Chapter 1458


    "I''m not meddling with your private life," ine replied as she rested her chin on her palm.


    "I’m just curious about it. It’s a whole different thing."


    Ian did not reply.


    Since he did not reply, ine was even more confident that he must be hiding something.


    After all, women’s intuition was always right.


    She took a sip of her soup and continued.


    "If you’re worried that I might go around and tell everyone about your past, you can rest assured.My


    lips are tightly sealed.However, if you still refuse to tell me anything, I won’t force you either."


    Heughed and said, "Thank you for your understanding, Ms.Xavier."


    "I’m going back to mypany after the meal.I’ll leave the engagement banquet in your hands,


    Mr.Saldana," said ine.


    "Let me take you back."


    She was stunned.


    "I don’t think that’s necessary, right?"


    "Well, even if our marriage is fake, we still need to put on a show.Don’t you think so?" Ian replied tly.


    ine fell silent.


    Ian sent her back to J Tech Inc.


    He watched as she walked into the office before driving away.


    When her colleagues saw him, they all gathered around her and asked if he was her fiance.


    After all, he had sent her to thepany himself several times, and he only left after she came in.


    He treated her so well, and all of them were envious of her.


    ine fell silent for a few seconds before replying with a smile, "Yeah.He’s very nice to me."


    Other than his identity and his personal feelings, Ian was perfect.


    A weekter...


    The engagement ceremony of the Xaviers was held in the banquet hall of the Rosemberg Hotel.


    All guests attending the banquet were friends of Edward who were deeply involved in the business and


    hade to congratte Edward.


    As Edward''s soon-to-be son-inw, Hector was invited as well.


    As for Maisie and Nn, both of them were present too.


    After all, there was no way Nn would let his wife attend an asion like this alone.


    Many people were envious of Edward.


    He had not done anything, yet he became one of Nn’s extended families, thanks to his son-inw.


    Nn was swirling the wine in his ss as he stood insouciantly amongst the crowd.


    He was not interested in the engagement ceremony.He was there because of his wife as well as


    because he wanted to meet Ian.


    Maisie was talking to Lucy and Hector.


    Lucy did not seem so happy about ine''s engagement.


    Instead, she looked a little worried.


    Maisie noticed it and asked, "What''s wrong?"


    "Huh?"


    Maisie’s question sessfully pulled Lucy back to reality.


    She gave Maisie an embarrassed smile and replied, "Nothing."


    Today was ine’s engagement ceremony.


    She figured that she shouldn''t make anyments that would kill the mood.


    Besides, she knew that ine wouldn''t take it seriously either.


    Maisie knew that she had something to say.


    She more or less could guess that it was about ine.


    However, since Lucy refused to say it, she did not press on.


    She squinted and looked at Edward, who was talking with someone happily.


    Honestly, she was kind of surprised when she learned of ine and Jan’s engagement.


    At the same time, ine was still inside the dressing room.


    She put on a pair of tassel earrings and looked at herself in the mirror.She rarely put on makeup, and


    she would only wear light makeup on important asions.


    Since it was her engagement ceremony, her makeup tonight was much more delicate.


    When she looked at her reflection in the mirror, she felt she was looking at someone else instead of


    herself.


    She was wearing a white, bare-shouldered dress with crepe silk sleeves.


    This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    The dress wrapped her body like a glove, and the hem looked like a blooming flower.


    It was sprinkled with tiny fluorescent sheets as if it was studded with countless rhinestones.


    Someone from the outside knocked on the door and asked, "Ms.Xavier, are you ready?"


    "Yeah, I’m ready."


    She retracted her gaze and took a deep breath.She kept telling herself that this was just an


    engagement ceremony and that there was nothing to be nervous about.She pulled the door open, and


    when she turned her head, she saw Ian talking to the staff in the corridor.


    He was tall and stood out a lot amongst the crowd of staff with his distinctive white suit that did justice


    to his body physique.
