Chapter 103: Truth Or Dare
Victoria walked with Matthias around the venue, which was attended by high-society guests. This was what made Victoria still a little nervous. Even though she had heard Matthias’ motivational speech, she still felt unworthy of attending this party. What was making her so insecure? Because she often heard the insults her stepmother often threw at her. She was fed up with her life of constant humiliation. Furthermore, now that she was friends with a perfectionist CEO, it made her feel even more stressed.
Matthias picked up a chocolate cupcake for her, making her eyes widen. "You eat this cupcake first."
Victoria also gave Matthias a strawberry cupcake. "You should eat some too."
"Thank you, Victoria. Ever since you gave me cupcakes, I’ve been loving them."
"Do you still feel awkward now after hearing what I said earlier?"
"No. I’m more confident now thanks to you. Thank you, Matthias."
"Smile, Victoria."
Victoria’s smile widened, though she felt increasingly awkward being treated so sweetly by the perfectionist CEO. She found it impossible for him to suddenly like her, even though they’d only just become friends. Besides, the perfectionist CEO had never been attracted to any woman. She wasn’t one of the women Matthias would like.
"I must smile in front of you?"
"Because you look pretty if you smile."
"Really?" Victoria tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. "Actually, no one has told me to smile all this time. They actually thought my smile was a fake smile."
"They’re really too much! Anyway, I want you to keep smiling to show your warm personality to everyone here."
