A few heads turned, to see a good-looking man, probably in his late twenties.
He had fine features, his eyes twinkling with a playful light. A total heartthrob.
Unlike most men around him who were suited up, he was dressed pretty casually, like he was just here to join the fun. But with his good looks and tall stature, he could pull off any outfit without coming off as rude.
Seraphina had met a lot of people, heard a lot of names, but none seemed to interest her.
Feeling a bit worn out, she just had her bodyguard clear a quiet spot for her to rest when someone approached her.
The bodyguard stopped the person momentarily. Seraphina looked up to see a handsome young man waving at her with a smile, blocked by the bodyguard.
She exchanged a glance with him and signaled her bodyguard to let him through.
The guy came over and took a seat next to Seraphina, opening with a smile, "Hey, I'm Keeley."
His introduction had Seraphina raising an eyebrow, but she responded with a chuckle, "Hello. Got a business card?"
Keeley shrugged, "Nope. We can't chat without a business card, huh?"
"Not really." Seraphina toyed with her hair, grinning at him, "It's just that everyone who's approached me today has given me one. You're the first one who hasn't. Kinda threw me off."
Keeley turned to look at her, "How could I be like them? I'm not here for your title."
"Then what are you here for?" Seraphina couldn't help but laugh, "If it's not for my title, it must be for me, right?"
Keeley held her gaze, and instead of denying it, he laughed and slowly said, "You look stunning tonight."
"Thank you." Seraphina responded.
Keeley shrugged, "Just telling it like it is."
Seraphina shook her head, "I'm not thanking you for the compliment."
"Huh?" Keeley raised an eyebrow, "Then what's it for?"
Seraphina called for a waiter, took two glasses of champagne, handed one to him, and clinked glasses with him, smiling, "Thanks for feeding me, getting me drinks, and not pressuring me."
At her words, Keeley seemed a bit taken aback.
Seraphina finished her drink and shook her glass at him. Through the crystal-clear glass, he saw her face - delicate yet sly. His heart, which seemed to have paused, started beating again, faster and faster.
Keeley laughed, "Although I'm not quite sure what you're thanking me for, I'll take it."
After saying that, he also drained his glass as a toast to Seraphina.
He said he didn't understand what she was saying, but Seraphina knew that he understood better than anyone else.
