Johanna was relieved in her heart to see that Janet and the other designers were getting along well. She said to Janet, "I'll go say hi to Mrs. Blake now."
Lila was ignored in the meantime.
At this sort of fashion party, people usually chatted together in groups. At just a glance, Lila appeared to be isolated and she looked a little embarrassed.
Everyone walked past her and proceeded to ignore her.
After all, the White family announced that Janet was their biological daughter, which immediately turned Lila into a joke.
With a glass of wine clutched in her hand, Lila sat there rather awkwardly.
She used to be popular at all the parties, but now, she was sitting alone on a bench.
As she sat there, she caught sight of a familiar man.
Levi Glyn had been one of her craziest admirers.
The Glyn family started from scratch, engaging in the real estate business. Originally, Lila looked down upon them, but no one was willing to talk to her right then. And she didn't want to be made into a joke here.
With a glass of wine in her hand, Lila made her way up to Levi with a smile on her face and said, "Levi, what a nice surprise to see you here. I thought you didn't like such parties."
If this was in the past, Levi would have felt overjoyed that she wanted to talk to him.
However, hearing her words now, Levi turned around and said in an indifferent voice, "My dad asked me to come here. He said Mrs. White would show up today."
Lila smiled and said, "Yeah, my mom likes these sorts of events. She usually has a lot of time on her hands."
Hearing her words, Levi only gave her a perfunctory answer. He simply took a sip of the red wine in his glass and turned his head to check out Janet.
"Enjoy yourself. I'll go talk with them now. Please excuse me." After having said that, Levi made his way toward Janet.
Lila was startled, to say the least.
After that, she could make out Levi enthusiastically introducing himself to Janet, "Miss White, I'm Levi Glyn, the eldest son of the Glyn family. It just so happens that we live in the same neighborhood. I heard that it's your first time in Barnes. If you're feeling bored and want to hang out, you can call me at any time. I'm very familiar with the city."
Levi wore the same warm smile he used to give Lila once.
