The Perfect Thief novel Chapter 119

Chapter 0119 Chapter 0119 Judys POV The Gala was just as beautiful as I imagined ; it was also incredibly crowded .

The moment our limo pulled up to the front entrance where everyone was lined up to get inside , the paparazzi were all over us .

Flashes of light nearly blinded me , and Walter had to take my hand and guide me through the doorway .

kept asking questions about what Irene was wearing and when they got a look at me , one of them recognized Ella Venutis design and started to ask me questions about it too .

The 1 I opened my mouth to answer them about where I got the dress , but Irene stopped me .

You dont want to talk to the press , she whispered .

They are nasty buggers and will twist anything you say .

I bit my lip and nodded .

We walked over to the security guards at the entrance , Ethan pulled out the invites for him and Irene .

The security guard looked at them for a moment before nodding and stepping aside for them to enter .

Walter handed the security guard our tickets next , and he looked them over before nodding and stepping aside from us as well .

Walter offered me his arm and I smiled thoughtfully as I took it .

The music was loud , and everybody was wearing dazzling gowns and suits ; I couldnt recognize anybody behind the masks , but I wasnt sure if Id be able to recognize anyone regardless .

This place is amazing , I breathed , staring up at the light streamers that danced across the ceiling .

Its beautiful .

First time at the Gala ? Walter asked , giving me a questionable look .

I nodded .

Is it that obvious ? I asked , feeling my cheeks warm under his scrutiny .

I guess its a new experience for us both then , he admitted .

I looked at him surprised .

Youve never been before either ? He shrugged causally .

Not to an American one , he told me .

Ive been to a few Galas in France , but nothing quite like this .

Im also way too busy with work , so I dont go out often .

So , what are we supposed to do at these things besides stand here and look pretty ? I asked , teasingly .

He smirked .

We drink and mingle with the rich , he replied .

When I chuckled , he grinned .

Can I get you a drink ? That would be great , I told him .

Anything besides champaign .

You arent a fan ? Chapter 01.19 Not really , I answered .

He nodded thoughtfully .

Ill make sure to remember that , he said , winking before he turned and walked towards the bar .
