"Uh, of course! Miss Fisher looks stunning every day! Allow me to make up for it by chugging this glass down." Mr. Russell tilted his glass and gulped the wine in his hand down.
"Miss Fisher is one of the most well-known beauties around here. I think Mr. Russell here should punish himself with two cups." Mr. Irwin approached them as he overheard their conversation.
"Mr. Russell really knows his manners," Fiorella looked at Mr. Irwin and flashed him a light smile, for he had captured her attention. is there something important that you need to announce at today's reception, Miss Fisher?" Mr. Irwin asked.
"There's really nothing I can hide from you, Mr. Irwin. I hope you'll keep it a secret for me. After everyone's here, I'll reveal it." Fiorella said as she approached Mr. Irwin win a smile on her face.
"You really know how to keep people guessing, don't you?" he said.
"Shall we have a toast?" Mr. Irwin raised his eyebrows and said while looking at Fiorella.
"Even if you didn't ask, I would still have initiated a toast with you." Fiorella picked a glass of wine up and struck her glass against
Mr. Irwin's, after which the duo drank happily.
At the same time, the entrance of the reception hall attracted the cheers of a group of girls. Mr. Irwin looked over and complained, "Young people these days scream whenever they come across the slightest of things. It really is irritating.’
Fiorella looked at Mr. Irwin and said, "Well, you don't quite know how to enjoy the excitement, and yet you still came. The area over there is quieter. You can chill out over there while I'll go greet the guests.
I'll come back to keep you company later."
"Okay, then I'll wait for you over there." Mr. Irwin said, and with the company of Mr. Russell, they made their way to the more quiet area.
With a smile on her face, Fiorella watched as Mr. Irwin walked away, after which she whirled around and headed toward the entrance.
‘Who could it be that caused the crowd to cheer?’ she asked herself.
Before Fiorella could reach the door, she saw that Jared was surrounded by a group of young women.
Fiorella's sharp eyes swept across the young women surrounding Jared, frightening them to the extent that they immediately left Jared alone. None of them dared to step forward. Instead they looked at Jared with wistful eyes from the side, while a few of them took pictures.
"Mr. Johnston, I was becoming worried that you would not show up. It seems that you still do care about me." Fiorella looked at Jared with a hint of confidence in her eyes.
"You must be pulling my leg, Miss Fisher. How could I flake on your reception?" Jared looked at her casually.
Fiorella then glanced behind Jared, and to her delight, she did not see Nicole. 'l knew she would not come.’
Fiorella went up to his side and took his arm under the stare of the entire crowd. She was beaming with satisfaction, but before she could bask in the envy of others, Jared casually left her behind and walked up to the stack of wine glasses, before picking one up and looking at her.
"You have a lot of good wine here, Miss Fisher," Jared commented.
He was making sure that he had drawn a clear line for the others to see, so that they would not misunderstand or misinterpret his relationship with Fiorella. However, little did he know that the photograph of Fiorella holding his arm had already been captured by someone in the crowd, and had been posted on the internet, making it viral in a matter of minutes. Jared was completely unaware of the fact, as he was still busy chatting with Fiorella.
Fiorella was not bothered by this, and once again, she went up to Jared's side, but this time, she did not hold onto his arm. She then turned to look at the crowd and said, "Everyone, thank you for joining US today. Today’s event is just a normal social gathering, but there is indeed one important announcement that I'd like to make."
