Chapter 532
It was as if he feared she would shatter if he hugged her a little tighter.
“I’m sorry…” His voice reached her car. “Rosie, could you let me hold you like this for a while?”
He murmured chokingly, his tone dripping with imploration.
It could even be considered a humble plead.
There was never a time when he begged anyone in such a lowly manner as the lofty scion in the
entertainment industry.
Rosalie felt a heavy weight settling on her heart. She remained motionless and quiet in Calvin’s
arms.
Calvin embraced Rosalie gingerly as if holding a wonderful dream of the past while his aura
overwhelmed her senses. She could even hear his heartbeat.
The hug finally ended after an interminable amount of time had passed.
“Apologies,” Calvin asked for pardon for the second time. “Just now… I was too impulsive and
mistook you for someone in my imagination.”
“It’s fine,” Rosalie muttered. She knew who it was that he was implying.
“But it won’t happen again.” He fixed his eyes on her and uttered firmly, “From now on, I won’t
mistake you for someone else. You are the one and only Rosalie in this world.”
She was also the only one he loved.
Rosalie stared at him stupefied and saw her face reflected in his inky pupils clearly.
It was as if she was the only existence in his
eyes.
Rosalie trailed after Calvin and sessfully entered the venue of the charity banquet. While plenty
of renowned celebrities in the entertainment industry were present, no reporters were seen, as
those from major news portals and magazines were not granted ess and were being blocked
outside.
Rosalie was personally escorted by Calvin into the venue and, as such, garnered plenty of
attention, especially from those in the entertainment industry.
After all, it was a scion they were talking about. Countless women coveted the spot beside him to
no avail.
Many began hypothesizing about who exactly Rosalie was.
On the other hand, Rosalie continued looking around to locate Warren and Irene.
“Don’t worry, it’s still early. Perhaps they haven’t arrived yet. I suppose they’ll be here soon since
they’re on the guest list,” Calvinforted Rosalie when he noticed her anxiety. “Besides, I can
take you to them tomorrow even if they don’t show up today.”
“Thank you,” Rosalie said.
“I’m more than happy to help you out in one way or another. I’d then see you more often and talk to
you more. With a bit more of such frequent interactions, maybe you might fall for me one day,” he
murmured.
“You…” She looked at him in shock and found for the first time that maybe he had invested more of
his feelings into her than she thought!
Just then, a familiar voice interrupted Rosalie’s words. “Rosie!”
Rosalie turned around and saw Lillian walking toward her while holding Callum’s arm.
“Lillian, why are you here?” Rosalie looked at her friend in surprise.
“Well, I asked Callum to bring me along when I heard many celebrities would be here.” Lillian
laughed drily. She was embarrassed to reveal that she’d done so by drowning Callum with ardent
kisses and nibbles, including sleeping with him. Only then did he agree to her request.
Of course, Callum had asked her to swear not to go all starry-eyed whening across male
celebrities and forbade her from approaching them for an autograph or a photograph together
beforeing here.
She’d reluctantly agreed out of desperation to tag along and settled for merely having a feast for her
eyes after some consideration.
Little did she foresee her best friend appearing at the venue, too. “Besides, the one next to her…”
Lillian’s mind began spinning as she took in Calvin beside Rosalie.
As a fangirl, there was no question that Lillian knew who Calvin was.
He was none other than the scion of the entertainment industry and the one backing up numerous
top celebrities. Even a pig could achieve fame and fortune if only he willed it to be.
“Rosalie, fancy seeing you here. Besides, this…”
“I came to look for someone. As such, I asked Mr. Gunner to bring me here,” Rosalie hurriedly
exined.
“Looking for someone? Who could that be?” Lillian’s curiosity was piqued. She recalled that Rosalie
was not a fan of any celebrity. Thus, the likelihood of her looking for one to get an autograph was
close to zero.
“Irene and Warren,” Rosalie replied.
Lillian immediately understood it was probably rted to Amelia. Therefore, she pulled Rosalie
alone to one side and queried, “What’s going on with Amelia again?”
“Irene must have sent someone to cause trouble again, disrupting Amelia from doing business as
usual. It would be unfavorable for Amelia topete for custody without a stable ie,” Rosalie
added.
“Irene is too despicable!” Lillian spat out righteously. “How about I tell Callum to arrange a job for
Amelia first?”
“We’ll see how things go after I check in on Irene and Warren today. If things don’t work out, we’ll do
as you say,” Rosalie replied.
Lillian’s eyes
roved over her best friend again after wrapping up their discussion about Amelia. “You look
gorgeous today, by the way, and are on par with those socialites!”
Rosalie’s long ck hair was pleated up, leaving several to hang loosely around her cheeks,
entuating her exquisite. makeup. She looked extremely elegant with a hint of girlish
dreaminess.
Her gown was the epitome of ss and grace, eliciting a round of praise from Lillian.
“The gown you’re wearing… was it Calvin who prepared it for you?” Lillian questioned.
“Yes,” Rosalie answered.
Lillian asked in curiosity, “What’s your rtionship with Calvin right now?”
Rosalie said, “Well… It’s a long story. I’ll tell you about it next time.”
Callum was also taking stock of Calvin at the same time. He was astonished that Calvin would
attend this charity g with Rosalie, especially regarding how he looked at her. Naturally, Callum
understood what it meant as a man himself.
However, Rosalie still had Jonathan by her side.

Callum suddenly felt fortunate that he’d fallen in love with Lillian. It saved him a lot of hassle. His
head hurt from merely imagining what it would be like if Calvin and Jonathan were to sh with one
another.
“I heard that Gunner Group seems to have poprized a lot of boy bands this year.” Callum
searched for a conversation starter. He’d learned of this piece of information from Lillian.
He would be aware of any new boy band that was trending recently as long as he asionally
checked Lillian’s YouTube history.
