Chapter 540 His Dream Comes True
The person patiently explained, “Well, didn’t the Saunderses spend a lot of money on their home’s renovation? Everyone wants to take a look, so Miss Saunders is considerate enough to prepare this thing and let us see the real-time surveillance footage of the rooms to save us the trouble of squeezing our way upstairs.”
Upon hearing the person’s words, Elise turned to look at the projector again with a meaningful look in her eyes. Seems like Celina intended to make my scandalous affair public. However, Celina is the star today, after all, so what’s gonna be projected on screen this time won’t be an exception either, she thought. Cleverly, she turned to look at the Saunders Residence’s servants with a kindly smile. “Sorry, but I’ve just arrived. Can you play the surveillance videos again? I really want to get a good look at such a great design!” Since Celina wants to leave no room for maneuver, I’ll get back at her and let her know what it feels like to stew in her own juice!
Upon hearing her words, Celina’s group of friends was displeased. “Why didn’t you come down earlier if you wanted to look at the rooms? Who do you think you are? Do you think you’re a big shot or something? How dare you order somebody else’s servants around?”
“Somebody’s acting all cocky after stealing the limelight. She really thinks the whole world is supposed to let her do whatever she pleases, huh?”
“That’s right. You want to look at the previous rooms, but we want to study the later ones. You arrived later than we did, so you’ve got to wait!”
The guest who had cared about Elise just now wanted to speak up for her, but he dared not start a war of words at the Saunders Family. Therefore, he could only sigh to himself while watching the group of ladies bully Elise.
Just then, Kenneth’s voice rang unexpectedly. “Sorry for being late.” As his voice sounded, he came over as well.
The onlookers silently made way for him as if his standing was comparable to that of the party’s host.
Kenneth said modestly, “Sorry, but no one told me about such a wonderful show. As it happens, I have a new house in the suburbs that’s to be renovated. May I have the pleasure of enjoying the work of one of the top interior designers in the world from the very beginning?”
Upon hearing his words, the ladies who had just given Elise a hard time immediately shifted their tone. “Of course, you can watch the videos if you want to, Mr. Bailey. Who’s the one in charge of switching the footage? Hurry up and show the videos all over again!”
“That’s right. Mr. Bailey has to deal with a lot of matters every day. It’s rare that he has such leisure time, so we mustn’t let him go home in disappointment!”
“Come over and have a seat, Mr. Bailey!”
The ladies moved their butts at the same time to free up the seats next to them.
“No, I’m good.” Kenneth quickly put on a cold front without taking a glance at the ladies. “I’d prefer standing. Standing can help one keep a clear head and a quick wit. I’d rather be standing than sitting while saying a bunch of petty remarks.”
As soon as he finished his sentence, the guests standing around them immediately chuckled to themselves in a low voice. Obviously, Kenneth was mocking the ladies for being too small-minded to be presentable in public.
The ladies instantly blushed with shame while biting their lips. In an instant, they felt like they were sitting on pins and needles; they didn’t know whether to stand up or to keep on sitting.
Celina was so excited that her breathing quickened. Has Kenneth been waiting for me? Fearing that this was a dream, she pinched herself without anyone else noticing. “Hiss…” She gasped in pain. The next moment, though, a feeling of exhilaration swept through her. This isn’t a dream! Kenneth and I are really in the same room!
The expression on “Kenneth’s” face wasn’t much different from hers. Edwin—who was being mistaken for Kenneth—met Celina’s misty eyes as soon as his vision cleared a little. Just as he was about to ask Celina why she was here, she walked up to him first.
At this moment, her beautiful eyes were filled with deep affection, admiration, and ardent love. This was the first time Celina had ever looked at Edwin with such a look in her eyes, and he was somewhat dazed at the sight of this.
Trying her best to control her excitement, Celina asked shyly, “W-Why are you in this room?” A blush of shyness spread from her neck to her ears while her eyes flickered, making her look very adorable and seductive.
Edwin was confused. Why would Celina ask about something she already knows? I’m here because she has arranged for me to be here, of course.
Just as he was about to explain it, Celina wrapped her arms around his waist, pressing her dainty body to his.
Edwin’s legs went weak when he felt the soft touch on his chest. After nervously swallowing a mouthful of saliva, he plucked up his courage and hugged Celina in return. As he tightened his arms around her, he began to relax. Slowly, he smelled the pleasant scent on Celina, which sent the blood pulsing through his veins. “Nana…” he called out to her tenderly, “do you know how long I’ve been waiting for this moment?” Now that his dream was coming true, he suddenly felt somewhat insecure.
The next instant, however, he heard Celina say in a sweet and gentle voice, “Sorry that I used to be immature. There were many times when I made you unhappy, but I meant well for you, actually; it’s just that I often caused more harm than good. I thought you hated me…”
