Chapter 21 - Relationship

Emily strode to Marquise, grabbing his sleeves, "My sister is looking for you! Come on!"

She was then about to take him out.

"Hey, wait a moment!" Marquise stopped her and cast an embarrassed smile at Sydnee. "She got it wrong. I have nothing to do with her sister. I only know her brother. We were classmates."

But Emily didn't let go of him. She blinked with her bright eyes, showing her stubbornness.

She succeeded in attracting the attention of the guests around. Noticing Emily's pitiful look, they whispered and wondered what the hell Marquise did to this pretty girl.

Marquise had no choice but to compromise. He whispered to Emily, "Why is your sister looking for me?"

"She's there." Emily pointed at the lounge behind her.

Marquise found it useless to ramble with a retard, so he patted his trousers and said, "Alright, I'll go with you."

He gave a polite smile at Sydnee before leaving, "Miss Sydnee, I'll be back soon."

If Emily didn't know his true personality, she might just be deceived by his gentle look.

Sydnee didn't say anything and replied with a gentle smile. Her upbringing had her keep a polite distance from a man. But today, she had defied it by dancing with Marquise.

Different from her, who was of few words, Marquise was an elegant and handsome man who spoke with fervor and assurance. She was longing to be a person like him. Although she could not say that she liked him, she was attracted to him. Besides, he looked powerful and vigorous while dancing, offering her a sense of security.

Standing still, Sydnee was reminded of what Marquise said to her before leaving. Hesitant, she saw the time. She should go home now.

Suddenly, the guests quietly assembled towards the lounge, where Emily had led Marquise to.

Sydnee couldn't help but follow them.

To be honest, she was also curious about the relationship between Marquise and Elsie.

Elsie always presented herself as a gentle woman, but Sydnee had seen her lose her temper and knew that she was a girl with two faces. That was why Sydnee had distanced herself from Elsie.

However, most of Elsie's classmates were invited over today, and Sydnee had received the invitation as well. Her grandfather told her to get along with peers, saying it would do good to her.

So, she came with a present. But obviously, Elsie didn't like her. From the moment she showed up until now, Elsie had not even greeted her. Elsie's brother Eliot was the one that greeted her and offered her wine to thank for her coming.

She followed the crowd. Suddenly, her heart wrenched. Somehow, she felt what happened next would have something to do with her.

Emily led Marquise to the lounge, then pointed at the door, "She is inside."

Marquise nodded and knocked on the door.

Hearing a knock, Elsie thought it was Susan who had finished handling that dress and delivered it here. So, she just put the blanket aside and swung the door open in her underwear.

When the door opened, shocked as Marquise was, he couldn't help but stare at her for a while.

Elsie turned around with a scream. She was probably too frightened to close the door. Instead, she went to pick up the blanket on the ground and fell in such a hurry.

Her scream stroke Marquise. He turned around and saw that many guests rushing over as they heard the noise....
