“Nice to meet you, Mr. Presgrave.” Sophia felt very honored to be able to greet Elliot.
“Nice to meet you too.” Elliot smiled and nodded.
It was then that Anastasia also slipped away from the guests and came over as Sophia greeted her
enthusiastically upon seeing her, “Hello, President Tillman!”
Approaching them, Anastasia praised the lady in gold, “You look very beautiful tonight, Sophia.”
“Thank you, President Tillman.” Sophia always felt that Anastasia was more akin to an older sister that
she never had.
Even though they were a few years apart in age, the similarities in beliefs made them closer.
“It‘s so formal of you to call me ‘President Tillman. Just call me by my name from now on!” Anastasia
held her hands passionately. “You two continue on, Elliot. I‘m going to chat with Sophia elsewhere.”
Arthur then went with Elliot to talk about topics common among men while Anastasia took Sophia to
where Felicia and the others were.
“That‘s your boyfriend, right, Sophia?” Grace asked straightforwardly.
Somewhat blushing, Sophia nodded despite getting all shy. “Yup!”
“Wow! He‘s so handsome! You sure are lucky, Sophia!” Grace said enviously.
Feeling their gazes, Sophia pursed her lips and smiled, thinking that she was indeed lucky to be able to
meet him.
“I‘m so looking forward to our press conference abroad this time, Anastasia! I heard that a lot of
celebrities are coming to support us!” Grace clasped her hands together expectantly.
“If you want to, you can come. I can sponsor the flight tickets and accommodation fees,” offered
Anastasia.
“Yay! Our president is the best! I love you!” Grace did a heart–shaped gesture
At that moment, someone appeared behind them and asked shamelessly, “Anastasia, could you bring
me along too?” It turned out that the someone was Katrina.
Turning around, Anastasia nodded. “Of course.”
“Thank you for inviting me and my brother to this banquet, Anastasia. We’re very honored.” Katrina
raised her cup in appreciation.
Anastasia did not expose her for she only invited
Mason. She must have entered under the guise of Mason‘s partner.
“I‘ll stop bothering you all now.” Katrina walked away on her own accord since she was here for fun and
to target someone of higher status.
It was then that she saw Arthur, the man of her dreams while they were on the island, who was also
standing beside Elliot. She had never thought that she would meet him at the event. With one look, she
was able to discern that the man came from the top one percent and was the same kind of elite as
Elliot.
If I can manage to seduce him, then I won‘t have to worry about the rest of my life.
Katrina fixtated her target on Arthur.
At the same time, Sophia‘s appearance attracted a man that was Jacob. As this was an event hosted
by the Presgrave Group, all the important members of the family were invited. As such, Jacob had
never thought that he would bump into Sophia here.
Tonight, she was heartachingly beautiful as she looked like a lost deer in the forest, making her out to
be a prize who anyone would love to capture.
Adjusting his suit subconsciously, Jacob slicked his hair. Of course, he knew that Sophia came with
Arthur, but he was still determined to show off his charms.
Even till now, he did not know who Arthur really was. He could only assume that he hailed from a
prominent family and that he was very secretive about his background, which was why he thought that
Sophia‘s background could not match up to such an individual.
Hence, he felt that he still had a chance.
Breathing in deeply, Jacob walked toward Sophia while deciding to ask her for a drink at the balcony.
Yet what he did not know was that Sophia had been in a man‘s focus throughout the whole night as he
could immediately detect whoever dared to approach his woman.
“Excuse me for a moment,” Arthur said to Elliot before walking toward Sophia.
