Chapter 32 A Unexpected Kiss
"Yes, I'm hosting a dinner party. Can you come?"
A man's clear and bright voice came from the other end of the phone.
Alyssa was a businesswoman, but her life used to be monotonous. She rarely went to any dinner parties.
She was going to refuse, but she seemed to have realized something. So she replied, "Mr. Jones, when will it begin? I'll go and take a look."
"Ha ha, I've sent you so many invitations and finally you are willing to come. I will message you the time and place, just call me when you get there!"
Henry sounded very happy on the other side of the phone.
"Okay, let's talk later."
Alyssa then hung up.
At the same time that evening, Duncan was caught by Bella when he was hanging out in a bar.
Bella must have spent quite a few hours getting dressed today. She was wearing light but delicate makeup, and a backless lilac evening dress. Her slender and tall figure looked so attractive. When she stood next to Duncan, they seemed to be such a perfect couple. The passersby couldn't help looking at them.
"Flora, I need to borrow Duncan tonight."
Bella said to Flora with a smile.
That sounded a bit weird to Duncan. Borrowing? He felt like a kept man!
Flora could no longer take Duncan as an ordinary employee after what happened last night. She said with a smile, "OK, I won't need him here tonight."
Soon Duncan was dragged out of the bar by Bella.
"Where are you taking me to?"
Duncan asked Bella in confusion.
Bella gave him a pitiful face. "I told you my family arranged a blind date for me. The date invited me to a dinner party tonight, and my father insisted that I should go with him. I need your help...' Duncan understood and asked, "You want me be a straw man?"
Bella grinned a shy smile. Her petty body clung to Duncan, shimmying and letting his arms feel her tender body.
"Please, Duncan, I knew you're a good guy, and you wouldn't want to see me getting in trouble, right?"
Duncan was so happy feeling the tenderness. He was so fascinated that he agreed without a second thought. "Fine, I'll help you!"
"Great!"
Bella jumped up for joy and put on a triumphant posture.
Duncan forced a smile and didn't say anything. He got in the car with Bella and they headed for the destination. They left without noticing that a man was standing under the shade of the trees across the road and spying on them.
"Sir... Duncan is out now..."
Ten minutes later, the car pulled over at the gate of a cluster of luxurious villas.
Duncan got out of the car and glanced around. This place is packed with luxury cars such as Lamborghini and Ferrari.
Obviously, the guests of this dinner party were all no ordinary people.
Bella might be the most unimpressive one here, for her ride was just a Volkswagen CC.
Duncan didn't have to investigate to know that Bella's family was one of the most prominent ones in JN City. She could've chosen a Ferrari, but she had a VW CC instead. She's really trying to keep a low profile.
"Duncan, Let's go."
As they got out of the car, Bella took Duncan's hand very naturally. They seemed so intimate.
The dinner party was in a huge luxurious villa. When they got in, they saw the hall filled with huddles of people.
All men were in suits and ties, and all women were wearing gorgeous makeup. They were talking and laughing.
But when Bella brought Duncan in, the noise in this place suddenly went down.
Bella was born in a prominent family. Her family was one of the five biggest ones in JN City, and she was the only daughter, which, along with her pretty appearances, made her the focus of the public wherever she was.
She used to be alone, until she brought a plus-one here today. That arose people's interest.
"Bella, there you are!"
Just by then, a young man dressed in luxurious clothes came forward and looked at Duncan with resentful looks.
"I came over to tell you that you should give up. Nelson, I'm seeing someone now!"
Bella said as she started at the young man in front of her. She seemed a bit impatient, and the way she put it was quite straightforward. "Seeing him?"
Nelson laughed in anger, "Bella, stop making it up! Everyone knows that you're too demanding to find a boyfriend. Is he covering for you?" Bella was a bit panicked when she heard that. She didn't expect Nelson to be so smart and could make out her plan so easily.
Nelson turned over and checked Duncan from head to toe.
Duncan was in the Giorgio Armani Flora sent him, which was expensive and luxurious enough.
But Nelson was born in a very rich and influential family, and these non-customized suits were as average as booth goods.
Everyone in his social circle wore customized clothing only.
"Dude, did she hire you? How much did she pay you? I'll pay you double immediately as long as you leave now!"
Nelson looked at Duncan and seemed very confident.
Duncan smile and asked with an intriguing smile, "Are you rich?"
"I won't deny it. I started my own business after college and now I own two companies, each with a market value of over 100 million." He explained with a trace of arrogance on his face.
Owning two companies with market values of over 100 million in 24 years old made him the most outstanding person among his peers. He said and he looked at Bella. The hint in his eyes was obvious. He was telling Bella that he deserved her.
Duncan widened his eyes and put on a dramatic face, asking, "Two big companies? Impressive. Then how much are you giving me?"
"Ten hundred thousand, is it enough? I don't think you would be able to save that much through ten years' hard labor. Just take the money and leave!"
Seeing Duncan being so cooperative, Nelson became even more confident. He threw a check on Duncan.
He looked so disdainful and believed that the poor young man would never refuse that much money.
Duncan took it over and tore it into pieces in front of everybody.
"Love is much more precious than money! Mr. Wright! I love Bella, and I won't leave her no matter how much you give me!"
A light of resentment flashed in Nelson's eyes. "You are making fun of me? I don't care who you are... you should really go now, or I'll have you taken away."
"Nelson! You're crossing the line. If you dare touch him, I won't spare you, too!"
Bella said as she looked at Nelson angrily.
Seeing how protective Bella was, Nelson was jealous and angry. He looked a bit sad. "Bella, you hired him to fool me, right? I know you don't love me, but you don't have to do this. Give me some time, and I'll prove my love to you."
"That won't be necessary. I've got a boyfriend now," Bella said. She didn't look happy.
Nelson yelled in fury, "I don't believe it. Prove it to me!"
"Okay, then I'll prove it to you!"
Bella just wanted to get rid of the annoying man. She was so impatient that what she did next shocked everybody there!
She hugged Duncan, stood on tiptoe, and kissed him!
Duncan was stunned by this unexpected kiss.¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶
