Just when they were about to flock around him like bees to honey, they stopped because of the woman who came with him.
Keely soon locked arms with Marco. She had a beige dress on. Her hair was nicely styled. She Looked like a blossoming lily. Her gait could be compared to that of a queen.
A sea of eyes fell on her once she came in with Marco.
Keely noticed their intense gaze, so she smiled more brightly.
She enjoyed being the center of attention.
Keely had cried about her fiance’s death in Marco’s presence. It stirred up his sympathy, so he decided to take her to the banquet. She intended to milk this opportunity. She was going to tell the whole world that she was in an intimate relationship with him.
Just as she wanted, everyone who saw her holding Marco suspected that they had something to do with each other.
Only a few weeks ago, the news of Marco’s divorce had spread. Keely was also alleged to be the mistress who broke his marriage.
Everyone reasoned that the allegation wasn’t groundless, after all.
It appeared that these two were in a serious relationship that might lead to marriage.
Keely held her head up high, taking in all the envious stares. She even envisaged walking down the aisle in a white dress, while Marco waited for her on the altar someday.
All the while, she didn’t notice that Marco was wearing a grim look.
His frown deepened when Keely locked arms with him.
ALL of a sudden, his eyes caught glimpse of a beautiful figure. He stopped dead in his tracks.
