Page 438 of Assistant to My Contracted Husband

All the others were locals from Italy.

The locals communicated in Italian, which made Jian Ran’s scalp tingle.

However, Jian Ran’s distinct beauty still made all the men marvel when she appeared.

...

The melodious piano music opened the entire evening’s prologue.

Jian Ran, not adept at wearing high heels, chose to quietly find a corner to sit down as the party began.

Why didn’t Gu Mochen show up at Bon’s dinner?

Where on earth had he gone?

Jian Ran frowned slightly... without Gu Mochen by her side.

She was actually feeling insecure.

In the morning, if it hadn’t been for Gu Mochen’s reassurance, telling her that she could land the collaboration using the pseudonym JR, and sparking her fighting spirit,

she might not have secured it smoothly...

No news from the man for nearly 2 days, especially being in a foreign country.

Jian Ran felt an emptiness inside...

An unnamed emotion spread within her.

...

"Miss Jian, you look really beautiful tonight."

Cameron had been mingling and exchanging pleasantries throughout the party, but his gaze remained on Jian Ran in the corner. Seeing that there wasn’t anyone by her side, he saw it as an opportunity to make a move.

Therefore, Cameron, in his tailcoat evening attire, approached Jian Ran with a glass of red wine in hand.

Jian Ran: "..."

Jian Ran squeezed out a slight smile, lightly touched her champagne to his in a simple gesture, and whispered, "Thank you."

Jian Ran took a modest sip and then set it down.

Seeing this, Cameron took the initiative to invite her.

"Miss Jian, I wonder if I might have the honor of asking you for a dance."

"I’m sorry, Mr. Cameron, I don’t dance," Jian Ran bluntly refused. She had already secured the design case and was now just waiting for the chance to meet Mrs. Gail of Bon...

That way, perhaps... the few designs she had just finished might find a home.

Cameron felt a bit embarrassed after being rejected by Jian Ran and couldn’t find a way to save face.

He was a supervisor, not too insignificant.

And Jian Ran was just a minor employee of the Gu Family.

Who gave her such a temper?

"Miss Jian, are you saying you won’t give me face?"

"I’m sorry..."

Jian Ran’s lips formed a faint smile, responding neither too humbly nor haughtily.

"You..."

Just as Cameron was about to get angry, he heard a deep voice behind him.

"Cameron... a gentleman should not invite a lady to dance with that kind of attitude."

Upon hearing this, Jian Ran looked past Cameron to see a well-groomed man, her lips pursing slightly.

The man’s words were clearly meant to press down on Cameron, indicating he must be Cameron’s superior.

However, which level of superior he was remained unknown.

Jian Ran’s lips formed a faint smile again, while Cameron’s face changed color at the words.

"Mrs. Gail."

Upon hearing this, Jian Ran’s eyes brightened...

It was Gail!

The president of Bon...

Jian Ran promptly said, "Mrs. Gail, it’s a pleasure to meet you... I am Jian Ran from the design department of the Gu Family, and I’m delighted to make your acquaintance."

Jian Ran politely extended her hand to shake Gail’s.

"Miss Jian is too modest. This morning I saw Miss Jian’s design works, which were as delicate as orchids. Not only is Miss Jian beautiful, but her capability is also there for all to see. For the Gu Family to have a talent like Miss Jian join them is indeed their good fortune."
