Bye, My Irresistible Love
Chapter 358: Windfall
Scarlett‘s POV:
The car soon arrived at the hotel. Charles was the first to disembark from the car. Meanwhile, I was sitting in the backseat, staring out the window and looking at the gate surrounded by media personnel. And as I looked at them all, I felt reluctant to leave the car.
Most of the guests today were celebrities, some of whom I‘d only seem on the news before.
I wondered if I could actually handle being at an occasion such as this one.
The following moment, the car‘s door opened up and a hand reached out to me from outside. Seeing it made my heart skip a beat.
“Come, hold my hand and be careful on your way out.”
Charles was standing right in front of me with his back towards the light. His hand was suspended in midair, and he wore a stoic expression.
Reporters and paparazzi were squeezing their way past each other, and moving in on us like hounds. Fortunately, the bodyguards stopped them before they could get any closer. The only thing visible in Charles‘ eyes from the start until the very end was my reflection.
‘This is a show... It‘s just theatrics.‘
Gradually, I calmed down and held Charles‘ hand. He gripped my hand the moment I touched his, and shielded my head with his other hand.
While I was holding his hand, I showed up in front of everyone wearing a bright smile, and I nodded at the media personnel as a greeting.
“Charles, Scarlett, you‘re finally here. I‘ve been standing her for too long that my legs have started to hurt. Come on! Help me greet our guests. Lawrence and I will go inside and say hello to the other guests.”
Alice waved at us and welcomed us warmly. Upon our arrival at the gate, she held Lawrence‘s arm and they walked into the hall, leaving me and Charles staring at each other.
“Please, do her this favor. After all, it‘s Grandpa‘s birthday. As part of the younger generation, it‘s our duty to welcome the guests,” Charles whispered in my ear.
Indeed, it was my duty to welcome guests for Michael.
I didn‘t object to the task at hand and stayed outside in the cold breeze along with Charles to greet the guests.
