Chapter 57 - Period

It was not even noisier than when the swindlers appeared. Now everyone at the door was shouting. Emily couldn't catch what they said. She only saw limousines pulling over, and the navy one was covered with cartoon girl posters. Then, the door was opened. A man, who wore sunglasses and was holding a folding fan, got off. He opened his fan, on which there were two words: super popular.

“....”

A self-centered man. Emily had met this guy. He was Vincent's friend.

In no time at all, a deluge of people was gathering at the door, blocking Emily's view. However, she didn't care, with her eyes still on Elsie and Beverly.

They were sitting there but dying to see who the important person was. Elsie shouted in surprise and delight, "Mr. Vincent is here?"

Hearing this, Beverly showed a serious face. She felt upset when recalling that Vincent had "tricked" her into giving him 500,000. So, she didn't want to be involved with him anymore.

She told Elsie, "Don't cause trouble. Just finish eating and go."

Elsie knew that she was going to marry into the Buckley family. Although she hadn't been one of them, the people in City Y all knew what happened. She kept pretending that she didn't care, but she did care. Every time she came out and someone stared at her, she believed that they were making fun of her behind her back.

The waiters lined up to welcome the important person. As the door was pulled open, a guard went first and moved everything in the way. Then, the men behind him went inside under his protection.

The man in the lead was wearing a pure black coat. He walked with confidence, his long legs in the suit pants straight and strong. With the black gold buttons of his black shirt to his neck, he looked dignified, aloof, and dashing. The shirt was tight on his chest for the tough and strong muscles. With his sharp eyebrows twisting a little, he pursed his thin lips in a tight manner. When he tilted his head, his jawlines were obvious.

Noah's appearance brought noise and excitement to the people. However, this man's face stopped everyone that was speaking.

There was quietness. No, it was silence.

When Noah arrived, there were eight bodyguards and his gorgeous sister with him, and people were raising the roof. However, the moment Vincent entered the hotel, everyone forgot about Noah.

Vincent projected a high-wattage aura. His eyes were so cold that he didn't look like a real human. As he walked, everyone around him was feeling tense. Behind him, Ferne and Randy waved their hands as if they were walking on a red carpet. They even made a heart shape with their fingers. When the guards saw this, the corner of their mouth twitched.

Only after they entered the hotel did the crowd dare to say, "Is it Mr. Vincent?"

"Yes! Didn't you see Mr. Ferne behind him?"

"Right! There's also Randy. He's a huge ACG fan...."

"My God! The phone game I'm playing seems to be produced by his company!"

"Why didn't you pay attention to that one from a long line of collectors...?"

"Who is it? Who are you talking about? The last one?"

Randy poked Armando in the arm, "Someone recognizes you. Let's hear what he says."

They were paying attention.

The man continued, "It's him. His father collects all kinds of relics of various dynasties. His family is rich. But he just collects cups. How much do you think a cup is worth? And he's running a shop and exhibits his cups for free. The shop and the employees must cost him a lot of money. I don't know what these rich people are thinking...."

Hearing this, Randy patted Armando's shoulder, "I know the feeling. Too much money, right? Leave it to me. I can spend the money for you."

Armando was speechless.

Elsie noticed what happened. Her eyes gleamed with excitement when she saw Vincent. If Noah was the one whom she would get butterflies for, then Vincent was the one who she could never get even if she was crazy about him.

With her eyes telling Elsie not to speak to Vincent, Beverly got up and flashed Elsie a look. They took their handbags and was going home.

They sat by the window. As they walked out, the people including Vincent were coming in and saw them. So, they moved to the side, waiting for the people to go first.

Out of the blue, the people all stopped.

Emily was going to leave and meet up with Harold. Seeing Elsie stop, she sat at a dining table and picked up the menu to cover half of her face, showing only her eyes to watch. However, she saw a pair of deep eyes on her. She paused, moved the menu to show the lower half of her face, and then smiled at him. For fear of being seen by Elsie and Beverly, she covered her face right away.

The man raised his eyebrows, feeling warmer, 'When I first met this girl, she claimed that she had been drugged by her sister. She couldn't be having dinner here with them today.'

Vincent looked up and flashed Elsie a look. Seeing that the back of Elsie's dress was red, he understood.

'What a mischievous girl!'

Elsie blushed at Vincent's interested gaze. She said in a high-pitched voice, "Mr. Vincent."

Seeing that Vincent didn't show any disgust, Beverly also said, "Vincent, are you here for dinner? Then we'll see ourselves out." She pulled Elsie away.

Ferne and Randy walked over and noticed that Vincent was staring at Elsie with a weird face. They also looked at her and saw the redness.

Randy burst into laughter, "Hey! Miss!"

Ferne reminded Randy, "It's Miss Elsie."

Hearing someone calling her, Elsie felt delighted and bashful. She turned around and asked, "Did you call me?"

Ferne stepped forward and tossed her a tablecloth.

Elsie asked in confusion, "What...?"

Ferne was married, so he said in a blunt way, "Are you on your period? Your dress is red. Take this to cover it."

Period?

Cover....

There was only the word "cover" in Elsie's mind. Before she figured out what Ferne meant, she heard Beverly shout, "What did you just sit on?"

Elsie looked back at her dress, "I was sitting on the chair.." she screamed, covering her butt. "What's going on? Mom! What's happened?"
