A Flash Marriage Can Be A Treasure

Chapter 266: Fickle Woman!

Soon, it is Saturday.

There are quite a few dresses in Lily's cabinet, and any of them can be a good choice for the banquet.

When they are preparing for the banquet at home in the evening, Secretary Horn of the Smith Group

comes with two large boxes in his hands.

One is for Lily and the other is for Jessie.

Secretary Horn says helplessly, "I happened to meet Mr. Leigh when I went to the shop for Ms. Lily's

dress. Mr. Leigh asked me to bring over Ms. Jessie's dress. He and Mr. Smith will go to the hotel first."

"I'm not interested in the banquet," Jessie muttered. After opening the box and seeing her dress, she

immediately says, "It's easy to grow fat if you stay at home all the day. Let's go!"

Lily puts on a wry look.

After dressing up, Jessie sets off with Lily. When they are doing their hair, Jessie looks at her phone

and says in shock to Lily, "Do you know what I just found out?"

"What?"

"We're wearing the custom dresses. They'll be on the fashion show next spring!" Jessie says excitedly,

"This is the first time I've worn a custom dress before its debut on the fashion show. I feel great!"

Lily says, "It's good to be rich!"

She occasionally spends much money on custom-made dresses, but she has few opportunities to wear

them, so she only buys the ones that are not too expensive. She has never thought about spending

much money on a high-end dress before its show.

She turns the ring on her ring finger and recalls that after knowing Louis, her thinking mode has slowly

changed and the people she meets are different from before.

Daniel, Leigh, Stella, and Alfred are all elites in the same social circle.

They are different from the people who John has introduced to her in the party before and made her

feel awkward. On the contrary, it is very easy for her to get on with Daniel and the others.

She doesn't feel inferior to them.

In the past year, thanks to Louis, she has learned a lot.

"Lily, what are you thinking about?" Jessie looks at Lily, "Look at you, you're smiling."

Lily smiles faintly, "I just feel that Mr. Louis is quite good."

Jessie teases her, "You fickle woman! I asked you if you liked Mr. Smith, and you said that you didn't

like him, but now you do. Oh! That's woman!"

Lily doesn't reply her.

At half past seven, they arrive at the Silver Intercontinental Hotel by car.

The banquet is held to celebrate the installation of new CEO of Long Peace Group. Many people in

business have been invited to the banquet, but the Song Peace Group is low-profile, so there are no

reporters at the entrance.

The waiter leads Lily and Jessie to the banquet hall, where people are drinking and chatting.

Lily looks around but doesn't see Louis. Instead, she sees Leigh who is talking with others politely. And

once a woman greets him, he would step back and keep a distance.

"I haven't seen him for a few days. He is so self-disciplined now." Lily turns her head to look at Jessie

and says, "You did a really good job. You turned a playboy into a loyal man."

Jessie says proudly, "Yes! I told you, I know how to deal with men."

Lily teases her, "But you told me before that Leigh was a playboy and you would keep a distance from

him."

"Did I ever say that?"

"Yes, you did."

When they are chatting, Leigh sees them. He walks through the crowd, hugs Jessie into his arms, and

kisses her directly.

After kissing her, Leigh rubs her cheek and says affectionately, "Baby, I haven't seen you for hours. I

miss you so much that I feel as if it had passed ten years!"

"Shut up!" Lily rubs her arms and says, "It's disgusting." This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Leigh says, "You must feel very uncomfortable. After all, you're single!"

"Hey! What are you talking about!" Jessie blames him.

Lily is happy that her roommate still takes her side.

However, Jessie whispers to Leigh, "You're stupid. Don't say that before Lily. What if Mr. Smith sends

you to work in New York? You idiot!"

Leigh nods, "Baby, you're right. Let's talk about it in private."

Richard doesn't know what to say.

They're so annoying!

After that, Leigh takes them to the private room next to the banquet hall. Louis and the others like quiet

place, so they stay in that private room.

The private room is very big.

Louis and the others are gathered around the table and playing poker. It is for entertainment, but the

atmosphere is very solemn, as if it wasn't a private room but a gambling ring.

"Alright, the guests are here. Don't waste time." Justin glances at the door and flips the cards in his

hand.

He doesn't get good cards.

Justin sighs and says, "What a bad luck."

"Are you playing cards?" Leigh walks over excitedly and looks at Justin's cards in disappointment,

"Justin, you let me down! Did you put a bet?"

Justin shrugs and takes a sip of red wine.

"The World."

"Is it the cruise ship comparable to the Venus?" Jessie asks Justin curiously.

"Yes, I just bought it not long ago." Justin says and sighs again, "If I had knew I would be so unlucky, I

wouldn't have bet on it."

Jessie is so shocked that she takes a deep breathe. "I heard that a steamer ticket costs over ten

thousand dollars. I planned to buy one after I make big bucks. You guys bet on it?"

Leigh says, "Baby, don't worry. I'll take you there whenever you want."

"Leigh, you're so sweet!" Jessie hugs him and kisses him happily.

Louis and Daniel glances at them. It's too disgusting for them.

Louis curls his lips and says, "Leigh, forget it. If I win, I will put you two into the blacklist, especially

you."

Daniel also says, "Me too."

"You guys are going too far!" Leigh says discontentedly, "I know you guys envy me for my having a

girlfriend. But you can't just ignore our brotherhood, right?"

"Piss off!"

Leigh immediately hugs Jessie and says grievously, "Baby, they bullied me."

Justin can't stand Leigh anymore and even wants to kick him out. "Alright, you guys show your cards. I

want to know who gets my World."

Daniel flips the cards in front of him.

Justin glances at him and smiles, "Not bad. Louis, what about you?"

Just as Louis is about to flip the cards, he notices Lily standing beside him and looking at them with

interest, so he pulls her into his arms and says, "Flip the last card."

Lily quietly asks him, "Is it a good one?"

"I don't know. I haven't flipped it." Louis is telling the truth.

Leigh laughs teasingly, "It can be a very good one or a very bad one. Let's see what happens!"

"No, I can't do this." Lily retracts her hand and says, "My luck has always been bad."

Louis chuckles and presses her hand onto the card. "It's fine. The World belongs to Justin. We wouldn't

lose anything even if we lost."

Lily nods. She flips the card nervously.

Everyone looks at the card.
