    Chapter 168


    “Vicky, over here.”


    The man’s voice was deep and melodious, much like the sound of a cello. Instantly, Vicky recognized


    that voice. It was Mister Kirby.


    Vicky walked to the corner where he sat…and he looked rather suspicious.


    The light in the room was not very bright. Mister Kirby was leaning on the sofa in a very elegant posture


    with a hint ofziness.


    Vicky then said, “Mister Kir-“


    Suddenly, the man reached out and pulled her to his side, much to her shock. Before she could


    struggle and protest, his husky voice rang next to her ear. “Miss Shaw, please do me a favor.”


    He tried to talk softly and lightly. Although he was very close to her, he still maintained a distance that


    would not bring difort to Vicky. “Can you pretend to be my girlfriend?”


    Vicky realized something was not right. “Did you call me here today at this time just because of this?”


    He said in a low voice, “Miss Shaw, do you see those women over there?”


    Vicky nced and noticed a few beautiful women with good temperaments. They did not look like they


    were escorts.


    “It was supposed to be a gathering between me and my friends,” exined Mister Kirby, “but they kept


    it from me and brought women over, insisting on finding me a girlfriend.’


    After a pause, he continued, “Before this, they kept on asking me to get a girlfriend, and I tried to avoid


    them. So, they did a sneak attack by bringing those women. They insist that I should choose one today.


    “I have no interest in those women and told them I have a girlfriend. They kept pestering me, however,


    and asked me to show them my girlfriend. That’s when you came. They automatically thought you were


    my girlfriend when they saw you.”


    Vicky was speechless.


    He said again, “Miss Shaw, can you please help me? I owe you once…


    Please? Don’t worry. I won’t touch you, and I won’t let them trouble you.”


    His angr handsome face was not very clear under the dim light.


    Vicky was surprised and thought differently of him when he did not use the incident where Vicky broke


    his button to threaten her.


    Cece was beside Vicky, but she had no idea what was happening. As she did not see Vicky showing


    any reluctant expression, she stood quietly.


    Suddenly, Mister Kirby noticed she was there, and he curled up his lips into an innocent smile. “Hi, are


    you Vicky’s friend?”


    Cece curiously looked at the man. He was very handsome, though seemingly impish altogether. The


    way he spoke and moved suggested he was a gentleman from a prestigious family.


    This exined why Vicky was so sure Mister Kirby was not a fake when she questioned her about it.


    This man did not look like that kind of person based on the way he talked and moved.


    Cece smiled at the man politely. “Hello, Mister Kirby. My name is Cece. I’m Vicky’s assistant and


    friend.’


    The man showed her a wee sign. ‘Please sit. Since you’re Vicky’s friend, it means you’re my friend


    too. My friends are quite rowdy, though. I’m going to apologize first if you’re ufortable being


    together with us.”


    Cece nced at the other people in the room. Those men were not bad- looking. They were dressed in


    branded attire and looked like yboys, but they were not perverts and did not touch the woman


    beside them. Their conversations were not crass, either.


    As the saying went, birds of a feather flocked together.Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.
