Chapter 581 Being Walked All Over
As soon as she said that, everyone was stunned.
Immediately, Clarissa was the first to react, as she quickly crouched down and covered Anne's mouth, which she was about to continue speaking.
Then, she looked at Evelyn with an embarrassed smile and said, "I'm sorry. She didn't mean it. She was only talking nonsense."
After all, judging on Evelyn's tone just now, she hadn't accepted Marty. Since they weren't together, naturally, she didn't agree to give birth to a baby.
Although Clarissa was Evelyn's superior, she didn't think that it was appropriate for her child to offend others on such private matters.
On the other hand, Evelyn was blushing red, as she quickly shook her head. "It's alright."
Coming back to his senses, Marty coughed awkwardly. In order to avoid continuing such a topic in front of the child, he had to change the topic purposely.
"Well, Clarissa, it's getting late. We will get going."
Hearing that, Clarissa nodded quickly.
"Go ahead, go ahead. Enjoy yourselves."
In a hurry, Marty took Evelyn's hand and left.
After they left, Clarissa let out a sigh of relief.
And on the other end.
After Evelyn and Marty left the art exhibition, they went to the museum next door.
Visiting the art exhibition was Marty's idea, but, as for the museum, it was actually Evelyn who wanted to go there.
Initially, she was thinking to deal with him first and accompanied him to the art exhibition, then she would go to the museum on her own.
But she didn't expect that Marty would follow her.
Hence, it meant that he would be going with her.
Although Evelyn felt a little awkward, since the man had made this decision, she knew that she couldn't change it, so she just let him go.
The two of them strolled in the museum—a science and technology museum.
In the beginning, Evelyn was interested in these things. But in fact, when she came here, she realized there were many things that she didn't understand about..
Fortunately, Marty was well-versed in science and technology. Thus, with him explaining everything to her, things made sense and she immediately understood them.
Then, she continued to ask him about some things she had seen on the Internet that she did not understand with regard to science and technology.
As Marty answered her questions one after another, although they were still somewhat profound, she already understood seventy to eighty percent of them.
At this moment, a middle-aged man in a suit ran over, panting, and behind him were two staff members of the museum.
As soon as he came over, he said to Marty with a smile, "Mr. Blaine, you're here. Mr. Blaine, since you are visiting, why didn't you send someone to inform me? That way, I'll be ready to attend to you."
Upon hearing that, Marty nodded lightly to him. "I am just taking a walk with my girlfriend. Why are you so fussy?"
Girlfriend?
The middle-aged man was shocked for a moment, and noticed that Evelyn was next to him.
Because she was wearing a mask and a hat, he could not recognize her at first glance. Hence, he could only say uncertainly, "This is... May I know what's your name?"
After looking around, Evelyn found that the technology center was not very well-known, and very few people would come here.
Even if she didn't disguise herself, she probably wouldn't run into anyone.
Only then did she took off her hat and mask, and smiled at him politely.
"Hello, I'm Evelyn."
The moment the man saw her, he was stunned.
After coming around, he displayed an exaggerated flattering expression, and said, "Nice to meet you, Miss Hussain. I am Steve Armstrong, the director of this museum. You can call me Steve."
Of course, Evelyn would not address him like that. This man looked to be at least forty years old. He was old enough to be her father, so it was too inappropriate to call him Steve.
Therefore, she greeted him politely, "Mr. Armstrong."
Immediately, waving his hand, Steve said to her respectfully, "Is this your first time here, Miss Hussain? Would you like me to show you around?"
Hearing that, Marty frowned. He was extremely unhappy with Steve who was third-wheeling. In a deep voice, he said, "As the director, are you really that free? Go and do your work!"
After hearing that reply, Steve knew that there was no need for him here, so he smiled obsequiously and said, "Okay, okay, okay, you can walk around as you like. Call me if you need any help."
However, Marty was reluctant to bother him. Instead, Evelyn gave him a friendly smile and said, "Okay, definitely."
When they were halfway through the tour, Marty's cell phone rang, so he stood aside to answer the call, and Evelyn wandered forward alone.
After walking for a short distance, she saw a few people coming in front of her, and the person who was leading looked familiar.
Turned out that it was Taylor Pieck, a good friend of Melodie, who often worked with Melodie and several other female celebrities to bully other newcomers.
Seeing that, Evelyn thought that should have checked the almanac before she went out today. Why were they everywhere?
However, this time Melodie was not here. There were only Taylor and two other ladies from rich families in Flaucford's upper circle.
"I seriously don't know how many times I got so unlucky today. Why do I see her everywhere!"
As Taylor said enigmatically, the two people next to her saw Evelyn, and they both laughed.
"Hey, what's your name? Why don't you say hello to Taylor when you see her? Aren't you afraid of offending her?"
"Yeah, you must know, other than the four great families in Flaucford, Taylor's family is the most powerful family is next in the line. Aren't you in the entertainment industry? Incidentally, Taylor is also in the entertainment industry. If you bow and kowtow to her today, she might be able to look out for you in the circle in the future."
As soon as she finished her sentence, she burst out laughing.
On the other hand, Evelyn looked at her indifferently, who was pretending to be kind. She didn't answer them, but turned around and continued to walk forward.
Seeing that, the lady was pissed off, as she walked forward and stopped her. "Hey! What's that attitude of yours? I'm being kind to you here, and you didn't even respond? What's with you?"
Hearing that, Evelyn turned around and glanced at her.
If she remembered correctly, this lady was Taylor's cousin—Ellie Pieck. Her reputation was not very good in the circle of notable young ladies in Flaucford, as she had always been a double-dealer.
Sneered, Evelyn brushed away Ellie's hand, and said lightly, "Thank you for your kindness, but I'm just a nobody. Although I am in the entertainment industry, I don't have much ambition. I don't bite off more than what I can chew, so you don't have to worry about me."
"It turns out that you're just a poor girl with no ambition! I thought you're somebody!"
With a sneer, Taylor then yelled. "Hey, you've been shopping for so long, can you afford the things here?"
Upon hearing the comment, Evelyn knitted her brows slightly.
Then, Ellie added. "Don't you know that? This exhibition hall is used for charity events. All the exhibits can be purchased, and funds will be donated to the science and technology institute for their research foundation. You've been shopping for so long, but you haven't bought anything, have you?"
As Evelyn looked down at her empty hands, indeed, she hadn't bought anything.
