Alfred came with Franklin.
But the two separated as soon as they entered.
Maybe Alfred didn't want Franklin to make trouble, so he sent him away.
It seemed that Franklin didn't care about Alfred at all and went to flirt with other woman alone.
Essie seriously suspected that he was also a bisexual like Alfred, but as Alfred's servant, he was
always suppressed by him and couldn't show his nature.
It was a society that depended on the appearance. Handsome men could always attract more women's
attention.
Soon, Alfred and Franklin found their partner.
After a waltz, Alfred walked towards Irene.
"Your elegant French Miss, may I invite you to dance?"
Irene kept looking at Zac, who was with his wife in the corner. Absent-minded, she reached out her
hand and put it on the back of his hand.
Alfred was a good dancer. Irene danced with him and had no time to look around.
"Mr. Alfred, you are a good dancer," Irene praised.
"Thank you." Alfred smiled like a gentleman. "Miss Irene, you should often go to my place with your
brother and sister-in-law."
"Mr. Alfred, are you familiar with my brother and sister-in-law?" Irene was slightly shocked.
"Of course, I like to play. I often hold parties and invite them to come. But I didn't expect him to have
such a beautiful French sister," Alfred said with a smile.
"I'm not his biological sister," Irene explained hurriedly.
"I know. You are the adopted daughter of Mrs. Mary." Alfred smiled.
"Yes." Irene nodded, "I didn't expect my mother to be the real daughter in law of the Rong family."
"Great clans always have unexpected things to happen, so does my clan." Alfred sighed.
"Mr. Alfred, are you going to live in Dragon City for a long time?" asked Irene.
"My father asked me to explore the Chinese market, so I will stay here for a while. China is a good
place. I like it very much, and I also like the people here," Alfred said with a smile.
"I also like China, so I plan to settle here and won't go back to Provence," Irene said with a smile.
"Then next time at the party, miss Irene, would you like to come?" Alfred invited.
"Okay." Irene agreed without hesitation.
Not far away, Essie and Zac turned their eyes to them.
"Alfred is a playboy. Does he want to pursue Irene?" Essie was a little worried.
"Have you ever told her about the romantic affairs between Alfred and Franklin?" Zac frowned.
"Yes." Essie nodded. As her sister-in-law, she was very dutiful. She didn't want her to choose the wrong
person.
"That's all right. Irene is not a child. She can judge by herself." Zac shrugged.
"I hope so." Essie looked around and finally fixed her eyes on Franklin.
He held a beautiful woman in his arms and danced happily. They were talking and laughing, and he
didn't care about Alfred at all.
It seemed that the relationship between the two was quite strange.
After the song, Essie and Zac walked to Alfred.
"Let's have a drink together, Mr. Alfred," Essie said with a smile.
"I'd rather have a dance than have a drink." Alfred smiled wickedly.
Zac immediately put his arms around the slender waist of Essie and said, "I'm sorry to disappoint you.
My wife can only dance with me." His tone was quite rude.
Alfred sighed, "Mr. Rong, you are pursuing supremacy."
"You should be more bossy to your wife." A faint smile played at the corners of Zac's mouth.
Irene looked at Essie with envy and resentment. "My sister-in-law is the happiest and luckiest woman
in the world. I really envy her. I really hope that one day I can find a man as excellent as my brother,
who loves me wholeheartedly," she said with mixed feelings.
Alfred smiled and said, "Miss Irene, you are so beautiful and noble. Of course you can find a good
husband. Isn't the ball tonight specially prepared for you? There are so many young talents in Dragon
City. If you check carefully among them, maybe you will pick a suitable one. If not, I can recommend
myself. Although I'm not from Dragon City, I'm also a good person."
Irene was shocked. When Essie introduced the romantic story of Alfred to her. She didn't expect that
someone would like to play it with both man and woman. It was so weird.
She could not accept it.
"Mr. Alfred, you are so good at joking. We are not the right person for each other. You are here with
your male partner," she smiled and said on purpose.
Alfred shrugged. "Franklin is just my servant. Every master and every lady of our Aldridge family has
their own servant."
"I see. I thought you have a special sexual orientation and don't like women," Irene said jokingly.
"No, no, no. I'm a normal man, a completely straight man. I only like women." Alfred pursed his lips and
looked serious. He didn't seem to be joking at all.
Shocked, Essie turned to look at Zac. Zac was expressionless and didn't show any surprise. He always
knew how to control his expression. But Essie guessed that he should be surprised too.
Fell said he was a gay. Franklin said he was bisexual, but he denied it. He said he was a completely
straight man.
Oh God! This freak not only has a strange character, but also his sexual orientation was a mystery.
"Mr. Alfred, I find that you are very mysterious. But I don't like to play the game of ONS. If I want to find
a man to get married, I should know him thoroughly and well," Irene said seriously.
Alfred put on an aggrieved look and said, "Miss Irene, you must have misunderstood me. In fact, I'm a
very simple person, even simpler than Mr. Zac."
With a smile, Essie said, "Mr. Alfred, please don't make fun of us. My mother loves Irene very much.
She just wants to keep her by her side and has never thought of marrying her abroad."
"That's a pity. I have a good impression of miss Irene and hope to be friends with her." Alfred showed a
very depressed expression.
"Mr. Alfred, of course we can be friends." Irene said with a smile, "I'm also willing to attend your party
with my brother and sister-in-law."
"That's great." Alfred said with a smile.
Essie was more and more interested in his sexual orientation. When he went to the bathroom, she
went to talk to Franklin.
As the person who had been with him since he was a child, Franklin should know him best.
Franklin had just finished a dance with a beautiful woman and sat in front of the bar counter to rest.
"Did you have a good time, Franklin?" Essie asked with a smile.
"I'm very happy. Thank you for your invitation, Mrs. Essie," Franklin said with a coquettish smile.
Essie ordered two glasses of cocktail and handed one to him. "Your master, Mr. Alfred, seems to be
interested in our Irene."
"Our master Alfred is interested in beautiful women. He has never lacked any woman besides him,"
Franklin said in an indifferent tone. Obviously, he was used to his fickleness.
"So he is not gay, but straight?" asked Essie.
Franklin sneered, "He also has a lot of beautiful young men around him."
"But he said he was a completely straight man." Raising her eyebrows, Essie looked at her in
confusion.
"If a man tells you that he likes a woman regardless of gender, will you still accept him?" Franklin asked
slowly in a mocking tone.
Hearing that, Essie choked. What he said was reasonable. If a man wanted to chase a woman, he
must say that he was a normal man.
However, it was not ruled out that Alfred was really a straight man, while Franklin was a gay. He liked
Alfred, so he destroyed his reputation outside and made women not dare to approach him.
"Franklin, do you like your master?" she asked tentatively.
"We are just servant and master. There is nothing else," Franklin answered straightforwardly.
Was it? A big question came to Essie's mind.
She suddenly found that the relationship between Alfred and Franklin was quite complicated and weird.
While she was thinking, Franklin's voice came faintly. "Mrs. Essie, you'd better remind miss Irene to
stay away from master Alfred, in case of unnecessary emotional injury. My duty is also to remind
master Alfred to pay attention to his own words and deeds. Don't be too indulgent and delay their
work."
"Of course I will." Essie nodded. She didn't want Irene to get involved with Alfred. Even if he was a
straight man, he was a real playboy and was not suitable for marriage and having children together.
"Have a good time, Franklin." She smiled and left.
Looking at her back, a strange look flashed through Franklin's eyes.
On the other side, Alfred and Irene were talking happily. Zac returned to their previous position, as if he
didn't want to get involved in their conversation.
Essie walked to him and sat down.
"Honey, did you get any gossip news?" Zac asked jokingly.
"Franklin said that his master Alfred was just pretending to be straight to win women's heart." Essie
shrugged.
"It's normal. Women are not like men. They pay too much attention to sexual orientation," Zac said
slowly.
"I always feel that Alfred and his servant are strange. The relationship between the two is unclear."
Essie pouted.
"That's their privacy. We don't need to know." Zac threw up his hands.
