Chapter 22: Kingsley’s “Affection”
Chapter 22: Kingsley’s “Affection”
“Eh, how come Kingsley is also there?” Maureen was obviously a little surprised.
Not only Maureen, but Gianna was also confused.
Before she thought about it carefully, the staff member sent a custom-made crown that Gianna ordered before.
The one embedded in the crown was the sapphire that Kingsley bid with 30 million yuan. At this moment, it seemed even more dazzling against the other transparent diamonds!
“Oh my god, this is too beautiful!” Maureen was instantly attracted by the crown in front of her.
Gianna was also stunned.
Although this crown was designed by her and she had imagined that it should be very beautiful, the moment she saw the real thing, it really exceeded her expectations.
“At that time, I was thinking this sapphire was good-looking but I didn’t expect it to be so good.” Maureen was intrigued so much that she almost drooled, “When do you plan to wear it? Don’t tell me you will wear it on your wedding day.”
“You have an overactive imagination. This is to be given to my mom for her birthday banquet tomorrow,” Gianna replied.
That was why she said Kingsley had already given a birthday gift.
“Oh, I almost forget tomorrow is your mom’s birthday.” Maureen just remembered, “Your mom’s usual wear is too plain, she must be stunning tomorrow!”
“Yeah.” When Gianna thought of the banquet tomorrow, her lips also could not help but curl into a smile.
She could totally imagine how beautiful her mother would be tomorrow.
“Wow! Mr. Walker is so handsome!” A subtle exclaiming voice suddenly sounded in the VIP room.
Gianna and Maureen were attracted by the voice.
They turned their heads to look at the attendant standing on the side who was currently staring at the TV screen and apparently got a big crush.
Probably she was too focused on watching and she forgot that she was still at work.
“Ahem,” another attendant deliberately reminded.
The attendant hastily regained her senses and apologised, “I’m sorry, it’s mainly because Mr. Walker is really too handsome, I’m really sorry.”
“This guy is indeed quite handsome.” Maureen also gazed at the TV screen and chatted with the attendant.
“The rumours about him before were that he always loafed around and only picked up girls. Now, suddenly seeing him in a suit and standing on the lectern and presenting a formal speech that is even a roast, my perception of him is simply overturned.” The attendant quickly expressed her emotions.
“I didn’t know this guy is so talented! Has he changed his personality?” Maureen wondered, “Gina, what do you think?”
Gianna was looking at the crown. She was carefully watching to see if there were any flaws.
As it was someone important to her, she could not be sloppy.
When she heard Maureen call her at this moment, she responded, “Maybe he has gone crazy.”
“…” Maureen felt what Gianna said was right.
Kingsley was totally not like someone who was going to get into politics. Perhaps his actions today were just a whim to get himself some fun.
When Maureen started thinking this way, she heard Kingsley said, “For my participation today, I guess many people will think that I’m just here to have fun. It is undeniable that I used to have a bad reputation. But, I can tell you very responsibly that I take this selection very seriously and have been preparing for it for a long time. As for why I have changed so much…”
Everyone was so looking forward to Kingsley’s speech.
Not knowing if it was because that his voice was too pleasant or he was just too handsome.
There was a magic power that would make people pay full attention.
Even Maureen who could hardly concentrate was also so obsessed to look at him.
Let alone the attendant who apparently got a big crush on him. She probably again forgot that she was still working.
Gianna originally really did not want to put her attention on Kingsley.
She had seen Kingsley’s current appearance.
She had seen him in a suit and his matured appearance. So, she was not that interested.
However, because of the suspense in his words, she looked up and stared at him.
She stared at him who was full of confidence on the screen.
Kingsley said, “The reason that I have had such a big change is that an important person has appeared in my life. She can influence me to make me want to become an outstanding person.”
As he said, he suddenly looked at a camera.
The screen was switched to another scene and was now displaying his front face.
Kingsley’s handsome face was zoomed in on the TV screen.
Even though it was zoomed in, in the live TV broadcast without filters, his skin was still so good that it would make everyone jealous.
He stared at the front.
It looked like he was looking people in front of the TV screen in the eye.
Gianna had to admit that she was captivated by Kingsley’s attractive eyes and she could not take her eyes off him.
It was as if he was looking at her.
He paused for a few seconds and said again, “You should know that I’m talking about you.”
Gianna’s heart thumped wildly against her chest.
At this moment, she even felt that Kingsley was not on the TV, but right in front of her. NôvelDrama.Org © content.
Otherwise, how could it be so real?
How could it be so real that it was as if he was really talking to her?
The person mentioned by him was her…
“Jeez! Is Kingsley confessing to me?!” Maureen suddenly roared.
So, she was not the only one who had this illusion.
It was likely that all the women watching him in front of the TV at this moment felt that they were confessed.
Gianna regained her presence of mind.
At this moment, the scene was switched. The screen was showing the full figure of Kingsley. He finished his speech, bowed deeply, straightened his body upright and left the lectern.
A round of applause sounded in the scene.
It was an affirmation of his speech.
Gianna withdrew her attention and listened to Maureen muttering, “I finally understand now why Kingsley has so many women. Even I myself, who grew up with many handsome men staying around me, also find it hard to control myself, let alone those sluts! This man is simply too bewitching!”
“Who is the important person mentioned by Mr. Walker? Could it be that Mr. Walker has really met his true love and is willing to give up the chance of flirting with other women just because of a woman and even make himself even better because of her,” the attendant said with a face full of envy.
“No such person.” Gianna spoke in an indifferent tone, “It is just to convince people that he is doing this thing seriously. Otherwise, who believes that he suddenly starts doing good things?”
“Does Ms. Morris mean that this is an approach used by Mr. Walker to make people believe him?” the attendant quickly asked.
“I guess so.” Gianna was indifferent.
“Is that so?” The attendant was only partially convinced by her.
But Maureen suddenly looked at Gianna very seriously.
Upon being stared at, Gianna felt freaked out.
“Do you have eye cramps?” Gianna frowned.
“Why do I suddenly feel that Kingsley is not lying?” Maureen looked Gianna in the eye with a face as if she was scrutinising her.
Gianna turned her head away.
“Thinking about it carefully, he gave her sapphire and also promised to free her from the marriage…”
“Caesar has started giving his speech.” Gianna directly interrupted Maureen.
Maureen held back.
She kept feeling that there was something fishy between these two people.
Their relationships were certainly not as simple as meeting each other once casually!
Could it be that at some point that she did not know, these two people had already…pledged to get married without the permission of parents?!
