Chapter 35: Mini event I
Chapter 35
The hotel’s grand lounge buzzed with low music and soft, rich laughter in the hall. Warm golden lights hung from the ceiling, casting a yellowish glow over the room as the clinking of glasses and murmured conversations filled the air. Waiters in black vests walked through elegantly dressed guests, balancing glasses of champagne on trays in their hands.
Katherine stood near the entrance, tablet in hand, her black satin dress hugging her curves perfectly. Her wavy hair was perfectly in a kept donut, done with hairpins, with a few strands curling gently down the side of her face while short fringe stopped above her brows.
Katherine looked poised, confident, breathtaking—like she was in charge of the mini event. Well, she was the hotel manager. She greeted guests with a professional smile and gracious nods, occasionally jotting notes on the tablet she held.
The hotel was hosting the annual event, as usual every year. It became a ritual since Mathew took over. All the guests currently in the hotel were invited, with some investors. A little get-together, making connections and getting investors.
Aaron received an invitation late—he practically received it last night. He was very sure it was either the blondie or Amanda’s doing. And there was nothing that would keep him away from this event. From staring at Katherine.
Aaron entered the hall languidly, his eyes scanned the hall, searching for only one person. He wore a sleek, black tailored suit, a new suit he told his PA to get him. A new design from the brand, which made people glance at him without even trying to hide it.
His frame was commanding effortlessly. His tie was neatly tied, and his black shoes shone and were as transparent as a bald head.
While Amanda trailed behind him, holding her beaded purse, her long black gown flared after her as she had a smile on her face—a forced, fake smile—but her smile turned sour when she noticed Aaron’s gaze.
