Jonathan held Estelle’s hand tightly and grinned, “If she’s all that, do you think I stand a chance?”
Estelle’s eyes widened slightly as she clutched Jonathan’s hand.
What’s he babbling about in front of Henson?!
Henson started chuckling, “Can’t argue with that, Ms. Macclain is a bit too perfect, even God’s jealous, got to throw a stumbling block in her way”
He picked up the puppy as he spoke, “Allmen, say hi to Ms. Macclain
It’s called Allmen?” Estelle raised an eyebrow
Henson boasted. “Yeah, I named him. Cool, huh?”
Estelle gave an awkward laugh, “Sounds great, really great, absolutely smashing!”
Henson grumbled. You’re faking it
Before Estelle could respond, Jonathan said, “You asked me yesterday what reward I should give you, I’ve thought about it, I’ll have Millard buy you some workbooks right away, you’re going to love every single one of them.”
Henson sucked in a breath as he noticed Estelle standing behind Jonathan, laughing. He got the message, these two had made up, they were husband and wife, he was the odd one out.
1 apologize, Ms. Macclain, your laughter was very genuine, very beautiful!” Henson knew who to butter up now.
Estelle giggled, “Alright, time for class””
Jonathan, holding her hand, led her into the mansion, explaining, “Henson misses Milo, but I can’t separate Milo and Max, so I brought him a puppy. I’ll tell Fabian to keep Allmen caged over the weekend.”
A servant happened to pass by, Estelle quickly let go of Jonathan’s hand, maintaining a proper distance, and laughed, “No need, even if I’m scared, I won’t let a puppy get to me!”
“Why would you be scared?”
Jonathan looked at her intently.
Estelle’s heart fluttered, her lips curled up involuntarily and she looked away.
Today was the day of the family gathering at the old house, Simone took Carmella to the Macclain Mansion early in the morning, the whole Macclain family was there.
As everyone chatted, they brought up the brand Yulia was endorsing. Simone in particular mentioned, “Carmella is now Yulia’s personal designer, they are quite close!”
Everyone’s eyes turned to Carmella.
Carmella stiffened and quickly avoided their stares, pretending to go grab a juice from the coffee table.
Natalia laughed, “Carmella’s career is soaring!”
Sabina, sitting next to Simone, looked at Carmella with a dismissive smile on her face.
Terrence put down his book, and kindly said, “Yulia is a celebrity, but her family in H City is well connected, her father just got promoted, it’s good to build a relationship with her
Corley Macclain immediately said, “I’m currently bidding on a project in H City that happens to be managed by the Mentin family. Carmella, could you introduce me so that I can meet Mr. Mentin through Yulia?”
The Macclain family’s influence in H City was not strong, which worried Corley, If Carmella could help him meet Mr. Mentin, the problem might be solved. Natalia happily said, “I heard that the Mentin family only has one daughter, Yulia, their precious gem. If Yulia could put in a good word for us in front of Mr. Mentin, our problem could be solved.”
“Yes” Corley looked at Carmella with a hopeful face, “Carmella, you must help me!”
Hans Macclain and Sallie Macclain, who were playing a game on the side, couldn’t help but snicker at everyone’s excitement.
Simone said smugly. “Why don’t we have Carmella invite Yulia over first, so we can all get acquainted.”
Even Bennett joined in, “Helping the family is a given!”
Everyone was excited, no one noticed Carmella’s pale face, or the sweat on her forehead.
