Time Travel to Become Your Sweetheart novel Chapter 326

Ryder took a full five minutes to calm down. He was trapped in it, unable to extricate himself. When he recovered, he immediately stood up with a cold face.

He thought Marina was shameless and seduced him at her father's birthday banquet!

The maid knocked on the door. The birthday banquet was about to begin. The maid pretended not to notice the awkward atmosphere and reminded, "Mrs. Langdon, your friends have all arrived."

"Alright, I'll be right there."

Marina answered. She walked to the dressing table after Ryder left. Her lips were swollen, and the lipstick was gone, replaced by a watery luster.

It was obvious who had done it.

Marina didn't dare to resist just now. She was a little upset about her cowardice. But her heart couldn't help trembling when facing Ryder.

In order to cover up her swollen lips, Marina changed to a red lipstick. As expected, the color improved her complexion, making the simple white dress more gorgeous.

As soon as Marina went downstairs, Lola couldn't wait to greet her and grabbed her arm. "Marina, we didn't have much time to chat the last time. What happened to you?"

Lola was only the daughter of a small entrepreneur. She was not qualified to attend the White family's banquet.

This time, she was invited because of Marina. Lola had already looked around in the crowd several times, looking for single young talents.

She had an ideal partner in her mind, Shawn. However, Shawn had a female companion beside him. Although Shawn was entertaining the guests, Lola noticed that his gaze never left his female companion.

"Besides, why are you wearing the same dress as that woman?"

Lola was shocked. She hadn't seen Marina for a while. What happened?

"Which woman?"

Having just been kissed by Ryder, Marina looked listless and asked casually.

"Who is Shawn's female companion? Why haven't I seen that woman attending other banquets? Is she the lady of some family?"

Lola got the point.

The riches in Jin City liked to hold parties and banquets to communicate. Lola couldn't attend most of it because of her family background.

"No, she's Maeve Aston, the secretary of the branch of the Duncan Group in Jin City."

The appearance of the female lead attracted the interests of all parties, and Marina spared no effort to introduce her.

"How can a little secretary wear the same dress as you. Shawn doesn't care. Isn't he the one who loves you the most?"

It was a big issue that two people wore the same dresses at the banquet. After all, the two people would be compared, and the uglier one would be embarrassed.

However, the same dress was definitely looked well on Maeve. Her clean and refreshing temperament was not inferior to Marina.

"Why did you so care about Shawn?"

Lola was straightforward. Although she was noisy, her character was not bad. She was a little different from those scoundrels who urged Marina to find young men.

Since Lola was Mary's friend, Marina didn't ignore her. Marina replied, "Shawn probably wants to pursue Ms. Aston, so he invited her here."

Then, Marina went to entertain the guests.

Marina was very nervous since she had never participated in such occasions. She did her best to learn from other socialites and conduct herself more appropriately.

"Marina."

"I want to go upstairs to see Markus. Can you take care of Maeve for me?" Shawn waved to Marina.

"Don't worry. I'm fine."
