice at night."
"I expected that. I only care about whether I am pretty on the photos." Ellie said casually.
"Don't worry, I promise all the photos are fine," Kayden said calmly.
Ellie's eyes lit up, "Kayden, those reporters were invited by you?"
"I just gave a hint to them. It's a piece of cake."
Saniyah was secretly observing Ellie and Kayden. Seeing the two were chatting and laughing, she felt
frustrated. How could she allow herself to be at a disadvantage? Thus, she found every opportunity to
disturb them.
For example, she would walk up to him, glanced at his plate, and put his favorite food on his plate.
Occasionally, she would raise her goblet from afar and propose a toast.
However, Kayden treated her quite indifferently. He was simply nodding to her, not even saying a single
word.
"If everyone is well fed, please follow me." The person in charge of the party said.
Ellie held Kayden's arm and whispered at his ear, "I wonder what tricks are playing here."
Kayden only smiled. Every minute he was with Ellie was a pleasure. Even if he was only able to stand
by her and did nothing, he was contented.
A group of people followed the person in charge to the dancing floor. There was a band. The bar at the
side served all kinds of drinks. Illuminated by the dim light, Ellie's dress became even more eye-
catching.
"To celebrate the smooth filming, we held a humble party. I hope that all the dancing masters can join
us." The person in charge waved at the band. "Of course, the first dance will be performed by the
leading actor and actress." As soon as he finished, the audience broke into applause.
Saniyah applauded as well. She thought that Ellie couldn't dance. She would like to see how Ellie
would embarrass herself in front of everyone later.
Nico walked over like a prince and held Ellie's hand. "My beautiful princess, may I have the honor to
dance with you?"
Ellie's eyes lit up. She hurriedly nodded and followed him. The melodious waltz immediately sounded.
Saniyah was disappointed. It looked like Ellie had practiced dancing before to be an actress. Ellie was
not good at study but she was really talented in rhythm. After several glimpses, she would know how to
dance.
"Ms. Jones, you are a great dancer!" Nico said in surprise.
Ellie chuckled, "I've been practicing for a long time. Today, my efforts finally paid off."
Saniyah's face turned ashen. She thought that Ellie would make a fool of herself. And she would be
thrilled if Ellie fell. Maybe her falling would make headlines tomorrow. However...
Saniyah looked at them jealously. Only God knew how jealous she was.
After they finished one song, Nico looked at Ellie with surprise. He couldn't move his eyes away from
Ellie. Perhaps his previous impression of her was wrong.
Nico sent Ellie back to her seat, and the waiter brought them champagne. Nico thought the bubbling
golden liquid was soda and drank a full mouthful. When the liquid slipped down his throat, Nico knew
that he was wrong.
There came silence.
Ellie noticed the change in Nico's expression and blinked as she reminded him, "Nico, slow down, or
you'll get drunk."
Nico frowned. "I think I'm already drunk." The wine was so intense that his sight became blurry at once,
and his head got dizzy.
"Do you want to have a rest over there? Quite a few reporters are here." Ellie pointed to a corner not
far. The lights there were also dim, so few people would notice them.
Nico glanced in that direction and thought, "Too far!" But before he replied to Ellie, Ellie held his arms
and went in the direction.
"Can I have a dance with you?" Saniyah walked over and invited Kayden to dance.
He looked towards Ellie. He saw she was chatting happily with Nico there.
Ellie was always around him. But when he needed her, she was having fun with others. He knew Ellie
well. It was obvious that she had plans for Nico. Kayden knew this from Ellie's smug smile.
"Mr. Kayden?" Saniyah called his name again hesitantly.
'Would you shut up?' Kayden glared at Saniyah.
Saniyah's heart trembled. She suddenly hesitated.
'Damn it, where was Ellie going? Is she going to do that right now in front of so many people?' Seeing
what Ellie had done, Kayden was enraged. How could she do that now? He had just had someone
drug Nico, but the drug didn't work now. Yet Ellie had already begun her plan. How bold she was! What
if some reporters saw her?
'Damn it, I can't see her anymore.' Kayden's sight was blocked by other dancers. He was so annoyed.
"Mr. Kayden, the song has begun. Let's..."
Kayden glanced at Saniyah and looked in the direction of Ellie, who was about to disappear from his
sight. He had no choice but to hold Saniyah's hand and walk towards the dance floor, then slowly
moved to where Ellie was.
