Chapter 22 Like A New Couple (Part Two)

"And we're done!" the makeup artist said as she stepped back to take a look at Fiona.

Hearing this, Spencer sighed with relief. He raised his head and saw Fiona by accident. One look at her took his breath away. There was only word to describe her: beautiful!

But since it was her first time to wear such an expensive dress, Fiona couldn't help but feel awkward. She looked at Spencer and asked, "Don't I look strange in this dress?"

Spencer stood up and put his phone back in his pocket. He walked to Fiona and said indifferently, "It's not strange."

"Humph!" Fiona sneered.

Wayne's birthday party was held at the Cheng family residence.

Fiona took a deep breath as the car neared their destiny. "Sir,

please show me your certificate and step out of the car for registration," the man guarding the gate said.

Rolling down his window, Spencer looked out and said, "I've been gone for only two days and you already don't recognize me?"

"Spencer!" Realizing that it was Spencer, the guard gave him a salute and let him in.

He drove to the Cheng family residence.

The whole residence was buzzing with visitors.

Almost all of the slots in the parking lot were taken up, and one could tell a lot about the party guests based on their cars alone. The vehicles were mostly Hummers or Rovers with military license plates. There was a handful of cars with governmental license plates and another group of luxury cars that were probably worth millions. The guests were divided into two: those in uniforms and those wearing suits. But all of them shared one thing in common: they all looked rich, powerful, and influential.

"I thought you said only relatives and friends were coming to Grandpa's party?" Fiona felt a surge of anxiety as she sized up the guests. "Why are there so many people?"

"That's not a lot. You should be grateful." Spencer stepped out of the car carrying a gift and walked around to open the door for Fiona. "Come out now. Remember that you're Grandpa's guest-of-honor today."

Fiona made adjustments to her dress before exiting the vehicle. They were quickly approached by Wayne's assistant.

"Spencer! Fiona!"

"Victor!" Fiona smiled when she saw the man. "Why are you here?"

"Mr. Cheng asked me to receive you." Victor smiled warmly. "You look very beautiful today, Fiona!"

"Ahem!" Before Fiona could thank him, Spencer coughed to remind Victor of his presence. With a dark look on his face, he shoved the present into Victor's hands. "Take this! It's for Grandpa."

"Okay!"

Spencer then turned to Fiona and commanded, "Your hand."

Fiona looked at the people around her and thought that it was only proper to

be escorted like this by Spencer. With a sigh, she put her hand on his arm.

There was a satisfied smile on Spencer's face which Fiona didn't notice. Both of them promptly walked inside.

"Spencer! Spencer!"

A voice came from behind just as they were joining the party. "Wait for me!"

Both Fiona and Spencer turned around to see who was calling. It was a man who just stepped out of a black sports car.

He gave the couple a friendly smile, his short hair dancing in the breeze around his face. He looked as if he was sculpted by an artist. His straight nose, thin lips, and deep-set eyes made him look very masculine and handsome.

Unlike Spencer who usually came with a domineering aura, this man's charms were inviting despite a trace of reservation.

"Terence," Spencer called out.

'I finally get to meet Terence in person!' she thought.

Terence was wearing an expensive-looking suit and he was as tall as Spencer. He walked towards the two of them and smiled at Fiona. "It's nice to finally meet Spencer's wife. Hi, Fiona. I'm Terence, Spencer's friend." He extended an arm to shake her hand.

Fiona's face turned red at the mention of her being Spencer's wife. She reached out a hand to shake his and politely returned his greeting with a timid hello.

But before their hands touched, Spencer pulled Fiona back.

In one swift move, Spencer swatted Terence's hand away.

"What are you doing?" Terence exclaimed with amusement as he withdrew his hand and placed both in his pockets. "Are you jealous?"

Spencer gave him a cold look and snorted, "I just don't like you. Fiona, let's go."

Fiona nodded and followed him into the yard. It wasn't long until they ran into another acquaintance.

"Spencer!" It was Kristen who was wearing a flattering strapless dress that made her look even taller.

"Kristen." Spencer nodded in her direction. There was a crude smile at the corners of his mouth as he turned to Fiona and said, "Say hello to Kristen."

"It's nice to meet you, Kristen." Kristen looked at her before her eyes fell on their linked arms. Fiona noticed that Kristen looked unhappy to have seen them together.

Kristen walked over and strutted with pride. Other men turned their heads to gaze at her when she passed.

"Kristen!" Terence called out. He looked at her and offered, "I came here alone. Would you like to join me?" With that, he offered her his arm.

Kristen turned from Spencer to Fiona, before fixing her gaze on Terence. Ignoring the others, she took his arm and casually said, "Let's go!"

The two then walked ahead of Spencer and Fiona. Only Terence turned around to wink at them, his face beaming with pride.
