Chapter 62 The Ball


    While Patricia was lowering her eyes, Marilyn looked at her and couldn''t help being distracted. It was


    no wonder that the president was so concerned about Patricia, even though she was just a neer.


    In addition to her absolute talent, Patricia had a characteristic that many nobledies have never had.


    She also had a delicate face...


    As soon as the car door opened, Matthew firstly saw a small foot wearing bright crystal high-heeled


    shoe and a slender pretty leg.


    In the next moment, he saw Patricia stepping off the car, wearing a pure white off-shoulder long skirt,


    with her beautiful corbones looming. The skirt was as white as transparent, but not exposed her body


    at all. This skirt reflected light slightly, just like angel wings.

    The hem of the skirt showed an arc from high to low, and it gracefully puffed up, revealing the young


    girl''s fair and slender jade-like legs. Its skirts were inset with diamonds, and the dots of diamonds were


    like countless beautiful morning dews.


    Her dark hair hung down on her shoulders. She had clear and bright pupils and delicate eyebrows. Her


    long eyshes quivered slightly. Her fair and wless skin revealed a faint blush, and her thin lips were


    as tender as rose petals.


    For a while, Matthew was dumbfounded.


    Patricia also attracted a lot of other attention instantly.


    Patricia walked slowly to Matthew and waved her hand gently in front of him. "President Crawford?


    Anything wrong?"


    Matthew shook his head slightly and put one of his hand around Patricia''s shoulder.


    In the next second, he took a delicate white mask with his other hand and put it on Patricia''s face.


    Feeling the gentleness and cautiousness of Matthew''s movement, Patricia blushed immediately.


    Matthew wore a ck tailcoat, which perfectly highlighted his gentle and decent disposition.


    "Tonight, call me by my name."


    Hearing Matthew''s words, Patricia''s face turned even redder. "Mr. Crawford, isn''t that appropriate? You


    are my superior..."


    Matthew put the mask in his hand in Patricia''s hands while his face was soft. "Don''t forget that, tonight,


    you are not my subordinate, but my dancing partner."


    Patricia took the mask that Matthew handed over to her and was stunned. "Mr. Crawford, what is this


    for?"


    Matthew gently covered Patricia''s soft lips with his fingers and a soft smile gradually appeared on his


    face.


    "Put it on for me, and call me Matthew."


    After finishing his words, Matthew lowered his head slowly, and stopped until his face was extremely


    close to Patricia''s.


    Patricia felt that as if her face was burnt. She carefully put the mask on Matthew''s face, and then put


    her hand back.


    Many aristocrats gathered at the entrance of the resort-like hotel. They were all wearing expensive


    evening dresses and entered the venue one after another.


    Matthew was standing by Patricia. He put his hand on her waist, and looked at her suggestively. "My


    princess, it''s time for us to enter."


    Patricia was slightly stunned for a moment, and then she held Matthew''s arm.


    They walked towards the door step by step. When they reached the door, Marilyn hurriedly handed the


    invitation letter to the greeter at the door.


    The greeter nced at Patricia and then smiled at Matthew slightly. "Mr. Crawford''s partner is so


    beautiful."


    Matthew slightly nodded. "Thank you for thepliment. I think so too."


    Patricia followed Matthew into the huge dance scene, where warm lights and beautiful music were


    everywhere.


    A white piano was ced in the front of the stage, and the pianist sitting there was ying beautiful


    music, intoxicated with the melody.


    Looking at the crowd who were talking andughing, and the dazzling array of delicacies, Patricia


    gradually became serious.


    The Coleman family was well known as a noble one in the imperial capital, but her parents had never


    brought her to such asions and such a ball.


    Not even once...


    Because wherever her parents went, they would take her outstanding sister with them. And she had


    always been at home waiting for them toe back.


    She had to wait for her sister toe back and listened to her describing the beauty outside world.


    And this time, she actually came to a ce full of mystery that she always wanted toe to when she


    was a child.


    But she didn''t know why it was not as beautiful as she had imagined.


    She looked at the men and women at the ball, who wore lover''s masks, each of which looked different.


    It seemed that as if they were afraid of making a mistake in finding their partners.


    "Patricia, what''s on your mind?"


    Matthew turned to look at Patricia, full of worry.


    Patricia''s thoughts were instantly pulled back, and she gently shook her head at Matthew. "President


    Crawford, I''m sorry. I was absent-minded."


    Matthew smiled at Patricia. "Patricia, please allow me to call you like this. And I will remind you again


    that tonight you should call me Matthew. Calling me President Crawford makes me feel strange."


    Patricia lowered her eyes, with an unnatural expression on her face. "Matthew."


    Hearing Patricia''s extremely low voice, Matthew narrowed his eyes andughed.


    He reached out his hand and rubbed her head. "Now it''s right."


    The spotlight on the stage gradually gathered, and then slowly cast on the man and woman who were


    holding hands on the stage.


    In the spotlight, the man had the deep and cold eyes and the aristocratic disposition that made people


    instantly fascinated. He had stylish thin lips, perfect contours and delicate features like ceramics. His


    ck suit looked tailor-made on his body, outlining his particrly slender waist.


    The woman holding him by the side was dressed in blue and purple. This dress had dark manjusaka


    patterns, and it was embroidered with intricate patterns on the shoulders. The purple belt was


    embroidered with butterflies, setting off the slender woman. Her long ck hair was loosely twisted into


    a bun, with a few strands of long hair hanging on both sides of her cheeks, and a butterfly-shaped


    hairpin stuck in her head. Her dark eyes looked as soft as water, and her face was decorated with a


    gentle smile. She was just like a gentle fairy.


    They wore ck masks with unique designs on their faces.


    "Today, let''s have fun."


    The man raised the wine ss in his hand, then clinked with the woman''s. They drank the red wine in


    one gulp.


    The atmosphere under the stage was also instantly ignited. They raised their wine sses and cheered


    happily.


    Although the man and the woman on the stage were wearing masks, everyone under the stage knew


    who they were.


    Except for Patricia, who was confused from the very beginning.


    Patricia''s eyes lost focus for an instant. The maic voice of the man on the stage just seemed to


    ovep with a voice deep in her memory.


    But she couldn''t remember it for a while. She just felt a little familiar with that voice, and that voice


    somehow made her feel scared and want to hide!
