It's Love That Blinds Him
It’s Love That Blinds Him – Chapter 10

“Malcolm, are you planning on going to the party too?” Enoch asked in shock, almost spitting out the water that was in his mouth as he looked at Malcolm, who was eating elegantly.

” For what? Do you have a problem with this? » Malcolm looked at Enoch with raised eyebrows before continuing to eat.

“No, I have absolutely no problem with that. I was just curious why someone like you, who never attended such parties before, would suddenly be keen to go? “, Enoch replied calmly.

“Pretend I’m not there,” Malcolm replied coldly.

“Are you saying you don’t want the public to know?” So what’s the point of your being at the party? » Enoch felt like his brother was going to drive him crazy.

“Just do what I tell you, understand?” » Malcolm didn’t like to explain his actions at all.

Even though they were just half-brothers who shared the same father, it didn’t affect their relationship in any way. Enoch was almost the spitting image of their father, while Malcolm was mixed race, as his mother was Latina. When they stood side by side, people who had never met them before could not guess that they were brothers.

Furthermore, Malcolm had a very private life, and he was never exposed in the media, so no one knew that he was the real CEO of the Evans Group.

“Why does Malcolm suddenly want to attend the party? » Enoch was confused.

“By the way, will you be coming with someone to the party, Malcolm?” You can’t come to a party alone, right? » Suddenly something crossed Enoch’s mind and he became excited.

“Have you been too inactive lately?” » Malcolm took a napkin and wiped his mouth before leaning back in his chair, looking at Enoch indifferently.

” No. On the contrary, I am very busy. I have a video conference I need to attend in a moment. » Enoch judged that it was in his best interest not to say more.

Malcolm was definitely someone not to be trifled with, and Enoch understood that he shouldn’t be too nosy about his personal affairs. Ultimately, if he made Malcolm angry, he would be transferred abroad to start a new market. Malcolm wasn’t at all the type to be nice to him and show mercy to him just because they were related.

Thinking about this, Enoch became nervous and thought it best to quickly finish eating before returning to his work. If he sat any longer, he might be punished.

“Malcolm, I’m full, so I’m going back to the company.” I’ll see you in the evening.

“Are you going to impress everyone at the party tonight, wildcat?” »

Malcolm said to himself with an expectant look in his eyes. He was more curious about Lucia’s reaction when she received the outfits he had sent her.

“A week is quite a long time. I won’t let you run away from me again. »

In DZ Media

The receptionist approached Lucia with a package in her hands. “Lucia, this package has arrived for you,” she said with a smile.

” THANKS. » Lucia nodded and took the package from him with a smile.

Since the sender’s name was not mentioned on the package, she took it back to her office with a frown. As soon as she sat down at her desk, Lloyd came to her and told her she could go to the salon this afternoon to get her hair and makeup done.

It was clear to Lucia that Lloyd attached great importance to this celebration. And his actions were understandable, because it was impossible for a small company like DZ Media to attend a party at a large company like the Evans Group until then.

With a small shuffle of the shoulders, Lucia picked up her package, packed her things, and left. It was still very early, so she wanted to take a nap at home before heading to the living room. Besides, Lloyd had been very generous and had made an appointment for her at the salon. The company would reimburse her for the salon fees, so she had no reason not to go there to get her hair and makeup done.

She returned home taking her time; It had been a long time since she had a quiet afternoon. After taking a shower, she set the alarm and fell asleep.

She woke up a little later and headed to the bathroom, feeling dizzy. That’s when she opened her eyes and saw the mysterious package in her room. She realized she hadn’t ordered anything online lately. She woke up from her doze, checked the time, walked over to the package and opened it.

Once she saw what was inside, she was stunned for a moment.

It was a white box marked with a double-C logo. Lucia opened the white box and saw a long golden tube dress, made of a very luxurious fabric that could easily show off her curves. There was also a pair of matching shoes.

And obviously it wasn’t a fake. The dress was certainly worth tens of thousands of dollars. It was impossible for anyone to make fun of her like that.

Thinking of this, Lucia put the dress and shoes in the box, and began to look for a clue. That’s when she found a beautiful golden note with a handwritten message on it.

“Wildcat, I’ll see you tonight.” »

“Oh my God…” –

Lucia didn’t know what to do anymore. “Turns out Malcolm didn’t lie the other day when he told Mina he worked at the Evans Group. Or is he just one of the party guests? »

His mind was invaded by a multitude of thoughts, and his drowsiness dissipated. She didn’t yet know whether to wear the dress or return the package to its sender, so she looked at him in confusion. Malcolm’s face kept popping up in her mind, and thinking of the things they had done before, Lucia couldn’t help but blush.

“You can’t sleep with him again,” she told herself internally.

Lucie looked at the dress with bitterness in her heart. If she didn’t wear it, he might think she was a coward, but if she did, he might misunderstand her intentions.

“Oh…” After letting out a sigh, Lucia closed the box and took it to the living room with her.

“Humph! I’m not a coward! »

At the Evans Hotel

The Evans Group party was to be held at the Group hotel. It was a Western-style buffet banquet where waiters and waitresses shuttled back and forth to serve drinks to guests.

It was no surprise that the hotel was a five star; the food was fresh and delicious. There was a Michelin star chef.

The women were in their best outfits. They were all trying to look better than the other women at the party. They all wanted to attract the most coveted bachelor, but if they couldn’t, they would be delighted to meet some upper-class men. The men were also busy trying to expand their social relationships, and the delicious food served at the party was nothing more than an accessory to them.

The only people who are interested in the food are people like Lucia, who only came because their boss asked them to. She had no connections and was not an elite woman.

After putting on the dress in the salon, Lucia had to admit that Malcolm knew her size very well. He had chosen the perfect dress for her that best suited her body. Once the stylist did her makeup, she looked very charming and elegant. And the golden high heels made her legs look slender. The dress had a nice slit that showed a lot of her skin, and her hair was curled without being tight.

Lucia put on the jewelry that had been delivered to her in the living room. Looking at herself in the mirror, she couldn’t help but admit that she looked particularly lovely that evening. As soon as she entered the banquet venue, all the men present were stunned by her beauty.

Even her colleagues, who were used to seeing her as a workaholic, were surprised when they saw her dressed like an elegant woman. When they saw her, they couldn’t help but whistle at her. Rolling her eyes at them, Lucia entered the banquet hall and sat in the corner.

It was a place where women were just accessories to men.

She wanted to know who Malcolm was and how he knew which salon she had gone to.

After the host’s simple introductory speech, the party officially began. Enoch, the deputy CEO of the Evans Group, led his partner onto the dance floor for the opening dance, and soon everyone followed them onto the dance floor.

Lucia rejected the few men who invited her to dance with them. She just sat quietly, observing everyone. She was really happy to be able to enjoy the delicious food served to her at the party.

Soon after, she became distracted by the food and stopped paying attention to what was happening around her at the party. She also didn’t want to think about all the unexplainable things that had happened earlier in the day and began to focus all her attention on the food.

No matter how much she ate, she never gained weight. She was the type of person who never said no to a good meal, especially when it was so delicious.

However, his peace was soon ruined. Looking at the person in front of her, Lucia felt like she was going to have a headache. ” Again! »

“Hey, look who we have here!” I didn’t think the Evans Group would invite people like you to their party. Did you steal an invitation to enter? Or did you disguise yourself as a waitress to sneak inside? » Mina’s sharp voice came from above her.

Lucia looked so beautiful that evening that it was natural for the other women present to be jealous of her. Moreover, his distant character had already attracted the attention of all the men. Mina couldn’t believe she saw Lucia when she saw her at the party.

Setting down her plate gracefully, Lucia stood up. She didn’t want to fight with Mina here, because she came to the party to represent her company. No matter what happened, she couldn’t let her personal feelings get in the way of her work.

“Did you sneak in here hoping to seduce a man?” Or did you think your fake dress would help you look like a lady? The Evans Group only invites the rich and powerful to its parties. I can’t believe I met a poor girl like you here. » Noticing Lucia’s silence, Mina began to throw aggressive insults at her. She was furious that someone like Lucia had sneaked into a party reserved for the elite.

When the others heard them, they turned around to see what was happening. Frowning, Lucia wondered if she should defend herself or just walk away. After thinking for a while, she decided to ignore Mina.

” What? You want to leave because I exposed you? There’s no pimp here today to help you! » How could Mina miss such a perfect opportunity to humiliate Lucia?

She grabbed Lucia’s arm, causing her to stagger. Lucia immediately stood up and avoided falling. But the commotion diverted everyone’s attention to the quiet man standing in the distance.

“Malcolm?” » Following everyone’s gaze, Lucia looked at the man at the door who was causing such an uproar.

Malcolm stood there, dressed in a silver-gray suit, pink shirt, and gray tie, looking dapper. Its size and remarkable appearance attracted everyone’s attention.

It was the first time Lucia had seen him in evening clothes. He looked completely different from before. In fact, he looked more dominant, but he also seemed very reserved. His manners were like those of a king.

“But who is this one?” »

Malcolm’s appearance caused some commotion among the guests. Even some of the senior executives at the Evans Group were stunned to see him there. When they finally came out of their torpor, they approached him to greet him, but when they met his cold gaze, they stopped in their tracks. A bit as if Malcolm was warning them that if they dared to greet him publicly, he would punish them as soon as the party was over.

Senior managers therefore understood that they had to act as if they did not know him.

After glancing at the others, who moved aside to make room for him, Malcolm moved toward the back of the room, where Lucia was. Looks like she got herself into trouble again.
