Chapter 248 - Are they.....? together
He carried her to the bed and tucked her carefully. The white webs covered the bed right from the ceiling to the floor, he made sure that the temperature is adequately cool and then went downstairs after kissing her
Jean woke up as her stomach growled with hunger. It is already noon and almost lunch time. She rubbed her eyes and then remembered about the party downstairs, but she is in no mood to go down so she went into the kitchen and made some instant noodles.
Mean while in the party...
Guests are mesmerized by the beauty and magnificence of the house. It is just the ground floor and bas.e.m.e.nt they are accessed to roam freely but it is enough for them to classify this as the most extravagant house they have ever seen.
As they excitedly looked around the house, on the same time they are waiting for Scott to arrive so the party could be officially started.
Nathan and all the other friends are indeed the center of attention. However all are busy in flirting with their own partners to bother about the people around them.
Sianna, Cassandra and their respective families are also flabbergasted by the interiors of the house. Both the girls had a big fight after the meeting in shopping mall. Now they are even more shameless and desperate to get Scott’s attention.
Though they are standing at one of the corner their eyes are endlessly searching for Scott who is at that time sleeping peacefully with his wife.
"Is my niece not invited. I didn’t see her at all" Vanessa approached Seline who is busy in chatting with Aria and Ria.
Seline rolled her eyes internally and laughed a little. "Of course, how can she not be invited. My dad himself invited her and more over she is family to us. My mom and dad pamper her a lot" she boosted up.
Vanessa smirked and looked around. "Then where is she" she shrugged her shoulders.
"Hmm.. She is exhausted so she is sleeping upstairs" Seline spoke.
Then all in sudden the chattering and whisperings halted, as the handsome man descended from the marble stairs. He is wearing maroon three piece suite and vintage blue diamonds brooch is suspended from his chest pocket. He is wearing cuff links and Rolex watch which are gifted by Jean.
He is looking as charming as ever, that most of the ladies gasped together in unison as they gawked at him. "Excuse me, flies are about to cause a rampage, I have to protect my brother otherwise my sister in law would kill me" Seline sarcastically spoke and hurried over to her brother.
Scott sighed and excused himself before rushing to his sister. "Where is Jean" she murmured softly.
"Sleeping and don’t disturb her" he warned before dragging her to their friends.
After a while the party started. As usual Scott maintained his cold and haughty personality chasing away the flies pestering him. He went upstairs to check on Jean who is in deep slumber, he couldn’t help but feel guilty for exhausting her that much. After spending almost a hour looking at her he reluctantly went downstairs.
As soon as he saw the particular person he particularly hate to his core, Scott clenched his fists and averted his gaze from him. It is Edward Wright and he is talking with some of businessmen.
"Mr. Summers it is pleasure to meet you again. Your house is a exceptional beauty" Edward smiled which didn’t reach his eyes.
Meanwhile other are stunned to core to see the king of business from Country S in the party. Moreover he is talking with his mortal enemy like they are friends. Did they patch up...
"Oh.. Mr. Wright I honestly didn’t expect you here" Scott narrowed his eyes but smiled widely.
"How can you forget Mr. Summers, I am your father’s partner in many projects. I am just paying my respect" Edward spoke casually.
"Enjoy your stay Mr. Wright" Scott greeted and went back where Raymond and Nathan are waiting for him in clenched teeth.
Seline got a phone call from Jean and she went upstairs to help her to get ready. They didn’t take the staircase as it would attract too much attention. They came downstairs by elevator and Raymond is already waiting for them in front of it.
As she entered the main hall they looked at her in pin drop silence. She is stunning and dazzling in blue color gown. If anyone pay a close attention they could find the resemblance between Scott’s accessories and Jean’s.
Susan and her husband rushed to her and gave a short hug before dragging her to eat with them. She is soon surrounded with Black, Summers and Herren families making others to look at her enviously.
She became the center of attention in a party that isn’t supposed to belong to her. But how could they ignore the fact that Summers are the one who treating her like a queen. As they decided to reveal their relationship soon they didn’t bother much to show how much they pamper her.
As the guests looked at the scene enfolded in front of them they made a mental note not to offend Jean.
"You should have slept more" Scott spoke softly. Careful not to let others notice it.
"Hmm.. Yes. Blame my fiancée" Jean shot a glare and walked away from him just to get bumped into the person Scott hate most.
Person’s who are watching her like a hawk became fascinated and started to pay more attention. Edward Wright is exactly a mirror image of Scott, he hates women who approach them with different motives.
They anticipated that he would humiliate her, and this made most of them feel content and happy. But they never thought he would be the person to apologize first.
"Ms. Grey, are you fine. I didn’t mean to" he apologized her and smiled.
"I am fine Mr. Wright" Jean spoke and walked away..
"That’s it. No casual conversation or at least greetings" he muttered.
"Then, good evening Mr. Wright. I hope you have a good day" she smiled sinisterly and continued walking away.
Others are rooted to their place after listening to the mind stuck conversation. Never they have thought Jean would have a audacity to offend this person. And walked away unharmed..
But somehow it sounded like a bickering between the lovers. Are they...?
