At then, she couldn’t help but look back at Rena, thinking that she was just as pretty as Cecilia.
Rena smiled and was about to say something but stopped when she saw Mark from a distance. He was talking with other people in a corner while holding a glass of champagne.
Under the crystal chandelier, his gentle face was flawless.
He was wearing a black and white classic suit that made him look extremely regal.

With a glass in his hand, he approached her.
But before he could come close, a couple happened to pass by, and the three of them bumped into one another.
“Mark,” Cecilia uttered, her voice almost inaudible.
Mark was holding up Cecilia’s body as he helped her regain her balance. Then, he turned to Thomas and said, “She’s still as careless as a child.”
Thomas coughed at his fist and forced himself to smile.
What could he say?
At that moment, Cecilia became nervous. She knew Mark like the back of her hand. She knew he said those words with a purpose in mind.

Meanwhile, Thomas looked at the two of them and felt like a third- wheel.

Despite what he felt, Mark kept silent. He knew that he had no right to prod.
