Chapter 567
The annual Chamber of Commerce dinner in Sapphine was lively. Many industry leaders respected it
because it allowed them to meet and engage with business partners they had cooperated with through
the years. On the other hand, it was also to explore potential clients and perhaps better investments.
Alexander was naturally the center of attention at the dinner. Many small and medium–sized
companies who wanted to cooperate withi La Beauté Group, or hoped to gain his favor and investment,
would try their best to capture his attention.
Brittany was a little nervous as she held her wine glass. She stared at it for a long while but could not
get a chance to squeeze in and isolate Alexander from the crowd.
Arianna swayed, looked ahead smilingly, and muttered, “It‘s getting late.” Her voice was soft, and only
the two could hear it. Of course, only the two could understand each other. “I know,” Brittany pursed her
lips, “There are too many people. I‘m waiting for an opportunity.”
“Waiting is not an option. If you keep waiting, Alex will probably leave at any minute,” Arianna said with
a faint smile. She lowered her head and took a sip of the wine. She was busy greeting people non–
stop. Brittany‘s heart was conflicted. She decided to settle the case as soon as possible but was still
anxious about the approach. Her feelings for Alexander were love and fear at the same time. She had
loved him for many years but would feel timid when facing him.
She raised her head and gulped her wine to give herself courage. “Remember what we agreed on!”
Leaving those words behind, she strode toward Alexander‘s direction.
While approaching Alexander, she took two glasses of wine from the waiter‘s tray. She stared at the
man before her, with her pinky tapping the glass inadvertently. Then she pushed aside the crowd to get
to him.“Alex...”
Alexander looked back and saw Brittany.
“Alex, I was ignorant before. I did things that made you angry, and I was impulsive. I hope you can
forgive me,” Brittany seemed sincere as she handed Alexander a glass of wine, “I hope you can forgive
me.”
Looking at her, Alexander politely took the wine glass, but he did not drink it. “You‘re a grown – up now,
so you should consider the consequences before you act. I can forgive you this time since I still treat
you as my sister.”
Brittany‘s eyes glinted when she heard the word sister. “I see. If you forgive me, then let‘s toast to that!”
She raised the glass in her hand.
“Brittany, you and I are friends. We don‘t need to drink to make amends,” Alexander said. He seemed
like he did not want to drink.
“No, I insist!” Brittany stood before Alexander, fearing he would not drink the wine. She raised her head
and drank from her cup. “I‘m being sincere, so I liope you can give us–give me another chance.”
She fixed her eyes on Alexander‘s wine glass as if she would not feel at ease if he refused to drink.
“Really?” Alexander asked again, raising his eyebrows. Brittany‘s eyes flickered as she bit her bottom
lip. “Just this once?” “If that‘s what you want,” After pondering for a while, Alexander said slowly,
“Okay.”
