Chapter 1192: Chapter 1192: She Recognizes This Man!
Evening, a red wine banquet.
Ann Nolan wore the long evening gown Zachary Santos had given her, a peachy pink with an off-the-shoulder design that complinted her skin.
She had curled her long hair and draped it over her shoulders, looking utterly charming.
Stripping away her usual seriousness and sincerity, she appeared delicate and enchanting at the mont.
Already beautiful, and quite tall, Ann Nolan stood out among a crowd of won with just a bit of makeup and dressing up.
She was Zachary Santos’s secretary and followed him throughout the event.
This banquet, held by the social elites of Landon for Zachary Santos, was to celebrate his successful acquisition of several companies, as well as his return ho.
Among the guests were friends of Zachary Santos.
The hotel ballroom was luxuriously decorated, with crystal chandeliers casting a soft glow, surrounded by a scene of lights and colors, balloons, and flowers, with even the air carrying a hint of rose fragrance.
Zachary Santos personally picked up Ann Nolan and walked with her on the red carpet.
It was Ann Nolan’s first ti attending such a formal banquet with Zachary Santos, and moreover, he was the man of the hour.
“Hold my arm,” Zachary Santos whispered, looking down.
“Okay,” Ann Nolan took his arm.
There were n with their female companions all around, a flock of beauties at first sight.
Zachary Santos was tall, and even in heels, Ann Nolan was still a head shorter than him, but she was striking, particularly tall and noticeable among the group of won.
Ann Nolan didn’t have many friends in Landon and hadn’t previously been exposed to such circles.
However, she hadn’t expected to encounter Harper Glorian at this kind of event.
Had she sent her that anonymous text without thinking she would be here?
Ann Nolan knew Harper Glorian all too well; her family’s financial situation was not good, and she didn’t have a stable job in Landon. Was her presence at such a party thanks to Zaiden Santos’s blessing?
Clearly, Harper Glorian was taken aback when she saw Ann Nolan.
And when she saw Zachary Santos, her face beca even more unsightly. She recognized this man!
Never did she imagine he was Zachary Santos, the brother of Zaiden Santos!
Following Ann Nolan’s gaze, Zachary Santos also saw Harper Glorian sitting on a sofa, holding a glass of red wine.
His eyes instantly turned cold, and his look towards Harper Glorian contained a warning.
Harper Glorian was not so tactless as to cause trouble with the guests at the party; she intentionally turned her head, pretending not to see Zachary Santos and Ann Nolan, but not daring to stir up trouble.
Harper Glorian was dressed seductively, in a backless black evening gown with her wavy long hair cascading over her shoulders, complented by a pricey necklace around her neck.
Ann Nolan was not particularly interested in Harper Glorian, and given the size of the hall, she could avoid her.
Zachary Santos led her to the VIP seats.
“Drink less tonight,” Zachary Santos advised her.
“I know,” Ann Nolan lowered her voice, “Did Mr. Cheney co?”
“I heard they invited Mr. Cheney, but they received a call saying he had sothing urgent and had to cancel.”
“What about Joan Harry?”
“She didn’t co either.”
“Oh, okay,” Ann Nolan nodded.
She asked these questions because she was a bit concerned about Jasmine Yale, that little girl.
It should be morning for Jasmine at this ti.
Although they would chat online and stay in contact, it was not the sa as eting in person. It had been over half a year since they had last seen each other.
“Tonight’s banquet might run quite late, I’ll take you ho afterward,” Zachary Santos said.
“Thanks for the trouble.”
“No problem, it’s only right. After all, you ca here with today,” Zachary Santos said, looking down at her.
