“Why are you looking at me like that?” Eli couldn’t help but ask.


    Sean was calm, and an evil smile soon crept onto his face. He looked charming under the light, “If you weren’t staring at me, how would you have known that I was looking at you?”


    Eli was speechless.


    She thought of another memory. There was once their school celebrated a festival during their eighth grade. They had asked each ss to think of some entertainment programs. Eli suggested dancing. In order to dance well, her mother took her to the gym to have some private training.


    On that very day, everyone was rehearsing untilte in the evening.


    Sean came over not long after. He had chosen to y the piano. It was said that he didn’t n to join, but he changed his mindter.In the end, one of the other ssmate’s performance was canceled. After all, his father was the Secretary of the Provincial Committee at that time, and the teachers couldn’t risk offending him.


    He was looking at her with that same gaze when she rehearsed at that time.


    They were just teenagers back then.


    Although she did not like Sean, she was happy to receive the opposite gender’s attention. This incident made her reminisce many of her memories when she was still a youth.


    However,she wasughed at by the other students when she went on stage to perform.


    She danced quite well, but she did not realize that there was a hole in her stockings.


    She was very sure that there wasn’t a hole on then when she wore the stockings earlier that morning. She thought about it and she seemed to recall seeing Sean cutting something with a pair of scissors during his rehearsal in the afternoon.


    She knew that nothing good woulde from his sudden appearance. She had always been the impulsive one, so she went to confront him. She asked, “Why have you been looking at me?”


    Heughed arrogantly and evilly. He said, “If you weren’t staring at me, how would you have known that I was looking at you?”


    She was so angry then. Snapping out of her trance, she asked Sean in disgust, “What tricks are you up to now?”


    Sean’s lips curled into a smile, but he did not speak. Instead, he looked at himself in the mirror.


    She hated this kind of unfathomable look from him. She couldn’t figure out what he was thinking about and she always felt that something bad would happen. In the future, she would imitate him and make him feel the way she felt now.


    Sean’s hair was cut quickly, and soon, he went back out to work.


    The designer spent two hours cutting her hair and spent another half an hour doing her makeup. Finally, she put on the gorgeous gown that Yvonne had given to her.


    She looked at herself in the mirror. She looked noble and elegant as long as she did not speak. Every twinkle and smile of hers was eye-catching.


    It was a little embarrassing to see herself in this manner.


    Sean stood at the door. Eli didn’t know when he hade back.


    He looked at her and ordered, “You’d better behave well tonight. Don’t speak unless it’s absolutely necessary. You’re my assistant, so you must stay with me at all times. Do you understand?”


    Eli was a little worried and she said, “Please don’t let me embarrass myself there.”


    The corners of Sean’s mouth were curled up, “I will try my best to stop you.”


    Eli had the urge to punch him, but she held herself back, “What time is it? I’ll have a quick bite before heading off to the event. I promise that I would not embarrass you.”


    Sean looked at his watch and said, “It’s almost 5 p. m. We should head out soon. The event is held at the National Banquet Hall. I’ve asked someone to buy some bread. You could have a bite in the car.”


    It turned out that he had already prepared everything, and it really… made her feel uneasy.


    Was he that worried that she would make a fool of herself?


    Inside the car.


    Sean and Yvonne sat together in a car,


    while Natasha, a makeup artist, and Eli sat in the other car.


    Natasha sat in the front passenger’s seat, while Eli sat with the makeup artist.


    She ignoredNatashaand ate her bread.


    “The dishes in the banquet hall are the most distinctive dishes in the whole country. You’ve just had lunch this afternoon at 1 p. m., and yet you’re hungry again,” After being scolded by Yvonne,Natashatried not to show any disdain in her tone.


    “Haha, yes,” Eli didn’t want to exin. She was feeling tremendous stress.


    Sean was the President. If she were to make a mistake, wouldn’t she embarrass the President then?


    It didn’t matter if Sean were to make a fool of himself, but he represented the country’s image.


    Besides, she needed Sean’s help. She didn’t want anything to happen to him for the time being.


    Natashadid not hide her disdain and merely smirked.


    Eli pretended that she did not see anything and continued eating the bread.


    The makeup artist fixed her makeup after she was done eating.


    They soon arrived at the banquet.


    The surrounding roads had been sealed off and there were guards at every corner.


    The guards opened their car door. Eli then got out of the car and looked at Sean.


    He had already gotten off the car. Yvonne held onto his arm, smiled, and stepped onto the red carpet together. It looked like they were madly in love with each other. The guards kept up with them in an orderly manner.


    She noticed that Natasha had followed after Yvonne hastily.


    As she was acting as Sean’s assistant at the event, she immediately picked up the hem of her dress and quickly caught up with Sean. She then stood behind him obediently.


    Sean noticed Eli from the corner of his eyes. He grabbed her handsecretlyand then let go of it in the next second.


    Eli straightened her back. Her heart was beating so fast that it almost jumped out of her throat.


    Why did he do that? Didn’t he care if he was photographed?N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive ? material.


    However, it seemed that they were no reporters around him. The ones who could protect him were probably all his confidants. However, it was always better to not take any risks.


    There was still a possibility that it was Sean’s confidant who wanted to kill her.


    The soldiers pushed the door open when they passed through the corridor. There was light music ying inside, adding to the grandeur and sophistication of the event.


    There was a muchrger audience than she had imagined. She had read in a magazine that the Prime Minister in F Country was twelve years younger than his wife.


    She had paid attention to him because of her gossipy nature. At that time, she thought that he was quite handsome.


    His wife looked graceful, with the maturity and elegance of a woman in her fifties. However, the age gap between them was too far apart. At first nce, they looked more like a mother and son.


    After all, women usually look older than men.


    She looked at Sean subconsciously. She was older than him. If they were still together in the next 15 years, then…


    Nonsense, how could they still be together? She had thought too much.


    Sean stepped forward and smiled. He reached out and shook hands with the Prime Minister of F Country. He looked so generous and majestic. She could feel his strong aura of royalty.


    He spoke them in theirnguage.


    She couldn’t understand a word.


    When did Sean learn theirnguage? Seeing that they were allughing, she also smiled. It couldn’t be wrong to follow the others.


    The Prime Minister’s wife brought a gift to Yvonne.


    Yvonne also spoke in theirnguage and passed the gift toNatashabeside her.


    “Let’s take a seat,” Sean spoke in English. She finally understood.


    The people in A Country regarded table etiquette highly. For example, it was an unspoken rule that the host of the banquet must sit opposite the door. The most important guest must sit on the right side of the host and the wife of the host must sit near the door.


    Eli, as Sean’s assistant, naturally sat down on his left.


    Beneath the table, Sean grabbed her hand once again…
