Anna did not know what to say. Hearing Clare's direct words, she felt too nervous. At the same time, Matteo had noticed Anna.

The two looked at each other.

-Go

Chiara pushed Anna, indicating for her to go forward.

But Anna did not move and did not dare to take a step. Hesitantly, she looked up at Chiara, who was smiling. Chiara asked, "What is it? President Matteo is waiting in front of you. If you are late, he will go in alone. You would miss the opportunity tonight and come in vain.

After listening to her, Anna realized that now she would have to find the courage to take steps, since she had promised Matteo that she would attend the party as his companion.

Not wanting to leave, she just had to go ahead.

-Thank you.

Anna took a deep breath, plucked up her courage and walked toward Matteo.

Matteo was tall and handsome as if surrounded by a halo, which attracted a lot of attention.

Those who would come to the banquet were upper class, including parents who wanted their daughters to broaden their horizons and meet important people, like a blind date. Naturally, those who had daughters were aiming for Matteo.

Before Matteo entered, many girls were already paying attention to him. Then, some parents sniffed and said, "Don't look at him. That man is too stubborn, you will not succeed with him."

Others added, "It's true. They say he has rejected many women, and except for his secretary, he never comes to parties with a female companion. But I also heard that the secretary has been married for many years and has children.

-He doesn't like women but men?

-I think it is impossible, because there are no men to spare. The horrible thing is that his schedule is too regular. It is said that once Lord Gerard specially invited him to the stage and asked many beautiful women, to seduce him, but he was not at all interested in them.

-It was impossible to get him.

Some girls insisted and tugged at father's sleeve, "Father, I think the reason why he is acting like this is that he has not met his love. That is the only reason if he has no problems in every aspect. He's not interested in girls from before, which means he hasn't met his better half yet, so why not try?

Her father thought her words sounded very silly, but he didn't know what to say. Maybe he was the one who had spoiled her too much, that's why he said these silly things.

When he wanted to scold her, a person he had just talked to turned around and said to the girl, "You're right. There are no men who don't like women, that only happens when the woman is not beautiful! Why don't you hit on her? You can accompany each other.

The two girls looked at each other and showed contempt, but soon pretended to be very friendly.

-Then let's go.

-Okay.

Matthew paid attention to Anna the whole time. At first she seemed to be fine. But gradually, he became annoyed because as she was coming toward him, suddenly a man stopped her and smiled at her as if he was talking to her.

Inexplicably, this annoyed Matteo.

Matteo's mouth curled intensely and he turned cold. As he was about to approach her, the two women stopped him.

-President Matteo.

-Hello, President Matteo. I am Miranda Pozzo of the Pozzo Group. From a distance I saw that you are here, are you waiting for someone?

Seeing that Miranda started chatting with him, the other approached Matteo and said smilingly, -President Matteo, I see you are waiting for someone, do you need my help?

Matteo frowned and looked at those who suddenly arrived.

-Is there something wrong?

Surprised by Matteo's coolness, they both froze and did not know how to answer him.

-If there is nothing wrong, step aside.

Although Matteo normally had a good relationship with people, it was different now. He no longer had the patience to deal with them.

Miranda became a little nervous. Perhaps because of Matteo's coldness, she had to take a few steps back without saying anything.

As for the other girl, Leila Riva, seeing that Miranda was afraid of him, he felt contempt for her.

"That girl wants to seduce him, but she has no patience. She withdrew only because of Matteo's words, as she can be in this circle," she thought.

And Leila, she approached Matteo and hugged him on the shoulders, "President Matteo, I see that you came alone, and so did I. May I invite you to be my partner tonight?

Seeing her, Miranda became irritated and thought, "Fuck. She outdid me."

But she soon calmed down because Matteo's face became very dark when she hugged him. Matteo looked very disgruntled and looked very dangerous.

-Let me go.

Being a gentleman, Matteo put up with her.

Noticing that Matteo did not push her away even though he was angry, Leila believed that she was not really hostile to him and wanted to be with him more. But a moment later, she was pushed by Matteo.

A scream was heard: -Ah!

Miranda saw that Leila had been pushed and had fallen to the ground in a very embarrassing way, and she felt proud of herself first.

Everyone was surprised that this incident had happened, even some people did not know what had happened.

Some people who had seen everything rejoiced at the misfortune.

Obviously, Miranda was one of them.

"Huf, that girl should have been more friendly to him. Good thing I retired," she thought.

But Matteo did not return to check on Leila, because he had warned her to let him go. Be that as it may, he had to take care of everything that happened next.

***

Anna had not thought that the man would stop her. He told her that since Anna was alone, he wanted to invite her as a partner.

At first Anna politely told him that someone was waiting for her.

But after the man questioned her, Anna replied coyly. So he did not believe her.

-No one is waiting for you, right? Actually, don't be afraid of me, I am not bad. It's just that I see that you are too beautiful and I am attracted to you. I have never invited any woman to be my partner, and you would be the first.

After he finished speaking, the man thought that his words were so beautiful that Anna would be moved.

But at that moment a voice was heard: -Yes?
