A Graduation Gift

Chapter 41 Bring A Mistress To The Party

The party was held at a five-star hotel in G City. It was no ordinary party. This one was the biggest celebration ever hosted by the hotel. Everyone present was either enjoying the free-flowing wine or busy having small chit-chats. The atmosphere in the hall was starting to get overwhelming. The night was still young, but the hall was already crowded with guests who were enjoying the soft music in the background. Dressed in designer clothes, everyone was flaunting themselves to meet new acquaintances.

The party was a celebration of the success of a recent project which had made a huge profit for the Tang Group. The big win was the reason behind the smiles of almost everyone attending the party.

Instrumental piano music echoed in the big hall as Rufus entered the hall. Looking great in his jet-black tailored suit, he had all the reason to be happy. He was the one in charge of the project and played a crucial role in gaining that huge profit.

His dramatic entrance made every head turn towards his direction. He always fancied the color black, for him it was elegant and mysterious at the same time. Wearing one this evening made him look bolder and superior. There was a serious look on his well-sculptured face that made every woman in the room swoon at his sight.

Since he became the CEO of the Tang Group, one could say that he became famous overnight. There was no doubt that the handsome and mysterious CEO had turned out to be the newest, sought-after, bachelor in G City.

"Mr. Luo is really an excellent CEO. You must be proud as his father, Mr. Tang,"

One of the shareholders of the Tang Group said to Horace, congratulating him for having such a remarkable son.

Everybody knew that Rufus was Horace's son out of wedlock. But no one dared to point it out. As shareholders, they were all wise enough to keep their mouths shut. Obviously, Horace wouldn't be glad if they would call Rufus a bastard.

"Rufus is still very young and has a lot to learn from you guys,"

Horace replied, but he just couldn't hide his proud smile hearing the shareholder's words. He was aware of how competent his son was, and extremely proud that Rufus made the cooperation plan worked. It was indeed a very smart idea to make him the CEO.

After exchanging a few more words with the shareholders, Horace looked around the hall. He seemed to be looking for someone. His eyes shone with excitement as soon as he spotted Rufus, who was sitting by the bar, drinking. He excused himself from the shareholders and made his way to his son.

"There you are, Rufus, my son! What a successful cooperation plan. Thanks to you and Cassandra,"

Horace acclaimed when he stood beside his son, giving him a gentle pat on the back. In fact, he rarely had a chance to be alone with Rufus. He had two glasses of wine in his hands, and gestured for Rufus to take one.

Hearing his voice, Rufus raised his head and took the glass from Horace's hand and politely took a sip.

"It's a good decision not to give the task to Lionel. He couldn't have achieved it well as you did. I am really proud of you, Rufus."

In the binge of being drunk, Horace was more talkative than usual. He had patted Rufus' on the back for several times now and the smile on his face could never seem to cease.

Rufus was just silent all this time. In fact, he didn't have anything to say to his father. He was still holding a grudge against him. Especially after his mother's death, he felt nothing for his so-called father except hatred.
