The banquet started. Anthony Rivers greeted a few guests and came over to look for me.
Ella Rhodes and Elena Schmidt were not far away.
Elena continued to fan the flames in Ella’s ear: “Did you see that, after Director Rivers‘ finished his work, he went over to look for
Skylar. Come over to say hi or something.”
Ella’s soft little face became distorted.
She said angrily, “Can you stop talking?”
She was so angry by Elena continuous instigation, was like a fly in her ear, angering herself over and over again.
Elena’s face was slightly embarrassing: “Alright then, I’ll go around alone first.”
Ella ignored her. Elena was unhappy in her heart, but she did not show it.
She pursed her lips into a straight line and turned to leave.
I was talking to Anthony when I saw Ella walking over with a smile: “Anthony, you and Skylar are both here.”
Anthony frowned, “Why are you here?”
Anthony had always known that the King family intended for him to marry Ella Rhodes, but he was very busy and did not have that
plan at all.
What’s more, Ella was not someone he liked. He would not marry a woman for profit.
The family’s thoughts did not represent his thoughts.
Moreover, Elena, who was Ella’s best friend, dared to embarrass me at the King family’s dinner party. This made him very angry.
Before, if it wasn’t for Ella looking for me to make jewelry custom, he probably wouldn’t have been too polite to Ella.
When Ella heard this, the smile on her face almost couldn’t hold up: “Anthony, what you said, I’m just here to apologize to Skylar. Why are you asking me that?”
Although Ella was angry, she knew what kind of person Anthony was.
This person was going to be her husband in the future. It was impossible for her to break up with Anthony because of me.
Anthony snorted coldly, “When making friends in the future, you should be careful not to treat everyone as a friend.”
Ella Rhodes smiled unnaturally: “Yes, I know.”
After she finished speaking, she looked at me and said, “Skylar, Elena has been abrupt to you before. I apologize to you. I’m sorry.”
I shook my head, “No need, this is between me and her, not you”

As I spoke, I turned around and exchanged glances with the waiter who had just walked over. I took two glasses of red wine from the other’s tray, handed one to me, and held the other.

Because Ella and the waiter’s eyes met, their backs to everyone, I did not notice anything unusual.
Ella smiled and took the initiative to clink glasses with me: “Skylar, I really like the jewelry you designed for me. No matter what, I
want to say thank you.”
After Ella finished speaking, she raised her glass and took a sip. She smiled and looked at me.
I didn’t want to lose face, so I raised my glass and took two sips.
When I saw me drinking a glass of wine, the smile on Ella’s face deepened.
She chatted with me for a few words, then took the cup and went to say hello to other friends,
Anthony was also busy, and after a while, he accompanied her mother to meet some of her best friends.
When the two of them left, Ava, who had been silent, said, “Skylar, stay away from this Ella Rhodes in the future.”
I was startled. “What’s the matter? Is there anything wrong with her? She’s just one of my clients. She’s not too close to her.”
Ava pursed her lips and said, “That’s good. Anyway, I don’t think she’s as friendly to you as she seems.”
I knew that although Ava did not like to socialize with people, her intuition was accurate.
I nodded, but did not deny it.
At this moment, a few men came over to say hello, wanting to get in contact with me and Ava.
I declined expressionlessly. I originally wanted to drag Ava and find a quiet place to stay for a while.
As soon as I turned around, I ran into Lukas, who had been here for an unknown amount of time.
Elena Schmidt and Elias were still standing beside him.
I wanted to ignore them.
However, just as I pulled Ava a step away, Lukas’s arm was pulled.
I raised an eyebrow: “Lukas”
I didn’t even get to finish calling him “Mister Strakovski” when I heard Lukas say to Elena, “She’s my companion.
