"First Young Master, how could we not let her in when you've already said so? Miss, I'm really sorry. We didn't know who you were. If we had known earlier, we would have let you in. This way, please."
Kimberly froze on the spot, looking at Benedict's retreating figure worriedly. She didn't move an inch.
Benedict turned around and looked at Kimberly weakly with a faint smile.
"Hurry up and go in. The banquet will be over soon if you keep standing there like a fool," he said.
"But, you..." Kimberly was still worried about him.
"I will leave after watching you go in," Benedict replied.
"Well... you must keep to your words!" Kimberly said. Then, she gritted her teeth and walked forward. When she was at the door, she turned around and glanced at Benedict.
Benedict was looking at Kimberly gently with a faint smile. Seeing Kimberly glancing at himself, he said softly, "Go ahead, just go."
Kimberly was extremely sad. However, she still turned around and walked in.
Benedict stared at Kimberly's back until she disappeared from his sight. Then, he gave out a heavy cough and fell forward.
The people next to him hurried forward to hold him. "Master, are you alright? How did you get hurt like this?"
"It's not a big deal," Benedict cleared his throat and said. Then, he pushed those people away gently.
He didn't like to have close physical contact with these people.
"You seem to be seriously injured. Let me get some people to take you to the hospital."
"It's okay," Benedict shook his head slightly and said. He felt Kimberly might encounter some difficulties. Therefore... he couldn't go back to the hospital yet. He wouldn't be at ease if he didn't see Kimberly leaving with Maddox safely.
After entering the venue, Kimberly found that there were many people inside. Also, she had to take a long flight of stairs. Her gown was a little long. Therefore, she had to carry the hem of her gown and walked down the stairs slowly.
It was crowded at the banquet. There were a lot of tables as well. Kimberly couldn't find Maddox at all.
How was she going to find him?
After thinking for a while, Kimberly suddenly came up with an idea.
According to Maddox's social status in this city, he would be in the limelight at the banquet tonight. Therefore, Kimberly would just have to find him in the most bustling area.
Thinking of this, Kimberly was so happy that she almost shed tears of joy. She glanced at the scene and squeezed her way through to the place that seemed most crowded. She was really in a mess. Many people looked at her in disgust and avoided her. They were all staring at her strangely.
"Who is this? How happened? How did she get in here?" Someone said.
"I've never seen her before. Which family is she from? She's pretty good- looking," another person said.
"Haha! Let's go over and take a look," someone echoed.
Kimberly was on her way forward when she was suddenly blocked by two men. The two men each were holding a cocktail in their hands and smiled like hooligans. "Sweetie, I wonder if we have the honor to invite you to a dance?"
"Sorry, I'm looking for someone," Kimberly replied and then walked past them. However, they kept on pestering Kimberly. "Who are you looking for? We can help you if you tell us."
"That's right. It doesn't matter if you don't have time to dance. Let's get to know each other and be friends, what do you say?"
Kimberly was a bit flustered. "I'm sorry. I'm really in a hurry."
One of the men had already taken out his mobile phone and said, "C'mon. Add me on WeChat. You can leave after this."
