You Are The Pursuit of My Life novel Chapter 102

The Hayes Group in San Fetillo was regarded as a high- standing company. Their 10th Anniversary Appreciation Cocktail Party was definitely held in a grand manner. Edric, who would definitely be invited to the party, would not miss it.

The venue was Shangri- La Hotel, which belonged to the White family. As long as he greeted Nathan, things would fall into place. This time, Jordan wanted to let Edric know how powerful he was.

At the same time, Edric received the Hayes Group's invitation to attend the appreciation party. However, he was reluctant to attend it as Jordan would definitely be present at that party. When he thought about Jordan and Irene attending the party together, he felt upset.

John was not aware that Edric was upset and asked him softly, "Mr. Myers, do you want me to inform Miss Cook?"

Edric did not want to show up with Lily at all, but it was not justifiable to not bring her along to such a big occasion. After all, they were engaged. He sighed heavily. "Okay, call her."

At seven o'clock in the evening, Jordan took Irene's hand as they entered the banquet hall. Irene wore an off- shoulder minidress. Her long hair was tied behind her head; her slender and fair legs attracted the attention of countless people.

Edric stared at Jordan as he appeared with Irene, his arm around her waist. As soon as Jordan came in, his eyes scanned the hall for Edric.

When he saw Edric and Lily, he smiled menacingly. He lowered his voice and whispered in Irene's ear, "I have prepared a generous gift for Edric tonight. I hope he will be happy about it."

"What do you plan on doing?" Irene asked curiously.

"Don't you think that tonight is the perfect opportunity?" Jordan winked at Irene.

"Tonight?" Irene immediately understood what Jordan was hinting. She lowered her voice and said, "His fiancee is here; it might not be a good idea."

"Don't worry, I have made all the arrangements!" Jordan said as he walked toward Edric with Irene. The two of them greeted each other politely, as if they never had any issues between them.

Lily wore a long dress. She was tall and slim, and the dress fully outlined her sensuality. Jordan's sly eyes swept over Lily several times before he said with a faint smile, "Can we expect good news from Mr. Myers and Miss Cook soon?"

Jordan did it on purpose. Edric subconsciously looked at Irene. Irene's face was full of smiles, and any unhappiness was not apparent at all. His heart tightened a little, and he nodded his head.

"Don't forget to send an invitation card to us when the time comes," Jordan added before he saw Edric's gaze on Irene.

"We'll definitely invite you, Mr. Reed," Lily replied with a beam.

At that moment, some people who knew them stepped in. Jordan stopped their conversation and warmly chatted with the others. The third son of the Hayes family, Edward Hayes, also came with a female celebrity.

Edward had a good relationship with Jordan, and he managed to catch some of Jordan's conversations with Edric and Lily a while ago. He interrupted, saying, "Mr. Myers and Miss Cook will soon be celebrating a baby I suppose. Jordan, you should do the same. Hurry up and propose to Miss Nelson before she's taken by someone else."

"Isn't she safely in my arms now?" Jordan held Irene's waist tightly and looked at Edric, challenging him. Although Edric had a faint smile on his face, he wanted nothing more than to tear Jordan's grip on Irene.

A waiter came over with a few glasses of wine. Jordan reached out and took two glasses of wine; one for Irene, and one for himself. Edric also reached out to take two glasses, and handed one to Lily. At that moment, the waiter suddenly lost his footing and fell to the ground. The wine in the glasses on the tray splashed onto Edric and Lily.

Lily had been splashed with wine on her head and face. Even her hair was wet, too. The white dress was dyed red; Lily looked rather startled. Edric was slightly better, but the suit he wore was stained with wine, too. His face flushed with slight vexation, but he did not lose his temper due to the occasion.

Jordan heard the sound and turned around. He looked at the scene gloatingly. Edward's expression changed; he glared at the waiter and barked, "What are you doing? Why did you make such a mess?"

The manager of the hotel came over in a hurry and apologized to Edric. "I'm very sorry, Mr. Myers!"

Jordan drawled, "Apologies don’t fix anything.

Look at what happened to Miss Cook!"

Lily felt extremely embarrassed, being the centre of attention with so many people staring. She did not want to stay at the party at all. Thus, she looked at Edric, saying, "Edric..." She meant to ask him to send her home.

Edward was also irate, but his anger could not change anything. Edric was of special status. He could not leave right away just like that, when he had just arrived. Edward looked at Jordan and asked, "Jordan, do you have any spare clothes for Mr. Myers?"

Everyone knew that Jordan's car contained many suits. The main point was that he was about the same size as Edric. Jordan giggled at Edward's question.

"Yes, I just bought a suit a few days ago and placed it in my car. If you don't mind, Mr. Myers, you can change into it." Then, he took a meaningful look at Lily.

"I also have a dress in my car. If you don't mind, Miss Cook, you can change into it as well! I just don't know if it fits you or not."

The spare dress in Jordan's car must have been prepared for young celebrities. Lily certainly would not allow herself to wear them given her prestigious status. Hence, she refused his offer, "Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Reed. I'd better go home and change."

Edward apologized repeatedly and asked the driver to send Lily home. Since Edward had taken the initiative to find a replacement suit for Edric, Edric had to let this one slide to spare Edward the embarrassment. However, he couldn't help feeling the waiter's behavior was a little strange.

Edric looked at Jordan's mischievous face, being quite sure that Jordan had done it on purpose. He wanted to know what Jordan intended to do. Therefore, he chose not to leave the party, but change into Jordan's suit instead.

The party continued. Edric changed his clothes and returned to the party. Edward came to toast him and said some words of apology. It would be inappropriate for Edric to reject Edward, therefore he downed a glass of wine.
