“Charles, can you not be so busybody?” Kathleen shot him a disdainful look.
“Am I?” Puzzlement was written all over Charles’ face.
“Yes.” Kathleen knitted her brows. “Don't do this again. Otherwise, I'll never forgive you.”
Her brother just smile. “It's not me who set you up this time. Ryder told me he wanted to meet you and promised he would help me to convince his sister to take the role. I had no other choice.”
She puffed out her cheeks, refusing to say anything in reply.
“Once I leave Blissful Sect, Brilliance Corporation will be my only company. You don't want your brother to go bankrupt, do you?” Charles asked pitifully.
“I'll take care of you,” she declared in a solemn manner. “I'm pretty loaded.”
“How could I let you take care of me? I'm a man!” He stroked her hair dotingly.
Only then did Kathleen finally crack a sweet smile.
“Can we go now?” she asked.
“Yeah. Let's go.” Charles nodded.
When they were about to leave, Kathleen saw Tyson among the crowd.
Tyson also saw her and gave her a timid smile.
Immediately, she felt goosebumps all over her.
“What's wrong?” Charles noticed something was amiss with her.
“N-Nothing.” She felt guilty all of a sudden.
Just then, Tyson came over.
Upon seeing him, Charles seemed to have realized something, and his gaze darkened.
“Ms. Johnson, what a coincidence.” An awkward grin spread across Tyson's face.
Kathleen asked flatly, “Is something the matter?”
“No. I just came over to greet you.”
Kathleen had an uncanny feeling that it was not that simple. “When did you arrive?”
“I've been here for a while now.” Tyson did not dare to lie to her. “Mr. Macari...”
He trailed off.
“Is Samuel here too?” she questioned coldly.
Tyson nodded in response.
No wonder I felt a chill running down my spine just now. So Samuel has been watching me. But we've talked through the things between us, so why should I be bothered by his opinions of me?
“Mr. Hackney, enjoy your time dancing here. We'll leave first.”
Kathleen was ready to get out of here.
Tyson wanted to say something, but he held his tongue.
With that, Kathleen pulled Charles with her as she walked out of the place.
Charles smiled meaningfully at Tyson and did not say a word.
Meanwhile, Tyson hurriedly dashed away in search of Samuel.
The latter was on the second floor.
He saw the entire scene when Ryder and Kathleen were dancing together, but he did not show himself.
He merely stood behind a stoa on the second floor and watched their every move.
Tyson approached him and greeted, “Mr. Macari.”
Samuel wore an indifferent expression on his face. “Did you ask her what was going on?”
“Ms. Johnson seemed to be quite hostile when she saw me. I didn't dare to ask her.”
Samuel deadpanned, “Do I seem very friendly to you?”
Tyson froze for a split second before shaking his head frantically. “No. Not at all.”
Samuel frowned, causing Tyson to break out in cold sweat.
Samuel's brow was deeply furrowed. Ryder and Kathleen were chatting happily just now. I have no right to stop their interaction. Compared to Caleb, Ryder is much more dependable. Ryder's personality is similar to Christopher's, but the former is more assertive. If it wasn't for Felix's interference then, Christopher and Kathleen would have been together. Unfortunately, there was no way Christopher could fight Felix. But it's different for Ryder as he's the head of the Xenakis family.
Samuel was deeply troubled.
