When Jenna stood on stage like an angel while she was presenting, Rayan's eyes hardly left her. His face was full of appreciation and indulgence. Hansen noticed this and he felt uncomfortable.
He understood the meaning of Rayan's smile.
This was a provocation.
Since Hansen had Aria with him now, Rayan could pursue Jenna openly. That was why he was smiling so brightly.
"D*mn," Hansen cursed in anger from the depth of his heart.
Jenna came down from the stage and saw Hansen walking up the stage holding Aria's hand. Hansen was energetic, and Aria smiled brightly. Jenna felt it was an eyesore to see them walking together.
She felt as if her heart was filled with rocks.
Today, he had successfully signed a big contract. The transformation of Richards Group was perfectly executed.
She would have nothing to do with this anymore in the future. He did not need her anymore.
There was no reason for her to stay here, she thought to herself.
"Jen," Rayan approached her gracefully with a gentle smile on his face.
"Brother Rayan, you are here too," Jenna turned her head and was met with the bright eyes looking at her deeply. The admiration in his bright eyes was obvious.
"Of course, you're here. I would definitely come to see you." Rayan was gentle and courteous, "Jen, you have done it again. Losing you is my biggest loss and also the loss of the Whalen Group. I wonder if I still have a chance to invite you back?"
His words were half-joking and half-serious. Jenna was clear about it and couldn't help smiling.
"Let's go, let's sit outside," Rayan brought it up in time. Jenna was feeling uncomfortable and wanted to relax. When she heard his suggestion, she agreed to it and followed him as they walked outside. Anyway, whatever happened here from now on had nothing to do with her.
The celebration party soon began.
On the lawn outside, there were long buffet stations. Each station had their own senior chefs and bartenders to cater to the tastes of the younger crowd. The indoor banquet hall was even more luxurious. Exquisite wine and alcohol were displayed on the tables. There were also desserts and pastries from around the world. Everyone would definitely find something they fancied.
Generally, the more senior crowd stayed in the banquet hall. Jenna didn't like the dull atmosphere, so she just stood outside.
Rayan stood close by her side.
Light music played and the atmosphere was enchanting.
"Cheers!" Rayan picked up the champagne in his hand and raised the glass to Jenna. Jenna changed into a fashionable dress during the break. She looked cheerful and lively.
She smiled faintly and raised her glass.
Her lips had just touched the glass, but before the champagne could slip into her mouth, she stopped her movements.
Her eyes were fixed in front of her, and her heart was about to jump out. There was an embarrassed look on her face.
Hansen was walking towards her in his suit, with a rose-colored corsage on his chest. The edges of the corsage were lined with a circle of bright violets.
He looked personable, noble, and elegant.
He stuck one of his hands in his trouser pocket, and held a glass of champagne with the other one hand. He walked steadily, with a convergent and confident smile on his face. He looked exuberant and charming.
Jenna suddenly saw the chill in his eyes. Although he had a smile on his face and he greeted other people from time to time, Jenna felt that his eyes were shooting straight at her, like a ball of thorns.
There was a trace of inexplicable tension, but she quickly felt relieved.
Aria was still on his arm!
If she guessed right, he should have come over for a toast out of courtesy.
Sure enough, someone stopped him and greeted him. He clinked glasses and toasted with them politely. Aria stood beside him as the hostess and conversed with the guests.
Jenna smiled bitterly in her heart!
Why did she still think of him?
She should stop having thoughts about Hansen. It had nothing to do with her. He had already said that he would agree to her request after the press conference.
He was letting her go, letting her live the life she wanted. He was also liberating himself. After all, he had a beautiful woman on his arm.
How could she not understand?
After all, they had to start over with their own lives.
She gave a helpless smile.
Rayan looked at her deeply, and he didn't look away for a second.
The expressions on her face fell into his eyes and his heart. He was deep in thought.
What kind of woman was Jenna? Although he had only known her for only about half a year, he was clear.
She was the strongest, most motivated, most tenacious, kindest, most capable, and most conscientious woman he had ever met. Before her, he had never seen such a woman. Her temperament was low- key and noble, and even if there were thousands of lights shining on her, she did not show a hint of hypocrisy.
In fact, what attracted him was not her stunning appearance. He had seen many beautiful women. Few women could attract him simply because of their beauty. What he valued more was her wisdom. Her beautiful qualities, simple and unpretentious, deeply attracted him. He fell head over heels for her.
He had not known her in her first twenty-five years, so there was nothing he could have done.
However, she still had a long life in front of her. If he could be with her, what a wonderful thing it would be!
Therefore, he would not give up. Unless she was married and was living a happy life!
However, she was still stuck in the past. He was patient enough to wait for her, for the day she would willingly be with him.
Just now, when Jenna saw Hansen walking out holding Aria's hand, he picked up the pain in her eyes.
This meant that she had not let go yet. She still needed some time.
Time could make people forget everything; he firmly believed in this.
There was no need to be in a hurry.
