Debbie was thrilled by her granddaughter's reaction. She blew her a kiss.
The next afternoon, as soon as Nadia finished her report, she told
Evelyn, “I cancelled the dinner last night as per your instruction. Mr
Duran didn't take it well. They had been waiting for you for nearly an hour. His assistant called a while earlier to say that he was disappointed that the appointment was cancelled.”
Evelyn knew she was the one to blame.
"Book a private booth at Orchid
Private Club for dinner tonight. Let them know that the dinner is on me and I'll personally apologize to Mr. Duran for cancelling yesterday's appointment," she said.
"Yes, Miss Evelyn."
In the evening, Evelyn walked into the lounge and looked through the closet. She didn't find anything she Liked.
After a couple of minutes, she selected a light-colored cheongsam embroidered with orchids and put it on. The dress hugged her curves and showed her graceful figure perfectly.
At Orchid Private Club
There were three people in Room 669, waiting for Evelyn. Duran
Armstrong told the man next to him, "Mr. Maddock, we cannot deal with
Carlos directly, but we can make things difficult for his daughter."
The two men flashed an evil smile. Maddock Truman said with a snort,
“We have to flatter Carlos all the time to gain his favor. Since he's on a business trip now, we can deal with his daughter. We can make things hard for her and make her pay for what her father has done to us."
“You're right, but don't make it too obvious. Otherwise, we'll have hell to pay if Carlos finds out."
After thinking it over for a while, Maddock suggested, “She is the host tonight, isn't she? Call the waiter. Let's order before she arrives."
“Yeah! The food here is very expensive. We should call our friends and ask them to have dinner with us too. That way, the dinner would cost her a fortune and we will be doing our friends a favor." Duran took out his phone and started to call his friends.
Maddock suggested, “We need to call those who are Hilton Group's partners, or our plan will be exposed."
"Right!"
When Evelyn arrived at the private booth, there were more people waiting for her than she had expected.
As she walked in, Duran stared at her cheongsam-clad figure. His eyes almost popped out.
Those who knew him for a long time knew how much he Liked women in cheongsams.
In the light-colored cheongsam, Evelyn looked more attractive than any women he had seen. Even those young models he had dated couldn't hold a candle to her.
