As soon as I took the champagne, two people came over and greeted Shelton.
"Mr. Cowell, I didn't expect to see such a busy man like you here. Lucky me." A man in a black tuxedo spoke first.
Another man in a light- colored suit followed. "That's right, Mr. Cowell. The thing we talked about last time..."
"Sorry, my fiancee is here. She felt bored when she heard about my work, so if you have anything to talk about, leave it to my office."
Before the man in a light-colored suit could finish his words, Shelton interrupted him.
Both of them looked at me at the same time. At first, they were puzzled, but then they seemed to think of something. They both said, "Your fiancee is beautiful. You're a lucky man, Mr. Cowell."
"Yeah, we are so envious of you."
They flattered first, and then the man in a lightcolored suit said, "Mr. Cowell, tomorrow morning, I will go to your office, is that okay?"
Shelton's mood was obviously much better after hearing what they said.
He nodded and said, "Okay."
When Shelton agreed, they both smiled and said, "Then please excuse us."
Then they turned around and left together.
I didn't say anything from beginning to end.
Shelton patted my hand and said in a gentle voice, "If you feel bored, tell me. I'll take you away."
"You don't need to. It's fine. I'll always be with you."
This was the deal. Since I had said it, I had to do it.
Shelton was not stupid. He naturally knew what I meant, so the smile on his face faded away a bit.
When we stood there, the crowd dispersed and two people appeared in front of us.
It were a couple who were hugging each other. They looked very intimate.
I knew both of them, but I never expected that they would be together.
Dulcie and Roger.
When I saw them, they also saw me.
The attitude of them was obviously different.
Dulcie wanted to leave.
But Roger took her directly by the shoulders and walked over.
Dulcie's face, which had been as calm as usual, suddenly turned red to her ears after she was hugged by him.
Roger was tall and handsome. Although Dulcie was well- maintained, she was in her fifties. Naturally, she was not comparable to those young girls. It was very strange for two people like them to be together.
Even though Dulcie's expression was full of unwillingness, Roger still came over with Dulcie in his arms.
Walking to the front, Roger looked at Shelton with an evil smile. "Vo, Bro."
The way he addressed Shelton seemed to have confirmed the relationship between him and Dulcie.
Shelton looked at them calmly and said to Dulcie, "Congratulations."
"Nonsense!" Dulcie's face turned redder.
Despite her age, she was still acting like a young girl in love.
She seemed like suddenly felt embarrassed, so she pushed away Roger's hand on her shoulder and stood there alone.
"Dulcie, what's wrong? Are you shy?"
Roger looked at Dulcie. Although his tone was gentle, his expression was playful.
Looking at them, I suddenly remembered what Roger said before. He said that he wanted the Cowell Family to be in chaos.
