Chapter 1523 A Date and Assistant
yton thought to himself, ''Do you have to poke at my embarrassment so bluntly?''
However, he soonughed at himself. He was more open and ashamed of his narrow-mindedness.
"Yeah, I saw it, so I wanted to discuss it with you."
Nicole rolled her eyes. "What''s there to discuss? Who knows what he''s thinking about? In any case, my
brother already sent the gift, so we didn''t show him any disrespect.”
yton let out a low chuckle. The stuffiness in his chest was swept away.
Oh, his baby was only concerned about her reputation!
Yvette, who was next to Lance, had been looking in all directions. Quite a few people attended, and it
was considered a big event.
No one had anything superfluous to say when they saw Lance and Yvette appear together. After all,
outsiders did not know that they were married.
However, Yvette had a reputation. The people just felt that these two people might have appeared by
coincidence and were not really together. Thus, no one said that they were a good couple or a natural
pair.
Yvette excitedly took a ss of wine to talk to the gossipingdies but was pulled back by the
expressionless Lance.
He ended his conversation with another boss in front o f him before looking down at her. He spoke very
softly.
"I told you not to wander around..."
Yvette pouted. "I just wanted to say hello to thosedies."
Lance followed her gaze and faintly looked away.
"Maybe another day, but not today.”
The rejection was very crisp.
Yvette was stunned for a moment, very surprised. The corners of her mouth tightened in slight
displeasure.
"Mr. Sheldon, did you know? Not even my mother would restrict me from having friends, let alone girl
friends!"
Lance looked at her faintly and very seriously considered the implications of that statement.
Just when Yvette thought that he was going to bow and admit his mistake, Lance spoke.

"Let me remind you that you''re not only my date today but also my assistant. This kind of social niceties
is official business and one of your duties!"
Yvette stared at him, dumbfounded. It was over. She lost miserably.
Lance let go of her and let her make the decision.
Someone who was dedicated to their work would not leave their boss behind.
Yvette was in a dilemma before putting her hand back on Lance''s arm.
She looked like such a dedicated date.
Lance looked away. The corners of his lips gently curled into a smile.
He inexplicably felt amused.
After following Lance around and socializing for a while, Yvette noticed something was wrong.
"Why is Mitchell the only person who came out to socialize? Where''s Eric?”
Mitchell represented Eric, but on such an important asion like an engagement, it would inevitably
lead t o more criticism if Eric did not appear personally.
Lance smiled and did not say anything.
Maybe it was clear in his heart that although this was Eric''s engagement, Eric was the one who stayed
out of it the most.
Mitchell just so happened to toast in front of Lance and Yvette, so he politely came over to exchange
pleasantries.
"Mr. Sheldon, Ms. Quimbey, please don''t hold back. If there''s anything you need, just give us an order,
and forgive our poor hospitality. Thank you foring to the banquet despite your busy schedule."
Lance nodded faintly. "Mr. Ferguson is too courteous."
Michell smiled and was just about to say something when Yvette asked bluntly.
"I haven''t congratted Mr. Ferguson on his marriage yet. Where is he? Why is the bride the only one
who came out?"
As Yvette spoke, her eyes shifted to a ce not far away.
Angie came down from the spiral staircase wearing a n exquisite white dress that looked like a bridal
gown. It was very suitable for this asion.
Angie nced over. She was very satisfied when she saw so many people attending her engagement
ceremony.
However, when she looked in another direction, her expression froze slightly.
