Stay Away From My Son

Chapter 14 Mary’s Fear

Finished

While the jewelry fair was held in a private exhibition Hall with tight security, the alleys and streets around the place were sealed with security guards carefully verifying every guest who was invited to the event. Meanwhile, Samantha heaved a sigh of relief as soon as she went through the security check with her pearl–beaded purse. After that, she was ready to enjoy the privilege a VIP guest should have in the event, as she was ushered by a female concierge to the banquet Hall.

Soon, Samantha found herself in a grand–looking hall where she could see rows of glass cabinets, but since the event hadn’t begun, the guests were invited to enjoy a buffet before they went on to take their seats. It turned out that Samantha’s seat was in the sixth row, which was a place that everyone wished they had. However, little did they know Samantha considered herself lucky because her seat was initially meant for Orion.

While the other guests slowly filled the empty seats, Samantha found herself seated next to a man who seemed to be in his thirties. With his shiny hair and branded outfit, it would suggest that he was no ordinary man. At that moment, he fixed his eyes on Samantha, finding her different from the others, even though there were many other pretty ladies around. “Nice to meet you, lady. My name is Milan Hughes. Here is my name card. Milan gave Samantha his name card that read, ‘president from Sterling Inc..

“Hi, I’m Samantha Woodword.” Samantha introduced herself with a polite smile.

Meanwhile, there were two guests who arrived late at the exhibition hall. Noticing two silhouettes of a man and a lady entering the place with their hands held together, Samantha couldn’t help but wonder who came late, but when she looked up, she was instantly stunned to find out that they were Joseph and Mary. Oh, boy! We’re living in such a small world. Samantha stared at Mary, who was dressed like an angel, tightening her grip around her waist as she could barely hide her hatred for the latter.

On the other hand, Joseph was wearing an expensive black suit and a pair of delicate slacks, which accentuated his strong and intimidating aura. At the same time, every other lady, who had their the man, was all stunned to see the president from Xylon Corporation, but when they noticed the lady who was accompanying him, they began to frown at her ordinary appearance and wondered whether she was his girlfriend. Nonetheless, they couldn’t help but feel jealous of Mary, wishing they could be in her place instead.

Samantha pretended as if she wasn’t aware of their presence and raised her glass, sipping the red wine in it. Nonetheless, Mary observantly noticed Samantha’s presence, instantly feeling stunned because she didn’t expect that she would show up at such a high–class event. Who is she to attend this jewelry fair? Is she even qualified enough to be here?

Not long after that, Joseph also noticed Samantha’s presence and was coincidentally arranged to be seated opposite her. Thus, Samantha had no choice but to reluctantly face him, no matter how much she didn’t want to. The moment she looked up, she met a pair of charming eyes in the illuminating candlelight just when the man’s chiseled face and good looks came into view. With his thick and natural eyebrows, his altractive gaze and high nose bridge became even more noticeable, making him look even hotter. Oh god! How can someone ever be so handsome like him? Samantha blinked and stared at the man who was also looking back at her at the same time while they locked eyes with each other for a few seconds. Soon, she sensed a pair of hateful eyes looking at her shortly before she realized Mary was glaring at her.

“Let’s have a toast, Miss Woodword.” Milan tried to strike up a conversation with Samantha-

Samantha raised her glass and toasted John, smiling at him as she would rather look at Milan than Joseph. Hmph! Since Mary is my enemy, that makes her boyfriend my enemy as well.

“Miss Woodword, you have to try this. Trust me. You’re going to love the taste.” Milan was able to sense

Samantha’s enthusiasm, having a good feeling that he could win the lady’s heart over.

Thank you.” Samantha picked up the pastry the man gave her and took a bite of it while revealing a sweet

smile.

In the meantime, Mary seized Joseph’s arm and coyly pointed at the desserts far away from her. “Joseph, I want that one.” The man then stretched out his long arm and brought the pastry to her, whereupon she proceeded to enjoy it. At the same time, she occasionally gawked at Samantha with glee to gloat at the latter.

Meanwhile, Samantha rolled her eyes upward at Mary, wondering how she managed to win Joseph’s heart while making sure he obeyed her every wish. What’s wrong with Joseph? I can’t believe he is treating that lady like the apple of his eve

“Excuse me. I’d like to use the washroom. Samantha felt an urge to answer nature’s call as she stood up and revealed her glimmering dress that accentuated her slim waist, which would take any man’s breath away. On the other hand, Milan had his eyes glued to Samantha, who was walking away, just when Joseph raised his glass and happened to notice the lady’s presence. Oh my, it is indeed a surprise to see her here.

“Joseph, I’ll be right back. I need to

se the washroom. Mary rose from her seat as well and followed right behind Samantha. While Samantha was washing her hands alone in the magnificent–looking restroom, Mary soon walked in and approached her. “Don’t tell me you got in here with the help of some man you’re dating. Mary looked at Samantha in the mirror and taunted her.

“That’s none of your concern!” Samantha shot a cold gaze back at the hostile lady’s reflection in the mirror.

“I heard they were strict with the selection of their guests tonight. After all, no ordinary person stood a chance to be here, and you’re one of them, so how come you’re here?”
