“Do you know Mr. Walsh of T. Rowe Price? His son is also in the line of designers, I heard he is famous, and you are the same age, I could introduce you two to get to know each other, you could also have common topics, don’t you think?”

Selena was just about to refuse when she heard Henry add, “Caterlington, you came to the exhibition today?”

Selena followed his line of sight and spotted Caterlington a few steps away.

His face had long since returned to normal and he walked over with a smile, “Mr. Spencer, if you had told me you were coming, I would have been your docent.”

Caterlington looked at Selena, who was standing beside him, with a searing light in her eyes.

“The designer that Mr. Spencer got in the first place was also Selena?”

“Well, that’s her.”

Caterlington walked up to Selena’s side, his tone familiar, “Including Raymond’s time, Selena has stopped two o of my orders, it seems we really have a destiny.”

Selena frowned invisibly, and heard Henry say, “You two young people have a common topic of interest to share, it just so happens that I want to see a few paintings today before the exhibition has finished, Caterlington, you take good care of Miss Selena on my behalf, remember to be considerate.”

The implication was to get along as if she were a future girlfriend.

Caterlington laughed a little, and waited for Henry to leave, which collected a few smiles.

“Let’s have dinner later?”

Selena thought the man was a bit thick–skinned, never mentioning the kick he had just taken, seemingly wanting to turn the page.

But her eyes f

fell ОП him with H certain careless contempt.

“Mr. Walsh is ready? So soon?”

The words were unadulterated, but they were misleading.

Caterlington leaned in close to her, his tone flirtatious.

“True or not, you’ll see if you try.”

Before Selena could say anything, a young girl’s voice came from one side.

“Hey, it’s you!”

This voice is full of condescending impatience, the girl hands clasped chest, looking at Selena this in her eyes completely poor dress.

was not a single recognizable logo on her body, and she is not a person with a good background.

“Did you just steal my bracelet, please take it out, or I’ll call the police.”

The girl spoke, but her eyes looked through her, to Caterlington, eyes flashing, the line of sight then fell to Selena, and again became a vicious gesture.

Selena frowned

“What bracelet?”

“You don’t have to pretend, that’s the new bracelet I’m wearing today, since this morning, you are the only one who has contacted me, who else could it be if not you, that bracelet of mine is worth $300,000, I think you are just seeing money!”

The girl looked a bit aggressive and unforgiving.

Selena understood that the bracelet was just an exc Caterlington.

“I didn’t take your bracelet, if you don’t believe me, you can check the surveillance.”

“You don’t want to admit

The girl sneered, she had just heard that Mia had taken first place in the school and squeezed out her spot, she was already upset, she didn’t expect to see her favorite guy hooking up with a woman she didn’t know, never again.

She bit her lips tightly, “I am a student of Harvard University’s School of Fine Arts, there are works of mine exhibited here today, the school has the right to protect my interests, if you don’t admit it, I will notify the leadership now and have security throw you out!”

Caterlington stood to one side, seeing Selena being so difficult, and did not rush to come forward, he wanted her to come forward to beg him when she was most helpless, when the time came for hero’s rescue, he wouldn’t mind taking the other person down

The corners of his mouth curved and he simply stood aside to watch the show.

He recognized the girl long ago as someone from the Adams family, one of the top four families in New York, she did have enough backbone to replace

trouble with Selena.

Emily’s eyes wandered around and saw Ms. DeVore, who had already packed up.

Ms. Devore’s face was covered with a thick foundation to hide the traces of her woes.

Emily waved, “Ms. DeVore, you’re just in time, this woman stole my bracelet at school, she’s not from our school, shouldn’t she be kicked out?”

Selena raised her eyebrows and looked at Ms. DeVore, who had changed her outfit, and the comers of her mouth curved.

As if irritated by the smile, Ms. DeVore only felt the smell of toilet water still lingering between her nostrils and another twitch in her stomach.
