Near the banquet garden, young people paired up and gathered to chat.
Someone accidentally saw Mellisa's appearance and immediately glanced at her.
"Which family is she from? Why have I never seen her before?"
"Then this should be a first for her, right?"
"Oh, Young Master David, you know all this?"
He raised his eyebrows. "I've met everyone from the seven major families. Almost none of them are like her! She's at least 1.7 meters tall and take a look at her shoes. It's flat!"
When young males get together, it's natural for them to talk about women.
By the time Mellisa got out of the car, she was already getting a lot of attention.
"See, isn't that person the assistant who usually sits next to the Adler family's Patriarch?!"
"So that girl is from the Adler family?"
Everyone whispered to each other. When Mellisa stepped on the red carpet, everyone was staring at her. Speculation about her identity grew fiercer.
Mellisa turned a deaf ear to this, raised her hand to adjust the fox mask she was wearing, and walked up the stairs.
In the banquet hall, many women in luxurious clothes passed by.
Mellisa handed the invitation card to the maid at the door, and quickly looked at the layout of the hall after entering the door.
The two spiral staircases extended from the front to the second floor, and beside the solid wooden railing above, everyone could see that many high-ranking people were sitting together, tasting snacks and chatting.
Mellisa glanced briefly at the lobby on the first floor. Next to the buffet area, there was a sofa to rest side by side.
Perhaps because the banquet hadn't started yet, there was hardly anyone in the lounge area.
Mellisa didn't hesitate, and took a few slices of cake on the buffet table, then walked around the rest area.
When she sat down, she looked around carefully, and she didn't see Leonard's figure for the time being.
She didn't know if the man was on the first or second floor.
"Pretty girl, are you alone?"
At this moment, a low voice came from the buffet area at the rear left.
Mellisa rolled her eyes, and she saw a man in a white tuxedo.
He also wears a mask. Even though she couldn't see his true face, the evil smile from the corner of his mouth let her know his motives.
Mellisa vaguely understood the intention of the Patriarch asking her to come to the banquet.
At a masquerade, as the name suggests, everyone will wear a mask and not know each other.
This also makes sure everyone will not doubt her identity.
But she had to say that there were quite a number of the younger generations of the seven great families.
There were no less than twenty people.
Mellisa poked a small piece of cake with a fork, and calmly looked away from the man, as if ignoring him.
After seeing this, the other party was not angry, and took a seat in front of her. "Are you from the Adler family? What's your name? Is this your first time attending a grand banquet like this?"
The other party asked a few questions, and under his mask, his eyes were full of interest.
With a faint coldness in Mellisa's eyes, she continued to chew on the cake and remained silent.
The man felt neglected. The smile at the corner of his mouth hardened slightly. He kept looking for the topic. But from the entrance of the banquet hall, someone called out to him. "Reza! Come here, what are you doing there!"
Reza was surprised, so he got up and said, "Oh, is it time already?"
"Yes, come here."
At this moment, Mellisa watched Reza walk over, and then looked at the entrance of the hall, her eyes shining slightly.
She didn't know what kind of mask Leonard would wear tonight.
In the brightly lit banquet hall, could he recognize her?
After knowing each other for a long time, she had never worn such a formal and beautiful evening gown in front of him.
Mellisa subconsciously took a sitting position, straightened the fox mask on her face, and the corners of her lips inadvertently lifted.
At this time, due to Leonard's arrival, many people in the banquet hall drew closer to the entrance.
It can be seen that the position of the Adler family in Bandung is indeed superior to everyone else.
Among them, there were many beautiful women who were dressed luxuriously and walked towards the door gracefully.
Not long after, there was a noise at the door.
Surrounded by many people, Leonard suddenly appeared before Mellisa's eyes.
He walked in the front row, with two men of the same stature behind him.
Mellisa looked at him a little, then saw that the two were Luke and Lyle.
From time to time, there were whispers from the people around, seemingly very surprised by the fact that Leonard was attending the place.
"Leonard!"
In the noisy environment, someone suddenly called out to Leonard.
His tone was very subtle, but also showed a clear arrogance.
The crowd at the door dispersed and saw Lyn curled up in a long, snow-white coiled skirt.
Leonard took a step back, such a step also made Mellisa clearly catch her clothes today.
He was not wearing a mask, still in his sunglasses, and his figure was very conspicuous.
Lyn smiled and walked in front of Leonard, holding his arm in a spoiled manner. "I didn't expect you to come here today. I'm so happy."
She wears a white rabbit fur mask, combined with her snow-white evening gown, the whole of her looks very beautiful and charming.
Leonard looked down at his arm, his cold cheeks looking indifferent.
He calmly pushed away Lyn's hand, then pursed his thin lips as if displeased.
Lyn seemed to be a little sad, lowered her head and muttered. "Leonard..."
Under such circumstances, it would be very painful for her to get ignored like this.
At this moment, Leonard ignored Lyn's hypocritical ploy. He very much noticed that on the outskirts of the crowd, there seemed to be an overly intense gaze on him.
Leonard narrowed his eyes slightly, passed through the crowd, and landed near the resting area on the right side of the hall.
There sat a woman alone.
"Did the wind bring you here tonight?! I didn't expect to see you."
As Leonard's eyes fell on the resting area, Lawrence led a group of several people down the spiral staircase on the second floor.
The woman beside Lawrence was the organizer of today's party, his younger sister Imelda.
Leonard turned to look at Lawrence. "I had too much time in my hands so I guess I'll kill it here."
Lawrence looked at his glasses dimly, then shrugged his shoulders. "That's good! You've been in that house for too long. Tonight we're going to party and have fun!"
Leonard nodded, his eyes sweeping the faces around him, then pursed his lips politely.." It's really an awesome party. I haven't seen you all in a long time either!"
