Chapter 90
The banquet began. After Zayn greeted several guests, he went looking for Jocelyn.
Lynn and Yvonne were standing not far away.
Yvonne continued to stir up the flames, whispering in Lynn’s ear. “See that? Director Claude went looking
for Jocelyn the moment he was done. He couldn’t wait to have her at his side all the time. You’ve already
been at the dinner for so long, but I haven’t seen him come to say hello to you or anything!”
Lynn was so made that her delicate, little face twisted.
She said bitterly, “Can you stop talking?”
She was now internally fuming and still, she had to listen to Yvonne like a fly in her ear, irritating her
again and again. Yvonne said with a slight smile. “Alright then, I’ll go around by myself first!”
Lynn ignored her. Yvonne was unhappy, but she did not show it.
She pressed her lips into a straight line and turned away.
Jocelyn was talking to Zayn when he saw Lynn approach with a smile. “Zayn, you’re here with Miss
White.”
Zayn frowned slightly. “Why are you here?”
Zayn had always known that the Claudes wanted him to marry Lynn, but he was very busy and had no
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtplans for that at all!
Not to mention Lynn was not the person he liked. He would not marry a woman just for profit!
What his family thought did not necessarily match what he thought.
Moreover, Yvonne was Lynn’s best friend and she had dared embarrass Jocelyn at the dinner tonight
which angered him!
If Lynn had not asked to be Jocelyn’s client for jewelry customization back then, he would not have been
so polite to Lynn
Heaning this, Lynn almost failed to retain her smile. “Zayn, to answer your question, I came to apologize
to Miss White. Why did you have to question me like that?!”
Although she was internally infuriated, she knew what kind of person Zayn was. He might be a
gentleman but he was in fact, colder than anyone and was difficult to approach.
This man was to be her future husband. She could not possibly let this Jocelyn drive a wedge between
her and Zayn
Zayn smiled coldly “You should care more about the kind of friends you make in the future. Don’t just
befriend everyone!”
Lynn’s smile was strained. “Yes, I understand!”
She said and looked at Jocelyn. “Miss White, I apologize for Yvonne’s rudeness before. I’m sorry!”
Jocelyn shook her head. “No, it’s alright. It’s between me and her. It has nothing to do with you!”
Lynn’s eyes shone. She smiled and said, “Miss White is kind, I will give Yvonne a talking to!”
As she said this, she turned around and exchanged glances with the waiter who had just walked by. She
then grabbed two glasses of red wine from their tray and handed one to Jocelyn while keeping the other
herself.
Since Lynn exchanged glances with the waiter with her back to the crowd, Jocelyn did not find anything
strange at all.
Lynn smiled and clinked glasses with Jocelyn. “Miss White, I really like the jewelry you designed for me. I
would like to thank you!”
Saying this, Lynn raised her glass and took a sip, smiling at Jocelyn.
It would not be good for Jocelyn to disrespect her either so she raised her glass and drank two
mouthfuls.
Seeing Jocelyn drinking the wine in the glass, Lynn’s smile grew wider.
After chatting with Jocelyn for a bit, she then went to say hello to other friends, cup in hand.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmZayn was also busy. After a while, he accompanied his mother to meet his good friends.
When the two left, Lexie who had been silent, said, “Jocelyn, stay away from Lynn in the future!”
Jocelyn was stunned. “What’s the matter? What’s wrong with her? She’s just my client. We’re not that
close, to begin with!”
Lexie pursed her lips, her expression tight. “That’s good then. Besides, I don’t think she is as friendly as
she seems.”
Jocelyn knew that while Lexie did not enjoy interacting with people, her hunches about them were
usually pretty accurate.
She nodded and did not disagree with her.
At this moment, a few gentlemen came over to greet them, they wanted to exchange contact information
with Jocelyn and Lexie.
Jocelyn rejected them blankly. She initially wanted to pull Lexie away to a quiet location to dally about
before leaving when the dinner was almost over
However, the moment she turned around, she bumped into Skyler who had been there for a while.
Yvonne and Jim were beside him
Jocelyn had wanted to avoid them
In the end, after taking only the first step while grabbing onto Lexie, Skyler grabbed her arm.
Jocelyn raised her brow “M: ”
Before she could call out, she heard Skyler say to Yvonne, “She’s my companion!”
