Chapter 586: 586

The next day, it was finally the 31st — Diane’s party . In the biggest and one of the well-known hotels of the city was bustling .

The usual peace of the hotel was now packed with luxurious cars, media with their cameras clicking nonstop with every passing second . Understandable, Diane’s family had vast connections . Hence, the guests weren’t any ordinary people .

Be it the superstar of the entertainment industry, influential tycoons, and respectable politicians would be present . The reason the setting and the hype of this day was overwhelming .

Lexi glanced outside of their car . Scanning the area where her sight could reach, she was amused . She expected a grand celebration, but not this kind of grand .

In her eyes, Diane’s event could par those grandiose annual awards in the entertainment industry . There was a red carpet, cars lined up towards the entrance, and medias .

Although it seemed similar to the last event she attended — Mr . Tang’s event —the previous party was a little more private . The medias in that party weren’t allowed inside but this event .

But this event, they were authorized media personnel that were taking photos in the entrance . Unlike the others who were restrained by the allocated area for them, those authorized lowkey paparazzi could get all the juicy content for their headlines for tomorrow .

Not just that, but they would also get clear photos of every guests aside from the official photographers of the said event .

“Wow . . . ” thinking that Diane was amazing, Lexi could not help but gape her lips in awe . However, recognizing one of the brand of the media outlet that were authorized inside the event, Lexi scrunched her nose up .

“It’s been a while since I attended a hyped formal event — I’m a little nervous . ” She murmured as she sighed heavily .

Mr . Tang’s event was one thing as she knew the security was tough, keeping everything private . But today, Lexi knew she wouldn’t avoid the questions about her husband’s “love affair” with Laurel Wang .

After all, the rumors were still hot and even though Ethan Lu had made a move, taking down every misleading articles . However, since the rumors had escalated quickly, there would be threads and articles popping up one after another .

Still, Lexi never spoke a word about it . On the other hand, Ethan Lu only denied the rumors once without explaining more . Still, since Ethan Lu’s denial wasn’t convincing enough, Lexi’s fans were solid mad at him .

Of course, Lexi’s knowledge about how the EliXi shippers rose from the dead was beyond her reach . She didn’t want to stress herself by reading comments and sympathy because she knew the truth .

Not just that, but also, Ethan Lu asked her not to . He specifically asked her to let the rumors reach its peak so he could distinguish it at once .

Ethan Lu didn’t give out the details of his plans, but if he says so, then so be it .

Just then, Lexi phone rang, startling her out of her thoughts . Checking her phone that she was holding, the corner of her lips curled upward .

Without further ado, Lexi answered it . “Yes?”

“Bestie, didn’t you say you’d attend in Miss Huang’s party?” The instant the line connected, Rika Song’s voice came in .

“Hmm?” Knitting her brows, Lexi hummed a tune as she was confused for a moment . She knew Rika Song would also attend this event as she was invited to represent their company .

Well, the agency’s pride and number one money tree would always be Rika Song . Hence, it wasn’t surprising that she was asked to attend the event with her bosses and a few other A-list artists .

“I only saw Ethan here — where are you?” As confused as Lexi, Rika Song asked .

“What?” Furrowing her brows, Lexi was confused . She knew Ethan Lu would be arriving late due to important meetings he could not cancel .

Therefore, Lexi had went alone since he would come anyway . Also, she couldn’t let Diane lose face as the woman invited her herself .

Not just that, aside of Laurel Wang and Stella Du’s presence — if they would attend — Lexi knew that this event would be an awesome opportunity to make connections . This event offered people out of her league, after all .

“Yes, I thought I saw him earlier . “

“That’s weird . Ethan will arrive a little late . ” Thinking that Rika Song might have mistook someone as Ethan Lu, Lexi didn’t dwell on it further just yet .

“Well, maybe I’m wrong . ” Having the same thoughts as Lexi, Rika Song shrugged her shoulders . “So, you’re coming, right?” Rika Song diverted the subject and asked as she only wanted to know if Lexi would attend .

“Yes, I’m just waiting for our turn . ” Nodding her head, Lexi responded as she glanced at Nico Zhuang whom perched on the front passenger via the rear mirror .

“Great! This will only be fun if you’re here!” Glad to hear her reply, Rika Song’s voice slightly raised in excitement .

“Wasn’t Eli invited too?” Lexi chuckled as she could feel Rika Song’s ever positive energy from the other end of the line .

“Meh, I haven’t — speaking of the devil . . . ” Just as Rika Song could diss Elliot Gong behind his back, she caught his flashy figure entering the hall .

Even if Rika Song didn’t want to admit it, Elliot Gong’s presence, aura, and visuals were top-notch . No wonder the guests that were already inside had a second of silence as he entered .

Elliot Gong was just like a prince .

“Bestie, you know, sometimes I feel that this guy was cursed — with that looks of his, he’s still single till now . Cursed of the beauty?” As Rika Song watched Elliot Gong’s figure interacted with the people she didn’t know personally, she sighed heavily .

“Let him enjoy his single life . ” Lexi could not help but laugh as she imagined her best friend’s expression while she said her last remarks .

Well, Rika Song would be officially be a married woman next month . Therefore, Elliot Gong would be the only person who doesn’t have a girlfriend yet .

“I bet he’s not enjoying it anymore . ” Jinxing it, Rika Song clicked her tongue as she guessed it right .
