My Beloved

"Whether it's a topic or not, some employees might be invited on our Managing Director's birthday. John, you sounded so sure that no one from the company would be invited. It seems like you know something that we don't," Bridgette interrogated him with a stern gaze.

John Lu nervously laughed. "Ahahaha… it's not that I knew anything. I have a habit of observing people and I thought if someone was to get an invitation, they would tell us this happy news, wouldn't they?"

Bridgette narrowed her eyes. "Is that the only reason?"

Arthur sighed. "Why are you being so suspicious of your Mr. Intern? If he likes to be a Sherlock Holmes, it's not that bad."

"What I think is he is related to higher ups. That's why he can confidently say that," Bridgette accused.

"Even if he is related to someone, he is good at his job." Arthur supported John Lu.

"That's right," Diana agreed. "Isn't he better at your job than you are? He nailed the meeting today even though he is an intern. Being older and senior to him, what could you do? He even pointed out the mistakes in your ideas. Shouldn't you be ashamed of yourself?"

"What did you say?" Bridgette gritted her teeth and glared at Diana.

Seeing the situation was getting worse, John Lu butted in, "Wait, wait, we shouldn't quarrel about me. I don't have any connection here. Moreover, I was told by the Department Manager that the President, Vice President, and he together decided to take me as an intern. He even said that if I do a good job, he will take me as a part-timer."

"What?!" Bridgette freaked out. "He only said things like that so that you work hard."

"What are you surprised for?" Diana smirked. "He is capable and so he can be promoted. Are you worried that he would take your job?"

"He is here for two days only. Don't be too overjoyed just because you only exceeded everyone's expectations. You have no idea how to cooperate in a company," Bridgette said that to John Lu and then stomped away.

Diana sighed and patted John Lui's shoulder. "Don't worry about her. She is just a bit jealous. As long as you don't cross paths with her, this should be okay."

"Haha, I will try my best." Even John Lu knew that it was impossible not to cross paths with her.

In the evening, there was a huge party at Mo Yuan's house.

"Mom," Mo Yuan sighed helplessly. "Why did you invite my classmates? I don't even talk to them." He was wearing a black tuxedo, bow tie, pants, and shoes with a white shirt. There was a white rose on his left pocket. He looked like a prince from a fairy tale.

Ma Rui was in a good mood. She was wearing a purple mermaid evening gown. She looked absolutely stunning. She replied, "My, my, you are now marriageable age. We should celebrate it grandly. Moreover, I've invited the friends of our Luo'er."

"They are not Ah Luo's friends. You even let Sheng Ming's sisters come. Do you want to bring disaster on my birthday?" Mo Yuan questioned his mother coldly.

"Now, now, don't get angry. Just enjoy your precious time with your friends. You don't have to thank me later," she gave a wink and then pushed her son out of his bedroom.

Mo Yuan sighed after he was kicked out of his own room. 'I don't think I will thank you for this childish party,' he remorsefully thought and looked out of the window.

He could see the huge hall filled with people. 'All I wanted was to spend some time with Ah Luo. It's been a while we are alone,' he thought. Thanks to his mother, he had to waste this precious time on some useless people. He narrowed his eyes.

The students from his and Han Luo's class gathered there. They were all wearing fancy clothes.

After finding out that Mo Yuan lived in the richest area in the United Kingdom, the girls dressed up prettily. Their greedy eyes were looking around the hall and dreaming to get married to this young man so that they could live there.

Han Luo was standing in the corner with Beth. They were eating the snacks that had been served. Beth was wearing a blue evening gown and Han Luo was wearing a pink off-shoulder sweetheart prom dress and a vintage shawl around her shoulders.

"Honestly, why are these unwanted people here? I can't fathom what Mrs. Mo is thinking." Beth seemed irritated.

"Can't you understand?" a feminine voice asked.

Han Luo and Beth turned around to see who spoke. They found Han Weiwei and Han Wanwan, along with some other women around their age. They were all wearing luxurious revealing clothes. Their cleavages and some other parts were showing. Boys were ogling at them.

Beth sighed seeing these two clowns after a long time. She began to have a headache. She was wondering even more why they were invited by Mrs. Mo.

"It's been a while, Weiwei *jiejie, Xiao Wanwan. How are you doing?"

"It's been a while indeed. We are doing fine," Han Wanwan replied excitedly.

She was never been to a beautiful mansion before. Moreover, it was Mo Yuan's house. That's her dream man's house. How could she not be excited?

"But it seems like that you are the one who won't be found," Han Weiwei stepped forward and mocked Han Luo. Other girls were giggling at her words.

"What do you mean by that?" Beth frowned. She never liked Han Weiwei. She was way more scheming than her younger sister.

Han Weiwei crossed her arms under her bosom. "It's only fair of brother Yuan getting bored of Xiao Luo. I mean, it has been so long since brother Yuan is with her. He must be tired of her already. Now he wants to have someone better. Isn't that why he and his family invited us all? They must one to choose the best girl for their son; not an orphan who killed her parents."
