It was a day before the ball.

Right before they got off from work, the manager suddenly called for a last-minute meeting to present them with a reminder. As representatives from BLOVE, they had to do their best during the ball to avoid being a disgrace to the company.

“Speed it up, people. Finish your work in advance, and I’ll let you off at noon tomorrow so that you have plenty of time to be prepared for the ball.”

Although they did not like the manager’s operating style, the idea of leaving work earlier was greeted with relief.

After they got off from work, Xiao Hong suddenly ran back into the office and stopped Xiao Lan and Ning Youyou from leaving. She had got some news.

“Youyou, Xiao Lan, I heard that the girls from another department are paying big bucks for rich men to attend the ball with them in order to look more decent and presentable.”

“What’s so surprising about it? You can get anyone if you have the money. I’d pay for the nation’s best-looking man to go to the ball with me if I could afford it. I’d be the coolest woman of the evening,” Xiao Lan sounded rather indifferent. With one arm over Ning Youyou’s shoulder, she added, “Youyou, don’t you think so?”

Xiao Hong still looked worried. “Xiao Lan, we’re paying for boys from the nightclub. What if they find out about it?”

Xiao Lan looked at her and said with a note of seriousness, “What are you afraid of? If you and I keep our mouths shut, no one else is going to find out about it. The boys from the night club have their ethics to adhere to. Moreover, even if people do recognize the boys, I don’t think they’re going to say it out loud. If they do so, it only means that they’re frequent visitors in the nightclub.”

“You have a point,” Xiao Hong hesitantly agreed.

“Take it easy! We have one more day to go. Don’t trouble yourself too much over it.”

Xiao Hong heaved a long sigh.

Contrary to Xiao Lan’s optimistic approach, Xiao Hong found herself struggling with the insecurities of being exposed. After a few words of comfort and reassurance, she put aside her worries and began looking forward to the ball.

Before they left the office, they texted their companions just to confirm with them about their attendance. After their prompt reply, the two girls finally went home, worry-free.

On Ning Youyou’s way home, she could not stop thinking about what Xiao Lan had just said. The phone that she had been holding firmly in her hand began to get a little warm. In the end, she succumbed and looked up his number in her contacts and texted him a message.

“Tomorrow evening! Don’t you forget!” A cute emoji was also added at the end of her message.

She finally let out a big smile as soon as the message was sent. However, she did not receive any reply, not even a word.

The lack of response was quite alarming as she was quite worried about getting stood up.

It would certainly be embarrassing if he did not show up; he was the only option that she had. There was not even a backup plan that she could use.

She waited, but his reply never came.

In Mu Se, Mu Shaoqing sat elegantly on the sofa, with a glass of Romanée-Conti in his hand. Gently, he swirled the wine in his glass.

Although he seemed to be looking at the wine glass, his eyes were actually fixed on the screen. He read the message on the screen and was delighted.

His little kitten seemed a bit too impatient. Would she break down in tears if he did not show up at the ball? Or would she flush with indignation?

He was amused at the thought of the muddle-headed girl and the expressions that she might have.
