Consequences of Dumping the Obsessive Boss: Stuck with Him Forever-Chapter 123: Attending the Sinclair Family’s Birthday Banquet
"Please go ahead, President Norris."
Noah walked over with two cups of coffee and handed one to Summer Lowell: "I heard from the headquarters that I received an invitation to the Sinclair Family’s birthday banquet, so they sent a partner over to attend with me, that partner is my female companion. I originally wanted to take you with me."
Summer Lowell was taken aback and looked confused: "Didn’t you say before not to attend the birthday banquet?"
"Originally, I didn’t plan to let you go," Noah took a sip of coffee and pushed a file folder on the table in front of Summer Lowell, "This is part of the guest list for the Sinclair Family’s birthday banquet that I asked someone to find out."
"What are you looking into this for? If the Sinclair Family finds out, it might cause a misunderstanding," Summer Lowell said as she picked up the file folder, pulled out the photos inside, and after seeing who was in the photo, instinctively widened her eyes, "Isn’t this person..."
"Yes, now you understand why I suddenly changed my mind to let you be my female companion?" Noah pointed at the photo, "Alan, the most prestigious jewelry designer abroad, I really didn’t expect him to have a connection with Maxim Sinclair."
Noah sighed repeatedly: "Knowing that this person will appear at the Sinclair Family’s banquet, all the designers in Stellarion are trying to find a way to attend. Summer Lowell, are you willing to go?"
Of course, Summer Lowell was willing to go, that was Alan. Even if she couldn’t talk to him, seeing him from a distance would be great.
"But, you just said, someone from headquarters is coming over to be your female companion, and we only have one invitation, even if I wanted to go, I wouldn’t have the chance!"
Noah was naturally aware of this, and he had been troubled by it since early this morning.
On a personal level, he didn’t want Justin Huxley, who had his eyes on Summer Lowell, to have another chance to get close to her.
But professionally, this matter is extremely beneficial to Summer Lowell, and getting her to attend this banquet is a decision made at a meeting by headquarters.
The opportunity to attend the event right now is to become Justin Huxley’s female companion.
Summer Lowell realized Noah’s intention and nodded: "Got it, I’ll contact my senior in a moment to see if he has found a female companion. If not, I will ask if he can take me."
"Yes, that’s all we can do."
After returning to her office, Summer Lowell took out her phone and dialed Justin Huxley’s number, and the call was quickly connected: "Summer?"
"Sorry, Senior, I wanted to ask you, have you found a female companion for the Sinclair Family’s birthday banquet?"
"Of course not!" Justin Huxley replied with a smile, "I’ve been waiting for you to agree, I won’t bring anyone else besides you."
His response made Summer Lowell hesitant to speak out about her intention.
As she hesitated, Justin Huxley spoke again: "By the way, I originally wanted to find you tonight, but Tina called me earlier to say that a particularly renowned jewelry designer would attend the Sinclair Family’s banquet, a person named Alan. I am not too familiar with the specifics."
Summer Lowell pressed her fingers against the table edge, listening intently to Justin Huxley on the other end.
Justin Huxley seemed to have thought of something else, paused for a moment, then spoke again: "So, be my female companion and go with me, I heard from Tina that the designer is awesome, and you’re just beginning your career, it’s a perfect time for networking, you won’t lose out, don’t worry I’ll have your back."
"Okay."
Just like that, Summer Lowell became Justin Huxley’s female companion to attend the Sinclair Family’s birthday banquet.
On the day of the banquet.
Feeling anxious, Summer Lowell took Justin Huxley’s arm and stepped into the grand estate where Maxim Sinclair was hosting Old Master Sinclair’s birthday banquet.
Justin Huxley turned his head, looking at a smiling Summer Lowell whose face seemed to be getting stiff, he leaned slightly and whispered in her ear: "You don’t have to keep smiling, you can play it cool. With my status, no one will trouble you, don’t worry, I’ll protect you."
Summer Lowell gave him a grateful smile, unconsciously tightening her left hand on his arm: "Where is Alan? I haven’t seen him anywhere."
"A figure like him wouldn’t be wandering below," Justin Huxley glanced around, soothing Summer Lowell, "I’ll ask Tina later where his resting room is and see if there’s a chance to take you to meet him."
"Can we really do that?" Summer Lowell immediately showed an expectant look.
Delighted by her hopeful gaze, Justin Huxley chuckled softly: "Since you’re so eager, even if it’s impossible, I’ll make it possible! I can’t bear to disappoint you."
Summer Lowell smiled, just about to thank him, when the conversation of two people behind her drew her attention.
"The person always by Maxim Sinclair’s side, is Miss Tina from the Huxley Family, right?"
"Yes, Miss Tina Huxley, she’s said to be the closest to Maxim Sinclair in the Huxley Family."
"Oh my, it seems those two are getting close to good news, aren’t they?"
"I think so, it’s the first time I’ve seen Maxim Sinclair bring a female companion, it must be special."
"You’re mistaken, last year Maxim Sinclair also brought a female companion, it seemed to be his secretary, she looked even prettier than Miss Tina, but later she wasn’t seen anymore, maybe she was transferred to another department."
The secretary being discussed, Summer Lowell, awkwardly glanced around, quietly asking Justin Huxley: "Senior, my feet are a bit tired, can we find a place to rest?"
"Sure, let’s find a spot to rest." Justin Huxley led her to a small garden with fewer people: "There are fewer people here, you can rest here first, there are too many people attending the banquet today, it might be hard to find a quieter place."
Feeling a bit flustered, Justin Huxley tugged at his collar: "What would you like to drink? I’ll get it for you." 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂
"Anything as long as it’s not alcohol."
Summer Lowell dared not get drunk on Maxim Sinclair’s premises.
Thinking of Maxim Sinclair, Summer Lowell’s ears involuntarily recalled the conversation she heard earlier.
In fact, the moment she stepped into this estate today, she saw Maxim Sinclair and Tina Huxley standing together like a perfect couple.
The two of them, talented and beautiful, seemed perfectly matched regardless of their family background or appearance.
And with such closeness, they probably were as others said, close to good news.
This left Summer Lowell with a complicated feeling.
"Miss Lowell, why are you standing here alone? Where’s my brother? Didn’t he come with you?" Hearing Tina Huxley’s voice, Summer Lowell immediately looked up and greeted both of them politely as she saw Maxim Sinclair also present.
Maxim Sinclair, however, didn’t respond to her and turned to chat with someone he knew nearby.
Witnessing this, Tina Huxley secretly chuckled: "My brother brought you here, why isn’t he looking after you properly? I’ll definitely mention this to him later!"
