34 Suddenly Accompanied Arthur to Camille’s Party
The branch office inauguration ceremony chaired by Camille officially opened. The party was celebrated in a luxury hotel specially booked for the occasion. Arthur with a heavy heart intention, intends to attend the event alone. The man had just taken his car keys to immediately head there, but his cell phone rang. Arthur raised an eyebrow when he saw who was calling him.
“Hello, Mom. What’s wrong?”
[Dear! How are you, kid?]
“Hm? I’m fine. How about Mom?”
[Mom is also healthy. Um, Arthur, are you on your way to Camille’s event?]
“Hmm, I was just about to go there. What’s the matter? Mom and Dad are going there too, right?” Arthur asked as he walked out of the house.
[Actually ... your dad suddenly got sick and couldn’t come there.]
Arthur’s footsteps stopped, he couldn’t believe what he had just heard. “Got sick? What’s wrong with dad?” Arthur asked.
[Just a normal sick, his back hurts again. Well, it’s like this when it’s old.]
.....
Arthur breathed a sigh of relief, his dad was still active and having fun. At least there’s no need to think too hard like when Albern was still serving as president director. “Okay, then mom and dad can’t come, huh.”
[Yes, dad already informed Camille’s side. You’ll still come, won’t you, dear?]
“Yes, Mom.”
[Yeah! Please convey our greetings to that adorable girl!]
Arthur snorted. “Camille isn’t a girl anymore.”
[But she’s still adorable!]
“Okay, I have to drive, Mom. Can I hang up?” Arthur asked, finishing heating the car.
[Of course! But one more thing! Mom hasn’t seen you in a long time, don’t you miss Mom?]
“... of course I miss.”
[Then let’s go home, Mom will prepare delicious food for you.]
Arthur chuckled softly, his mom’s cheerful, spoiled, and easy-going nature always made people comfortable with her. Even so, Aquila also sometimes put pressure on Arthur.
They both often force him to get married. Aquila also often scolded him for playing with women a lot. Maybe because of being a fellow woman and understanding how it feels to be dumped, his mom really didn’t like Arthur’s character like that. However, Arthur understood and he realized that his actions might hurt some women. However, not all women are good. It was not entirely Arthur’s fault, because between himself and whoever the woman was, Arthur had never forced a relationship. He always adheres to the principle of will and will. Even Arthur didn’t want to touch a virgin woman.
Except for Kalea. After all, it was an accident.
After the call was closed, Arthur started to drive his car while calling someone. He felt guilty because he was happy when he got the news that his dad was sick. However, not because of that, he was finally able to invite Kalea to accompany him to the event.
[Hello?]
“Lea! I’ll be there in a minute. Get ready quickly, and dress up pretty.”
[Wait- what do you mean suddenly? Where are you taking me?]
“We don’t have much time left. See you, remember what I said earlier!” Arthur said he immediately ended the call. He turned towards the boutique first, bought a dress for Kalea. The choice fell on a light brown dress with a length of up to the ankles. This dress will show a body shape that will definitely fit Kalea’s body very well. After that, Arthur bought a bag, a bracelet, and heels to support the appearance of his sugar baby later. He does have a fashion sense that can’t be doubted.
After everything was finished, Arthur immediately drove his car again at a slightly above average speed towards the girl’s apartment.
“Wear this,” Arthur said as he handed Kalea a large shopping bag. He was panting for breath as he ran to the elevator, especially since he had been walking back and forth looking for clothes and accessories that fit Kalea.
Kalea blinked, hesitantly accepting the bag. Although she was still confused about what had happened, she immediately went to the walk-in closet to change into a dress that the man had bought for her. She was amazed by her current appearance, everything that Arthur bought was very chic and suited her body.
“Are you done?” Arthur asked, suddenly entering the room making Kalea a little surprised. The man couldn’t take his eyes off Kalea. He walked over to the girl to take a closer look. “It fits perfectly,” said Arthur.
“Th-thank you, you’re great at putting things together. Or did the salesgirl suggest you?” Kalea asked.
“No, I chose it myself.” For some reason, his perverted thoughts started to appear, Arthur immediately shook his head quickly to get rid of those thoughts. This is not the time for him to kiss and make Kalea look messy again.
‘Patience, Arthur. You can mess with Kalea after the party is over,’ Arthur thought to himself.
“... Are you okay?” Kalea asked, worried because Arthur suddenly smiled to himself like he was talking to someone else.
“Alright, let’s go!” Arthur exclaimed as he grabbed the girl’s arm out of the apartment.
Kalea gaped in disbelief, apparently Arthur took her to a luxurious event attended by important people. Again Arthur put her among them, people of the upper class. Moreover, this event came from a woman he had met while riding. Kalea wanted so badly to get out of here, this was not the place. However, Arthur’s grip was tight, as if not letting her leave the man’s side.
“Arthur! You’ve finally come ...” Camille didn’t expect Arthur to bring the brunette-haired woman back. While Kalea just smiled awkwardly, Kalea half-dead let go of the hand and Arthur finally let go.
“Camille, congratulations on the inauguration of your branch office,” Arthur said, congratulating her as he hugged Camille. The woman was no longer focused on Kalea, Camille happily returned Arthur’s hug.
After that, Kalea’s existence seemed so thin that they forgot about her. Even though she wanted to say congratulations, even if it was just a small talk. At least to be polite for having attended the party even though she wasn’t invited. Kalea’s gaze began to focus on the long and varied line of food. It looks so delicious and makes Kalea almost drool.
“Oh, Kalea?”
“Y-yes?!” Kalea said, in a panic as if she had been caught doing something immoral.
“Ah, you can enjoy the party alone, right? Just for a moment, Arthur must accompany me, hehe,” Camille said with a sweet smile.
“O-oh ... it’s okay. And congratulations on the inauguration of your branch office,” Kalea replied as she bowed politely. Camille laughed softly, what a beautiful main character in this party. Kalea was mesmerized by the woman’s beauty and cuteness.
“Thank you, I didn’t expect Arthur to bring you here. This is our second meeting, right?”
Kalea returned the sweet smile, apparently Camille didn’t mind her presence. “Yes.”
“Then you can enjoy the party, eat to your heart’s content!” After that, Camille was called by her parents.
“Lea, don’t stay far from here. I won’t be long, okay?” Arthur said to Kalea. The girl just nodded, her mind was already on the delicious food. Arthur snorted, Kalea didn’t hear him at all. Kalea’s current appearance would be really charming, Arthur was a little worried that a man would approach the girl. For some reason, Kalea always attracts the attention of strange men.
Wait, Arthur just realized his thoughts earlier. Strange man. Did he just admit that he too was a weirdo?
Arthur sighed heavily, Camille had called him to come over to the woman. “Lea, I’ll go there first.”
“Yeah, be careful~”
The man greeted Camille’s parents, their families have been close to each other for a long time even Arthur is like their own family. He also apologized that Albern and Aquila could not attend because of their dad’s sudden illness.
Arthur didn’t care if Camille or his parents knew that Arthur brought a woman to the event, at least Albern, Aquila and his sister didn’t see it with their own eyes. He can make excuses if suddenly his family asks who the woman he brought with him is. It’s not a difficult thing.
It’s different if they directly meet Kalea and the other women. The death questions from his parents were very dangerous, he was also afraid that his dad and mom would ask him to get married again. Arthur’s head was about to explode.
On the other hand, Kalea actually tasted the foods on the long table one by one. However, she was still trying to be elegant, as far as he knew. Several young men paid attention to her. How could she not, with the dress she was wearing, make Kalea really look stunning, her beautiful body was printed very clearly. However, Kalea didn’t realize it. She was too preoccupied with food and Arthur never came.
“Actually, what I’m doing here, I’m like a lost child,” Kalea muttered a little sadly. She looked at the people who looked cheerful and talked with each other. Only she seems alone.
Kalea decided to go to the toilet, she asked the maid where it was. After knowing it, she immediately rushed away. As usual, her energy runs out quickly if she is in a room full of many people. She entered the cubicle and remained there for a few minutes. Replenish her energy a bit before facing the sea of ??people again. The girl checked her cell phone to see if Arthur had texted or called but to no avail. There was no notification from the man.
She stayed there for about half an hour, finally she came out after she felt quite ready. Just as she came out of the toilet cubicle, she came face to face with Camille. The woman with the pink hair is polishing her makeup to get back on point. Kalea became reluctant to wash her hands beside Camille. Moreover, in the bathroom there were only the two of them. Kalea finally got up the courage to wash her hands in the sink, she occasionally stole glances at the woman.
“Did you enjoy the meal?” Camille asked making Kalea a little surprised. She didn’t expect Camille to ask her when they were alone.
“Y-yes, thanks again for accepting me as an uninvited guest,” Kalea replied with an awkward smile.
Camille smiled blandly, she put her lipstick back in her make-up pouch. “Actually I didn’t think Arthur would take you to my party. Are you dating Arthur?” Camille asked to the point.
“Eh?”
