Evelyn was stunning. But she was shocked and panic inside.

At this point, she wasn't ready to meet Joseph. If he recognized her, she would be doomed.

She thought of this and turned around to avoid Joseph, but Austin stopped her.

"Nora, where are you going?"

Austin frowned and asked.

Evelyn paused, looked at him, then glanced at the man not far from her. She pressed her lips and said. "It's not your business."

When she finished her words, she throwed Austin's hand away and walked away.

There was some kind of sadness in Austin's eyes. But quickly, he comforted himself.

He thought Evelyn was afraid to talk to him because of the crowd.

The more he thought, the more he felt he was right. Then he followed Evelyn and kept shouting. "Nora, wait for me!"

It was so loud that many people throwed their sights upon them.

Joseph also looked at that direction subconsciously. It was just a careless look, but he seemed to see a blurry figure. He became anxious suddenly. Regardless of the people beside him, he walked forward and tiptoed to look around. But that figure disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Why Mr. Kent is so anxious? Do you see your lover?"

A friend beside him saw his anxious look and teased him.

Joseph collected himself.

"Mr. Lee is joking on me. I just saw it wrong."

He tried to cover up his true feeling.

Maybe he did wrong, after all, if it was Evelyn, she couldn't hide herself from him.

When he thought of this, he became worried.

Since the last reunion, he could not contact Evelyn, he didn't know if she was here tonight.

In face, he didn't want to come to this party. But he heard that this party was about designers, so he wanted to see if he could meet her here.

After all, Evelyn was also a designer, she would never let such a good chance go.

And Evelyn, who escaped, came to a corner and made sure she couldn't be found. Finally, she could be relieved.

She leaned against the wall, panting.

She thought that she couldn't stay any more. She could hide from him for a while, but not the whole night.

If she stayed here and many people came to her, Joseph would see her, too. Then it would be complicated. When she was thinking, Austin came after her.

"Nora, why you ran so fast? Something happened?"

Evelyn looked at him annoyingly with phone in her hand.

"Mr. Wilson, can you stop following me?"

Austin seemed to be hurt by her words.

"Nora, do you hate me?"

Evelyn looked at him, she wanted to say yes, but seeing his eyes with pain, she couldn't just speak it out.

She knew, this man treated her as Nora Davis, but she was the one who played Nora's role.

In fairness, she couldn't judge him or decide what she could say to him.

"No."

She pressed her lips and answered him in a low voice.

As soon as Austin heard this, Austin's eyes were suddenly filled with light.

Evelyn knew he must mistake her words, so she hurriedly said again.

"Do not get me wrong, I just treat you as a friend. And to be honest, I really do not like your following all the time. Even if we are good friends, I still think we should leave some space for each other." Austin's face froze again when hearing her words.

Especially, when she said they were just good friends, his heart was like gripped by someone, he was suffering.

But he just show it on his face.

Because he did not forget Evelyn's warning, she said, if he did something out of line, they could be friends any more.

"I... I know, I will not follow you anymore."

He said but couldn't hide his sense of loss.

Evelyn was pleased with his attitude and nodded. "That's best. I have something to speak to Mr. Miller, I have to go."

She said and walked to Aaron.

Anyway, she should tell Aaron before she left.

But she just made a step, Austin followed her.

Evelyn looked at him with confusion.

Austin hurried to say. "Wel...I have something to speak to Mr. Miller, too."

He knew Evelyn hated his following. So he just used the same excuse.

Evelyn listened to him, even knew it was just an excuse, but could not stop him. She just went to Aaron with him following her.

Aaron was pleased to see Evelyn and joked on her. "I thought you won't come today, I did not see you for a long time."

Evelyn smiled.

"I have been here for a while. I was about to come to you, but see you are busy, so I just sit for a while."

She responded briefly, then changed her topic and asked." How about tonight? Find some company you like?"

Aaron heard her words and said. "I did replace some company I like."

Evelyn saw the obvious smile on his face. In fact, she was kind of anxious inside, but she still smile and said. "I know, there are some really good companies." Aaron listened to her and looked at her with smile.

"You are so honest, are not you afraid I chose others?"

Evelyn did know what he was thinking, smiled. "I didn't finish my words. Just listen to my following words.

She said with full of confidence in her eyes.

"There are a few good ones, but our company can do better. It will be your loss if you don't choose us!"

Aaron was amused by the way she praised herself.

Austin saw they were so happy, he was kind of unpleased. He interrupted them. "Mr. Miller. Hello. I am from the Wilson Group, my name is Austin Wilson." Aaron just noticed the man next to Evelyn, then looked at Evelyn with confusion.

"You know each other?"

He said and shook Austin's hand back as a response.

Before Evelyn could say a word, Austin nodded and said. "Yes, we know each other."

Evelyn heard what he said, frowning slightly. Then she refuted his words. "We are not too familiar."

Aaron glanced at them in surprise, then winked at Evelyn.

Evelyn looked at this, rolling her eyes in silence.

She didn't want to explain, or he might misunderstand her meaning more. She just looked at other direction, but she accidently saw Joseph was walking towards them. She felt that she was going to explode that moment. She was so anxious that she even wanted to run away.

But right now, she couldn't just run away, she needed to make sure that Aaron would cooperate with them.

As she struggled to stay here or make excuses to leave, Aaron opened his mouth.

"By the way, Nora, I do not have a date tonight, can we dance together later?"

She frowned when hearing this.

But she could not refuse him. She just bit the bullet and said yes.

At the same time, Joseph found her in the distance.
