Chapter 604 He Has a Beauty by His Side
Isabella quickly answered the phone. "Mr. Garcia? What? You need to attend a dinner party now, and you want me to send someone to pick up the document? Okay, okay, tell me the address and I'll write it down."
Isabella hurriedly grabbed a pen and jotted down the address of the dinner party.
After hanging up the phone, Isabella said to Susan, "Mr. Garcia took the document we need for tomorrow to a dinner party. His secretary is on leave today, so he asked us to send someone to pick it up."
"How about letting Maria go?" Susan suggested after thinking for a moment.
At this point, Isabella said, "You should go instead."
Susan was taken aback by Isabella's words.
Isabella quickly whispered, "You're always stuck in front of the computer, bombarded with radiation. Consider this a break. Once you get the document, we'll likely be finished here, and you can head straight home."
"But..." Susan frowned, wanting to say something.
However, Isabella forcibly pulled Susan up and shoved her purse into her hand.
In the end, Susan had no choice but to follow Isabella's arrangement. While everyone else worked overtime, she went to the dinner party to get the document.
By the time Susan arrived at the hotel address Felix Garcia had given, night had already fallen.
The dinner party was at the Hilton Hotel, a place etched in Susan's memory.
Six years ago, it was right here that Susan had a one-night stand with Seb, a night that resulted in Hayden's conception.
In the years that followed, Susan never had the chance to return to the Hilton Hotel. She didn't expect Felix to be attending a dinner party here today, which brought back many old memories.
Susan shook her long hair and walked straight into the Hilton Hotel.
The dinner party was in the ballroom on the fifth floor, and Susan quickly arrived at the entrance.
Several prominent posters at the entrance made Susan frown.
The posters read "Prosperity Group New Product Launch Celebration Dinner," which made Susan feel a bit uneasy.
How could it be such a coincidence? Felix was attending a dinner party hosted by Prosperity Group.
Looking again, she saw another large poster featuring a celebrity's name, Esme, and a striking photo of her.
Esme was wearing a light blue off-shoulder evening gown, adorned with diamond jewelry on her neck, ears, and fingers, and her smile was captivating.
"Miss, do you have an invitation?" The registration staff at the entrance politely asked Susan, who was lingering nearby.
At this moment, Susan shook her head blankly.
Esme was indeed very beautiful. Even as a woman, Susan couldn't help but take a few more glances at the photo on the poster.
"I'm sorry, miss, but you can't enter without an invitation," the registration staff said with a smile.
Just then, a man in a suit walked out from inside. When he saw Susan, he quickly approached and said, "Ms. Wilson, why did you come in person?"
Seeing Felix, Susan smiled and said, "Everyone else is working overtime, so I came."
"The document is in my briefcase. Come with me to get it," Felix said, then spoke a few words to the registration staff and led Susan into the ballroom.
As soon as she entered, Susan was captivated by the opulence before her.
Although there weren't many people at today's dinner party, only about a dozen tables, it was exceptionally grand.
The ballroom was filled with flowers and flower baskets, the waitstaff were courteous, the dishes were exquisitely prepared, and the lighting was bright, creating an atmosphere of grandeur and luxury.
Felix smiled at Susan and said, "Wait here for a moment. My briefcase is over by my seat."
"Okay," Susan replied with a smile and nodded.
Felix then walked towards his seat, while Susan stood where she was.
Looking around, Susan noticed a man and a woman standing at the main table.
The man was wearing a black suit, and the woman was in a light blue off-shoulder evening gown.
The man was handsome and dashing, and the woman was radiant and beautiful. Standing together, they each held a wine glass, accepting toasts from one person after another.
Seeing these two, Susan was immediately stunned!
Esme's outfit and jewelry were exactly the same as on the poster at the entrance. Even from a distance, Esme looked even more stunning in person than in the poster.
Moreover, Esme and Seb were almost touching, occasionally exchanging glances. It was clear that they were very familiar with each other.
Seb looked very spirited today, as if he had regained his former confidence and vigor. Could it be because he had Esme by his side?
It seemed that the gossip in the newspaper wasn't baseless. They must be very close, perhaps even having an ambiguous relationship.
Thinking of this, Susan felt as if a heavy stone was pressing on her chest, making it hard for her to breathe.
Just as Susan was feeling extremely down, a pair of deep eyes from afar suddenly noticed her.
When he saw her suddenly appear at the dinner party, his attention was immediately drawn to her.
"Mr. Anderson, Ms. Davis, with Prosperity Group's entry into the jewelry industry, you're sure to have a great start. I toast to your successful collaboration!" A businessperson stepped forward and raised his glass.
Esme smiled and raised her glass, saying, "A successful collaboration is a given."
At this moment, Seb's eyes were fixed on a spot over a hundred feet away.
"Mr. Anderson?" Esme reminded him, then followed his gaze to see Susan in her cream-colored suit.
Seeing Susan, Esme frowned slightly.
The next moment, Seb placed his glass on the table and said to the person toasting, "Sorry, but Esme will drink this for me. I have an urgent matter to attend to."
With that, he turned and left the table, leaving everyone in shock.
Felix handed a document to Susan. "Here's the document."
At this moment, Susan noticed that Seb had seen her and felt a bit flustered.
"Mr. Garcia, I'll be leaving now," Susan said, taking the document and quickly turning to leave the ballroom.
