Chapter 91
The moment Tina heard Cindy’s voice, she stopped in her tracks and immediately hid behind the door
John replied with a casual tone, “Miss Young, Mr. Langford. Good evening.”
‘Sh*t, Samuel’s here too!’ Tina was horrified.
She patted her chest, feeling her heart hammering against it. She was relieved she didn’t show herself just now. If she did, she was sure she would suffer a terrible fate!
In the corridor, Cindy wrapped her arm around Samuel’s while greeting John with a sweet smile.
“It’s such a coincidence to meet you here! Today is Samuel’s birthday. Do you want to celebrate with us?”
“Today’s your birthday?” John sounded surprised.
“Yes. At first, Samuel wasn’t keen on the idea of a birthday party because of his grandmother’s recent health condition. However, I managed to persuade him to have dinner with some of our friends today as a small celebration.”
Cindy’s casual tone implied that she and Samuel had an intimate relationship, and that she had a special place in Samuel’s heart.
Mr. Carter, who are you here with today? Let’s all celebrate Samuel’s birthday together,” Cindy said, while looking inside the private lounge.
Tina held her breath. Fortunately, John knew she wasn’t keen on meeting them. He lied, “I was having dinner with a friend just now, but she had already left.”
“Really, Samuel doubted his words.
At the end of the day, John was only here to search for his long lost sister. Given his tight
chedule, he wouldn’t have the ume to go around making friends.
Aller all, knowing more people will also increase my chances of finding my sister,” John patched up his lie
Soon enough, John left with them
Tina perked out At first, she wanted to take the chance to flee, but everyone was still talking in the ball it didn’t seem like they would be leaving anytime soon
Leaving her with no choice, shehid in the lounge and wated with red eyes.
A lot of people with high social sundings in Freesta had gathered in the hall to celebrate Samuel’s birthday
Cindy isted like Samuel’s wife as she wrapped her arms around his while greeting the guests. She even set up a champagne tower
Tina could hear the waitresses gossiping from outside,
“Now that I’ve seen it with my own eyes, Miss Young and Mr Langford really do look compatible as a couple!”
“You’re right. I wonder when they’ll get married!” “I’m sure someone as powerful as Mr. Langford won’t settle with just any woman. What’s more, it’s obvious that Miss Young is always by his side. Nobody will dare to interfere with their relationship!”
“However, rumor has it that there’s a third person in their relationship…” “Seriously? I wonder who that shameless b*tch is!”
Hiding in the lounge, Tina didn’t feel good about being called a b*tch at all. Although she wanted to defend herself, she still couldn’t find the right reason. After all, it was true that she had ulterior motives when she first approached Samuel.
Sulking, she made a vow to herself, and that was to get away from Samuel as far as possible. If not, her future would only be filled with dread and misery. Without realizing it, she dozed off.

Bam!

All of a sudden, an ear-splitting noise exploded from afar.
She woke up with a start, only to see that the crowd had left for the backyard to enjoy the fireworks.
Samuel and Cindy were standing amongst the crowd, with their arms locked on one another. At this moment, Tina couldn’t deny that they looked really good together. She got out of the room and realized that everyone, the waitresses included, had gathered in the backyard. She heaved a sigh of relief. ‘I can finally go home!’
Tina grabbed the hems of her dress and rushed downstairs. Just when she was about to leave, footsteps echoed from behind her. Shocked, she accidentally twisted her ankle.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
