Chapter 15 Trying to Go Further
As she thought about it, Abby couldn't help raising her head again. She looked in the direction from the corner of her eyes and found that Edward was no longer there. "Phew... It's really a coincidence."
Abby patted her chest and heaved a sigh of relief.
Unexpectedly, a gentle voice came from the side. "Are you looking for me?"
This voice was familiar to Abby. However, when she suddenly heard it from such a close distance, her heart skipped a beat.
Turning around, she saw Edward standing beside her with a faint fragrance.
He looked at her with a gentle smile.
Abby was stunned and her heart beat faster. She stammered and said uncertainly, "Senior... are... are you talking to me?"
"Of course, there are only you and me here."
Edward gave her a dazzling smile.
Abby flushed and couldn't say a word.
She was very nervous.
Seeing that she was a little embarrassed, Edward had to ask first, "Do you mind if I sit down? Abby?"
"Of... of course not, please."
Abby answered with some uneasiness. Only after a while did she realize what had happened. She mustered up her courage and looked back at him. "Eh? You know my name, Senior Kent?"
"Yes."
Edward sat down next to her with a smile. Then, he smiled slowly and said, "You've always been at the top of the list in the past two years. Your name is very special. I think no one will forget it if they see it."
"Ah-l see."
Abby understood and was about to say something when Edward continued, "Moreover, I know that you secretly took photos of me when I was in class."
Abby was speechless.
She was full of shock, and then she was embarrassed.
She didn't expect that this secret, which only she knew, would have been revealed by Edward himself a long time ago.
There shouldn't be a secret admirer who was more defeated than her, right?
"Sorry... I'm sorry."
Abby apologized in a panic. "I'm really sorry for causing you trouble, I..."
"It doesn't matter. Since I've discovered it, it can't be called as a sneak shot. Therefore, it can't be considered a trouble."
Edward took a sip of the champagne in his hand and looked at her with a chuckle. "Well, I thought you liked me, but you seemed to have been avoiding me all the time. I couldn't help coming over." Hearing that, Abby's cheeks turned red.
Actually, she was shy and timid.
Who knew if she would be rejected?
"You look beautiful tonight."
At this time, Edward suddenly changed the topic.
Abby was a little surprised. After a long pause, she said in a low voice, "Thank you!"
Abby was very happy. She was praised by a man she had liked for many years. The joy almost made her flutter.
This... Maybe was touched.
"Well, maybe you feel awkward but I still want to ask you, do you dislike me?"
Abby was surprised. "No, how could it be?"
"So, you like me?"
Abby was speechless.
The question was so direct that Abby couldn't answer it for a while.
"If you don't speak, I just take it as a tacit consent." Edward looked at her and could not help but smile. "The people you like talk to you, but you have such a reaction. Abby, you are so contradictory." Abby was speechless.
In fact, she didn't feel awkward at all. She suddenly faced someone she had been secretly in love with for a long time, so she reacted like this.
Besides, he would suddenly come over. Therefore, it was a big blow to her!
"All right, I won't joke with you anymore. But I still hope that next time I see you, don't avoid me, okay?"
Speaking of this, Edward had already stood up. He stared at her with his clean eyes, waiting for her to answer him.
Abby was a little confused. "What... do you mean?"
"It means that I want to make friends with you and even go a step further."
After rubbing Abby's hair with a smile, Edward had already turned around and walked away.
Abby sat there, staring at his back in a daze. It had been a long time...
However, it was only during the time when Abby and Edward were chatting. In the center of the banquet hall, Richard witnessed everything. Abby was in her prime, with shy face. And she looked pure and attractive.
Richard looked at her with no expression on his face. It cannot be seen whether he was angry or not. He pursed his thin lips and looked calm. The banquet was still going on, and Edward left for a long time. At this time, Abby came to her senses.
Then, a faint smile finally appeared. She felt happy.
The charming man, who she had been secretly in love for a long time, said that he wanted to make friends with her and wanted to go a step further...
"Yeah, it's really Abby. I thought I was wrongly just now."
Just as Abby was giggling, a disgusting voice suddenly sounded in her ears.
Abby turned her head and saw that it was a woman about the same age as her. The woman was wearing a full tube and dress, which made her breasts snow-white and sexy.
At this time, she walked over with a man in a suit, with a proud smile on her face.
"Wendy."
Abby frowned and her mood darkened.
"Abby. You're too canny. You were arranged to be a member of the etiquette team this afternoon while you attend this banquet tonight."
From Wendy's words, Abby could feel her sarcasm.
Abby ignored her.
Wendy was her enemy at school. Not only did she make enemies with her everywhere, but she also liked to belittle to find a sense of superiority.
In short, it had been a long time since they had clashed. Now that they had met here, Abby could guess that Wendy was probably mocking her again. Suddenly, she lost interest in sitting here. "I'm bored."
Abby rolled her eyes and finished the cake. Then, she put down the plate and stood up to leave.
But how could Wendy let her go so easily?
Wendy immediately blocked Abby's way with her body. With a sneer on her face, she said, "I heard that you went out of school with the investor in the afternoon? I didn't expect that you would be so open- minded. I thought you were pure."
With this, Wendy couldn't help smacking her lips and shaking her head. "But you still were a nobody."☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
