Samuel now panicked as the four damsels surrounded him, looking at him, locking his arms with one of them. Some second-generation were also looking at him with utmost jealousy.
However, Samuel was at the centre and was already beginning to shed cold sweats. Although others were eager to take his place in a heartbeat, Samuel was only considering how to diffuse the situation.
"Well, well. Isn't it, sister Maia? Why are you leisurely enjoying yourself without even saying hello to me?" 18-year-old Paige acted all smiles and giggles, it sure looked like a customary greeting from others' perspective, but it was the first shot of the battle.
"Hey, don't call me sister; we are unfamiliar. If I remember correctly, Wasn't it your sister Nicole who was admiring and complimenting that waiter. Why don't you go and find him?" Maia counterattacked lightly, hitting the sister's sore spot.
"Why are you talking about that? If you are trying to make some bullshit, at least make something believable!" Nicole hurriedly clarified.
"Oh, if while we are on this topic, Maia, the media said you spent a romantic afternoon with the prince of Dubai last week? Was that true?" Iblis joined the war.
"That was just to discuss the feasibility of building a hotel in Dubai! Don't twist the facts!" Maia responded with a fever but didn't forget to take a sneak peek at Samuel's reaction. Witnessing Samuel's regular expression, she felt relieved.
" Do you have time to worry about that? I heard an interesting rumour that someone's engagement has come into question." Paige attacked an ally!
In such cases, now the forces were divided into three categories: Maia and Iblis were on their own, and the Hydrik sisters joined forces against them. Of course, it's not that the Hydrik sisters had no conflicts, but it was a strategic advantage.
" That-" Iblis didn't want to openly discuss it. It was a weird dilemma; if she admitted it, it would signal that she was chasing Samuel. A woman wants to be pursued if the roles got reversed; she would come out as desperate.
" What cat got your tongue?" Paige, who felt she almost won, began to taunt her.
" Rumors? Wasn't that Rick something guy following you around?" Maia helped Iblis. If the power balance collapsed, she would be in a disadvantageous position.
Samuel, who was witnessing the 'bloodbath', was stumped. He could understand why Maia, Iblis and Paige were here but what about Nicole? She was barely fourteen! What were they teaching her?
"Well, Should I leave? You guys can talk first." Samuel asked tentatively. Trying to escape.
"No way!" The four women said in unison. He slouched back in his seat.
The combination of one man and four women slowly became the centre of the banquet and was watched by many guests.
After all, behind each individual were well-known consortiums. They were that famous!
"Honey, do you want me to call Sami?" Laura asked. Robert, busy with his talks, naturally noticed the combination of people.
"No, let him handle it." It seemed that he had absolute confidence in Samuel, but Laura could only notice a gloating smile on his face. 'Do you have to feel proud by that?' She thought.
On the other side.
Douglas, chatting with Maia's father, also noticed Samuel's situation.
"Wyatt, your baby is in a bad situation." It was three against one, which was why Douglas was apprehensive about it.
"Don't worry; I have absolute confidence in my daughter." Wyatt, on the other hand, completely dismissed his worries.
Maia's excellence was known to him; he believed Iblis and the Hydrik sisters were not her rivals.
The four beauties didn't mind the eyes of others. No matter where they appeared, they would ultimately become the focus of attention. They had become immune to such gazes, but Samuel was not used to such hostility.
At that moment, a second generation which appeared to be initially from LA, finally couldn't help it. He walked over in their direction under everyone's watch.
He showed a tempered smile and made himself presentable before disturbing the beauties.
"Beauties, Can I have the honour to invite you to the terrace to enjoy the charming night view of LA?" He definitely outdid himself with the delivery.
"Hehe." Maia looked at him menacingly.
"No time." Iblis flat-out rejected him.
Paige only glared in his direction.
"Please go away." While Nicole was a bit respectful.
The young man, who was originally full of confidence, stood on the spot with a stiff smile. He now regretted it. He knew it was a dumb decision to dream of the mountains. The young man would have already begun cursing at her if it were any ordinary woman.
But he couldn't afford to provoke none of the four people standing before him. Which begs the question, how could he retreat from this situation without losing face? It was a dilemma which was eating him up from the inside.
He decided to stay but was rejected again. As his last resort, he looked at Samuel with a distinct look asking for help.
" This punk! I can't even get out now; why is he looking at me like that? It was my fault to expect too much from him. he can't even get a single reply from them!" Samuel sighed.
" Forget it; I can't keep looking at that pitiful face." Samuel decided to help him.
"This friend, we still have some things to deal with. Should we have a drink together later?" Samuel said and raised his glass.
His movements were elegant with the addition of aristocratic temperament, pleasing the eye. Compared with the second generation that rushed hastily, it was a stark difference. However, the young man didn't mind it; in turn, he was grateful for Samuel's initiative.
"It's me who was rash; I don't want to bother you." He left after some simple words. Although he came in with confidence, at least now he could go with a bit of dignity., It also gave a vivid lesson to other second-generation eager to impress.
It didn't matter if one were a local tyrant, but in the eyes of these top beauties, he was only more than a passerby. After this episode, the bloodbath subsided, and Samuel could finally take a breather.
