"Xiao Yi, Xiao Yi!" Lisa's voice, coming closer and closer, brought me back to reality, lost in my thoughts.

"Hmm …" I answered absently.

"What happened?" She looked at me sternly. "Now is not the time to be absent-minded."

I shook my head and forced myself to say, "It's nothing. I suddenly feel a little tired."

"No matter how tired you are, you have to use the brightest smile you can muster and let me live through this night. This is the first time you've been to a formal social dinner. You can't screw it up. "

"I know."

-

When I came back to my senses, Gao Ziyu explained the process for us to go through.

"We'll be the last to enter the hotel. Melissa will personally take you to the red carpet."

"Personally? Uncle Gao, did you say anything wrong? " Chen Jiaying shouted again.

Lisa and I looked at each other in dismay.

Gao Ziyu nodded his head: "That's how Director Gao discussed it with Melissa. Right, in two days Lisa, continue to take Xiao Yi to the cover of < Kaiser >. There's also that Yang Ziai, she has been hidden by the company."

Chen Jiaying shouted at the top of her lungs, "Wah! Director Gao's might, ah ah ah! I adore him to death! "

Even the usually calm and composed Lisa could not help but sigh with emotion, "Xiao Yi, Director Gao has spent a lot to win your favor this time. Melissa is such a difficult person, I wonder how Director Gao will deal with her. "

Chen Jiaying laughed and said: "The problem is, how did Director Gao know about this? Hehe, Sister Shan, Director Gao is truly meticulous in his care and concern for you. "

They talked about how well Gao Kan had treated me, but my chest felt even worse, as though there was lead in it. Only after a long while did I speak, "Uncle Gao, Director Gao, what have he paid?"

Gao Ziyu looked at me with a hesitant gaze. After a moment of hesitation, he lightly shook his head. "I am not clear about the matters regarding Director Gao."

I asked, "What about him, where is he now? Will you come to the party tonight? " Who would he accompany?

"Let's go home. He's been quite busy all afternoon." Gao Ziyu comforted me, "Don't think too much into it, just do your best tonight. Don't screw up Director Gao's plans."

I closed my eyes and let out a soft "En" and stopped talking.

-

The Kaiser's Charity Party was held in Winston Water City, a famous place in the capital.

When Gao Ziyu and the others arrived, they were completely blocked by the media.

It was the first time I had attended such a formal dinner, and it was false to say that I was not nervous.

Even though I was cheered up all the way by Miss Lisa, I was still so nervous I could barely breathe.

After all, this isn't a stage I'm good at. It's a real fame and fortune.

Gao Kan gave me such a high starting point, I'm afraid I can't bear the weight of the crown.

Fortunately, our car was stuck in the sea, so the media didn't notice. Lisa got out of the car first and went to talk to Melissa about my entrance.

Chen Jiaying got off the car, went to get our luggage, and probably stayed at a hotel tonight.

I took a deep breath and looked at the two words, Gao Kan, on my phone's contact list. I pressed and repressed the numbers with my fingertips, and at that moment, I really wanted to give him a call.

He had said that he would accompany me to the top and bring me to fame. He had not broken his promise, he had sat down, but in the most important moment of my life, he had left me behind and left me alone.

I was not happy at all, and my heart was very uncomfortable.

-

"Miss Eyre." Gao Ziyu, who was quietly driving, suddenly called out to me. "There are a few things I want to talk to you about."

I pulled my thoughts away and asked, "What's the matter?"

Gao Ziyu pondered for a moment, then said: "For this matter, the Director Gao had discussed with Melissa for an entire afternoon, he invested 10 million, and on the side of" Kaiser ", he only gave a single page. The Director Gao even led the discussion on behalf of" Kaiser ", taking down the exclusive cooperation unit for this winter's Paris Fashion Exhibition. That's why Melissa agreed to give you the cover and walk the red carpet herself. "

"You probably don't know, in these two years, Director Gao's business venture was actually very arduous. He did not ask Gao Dong for a single cent to invest, nor would he request for him to do anything. What he has right now, are all things he fought for himself. Every penny is not easy to earn, and I feel sorry for it. "

"Miss Eyre, don't cry. The reason why I said all that, was to tell you that Gao Kan genuinely wanted to flatter you. You must try your best not to let others look down on you and let down his hard work. I have known Director Gao for so many years, but I have never seen him being so nice to any girl … "

"You have to go in happily, don't let Director Gao worry about you at home. He said that he doesn't want to care about you, but he was actually very worried. Last time when you secretly went to the Golden Strawberry Music Festival, he didn't secretly follow you because he was afraid that you would suffer a loss."

"Is this the first time you've seen these clothes?" In fact, he had ordered it a year ago. Once, when he was drunk, he said that he had designed it himself and was going to use it as a wedding dress for a woman. You see, it's all here for you now, so you should be happy, right? "

-

After Gao Ziyu finished speaking, he got off the car. I pressed down on the keypad that was always hanging in the air, as if I was afraid that I would regret it. I closed my eyes and pressed the phone to my ear, not daring to look at the screen.

The bell rang for ten seconds before it connected.

Gao Kan didn't say anything, but I could hear his breathing.

I suppressed my agitated heart and softly called out his name. "Director Gao."

"Hmm?" His voice was very low, and he sounded somewhat tired.

"Why did you do that?"

"Why what? "You are an artiste that I have signed a contract with. Do I have to look at you …"

"You know that's not what I'm talking about!" I interrupted him urgently and whispered, "You said that you will wear this dress with me. Gao Kan, can you come? I... I'm so scared. "

If he doesn't like me, if he doesn't like me now, why would he do that?

I believe the answer is yes.

Just when I thought that Gao Kan would no longer bother with me, he suddenly spoke out, "Yi Shanshan, the reason why I did that is because I promised others that I will not break my promise."

"Gao Kan, can we talk? After not meeting for two years, don't you want to know how I've been doing? "Please, give me a chance."

Du du, the call was heartlessly cut off.

So, he rejected me without the slightest hesitation?

I was in no mood. I lifted my chin a little and squeezed my eyes shut to keep them from falling off.

The window was ajar and the air was very cold. The crowd was noisy outside, but I felt like I was in another parallel world, staring at the roof of the carriage without any clue.
