Xia Cha looked at Huo Heng angrily, “Is Bai Tong’s waist thin?”
It was as if he was going to devour him if he answered in the affirmative.
Huo Heng acted as if he did not see Xia Cha’s warning gaze. He raised the corner of his lips and smiled wickedly, “It’s quite thin!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the girl pinched his arm hard.
“How is it thin? Didn’t you just say that the skirt is tight around her body?”
Huo Heng raised an eyebrow. “You admit that the dress was originally for you?”
This fellow!
He was actually trying to get information out of her!
Xia Cha did not want to answer him. She glared at him angrily, “Don’t look at Bai Tong again.”
Huo Heng laughed. “I didn’t expect our Little Camellia to be so domineering!”
Before Xia Cha could say anything, she heard him say lazily, “Then who should I look at in the future?”
Even though she knew that he was deliberately setting her up, she still couldn’t help but reply, “Of course it’s me.”
Huo Heng narrowed his eyes. “I can’t tell how thin your waist is with my eyes.”
Xia Cha took a step forward and held Huo Heng’s slender hand, hugging her slender waist.
If he didn’t pay attention, his hands would meet each other.
“Little Camellia, you’re too skinny. You need to eat more.”
“It’s good that way when I’m on camera. I won’t look good on camera if I eat more.”
Huo Heng exposed her mercilessly. “Who was the one who wanted to eat that high-calorie cake?”
Xia Cha blushed and punched him twice on the shoulder. “Why are you so annoying? Can’t you not embarrass me?”
Huo Heng lowered his head and gently touched the tip of her nose. “You’re so cute when you say one thing and mean another.”
Huo Heng’s tall body leaned lazily against a big tree. He held Xia Cha’s slender white wrist, pulled her in front of him, and pulled her into his arms. “If I’m not wrong, Third Master Huo will invite you for his first dance later.”
Although most people thought that Bai Tong would be invited to the first dance by Huo Third Master, Huo Heng knew that the gown was originally meant for Xia Cha. The first dance would also be for Xia Cha.
Xia Cha frowned slightly.
She didn’t want to be the center of attention, nor did she want to dance with Huo Third Master.
Xia Cha raised her head and looked at the man’s handsome face. “If I wanted to dance, I wouldn’t have let Bai Tong wear the gown.”
…
Xia Cha and Huo Heng did not stay in the backyard for long.
Xia Cha returned to the banquet hall first.
In a corner of the hall, the commander’s baton was raised high, and the dance music started.
The most anticipated dance of the celebrities at the banquet had arrived.
Bai Tong and Xia Furong were standing together. When she heard the sound of the dance music, her face revealed an expression as if she was determined to win.
No one dared to take the initiative to dance with Huo Third Master when she was the one wearing the gown designed by YG. Everyone knew that she would be Huo Third Master’s chosen partner.
“Bai Tong, the boss will definitely choose you for the first dance later.” Xia Furong looked at Bai Tong fawningly.
Bai Tong smiled. “After this dance, my position in the company will be even more stable. You’ve done well this time, so I’ll promote you.”
“It’s my honor to be able to work for you,” Xia Furong said. She saw a tall and handsome man in a handmade suit walking towards her. She whispered to Bai Tong, “Look, the boss is walking toward us.”
Bai Tong’s lips curved into a beautiful smile. In the eyes of many female celebrities, she saw jealousy and envy. She slightly raised her chin like a proud peacock.
It was only when Huo Third Master was about to approach her that she took a step forward and looked at him tenderly.
However, Huo Third Master only stopped in front of her for a second or two before he continued walking forward.
Bai Tong frowned.
Xia Furong saw that Third Master Huo didn’t invite Bai Tong to dance and hurriedly looked in the direction he was walking toward.
Xia Cha and her manager Sister Jin stood in the corner.
Xia Furong clenched her hands into fists. Could it be that the boss wanted to dance with Xia Cha?
Naturally, Xia Cha saw Huo Third Master. If he really invited her and she rejected him in public, she would embarrass him.
If she accepted his invitation, she would be criticized again. Besides, she didn’t want Huo Heng to misunderstand.
Xia Cha pretended to be careless. With a twist of her wrist, the red wine in the wine glass spilled out and landed on her gown.
“Oh my, my gown is dirty.”
Sister Jin thought that Xia Cha was too agitated and spilled the red wine accidentally.
Sister Jin knew that Huo Third Master was here to invite Xia Cha to dance with him. However, Xia Cha’s gown was dirty now, so she could not dance anymore.
Sister Jin could only say, “Go to the washroom upstairs and wash up. Get a waiter to bring a hairdryer to dry your gown.”
Xia Cha put down the wine glass in her hand. “Okay.”
When she passed Huo Third Master, Xia Cha nodded at him.
Huo Third Master looked at Xia Cha who was leaving and walked toward Sister Jin without any change in expression. He extended his hand to her like a gentleman and said, “Miss Jin, may I invite you for the first dance?”
Sister Jin placed her hand in Huo Third Master’s and smiled. “Of course.”
The two of them slid onto the dance floor.
When the others saw that Huo Third Master invited Sister Jin to the first dance, they were a little surprised. However, Sister Jin was older than Huo Third Master and looked average. Huo Third Master would definitely not develop feelings for her.
In other words, Huo Third Master didn’t fancy any female celebrities in his company tonight.
There was still a chance to become the lady boss.
Huo Third Master looked at Sister Jin and asked in a low voice, “What happened to the gown?”
“Xiao Cha accepted the gown, but she went to the washroom and someone stole it secretly.”
Huo Third Master glanced at Bai Tong. Clearly, Bai Tong wasn’t stupid enough to steal a gown and wear it openly.
“Take down the surveillance cameras and see what’s going on. See if someone really stole the gown for Bai Tong,” Huo Third Master’s deep eyes flashed with a decisive cold light, “Blacklist that person.”
Sister Jin nodded. “Alright.”
…
Xia Cha went upstairs to wash her gown and blow-dry it with a hairdryer. When she went downstairs, it was already the third dance song.
Huo Third Master was talking to a few men in suits and leather shoes. In the middle of the dance floor, the most eye-catching person was Bai Tong and her dance partner… Huo Heng.
Xia Cha watched Bai Tong spin under Huo Heng’s guidance. Her skirt fluttered in the wind, making her look like a fairy.
Xia Cha felt a ball of fire rise in her heart. She had just gone up to wash her gown but the man who had attracted unwanted attention had started to dance with Baitong.
He was afraid that she would dance with Huo Third Master, so he had given her a warning beforehand. In the end, he…
Out of sight, out of mind. Xia Cha took a glass of wine and walked out of the banquet hall to the back garden.
She went to the innermost part of the garden and sat in an inconspicuous spot.
Ten minutes later, she finished a glass of wine.. Her emotions calmed down a little, and just as she was about to stand up, an unusual sound came from the opposite side of the shrubbery.
